Couples Massage- Coral

[Phishinyem]

Hi All,

I saw that someone had a question and posted a link about the couples massage at Lotus spa the other day, but it's no longer working. I can't find any info on the couples massage options (What they are, prices, times, etc.). Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks!

[Phishinyem]

just wanted to get this thread up to page one for Sunday in case anyone has any ideas!

I too would like some inforamtion on this, we are thinking of getting a couples massage on the Coral. Are you in the same room and how was it? What are the prices? Thanks

What should I Derfette and I wear or not wear durning our massage, If we do it on Formal night do we have to wear a tux and a gown. Or Derfette just peals and me just a tie.

I don't recall the price and I don't have a pricing list handy but when I tour the spa last year on Coral, they showed us the room for couples massage. it was 2 tables side by side and you have your massages with 2 different therapists but happening at the same time. There is also a tub for two that you can use after the massage and the therapists have left you on your own.

 

This is different than the Rasul treatment that you may have read about. That is also for couples but there is no therapist involved. It's just you and your partner in a room to do what you will to each other ;) Within the room there is a shower for two and steam room and they give you all sorts of scrubs and creams and muds to play with.

I (we) did a couples massage on the Coral Last month. We did it on a port day so the price was just slightly higher that 2 individual massages when not in port. We received a massage for about 40 minutes (we each had our own person) and then they left us in the room for 45 minutes. There was a huge two person bathtub that they had filled for us and a beautiful view out the one way glass. I had preordered a bottle of champagne and after the massage we soaked, drank the champagne, then went out to the locker rooms and showered.

 

I wish I could remember the exact price, but I felt it was a worthwhile value. It was extremely relaxing, very sensual, yet not sexual (that was later :) ). It was one of the best things we have done for ourselves. It was a very different, yet wonderful, out of the ordinary experience.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Also, we would go to the Spa early, on port days, and get special specials depending on what was booked that day etc. There is some room for negotiation depending on how booked they were. Since we would be totally flexible about the time, even missing a dinner for a couples manicure, foot ankle, and calf massage because we got it for about 60% of the regular price.

So talk to the Spa desk and see what you can negotiate. I forget the managers name but she was very flexible. After all, any sales during non booked time is more money for the Spa etc.

 

They had a special on port days for 61$ you could pick three items, a maicure, shoulder-head massaqge, foot-ankle-calf massage, a men's shampoo and haircut, a womans cut and trim. So get to the Spa early and see whaat you can do.

 

Enjoy your cruises, the Coral is wonderful. A 10 day cruise is so much better that a 7 day.

We received a massage for about 40 minutes (we each had our own person)

 

Now for the question we all want an answer for

 

What did you (or not) wear for the message?

[mbw1024]

It's a very discreet process. the therapist will take you to the room and then allow you private time to undress and position yourself comfortably on the table. you are fully covered except for the part of the body she is working on, so for instance she will uncover one leg at a time, etc.

Thank you so much!! Does anyone know the prices (even estimated?) for single and couples massage? How much does it go down during port days? We are not doing an excursion in colon, so that might be a good day to go!

I just called the Lotus spa (princess connected me) and was quoted for rates on the grand princess but she said they might not be the same for the coral. The couples massage was $276 while in port, and $326 on sea days! way more than I thought it was going to be!!!

Thanks Misty (my name is Misty too!! how funny!). That's a little better. This was going to be a gift for my mom.. and if it was going to be upwards of $300 I might get her jewelry instead!

[Phishinyem]

One more quik question- where did you find that description? Thanks!

[Phishinyem]

found this today- prices are for the diamond. It was on a review board.. was helpful to me and might be to some of you!

 

Lotus Spa

The spa on the Diamond is big and fabulous. I’ve never seen a nicer one. There is lots of Asian-style décor, and more types of steam showers and saunas than I’ve ever seen! They also have some hot stone beds (in a curved recliner shape) that you can relax on before a treatment. I heard great things about them.

 

The only drawback is that the spa is directly below “Center Court”, so you might hear a basketball bouncing the whole time you are doing your relaxing treatment. Very strange. I don’t recall having this problem on other Grand-class cruises, but maybe no one was playing at the time. They certainly had the spa and Center Court in the same place.??!

I personally did the Oxygen Lifting Facial on this cruise, as when I am pressed for time or money that’s what I like best. On other ships I’ve raved about the Frangipani Scalp Massage, but didn’t try it on this ship. My friend did and said it was great. My husband and I have tried the “Rasul” couples thing on another ship, and I would say to save your money. There is no need to pay $75 for you to slap gook on each other, sit in a steam room, and shower it off. ;)

Phishinyem just a off subject question since your name is Misty also I have met a few misty's and only 1 out of the few had a diffrent middle name I was wondering what yours was mine is Dawn

[Phishinyem]

mine's Jean- I've met 1 other misty and her middle name was Dawn. She lived in Maine. How funny!

[Phishinyem]

In case anyone's still wondering- I did go to the spa on the cruise. I got the "Spa taster"- $89 andit's 1/2 hour massage, 1/2 hour facial. It was excellent. Couple's massages were $240 on port days, and I think about 35 dollars more at sea. The people in the spa (especially emilie who did my treatment) were top notch!
