First Cruise-- Spa Questions

[ChristineandLiv]

Hi! My mother in law is taking my five year old daughter and me on our first cruise (leaving on the Dream May 1st). We are super excited!

I have one question though--we each booked one spa service on the website (my MIL chose a facial, and I chose a pedicure). However, I know there is also the Salon on the ship. How do you find out what services are offered in the Salon? We've seen a couple of the navigators with some great spa specials, and they look awesome. So we are not sure if we should cancel what we have booked so far in the hopes that there may be a great special once we are on board? And, if there is a great special, do they fill up quickly?

Thanks in advance!!!

Well, you are choosing between the sure thing at a known price vs. a possibly unavailable thing at an unknown price. There is always the potential that the appointments with deals attached will be at inconvenient times, or not available by the time you book onboard.

If the price is one I could live with, I would go with the known thing. But that's me.

I haven't sailed the Dream so I can't speak to how quickly the spa will fill up.

Oh, and welcome to the boards!

Thank you!! That's kind of what we were thinking (as far as the sure thing vs. possible unavailability/inconvenient time).

And thanks for the welcome! I've been reading since January, and have gotten some great tips from this board!
