New Spa Prices for Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Sea's

Hello All,

I'm new to this message board and new to cruising as well. I'm going on my first cruise to the Southern Caribbean in Sept. 08' on Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Sea’s. Naturally, as a first time cruiser I’ve had a lot of questions before sailing. I found Royal Caribbean's customer service quite helpful in answering many of the questions I’ve had. All except for one; Spa prices. I found little to no information online about pricing so I decided to give them a call. They instructed me to check the website for a full list of services they offer onboard the ship. Thinking that it would include prices like the excursions do I checked it out. After finding the list with no information at all on costs I called back and another rep insisted that they do not have the pricing information. She explained to me that I would get a full list of services offered along with prices once I board the ship. So just out of curiosity I e-mail their customer service from the link on the Royal Caribbean website. I requested all prices for all Spa treatments for Adventure of the Sea’s for my cruise date; 09/07/08. It took like 3 days to get a response but low and behold they gave me what I asked for.

Below you will find the exact e-mail they sent to me. I’m guessing these prices are probably good for all of 08’ and possibly 09’. I found it interesting how generic and lacking the Spa section of their website is after receiving this information. It seems that a lot the treatments differ from each ship. I don’t know if their website is outdated, but from this e-mail I found that there are some totally different treatments offered that were not listed on their site at all. Again, I really think the pricing should be listed on their site. It would help people plan better before they board. If they can do this for the excursions why not for the Spa treatments? I don’t get it. Especially if they can easily e-mail all of this information to me, which looks to me quite standard. I bet they get this type of request all the time. So as promised here are the current prices for Adventure of the Sea’s Ship Shape Day Spa. Hope this helps everyone:

Thank you for your email.

Thank you for that. It will help me plan - I am feeling relaxed already.

spa treatments vary from ship to ship. spa treatments also vary in price depending on whether you're at sea or in port. (specials are generally offered on port days.) prices and specials also are contingent on how busy the salon is. on one cruise, they were offering foot massages for one dollar per minute in the solarium, first come - first served, as regular business was slow that day.

The spa isn't RCI personnel--they are independant agents, which could explain the different services on different ships!

ShipShape Spa's are run by the Steiner Group on all RCI Ships. The product is Elemis.....the services should actually be the same :cool:

(rolling my eyes at myself now, lol I didnt see Steiner gr. mentioned by the OP)

:) Angela, will you be my new best friend??? I have been trying to get spa prices forever. NOW, I can plan my money! Thank you so much for all of your effort!!:)

Thanks so much for the pricing list. I am a first time cruiser as well and happen to be going the same dates. I guess I need to tell my husband he needs to bring extra $$$$ for the spa, now I can choose which ones I would like to do. :)

Steiner has all the cruise ships. My young lady on Carnival had just come from Holland cruise line on the ship that starts with a z....mind is blank at the moment. When we were in St thomas she visited with her friends on that ship. She explained that they can switch cruiselines when available to do so and that they can be moved to fill in when contracts are ending. She told me that they all have their group of cabins together and they pretty much stick together as a family. Pretty cool. Services vary and prices vary from each ship and cruiseline. They all have the same training however and I love the in port specials!!!! Oh and those first evening sailaway specials.
