Whenever I encounter spa employees on embarkation day trying to entice me to “pamper” myself by signing up for one of their (as we’ve already established) overpriced treatments, I always smile and politely say, “just point me in the direction of unlimited dessert and a padded lounger in the shade with a view of the ocean and I’ll consider myself good and pampered.” Which is to say that there are so many complimentary ways to relax and pamper yourself on a cruise.īy my way of thinking (sometimes referred to as “warped,” but I’ll let you be the judge), it makes more sense to save your spa money for when you’re home.

How much do spa services cost on a cruise?Īnd, FYI, here’s a price list I collected on my last NCL cruise to give you an idea of what different treatments and services cost (these will vary some by cruise line): Ask for recommendations of places in advance (Facebook and Cruise Critic groups are great for that). It was fabulous and my money went to the local economy. For example, I once booked a hour-long massage at the Sand Bar in Cabo (outside, with the sounds of the ocean in the background) for $36. And on the higher end cruise lines, it’s even more.Įxtra Credit Pro-Tip: If you enjoy getting a massage or other spa/salon treatment on vacation, consider doing it in port as opposed to on the ship. Whereas a 50 minute massage at NCL’s Mandara Spa will run you $149 to $179.

Even in my home port of Seattle where a Big Mac will run you $42 and a gallon of gas will drain your teenager’s college fund faster than if you just handed said teenager your credit card and dropped her off at the mall, you can treat yourself to an hour long massage at a neighborhood spa for around $100. You’ll pay a premium for most spa and salon services on a cruise ship.
