texascruiser17 Posted August 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Could anyone explain to me the difference between the Fire & Ice Pedicure and the Elemis Exotic Sole Delight Foot Treatment with Pedicure? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare gotta cruise again Posted August 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I also looked at those two and wondered about them. The main thing I am concerned about is the Fire & Ice doesn't mention application of polish where the Exotic Sole states that it includes a 'pedicure', which to me means nail polish too. I'll be interested to see what others who have experienced them will say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texascruiser17 Posted August 8, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I guess no one gets pedicures, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwaukee Eight Posted August 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I guess no one gets pedicures, lol We, the SO and myself had a pedicure on Oasis. Too us, it was overpriced and they hit you hard for sales pitch. I suggest you get one prior to the cruise. I get clear on mine and it was included in Fire and Ice.

MrsPete Posted August 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I suggest you get one prior to the cruise.Yes, good advice. Why pay more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincupcake64 Posted August 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2017 My DW had a massage on a cruise. They did the high pressure sell on her too. $200 for lotion that never got used . Still had a great cruise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kknorr0320 Posted August 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I had the Fire and Ice, loves it. They do paint the nails, as for the sales pitch I said no thanks not interested and that was that.

MichaelCMTX Posted August 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2017 If the high price tag is a concern, DW always gets just a "Basic" pedi - they don't list it on the menu but it's there. Usually done on departure day to kill the time before we sail and have presentable toes for the voyage - and normally bringing her own polish from a far wider selection. Yes, it's going to cost more than the neighborhood Chop Shop if there's no offsetting OBC available, I think they offer a bit of a discount departure day and port days. You're on vacation, live a little. :halo: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaDeb Posted August 8, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yes, good advice. Why pay more? Agree, and getting a mani pedi before your leave eases you into vacation mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew2346 Posted August 9, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Fire & Ice Pedicure = extremely expensive Elemis Exotic Sole Delight Foot Treatment with Pedicure = insanely expensive HA! I was going to say basically the same thing Ripoff and bigger ripoff. I would NEVER pay those prices for a medicore mani/pedi. Our vietnamese places around here are much better and less than half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlatrice Posted August 9, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Had the Fire and Ice Mani/Pedi on my first cruise. Nothing special. Nothing I couldn't have gotten at home for half the price. They did polish my toes. But I collect (...ok...hoarde) nail polish so I brought my own. Wouldn't do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texascruiser17 Posted August 9, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think maybe I wasn't clear in my question. I am aware of the cost, my question was what was the difference (other than cost) between to the 2 types of pedicures. When I go to my local place, they have a menu that describes the different things you get for the price. The Cruise Planner has no descriptions.

payitforward Posted August 9, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I swore I would never pay that much for a pedicure. However, on one cruise, my feet were KILLING my by about the third day. I scheduled the Fire and Ice Pedicure and it was pure HEAVEN! For more than an hour she massage my aching legs and feet with a variety of scrubs and creams. Finally, she made my toes pretty. I loved it so much that I did it a second time on that cruise, and have done it on every cruise since then. I can't speak to the other one as I've never tried it.

dual Posted August 9, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Its $39 (£30) for Fire & Ice so rather expensive but its sounds likes its more than just a pedicure. Still, if my husband agrees to pay for it, I will be first in the queue! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texascruiser17 Posted August 9, 2017 Author #18 Share Posted August 9, 2017 $39? Maybe I will wait and see if I get a better deal, on my cruise it's $49 on the first day and then $70 for the remainder. I see a lot of people saying that it's not worth the cost because they can get better at home, but this is my first cruise/vacation ever, so I don't mind paying a little extra this time for the memories and experience. I just wanted to know what they do differently between the Fire and Ice and the Exotic Sole Delight so I know which one I want to choose. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps prices are low here in the South, but I can get a manicure AND pedicure here at home for $30 + tip, making $49 for just a pedicure look like highway robbery. Yeah, I understand splurging a bit on vacation, but I can think of other things upon which I'd rather spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the south also, but no where can I get a mani-pedi for $30, I could probably get the barebones mani-pedi for $40, but if I just want my nails painted, I could do that myself. I like the extras, like massage, hot towel, scrubs, lotions, wax, etc and I don't mind paying more for that. I guess if you get a mani-pedi just to get your nails done and be in-and-out, then yes, go for the cheapest, but I get a pedicure as a treat and I like to enjoy the whole experience and if it turns out to be a bad experience then i'll know, either way, I had the experience and created the memory which is the whole purpose of my trip. I never thought what I thought was an easy question would be so difficult to find an answer to, usually this board is so helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I live in a low cost of living area, but I know of at least half a dozen places in my area that offer just what you're describing for $30 + tip.

Pencruise Posted August 10, 2017 #25 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I had a Fire and Ice Pedicure this afternoon on the Jewel and it was $70, included nail polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
