Nymue Posted March 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Does anyone recall the price they paid for the couples Rasul Spa treatment? I just booked it on the Personalizer and the price came up at $190. My husband and I did this last spring on the CB in combination with the weeklong pass for the Thermal Suite and I seem to recall the Combo was only $210. $190 seems a bit high considering it's a 'Do It Yourself' Treatment :confused: Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceJ Posted March 27, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2008 We haven't done a Rasul treatment lately, but that price does seem high to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyguy65 Posted March 27, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2008 We were considering it also but that was the price on the personalizer($190) so I didn't book it. That seems very very high priced for what you get. It doesn't include any service such as a massage or anything. I had read on other threads it was much cheaper but we are sailing the CB in 2 weeks and thats what our price is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymue Posted March 27, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I seem to recall that when I booked it last year the price seemed very high as well. However when we got on the ship, it turned out to be half of that for the Rasul alone or about $210 for the Thermal Suite Pass w/ the Rasul included.

steveNcindy Posted March 27, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I did the same thing Nymue and cancelled it. We went to the spa once we boarded and booked the Ultimate Couples Pass. Was $195 for the week, included use of the Thermal Spa and a One hour Rasul treatment. Was well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleanor Noway Posted March 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Steve & Cindy, Yours was the first review I read on CC (newbie to the boards & reviews) and it was great!:) In fact you are the reason I booked the Rasul for our cruise 4/13/08. My question is, and has been for awhile, what is included in the Thermal Spa package, beside the 1 hour Rasul?? And was it a hassle to change from one spa treatment to the package once on board? Thanks! EN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was it a hassle to change from one spa treatment to the package once on board? Thanks for the kind words Eleanor. In the spa package, you have unlimited use of the Thermal Spa during the cruise as well as the one hour Rasul Treatment. In the Thermal Spa there is: Five warm stone loungers for you to relax on. 2 different multihead relaxation showers (one mist and one rain I believe) One "wet" sauna One "dry" sauna One aromatherapy sauna We got great use out of the pass and obviously the Rasul treatment was one of the highlights of the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaOne Posted March 28, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Two or three years ago, on the Sapphire Princess, the Rasul was only $89. At $200 or so it does seem to be awfully expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nymue Posted March 28, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted March 28, 2008 When we were on the CB last year it was no problem changing from the one booked to the Combo. They let us keep the time & date I had already booked, and just changed the price :) Steve & Cindy, And was it a hassle to change from one spa treatment to the package once on board? Thanks!

the_dylaness Posted March 29, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If the rasul is the same thing I'm thinking of (they give you lots of mud and lock you in a bathroom, essentially!), we did it a couple years ago combined with the weeklong couples thermal grotto (aka Thermal Ghetto) pass. Not happy. The rasul treatment was in a room that had obviously been recently used and not well cleaned; the shower was TINY (and we're not big people), kind of dirty, and leaked so much water through the door we had a flooded floor by the time we got out. The steam room was nice... after we spent 15 minutes getting it steamed up (literally- it took forever to heat up). I found a HAIR in the steam room and I don't mean one from your head. The thermal grotto was often very crowded and some of the herbal mist showers or whatever they're called didn't even work half the time. Often there were no clean towels to be found. Overall I was very unimpressed with what could've been wonderful! ETA: I think we paid 185 for the combo pkg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymue Posted March 31, 2008 Author #14 Share Posted March 31, 2008 WOW :eek: What ship did you do this on? Sounds far from the experience we had on the CB during Spring Break last year.
