CubanIrish Posted February 2, 2014 #103 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi all! We're sailing on the Millennium in March. Is there any news about who will be running the spa concession in March 2014? Will it be Steiner, or the new concession "owner"? CubanIrish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababooey Land Posted February 2, 2014 #104 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Celebrity hasn't announced when the transition will take place yet. I would think march is a coin flip as to which spa is on board. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermonter16 Posted February 6, 2014 #105 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I like the spa...but I hate the hard sell. I am one of those folks that will avoid it at all costs because they try so hard and then I just feel bad that I didn't buy something after the treatment, etc. and hate to have to say 'no' over and over. I just don't like it. I'm a people pleaser and it makes the whole experience 'not relaxing' to me. I haven't gone to the spa simply because of that.

akowilm Posted February 6, 2014 #107 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I sail a getaway on the Connie April 5.....and I have a bunch of spa credit that I was given as a gift.

Rare cruisestitch Posted February 6, 2014 #108 Share Posted February 6, 2014 is it specifically spa credit or is it just OBC? If the latter, you may decide it would be better spent elsewhere once you are on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Hi Akowilm, If you are not happy with the new offerings, I'd speak with Guest Relations. Perhaps they can change it to a general OBC. If it's a major concern, you may wish to contact the Gift Card dept at 800-242-6374. I'm on this sailing, so I hope to see you at the Meet & Mingle. I hope this is helpful !

kevinyork Posted February 6, 2014 #115 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Always felt stressed entering the spa/salon area with the push to book treatments. 8 cruises later, never booked one of them. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also answer the earlier question someone in this thread had: "If you've already booked an AquaSpa service for your upcoming cruise after the dates listed above, you will receive a full refund credited to the original method of payment."

While it seems almost impossible with a tight roll out like this, I get off TWO ships the day the the Canyone Ranch Spa starts. Should make for EXCELLENT spa services on those last cruises from Steiner/Elimis/AquaSpa for my cruises. Meh. Guess I'll have to wait until November to test out Canyon Ranch.

I hope this is helpful Thanks for the advice! I am sure I will be happy with either, just hope that Elemis doesn't try to deplete their supply prior to packing up...I have had great experiences in their spa, and very much look forward the new one!! I would love to finally meet the Host with the Most at the mingle, but I am on the Connie for a short reprieve before finishing out the cater season! Have a wonderful trip!!

The_Big_M Posted May 7, 2014 #120 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just back off the first Canyon Ranch spa cruise on Solstice. While I didn't try the new services, I was surprised to see that part of the agreement has been for them to turn the previously free seating area in the foyer into a shop displaying items for sale! As it had been mentioned that you didn't get the hard sell while doing the service it seemed strange that they had extra space allocated to sales. Ultimately, the service is more important, but having seen a lot of public space sadly handed over to revenue earning onboard lately, was disappointed to see yet another march along that road.

Schplinky Posted May 7, 2014 #121 Share Posted May 7, 2014 That was true with Steiner as well. On our last reflection cruise there were lots of Bliss spa products in the waiting area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiorob63 Posted May 7, 2014 #122 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just got back from the Eclipse sailing on Apr. 5. Lucky us, got the changeover week, and I'm sure that had something to do with it. My wife and I used the spa twice after it finally reopened. The treatments were ok at best, but the biggest problem was all the management confusion. No one really knew what was going on, how to schedule appointments, and the whole Persian Garden thing was a mess. The experience was neither relaxing nor enjoying. And for the record, yes, they do try to sell you products, not near as aggressive as Steiner did, but they do show you what they are using and offer the products for sale. As for prices, they are up about 25 percent from Steiners treatments. Hopefully in time they will get better, but for their first stint on Eclipse, I'd give them a " D " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classynfun1 Posted May 7, 2014 #123 Share Posted May 7, 2014 On the Century, I found them rather pushy as well. They had little tables set up in several areas (outside the buffet, outside pool area, etc) and they would try to talk you into a treatment as you walked by. For example, my mother was walking with a limp (she was two weeks away from having hip replacement surgery) and two different times a Spa person said, "You need a massage! Here is a list of how we can take care of you!" Funny thing was, she had just had a massage on one of the occasions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
