zitsky Posted August 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I see they are now charging different prices for different times of day. It's now about $210 for a 50 minute massage, including gratuities. It was advertised as a $140 massage which became $210 after new pricing and gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basenji56 Posted August 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yet another reason I have been sailing more on new Royal ships. I booked a massage on Allure for $140 including the mandatory tip. Still expensive but not grossly so. Prices do vary depending on the time and whether it is a port or a sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The prices are lower on port days and on off peak hours. The prices also vary by length of massage. On our upcoming cruise 50 minute deep tissue massage (Off Peak Hours) is $142.99 the 100 minute deep tissue massage not Off Peak is $239. That’s not usual.

Whinenowine Posted August 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Yeah they really want you to book their services during non-peak times, hence the discounts. For massages I've found that the 75 minute session is the best bang for your buck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted August 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) I seem to have difficulty getting my tier percentage off. I do book before I get onboard, but why should I have to go to Guest Services for my discount? This time, I will try to get all my discounts when I first board. If someone has a system that works, please share...thanks! Edited August 4, 2022 by Lastdance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted August 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 4, 2022 We look for port pricing..esp b/c we stay on board for at least one port day. The new grat is annoying but if I go no.one will get anything extra or a product sale! I think E Class has diff provider that other ships which may have Canyin Ranch..they are bad. Not sure..have not cruised since Covid. Not sure I will book spa services anymore post Covid but will seek best price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 4, 2022 There has been a gratuity added to spa services for as long as we have been cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me I see $140 as the base price. X chooses to change it based on time. So it becomes $175. Then add tip to make it $210. How much extra do people give for a massage on top of those prices? 30% 40%??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t speak for others but unless it is exceptional and they listen when I tell them at the start “I don’t want to buy any product so please no selling” then no extra over the 18%.

Rare keesar Posted August 5, 2022 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2022 When we first get on board, they have offered 5-10 minutes complimentary neck and shoulder massages. Afterwards, it was a time to make a deal. Of course, they steer to the down times but the savings can be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
