Sidetracker Posted December 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I read that the spa on NCL has a "tan" treatment. They do all these nice things to your skin and then apply an "instant" tan. Your tan is complete in three hours. Has anyone out there tried this? Do you really come out with a nice tan or are you orange and streaked :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfamily Posted December 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I know the sun worshippers treatment which is what I think you are referring to is no longer available on the jewel, it might depend on what ship you are sailing on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyroot Posted December 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2007 can't vouch for NCL, but had this done on a celebrity cruise and it was pretty much a waste of money. They buffed your skin to remove all the dry spots and make the skin more receptive to the sunless lotion. Then they put on the sunless lotion. I wound up with darker spots on my elbows and really didn't look tan at all. Save the money and just wear sunscreen and get your tan "naturally".

Sidetracker Posted December 16, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Thanks for the info. It sounded to good to be true. Maybe a tanning booth be for the cruise. Have done that before and it worked pretty well. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenMF Posted December 16, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I had that treatment once - can't remember which ship - and while I did not have darker spots anywhere, I also had no noticeable color change AT ALL. The treatment was relaxing, but no noticeable tan afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulgargirl Posted December 16, 2007 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2007 They didn't offer it on my last cruise on the star. They didn't offer half the things that are shown on their on line menu though, come to think of it. I really wanted to try it to as my poor Irish skin cancer prone skin isn't up to any other type of tan. And I got tired of blinding the poor kids with the glare off my legs!

lemandluap Posted December 16, 2007 #7 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I did not get this done on board; but I did get it done before my cruise - it sucked. I ended up blotchy and skreaked with orange and brown. it sucked. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
