Massage shop in NOLA

[BJDownUnder]

We are taking a NCL cruise out of New Orleans, after a 25 hours travel from Australia I was hoping to book my father (78 year old) and myself a nice thai massage pre embarkation……can anyone recommend a good massage shop near the NOLA port…..something tasteful…

Sorry this won't answer your question and I'm really not trying to make fun or be rude. But a posting from "BJ""down under", looking for a 'taste-ful' massage parlor...why that's enough to awaken the giggly teenager in anybody...

[BJDownUnder]

yes.......I didn't really think through my choice of forum handle....

What hotel are you staying at?

 

Most of the big hotels have a spa. I am also guessing there are a number of "extra service" massage places around there someplace which you probably do not want to stumble into.

thanks for tip....I will see what our hotel can provide...the Australian Dollar has tanked recently so I was hoping to find a cost effect shop.....need to save my pennys for the on board liquor bill

If you can't find a nice spa in an upscale hotel, you could of course wait until you board, and book one for your first evening on the ship. They usually have some nice specials on that first day.

 

I do know there is a spa in the Loew's hotel on Poydras st.- they provide spa services for Harrah's casino clients and my wife has had massages there. She say's it's "ok" nothing spectacular, but good.

Craigslist will surely have lots of suggestions for either in-call or out-call. Legitimate and otherwise.

BJ-

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Yelp, but I would check them out. It's a site that consumers rate places. You can put in the city and services you're looking for. I have found some great places while on vacation through Yelp.

 

I work in rehab and IMO I find most hotel and cruise massages are just ok and definately not worth the price. I'm sure you can probably find a great little gem or maybe a therapist that will come to you in your hotel.

 

Good Luck!

I would not go to Craigslist for this type of information. If you're insistent on a massage before you board, please start with the major hotels, many of whom do have spas.
