Two questions - spa and payment options

Two separate questions:

1) Do they ever "sell out" of the week long (or cruise long) spa packages? It doesn't look like something you can buy ahead of time and it's vital to my mental health (LOL) that we get it! I know we can head to the spa when we board the ship right away, but in reality - has anyone ever heard of it being sold out.

2) If you make a purchase on the ship (in this case I'm talking about an internet package), can you go to the purser's desk and make a payment specifically for that? Specifically, can I choose one payment method for one service and another for everything else? I am going to need the Internet package for work (see question 1 above) so I need to pay for it with business funds rather than personal funds. I can't purchase that ahead of time, can I?

Yes you can make multiple payments to your account at the end of your cruise or even before onboard. Let's hope you win in the casino to pay part....you have a prepaid credit card for some more, and use a credit card for the rest.....any combination you choose. Just register a credit card for your onboard expenses in the beginning and check your statement at the end of the voyage to make sure it is accurate. You cannot designate ahead of time the use of one card or another, but you can certainly itemize them at the end.

I don't think it's possible to get separate bills for your personal and business expenses. If you go to the front desk and pay exactly the internet package amount using your business card right after purchasing it, the charge and credit should appear close together on the bill. Use your personal card for the initial "hold" and at the end of the cruise to pay the rest.

We booked the spa package on our October cruise on NA as soon as we boarded the ship because of the discount offered. It was the best purchase we made all week! We were told that they sold out by the second morning, but it was never crowded. If they allowed advanced purchase of the package we certainly would. Since they don't, we will be headed to the spa to purchase as soon as possible.

Thanks everyone. I'll just buy the package and then pay for it ASAP. I'm sure that will be sufficient for my tax records.

And I'll hot foot it to the spa right away. We booked it a couple of years ago on the first day but I recall that they weren't offering any specials (other than reduced pricing for 2). Either way - It's worth full price to me no matter what.
