Here's a tip: Don't try to decide which massage to surprise her with, let her choose.
When you book at the Aurea Experience level, each adult in the cabin (or if you want her to have 2 massages during the cruise, I think it's just 2 to the cabin and you don't have to use yours) gets 1 massage up to 1 hour, excluding the Bali 4 Hands massage or couples massages. You can also pay the difference to upgrade to other services.
When you check into the ship, get your cruise card and your Aurea wristbands (free!), before you even can get into your stateroom, leave your bags with the hand luggage check desk and go straight to the Aurea spa, just front of midship on Deck 8. That's when you can schedule your massage and/or other services with the spa, hair salon, barbershop, nail salon, etc. It fills up fast! My wife was able to get a Sunday (first sea day) afternoon appt, and I went for the 2nd sea day (Thursday, we were on Western Carib on the MSC Seaside out of Miami).
The point is, let your wife choose what she wants when you go to the spa and surprise her with her complimentary Aurea Spa service and Thermal Area access all week! Then they give you a tour of the thermal area - it was open immediately when they boarded passengers - and enjoy it! At the Aurea level your stateroom will have comfy robes and slippers for you to wear to the spa, and they give you as many soft towels as you want every time you use the Thermal Area. Use your wristband to lock and unlock your spa locker!
You're both gonna love it!
**Edit: I realize you're on the Seaview, which I have heard is identical to the Seaside, which we were on, but hopefully this info is as helpful as I thought it was when I wrote it! :-)
Is there any way to book the "free" massage that comes with the Aurea package before boarding, or is it only possible once onboard?
