Butler-Drawn Baths - Wowza!!!

[Demonyte]

While we all scoff at this, im sure it wouldnt phase the fools paying $9,000 per person for the garden villa.....

 

Well for us when booking a suite, we usually get at least $300 or $450 OBC from NCL and more from TA. For a special occasion, I wouldn't mind spending part of that OBC to a $99 bath as a treat to my GF - it's quite comparable with most spa treatments onboard (and I lose more than that in the casino daily). For each their own.

 

P.S. Not all pay $9000pp to sail in Garden Villa, we are booked in one for a spring repo with two other couples and we pay less per person than it would cost to book two DOSs (that would hold all six of us) and we get a lot more space inside (at least normal PH bedroom plus bath for every couple) plus two private outside areas that are completely missing from DOSs. While you might not pay big $$$ for GV, no need for name calling to those that do. ;)

I'm offering a special service for cruise critic members. If you book me in a suite on your cruise, I will personally prepare you baths whenever you want free of charge. I will also personally serve you some of the orange juice concentrate from the buffet to enjoy while soaking.

 

I will also provide BL wings and a bottle of Chianti

The only way i'd pay $500 for a bath is if it came with 2 twenty year old Russian blondes w/ broken English sitting in the tub waiting for me both wearing a CCCP hat armed w/ Super Soakers

 

Damn I miss Kelava & Olga :(

[kcwingwalker]

$499 for a bath:eek:

 

Would love to see the link for this info

 

I did find the link the this and another was provided by another poster......thanks!

 

But just to be clear I was not implying that the OP was a troll. My apologies to OP if there was any misunderstanding.

Is Stoli made by the government and not a private company or something?

 

That's the problem with most "publicized" boycotts, they are usually mistargeted. If you don't like something don't buy it. Must some feel the need to foist their misguided boycotts on everyone else. If you don't follow like a lemming you are somehow evil.

Ok, I am a bit confused. I assume you have to be in a room with a tub? The mini suite tubs are very small and not much luxury. It this something that happens in the spa?

Or is this only a service for the high end suites that have tubs?

 

$500 for fish eggs and champagne and bubbles? Maybe not. BUT, IF you roll in a TV, pipe in an NFL playoff game and feed me wings, pizza and beer... I WILL think about it ;)

 

I was in a DOs on the Dawn last April. There was a flatscreen in the bathroom, mounted over the tub. The butler offered to draw a bath for me, but I am a shower person.

We haven't agreed since you had your other banned alias, but me getting upset that people are being beaten & killed with government sanction is not something which merits getting personal about.

 

I spend a LOT of money with NCL (probably much more than most, given my casino losses), and asking them to NOT subsidize atrocity should be WELL within my rights.

 

And that's what I'm doing. They seem to ignore personal emails, so I'm doing it here, in context.

 

 

Now they now why I won't buy this service..

 

While you have every right to ask NCL to not subidize what Russia is doing, I think your boycott on Stoli is midirected. As noted in the linked article, Stolichnaya is produced in Latvia.

Boycotts can be a good idea, but generally only work with the boycotted company has pull with the government causing the problem.

Didn't see one for $500. What did I miss?

Last paragraph before the additional options

 

"For $499, guests will bask in the French verbena bubbles that surround them, as they block out the world with their eye mask while sipping on a glass of chilled Dom Perignon champagne, poured from the bottle that sits beside them. In addition, guests who indulge in the Mediterranean Soak will enjoy feasting on sturgeon caviar."

 

I was actually curious on that one, how one would "pour from the bottle that sits beside them" while wearing a mask. Unless the butler hangs around to pour it :eek: :D

Name calling is not allowed on this board. And it is not nice.

I'm going to stop commenting on this topic after this post, but here's the problem:

 

http://www.queerty.com/read-an-open-letter-from-stoli-premium-vodkas-ceo-to-the-lgbt-community-20130726/

 

Quoting from that article: "Stoli is made from Russian ingredients (wheat, rye and raw alcohol)" And who owns Russia's wheat, & rye production? In some cases...the State (The share of state-owned agricultural land decreased from 100% in 1990 to less than 40% in 2000. ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Russia

 

 

 

And the owner of SPI, who still lives in Russia (unlike Sergei Brin), and pays taxes there....

 

 

 

That's why I protest them. And, for what it's worth...Ketel 1 is just a nicer vodka, so it's not a huge loss.

I took it to mean you are wearing the mask so you cannot see the faces your butler is making while pouring your bubbly...

 

I really don't want some stranger seeing me in a bath and rubbing my back! EEK!

How are the butler's being "certified"? and for the $99 Mexican Riviera package, does it include the scrubbing service? ;):p;)

Norwegian Launches Butler-Drawn Bath Menu

 

on 12 December 2013.

Norwegian Cruise Line has added another element of luxury to the line’s array of exclusive suite amenities by introducing a new, first of its kind in the cruise industry “Bath Butler” menu, offering guests the opportunity to pamper themselves with one of the line’s signature baths, which are drawn by the suite guest’s dedicated certified butler.

The butler baths are listed on an in-suite menu and available in all suites fleet wide, including those in the Haven by Norwegian, the line’s exclusive ship-within-in-a-ship suite complex.

“Norwegian’s suites offer a level of service and array of exclusive amenities that can only be found in five and six star land-based resorts,” said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line’s chief executive officer.

“With the introduction of our Bath Butler Menu, we are taking luxury to the next level and know that our guests will love pampering themselves with one of these specially designed baths drawn by our certified butlers.”

Norwegian’s Bath Butler Menu features seven different luxury bath packages, each inspired by one of Norwegian’s spectacular destinations. Every package also includes a tasty treat and refreshing beverage selection. Many of Norwegian’s suite bath tubs also have views of the ocean for an even more luxurious experience.

For those guests wanting the ultimate in pampering, Norwegian’s signature drawn bath is the unparalleled Mediterranean Soak. For $499, guests will bask in the French verbena bubbles that surround them, as they block out the world with their eye mask while sipping on a glass of chilled Dom Perignon champagne, poured from the bottle that sits beside them. In addition, guests who indulge in the Mediterranean Soak will enjoy feasting on sturgeon caviar.

Additional Bath Menu options include:

Mexican Riviera Retreat, $99: Guests can ease into a siesta with a lime exfoliating body scrub with loofah. Then enjoy the perfect nightcap of a freshly made, all natural margarita with 100% agave tequila, premium triple orange liqueur and fresh squeezed limes.

 

Caribbean Calm, $99: Guests will feel like they are in the tropics while enjoying a passion fruit bath gel with exfoliator gloves, topped off with a hand-muddled Mojito prepared with Bacardi Superior, fresh mint and hand pressed limes.

 

Hawaiian Bloom, $99: Aloha! Guests will find their own tropical paradise by slipping into a plumeria milk bath with floating flowers and be treated to a coconut kiwi pineapple splash prepared with Bacardi Rock Coconut, pineapple juice, lemon lime soda with chunks of fresh pineapple and kiwi.

 

Alaskan Plunge, $99: Guests will experience refreshing relaxation with pine bath salts and a back scratcher. After soaking, guests can enjoy a cold pitcher of strawberry lemonade with Stolichnaya vodka, fresh strawberries and hand pressed lemons.

 

Great Island Oasis, $99: Guests will find they are in their own private oasis as they slip into a seaweed eucalyptus bath, complete with bath pillow and passion punch made with passion fruit liqueur, vodka, fresh fruit juices and sparkling wine.

 

Wonder waterfall, $49: Bath time should be fun time for the kids. The perfect time for kids to splash around with kiwi fruit berry bath bombs. Then treat them to a yummy kid-friendly strawberry and banana smoothie.

 

The drinks sure look yummy! Wonder if they can be ordered from the bar ? Will be GREAT if available.

I have another one.. In the movie Coming to America with Eddie Murphy the Royal Bathers exclaimed "The Royal P**** is clean"

[stoneman56]

Just ask your butler to bring up a bottle of Champagne and some nibbles, put them next to the bath, then get him to run your bath and leave. Cost? Price of the bubbly.;)
