Manicure/Pedicure prices?

[gmss0205]

Does anyone know what they charge on the ship for a manicure and pedicure? Thanks!

[mrscooney]

It's 60 for a pedi.

 

And not worth a dime of it. It's better to get one before you go

[serene56]

I agree-- VERY pricey.

 

I can do a mani/pedi at home for about 25. bucks.

 

pedi alone is 60 bucks on the ship.

All salon services aboard ship are way overpriced but that doesn't deter the crowds from booking them.

Watch your FunTines for specials, too. I got a hot stone massage, facial, foot massage, full body brush exfoliation, and scalp massage for $129!

What is a fire and ice manicure/pedicure?

 

I love how they list waxing services as "Bliss Poetic Waxing Service".

 

Whoever named that has obviously never been waxed!

It's actually a brand name. The manufacturer/company is Bliss. Link

But, yes, you are right. Definitely not what I'd call Bliss. :)

a description from Seabourn (but they all use Steiner):

smoother and your nails will be nourished and polished to perfection ...................................................................... 50 minutes / 60 minutes

I get my manicure and pedicure done at home before leaving for less than half the price of the same services onboard. I have had pedicures on the ship and don't think they're anything special enough to pay the prices they ask. Nancy

Glad you asked this question as I was considering getting a pedi on Liberty next week but.... maybe considering the mark up on the prices I will just have to find the time while here at home. ;)

[CapsR1]

My one personal experience was that a pedicure was not only very expensive but nothing more than what I could get at home for half the price.

 

If for some reason the experience and service was extraordinary or differed in a positive way than most pedicures, then people wouldn't be reluctant to book them more often.

 

I think they should either lower the price or provide a service that matches the price!

Thanks for the info..

I've only been on one cruise :), so I don't know how accurate my information will be. But I had a mani/pedi before our cruise and I had chipped my fingernail polish. I hadn't brought polish remover with me to fix them myself, so I went to the spa to inquire. They offered a re-polish for $20. It was Elegant night and I was dressing up, so I wanted my nails to look nice. I have to say that I didn't see any difference in their re-polish than the manicure that I had at home. In fact it was better. Well worth the $20. (Well, $25, as I tipped $5) JMHO

[WinnipegCruiser]

I certainly agree that you should do it just before you leave,

 

If you do.... consider taking this picture with you:

An arm and a leg... they can fit more people into their schedule that way. Plus you don't have to tip quite as much. ;)

My niece and I went for mani/pedis on the Ecstasy in 2008 and it was a wonderful girlie bonding experience. It was a very high end and I thought it was well worth the money - excellent quality AND I got to spend fun time with her in a situation we would not normally get to experience together. I highly recommend it, but then I love spas. Staying in a Spa Stateroom on the Magic in January and intend on wearing out my credit card in the Cloud 9 Spa!

Does anyone know if there are certain days that are better for spa treatments, such as mani/pedi? I see that the going rate for a pedicure is about $60, with no discounts.

There are specials listed in the Fun Times some times. But, the best times are on port days. If you don't have an excursion and can either leave late or come back early, you might get a good deal.

Keep in mind this thread is approximately 2 1/2 years old ! ;) In 2012, a pedi was $65 and I'm sure it's more now. Definitely agree to get your mani/pedi done at home before boarding. So much cheaper and you'll likely be more satisfied with it. :)

I agree. I did one their special deals for a massage. My "30" minute massage lasted less than 20 minutes and was not very good. It is a good idea to get your spa services at home before you cruise.

[sjcruiser]

WOW, that price is step for a mani/pedi onboard. Thats the price of two at home.

Agree! That price I posted was just for a pedi..not both! ;)

[JennN]

Super pricey...about $100 combined and they don't last. Plus, once you are off the ship, fi you do something like gel, there is no way to guarantee it.

 

Do what I did and learn to do it yourself. Some of my samples below. It is cheaper, easy to bring in your luggage and fun to do!
