Spa Massage Prices

I'd appreciate input on the various massages offered. Substanital differences in costs and wondering if the cost difference makes a big difference in the quality of the massage. What is a ABHYANGA MASSAGE? Thanks! Denise

deleted. Do not have answer for that massage.

The only thing that matters is the operator. You cAn pay a fortune for a massage and it can be lousy

most of the massages were $145 some days they had special prices check the Currents

did not have that type of massage so no comments

Thanks! If you have paid gratuities does that include paid gratuities in the Spa?

No...the PPG are for the wait and housekeeping staffs. You will pay 18% extra for all other services including bar staff ...

Look here for a list of spa prices: http://www.thepreismans.com/riviera16_menus.htm

NO

PPG only for Housekeeping & wait staff

I think the spa charges are a total ripoff by comparison to other I have experienced in any number of Hotels. ,!

You are not forced to use their services:rolleyes:

The only reason we are considering massages is because of a large OBC. Otherwise, pretty cost-prohibitive.

We used our OBC for a couple of treatments each

Nothing wrong with a little pampering, on-board and at home, right? :)

I had a nice massage aboard the Nautica but had to shut my eyes on the price. I am a retired American living in Thailand and massages are $3 to $15. Much more aboard but the atmosphere is a 10+.

No I don't have to use the ships services, that does not mean that I shouldn't consider the charges to be excessive !

I can go to my local fully qualified physio, chirpractor, blah blah blah and get specific treatments or general massage for relief of sports injuries of for relaxation for considerably less than these charges. Let alone on holiday in some very nice 5 star hotels where charges have been some what less.

The,problem here is one is captive and it just , maybe just makes one feel there lies the problem, no option but to,use the services!

Sorry if I dared to critise Oceania.

The charges in the spa are excessive. With a large obc it's an option many use.

the shore excursions are expensive also

we do not use them ...our personal choice

ymmv

I don't recall the prices, but I do remember Siddhu, whose sports massages truly helped my chronic sciatica. I'm hoping to find him on one or both of my future cruises. Best massages ever!! Marlene
