Spa Services are they cheaper in port?

[LHC]

Okay, I have heard that spa services are half price when in port. Is this true. They are expensive....but at half price I might be able to use them for my daughter and myself.

You old cruisers let me know

I gather you mean the Spa services on the ship? If so, yes, sometimes they have specials on port days. Just watch for the flyers from the Spa.

[LAFFNVEGAS]

That is one of those BIG unknown questions Like the UpGrade Fairy. It varies from ship to ship and from cruise to cruise. The pricing is never consistant.

[meglet]

I've never noticed them quite as low as "half price," but there are some discounts.

I have to laugh, my girlfriend, (now wife), got one of those on the Zaandam 01/2004 and the accompanying stuff they sold her to detox for 30 days after. She had been feeling "flabby".....didn't see much in the way of a reduction in "flab" but I can't blame the product of procedure....turns out she was pregnant....

Congrats - she sure got more than she paid for...better than most that paid those prices - and those are the specials??? I am in the wrong racket..!

Happy cruising all!!

[CruiseQueen13]

I too have seen reduced prices but, not half. If they were half don't even want to know what my spa bill would be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LHC]

Any of you have a specific massage or spa service on-board that you can recommend? What a Great email response of being Pregnant!! As a nurse, I do not believe in quick fat fixes, just slow good exercise and diet control, but I do love the relaxation of massage therapy....

My fave is Ionithermie - a detoxifying algae wrap with electrodes stuck in them that zap your abdominal and thigh muscles to force contractions, for what reason I don't know. They zap you for 20 minutes or so, and - voila! - your thighs and tummy have shrunk! Ladies and gentlemen, I come here to say that this treatment, while not approved for application in the U.S., WORKS! The most I have lost is 13+ inches, measured in 4 places, and noticeably firmer skin texture. Naturally, they recommend 3 treatments for the 'full effect'. The procucts they offer for sale do not work independently. You need to purchase several, as one is a catalyst for another.

 

Candy <-- will do it again on Zuidy #6 on 11/12

Unless something has changed, this purported 'medical procedure' has not been approved for application in the US. If it is, I wanna know where (not that I'll stop cruising, I'll just have more treatments).

 

I'll check it out.
