Sorry, I dont know the exact cost but I do know its a lot more than having those nice things done before you leave home. Unless cost is no object of course!!

I'm sorry I don't know the cost either, but I've had to have them done on the ship (ran out of time before I left, broke a nail, etc). They don't really do a very good job and they are expensive! Try to get a good one before you leave!!

 

It is fun to get an 'up-do' on formal night tho!

 

Have fun and happy sailing!!

25 for a regular manicure and 45 for the full arm exfoliation included. Specify which one you want at booking.

 

I thought they did a good job. I always bring my own polish to the manicurist so I can touch up any chips.

Why just ladies? Can a man get one also? I get one when derfette gets one (also a pedicure).

if you go to one of the Spa-talks (I'ts like a walk-thru) before the ship sails --- They give you like a 25 % discount once you book some treatment or so .... It's to get people interested in what they have available.

I don't know if they stll do it but if you get there early enough you can sign up to be a demonstrator for the walk through and you get a free treatment. The down side is people are watching you and you have to have whatever the treatments they are featuring. It is a good way to see what a treatment is like though. When I did it I has an isothereme (sp?) treatment and my sister had a seaweed detox. We wish we had gotten there sooner though since the other lady with us got a stone massage!

There is a Lotus Spa brochure on Princess site for the Caribbean and Sapphire. Does anyone know if these prices are the same as those aboard the rest of the fleet? Specially the Golden?

I spent 36 days aboard the Pacific Princess, so it was necessary to get my fills. They do a horrible job with acrylics, but I was stuck. Cost - $45 plus tip. A pedicure is $68. I lived w/o the pedicure. Not worth it as far as I'm concerned.

 

These are current prices; debarked the PP Sept. 22nd.

On the Coral over Christmas, I had the "Elemis Exotic Hand Ritual" which cost $45 + tip on a sea day. $40 + tip on a port day. That's what they call their spa manicure now. I agree with previous posters that it wasn't a very good manicure because the polish was chipping off in two days and I hadn't even been near a pool or a beach!

 

Didn't get a pedicure, but I have their price list and it states $61 sea day and $55 for port day.

 

DH and I had thought about getting the Stone Therapy (massage with hot stones), but the price was now $175 each! So we passed.

crisp1,

To address your question re prices, the Caribbean (and perhaps the Sapphire) spas are run directly by Princess -- but the other ships spas are run by Steiner. Since they have 2 different managers, it could be that the prices are different.

 

I don't use the spa services so cannot comment personally on the quality, but I've read many times that those using them were disappointed in their hairdos & nails. I feel they are all overpriced and are seldom as good as on land, so I take a day close to departure for pampering at my regular places. Since we've never been able to be away for more than a 15 day trip, this suffices for me.
