Spa Prices More Expensive Closer to Sail Date (Massages)

[cruzin4us]

I went to prebook a 75 min massage on Discovery (sail date 10/1/22) and the price was $199 for a sea day and $199 for a port day and embarkation day $199.

 

The current price of a 75 min massage on Sapphire (sail date 1/22/23) the prices are $169 for a sea day, $159 for a port day and embarkation day is $149

 

Do the prices on spa appts always go up closer to sail date?   It's not just a couple of dollars here.    Oh, there were lots of spa appts open on the Discovery, so it's not a supply/demand issue.

I would guess the spa is more expensive on Discovery.

It could be priced higher on Discovery and Sky.  However, drop by on the first day and they usually offer a discount card you can use later or will send one to your cabin if you sign up at the front desk in the spa.
They also run specials during the cruise. I always wait till OB to see what deals they offer and then sign up.

I agree that I’d guess it has more to do with the ship difference.
