Ashland Posted June 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Is it possible to have Shelac Nails done on board Regal Princess? This is a question that should be asked on the PCL board for an exact response. However if I were you I would get my "Gel" nails done before getting on board.

CaptainGoodVibes Posted June 27, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Thanks Have been reading how expensive the Spa has become. More Pestering to buy products than Pampering !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted June 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I had Shellac nails done on Diamond Princess a few months ago, so I assume this type of manicure would be offered on all Princess ships including Regal. The manicurist did a very nice job, and didn't pester me about buying products or other treatments. She asked if I wanted a pedicure but said no more about it when I declined.

CaptainGoodVibes Posted June 28, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Thanks. Could you please tell me how much they charged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted June 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Thanks. Could you please tell me how much they charged? I can, but I'm not sure how much use it will be to you as I was doing a cruise out of Australia so onboard costs were in AUD. However, if it helps, it was AU $57.75 - roughly US $42.50 at today's exchange rate, although I'm not sure what exchange rate Princess uses to determine it's Australian pricing.

CaptainGoodVibes Posted June 28, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I can, but it won't be relevant to your cruise as I was doing a cruise our of Australia so onboard costs were in AUD. However, if it helps, it was AU $57.75 - roughly US $42.50 at today's exchange rate, although I'm not sure what exchange rate Princess uses to determine it's Australian pricing. Thanks. You have been very helpful. I'm Aussie - so with the present exchangerate at about 74cents there is quite a difference. We toured USA when 1 usd = 1.05 aud. Ahhh those were the days!!!

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted June 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'm just not sure how the USD spa prices compare to the AUD prices. They aren't necessarily a direct conversion. I did some research and you can actually see what they are by making a dummy booking in the Personaliser. Go into onboard reservations, then Spa Services. Select Schedule an Appointment, pick a date then select Salon Services and select the Shellac manicure. It will then show the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted June 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I think land prices are much lower than cruise prices for such services. I get my deluxe pedi ($27) and regular mani ($10) done before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "Gel" nail cost is $25.00 at my local salon...as I recommended the OP would do much better getting it done before leaving on her cruise..... My "Gel" (that's what we call them on the west coast) nail manicure lasts usually a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted June 29, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The OP has already mentioned she is Australian so quoting US land prices aren't really relevant. Prices are higher here. Yes, getting gel nails done before your cruise is the ideal but sometimes it isn't possible. And I had a complete failure of my OPI GelCoat after only a few days on our last cruise which is why I had to have my nails redone. First time ever I've had a gel failure like that. Usually they last 3-4 weeks with minimal problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure the prices will be much higher onboard, no matter where she sails from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted June 30, 2018 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2018 It depends. It was about AU $15 higher than my beautician charges, but I was happy with that since there was no real alternative. However price isn't always the issue. If you don't have time to get your nails done before your cruise then getting them done on the ship is the best solution.
