Dambuster Posted December 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi everyone, I was wondering if any gentlemen had used the barbering services in The Lotus Spa? Got the hankering for a possible straight razor shave, hot towels and all the works. Never used Lotus Spa on past cruises. We will be on The Ruby Princess out of LA for Hawai'i on the 9th Jan, 13 days time YAAAAYY!! thanks in advance Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKman2495 Posted December 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I've had what they called the Shave to end all shaves...it was great-but they did not use a straight razor. Lots of hot towels and a double shave out of it. Very relaxing and very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsterman63 Posted December 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Straight razors are not allowed due to "WE'RE ON A BLOODY SHIP!". Ultimate shave is quite worth the $95 though. Be prepared for the sales pitch of all the products they use on you. Actually the shave oil is worth buying. Nice facial and a scalp massage too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw.delafield Posted December 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I do this regularly on each trip, is a great way to relax every few days. No straight razors, they used a 5-blade unit on my last trip. As others have said, great facial scrub, hot towels, double shave and scalp/neck massage. Consider getting a few and take advantage of the 10/20/30% discount package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealstuber Posted December 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Straight Razor at sea???? Why not just run with scissors? Anyway DS got a great haircut for a reasonable price on CB last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eppe4 Posted December 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 29, 2015 My D/H does this on all cruises over a week. He thinks it's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted December 29, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 29, 2015 For $95 I'll do the job myself. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted December 29, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 29, 2015 95 bucks for a shave!? :eek: Come to my cabin and I'll happily do it for 1/2 the price. I used to get a straight razor shave, with hot towels and the works from a great barber for less than 20 bucks. The mark-up on spa services on-board is just ridiculous.

Eppe4 Posted December 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The services that are offered are for people who want to enhance their vacation and they can afford the price. Of course, it's not for everyone, but there are many, many people who love the extra special things offered. I always have the 1.5 hour deep tissue massage and it's amazing! We love the Chef's Table, the Specialty Restaurants, Winemakers Dinner and Vines and on warm weather cruises we love the Sanctuary. Everyone can have a wonderful cruise and not spend any extra money on board so these extra's won't take away from your experience. We think Princess has done a wonderful job, especially with the new Royal and Regal of stepping up the cruise experience with these options.
