A Knitter Posted November 12, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thank you A Knitter! The planning on how to burn through the OBC can now begin in earnest. Welcome. The mad rush to the Spa on embarkation to review the spa services is just too hectic. A few massages and/or services and the OBC is depleted:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roothy123 Posted November 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yes, I think that $500 OBC will disappear fast if I step in there...but then again, I don't even have a clue as to what half that stuff is, and whether I might like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted November 13, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Here I am being a cheap, wet blanket again. I have had my services like nails and massages done in the ports that I visit. You can research ahead of time to know what to expect. Over on the ports of calls boards many poeple discuss spas in the ports. Also I often plan a visit to a local spa at the end of my trip. That way after all the stress of traveling home I have something to look forward to and to re-energize me. Plus usually at big savings. The ships spas are very nice and provide comparable services to high end resorts and some people love that convenience. All are great choices.

A Knitter Posted November 13, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Totally agree with you. I am scheduled for a massage in Tobago while in port and will look for a nail salon as well in another Don't mind a massage or two onboard as I plan ahead to spend the $, but some of the prices are outrageous.

A Knitter Posted November 13, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Could you please tell me the details of your massage in Tobago. I have done this is P. Vallarta a couple of times and enjoy it after a day sightseeing.Thanks for posting the Spa prices, too. Joanne Here you go. I will be getting the 90 minute massage. I believe the taxi ride is no more than 6-8 US dollar and another member is sharing the ride to the resort:) We are twenty five minutes from the main port of Scarborough, easily accessible by taxi. Our massages start at $60 US for the hour long reflexology, deep tissue and Swedish style massages and $80 US for the hour and a half long shiatsu or thai yoga massage treatments. Advance booking is required. We also have a wonderful restaurant and bar onsite that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as salads and sandwiches throughout the day if you want a little snack after your session. Thank you for contacting Kariwak and we look forward to hearing from you soon. www.kariwak.com The restaurant serves breakfast from 7.30-10.30, lunch from 12.30-2.30 and salads and sandwiches are available from 11am – 7pm and the bar is open throughout the day. We do not have any shops on the premises and the pool is reserved for registered guests however you are welcome to hang out at the hammocks and lounge chairs in the back garden and maybe, if it is very quiet, we could discuss use of the outdoor Jacuzzi area, also in the back garden. Pigeon Point and Store Bay beaches are also within walking or taxi distance and there are shops at both of these sites – more so at Pigeon Point. The taxi ride from the port to Kariwak would be 30 minutes at the most, usually more like 20 but with traffic off your vessel all returning around the same time, it’s hard to say for sure. I would think the best bet would be to have your massages, have lunch around noon then head over to Pigeon Point for a shop and a swim before getting back to the boat. Hope this helps (copied to Maria as well) and looking forward to hearing from you soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friscorays Posted January 5, 2010 #11 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Some services were discounted throughout the cruise, as is usually done. A 30% off coupon was also distributed for attending a brief talk on the services which they offer (to be used on port days only). My wife had an aromatherapy massage, canyon ranch massage and oygen boost facial on separate days with a therapist named Drainah. She enjoyed the Spa very much. An 18% tip is suggested.

lyndenfa Posted January 5, 2010 #12 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Is there not a gratuity added already, plus another 18%? I usually give 20% but this time I thought I read some is already added to the bill, so I wondered if they are getting 35 to 40 percent? pretty good, if that is that.

Friscorays Posted January 5, 2010 #13 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Is there not a gratuity added already.... No. The brochure with pricing states "An 18% service charge will be added to all listed prices." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondnana Posted January 5, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Having just returned from the Regatta Holiday Cruise, I must say that the quality of the services-treatments given on Canyon Ranch are far superior to those given by the previous company.

Rare LHT28 Posted January 6, 2010 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2010 No. The brochure with pricing states "An 18% service charge will be added to all listed prices." so it is added not just a "suggestion" :confused: just like purchases of wine or other alcoholic drinks Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friscorays Posted January 6, 2010 #16 Share Posted January 6, 2010 so it is added not just a "suggestion" :confused: just like purchases of wine or other alcoholic drinks Lyn We were happy with the service and tipped accordingly so I do not know if it would be possible to tip less. The tip was added to an itemized hand-written receipt at our request and the total then appeared on our stateroom account as the lump sum amount. I would think that one could tip a lesser amount (or none at all if somebody really wanted to prove a point) and that such a request would be honored but I do not know this to be an absolute fact.

lyndenfa Posted January 6, 2010 #18 Share Posted January 6, 2010 No. The brochure with pricing states "An 18% service charge will be added to all listed prices." Does that mean a service charge is not the same as a gratuity? I guess I was okay all along if that is the case. I am not trying to save a few dollars, just understand. I have always just added the 20% to the total bill. Is that how others see this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give the girl a little extra in cash If you are adding 20% on top of the 18% they must love you 48% would be a great tip:D According to O website for the spa Gratuities An 18 percent service charge is included in all listed prices. Any additional gratuities for exceptional service are appreciated, but not expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Knitter Posted January 6, 2010 Author #21 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I also agree with others that the service with Canyon Spa was far better than the previous contract owners. The Spa Manager was always available to the passengers which was non-existent before. I forgot to post in my review recently that the manicurist only do acrylic nails and not silk wraps.

Any additional gratuities for exceptional service are appreciated, but not expected. That is true but I also note that there are no actual prices on the web site. I am holding a physical brochure obtained on-board approximately two weeks ago titled "Menu of Services aboard Oceania Cruises Canyon Ranch SpaClub" which lists the spa prices and explicitly states "An 18% service charge will be added to all listed prices. Additional tipping for exceptional service is appreciated but not expected." Another brochure titled "Guide to Services aboard Oceania Cruises Canyon Ranch SpaClub" had the following quote REDACTED with dark black ink: "An 18% charge is included in all listed prices. Any additional gratuities for exceptional service are appreciated but not expected." We arranged all tips through Natalie, the Spa manager, who made it clear that tips were not included in listed brochure price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems high for taxes even by O standards Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
