Rouque Posted April 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2023 In the app, I see a spa activity called 'Massage Tasters'; does anyone have experience with this? Is is just a hard sell on booking a full massage? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolloman Posted April 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) You sit in a chair and they massage your shoulders for about 5 minutes. They tell you how tense you are and advise you to book a full massage with them immediately.

fpcruiser Posted April 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2023 the lady gave me a short sample (1 minute) of each of the kinds of massages they offer. She asked me if I wanted to book but it wasn't a hard sell, I would do it again, This was on Enchantment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both times the lines to get a short were massive so I gave it a pass. Your experience might be different on Enchantment but it seems dumb do stand and wait in line for 30 minutes for a 5 minute massage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouque Posted April 19, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) thanks to everyone for all the laughs 😜 If I don't get my taster on the ship, I could always just get one from the TSA. Edited April 19, 2023 by Rouque 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDawg Posted April 19, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 19, 2023 That name is gross. I'd 'try-out' a few different massage types. I'd 'taste' a flight of beer. I'd go to a wine 'tasting'. But there's no way I'd want to 'taste' a massage. Good Lord, I hope a foot massage isn't included in the 'tasting'! 🤢 🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
