RoyalFan2011 Posted November 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Is is cheaper to buy a massage before the cruise or when on board? I believe the pre-cruise prices are less, but not sure if the daily specials would be better. Also curious if we booked ahead of time, would we still get our diamond+ discount? Thanks for your advice in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the balcony discount, all other C&A perks are usually only applied on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted November 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2022 When viewing prices on cruise planner they will vary based on day and time. Diamond discount only applied onboard. I have been on a couple cruises this year and haven't seen any specials other than last winter when ships were 30 to 50% capacity. IMO, spa prices went up a lot this year.

Rare jean87510 Posted November 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I was just on the Allure and did prebook a pedicure as we were traveling around Florida 7 days prior. While in the spa, I mentioned a massage so my tech booked it for me for the next day. I checked the price afterwards. $189 for a deep tissue 50 minute massage that was not including tip or diamond discount. I ended up getting one in Costa Maya at Hayhu for $40. I get massages and reflexology at home 1x/month so I am familiar with pricing and a good masseuse. There is no way I'd pay that much for 50 minutes. Maybe for a 50 minute facial plus a massage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkanoo Beach, Nassau Bahamas, very professional 90-minute massages for my wife and I for much less than the cruise spa prices. Not as cheap as $40 but easily 1/2 of the price of on-board including tips. You will need reservations on cruise days. I would reserve at least two months ahead during the busiest seasons when multiple ships are docking simultaneously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
