Spa opinions

Hey all

We are headed on the Wonder to Alaska in a few weeks - it’s our honeymoon and first ever cruise.
When our booking window opened I snagged myself a 50 min massage appointment for one of our sea days. With the exception of getting married 2026 has been ROUGH and I thought it would be a nice little treat for me.
As we get closer though, I’m wondering if it’s actually worth the price. For reference, the last time I got a massage was a nice place in our home city and was probably about 70% of the price Senses charges.
Has anyone had a massage on the wonder and loved it? I know they tend to try and upsell and am prepared for that, outside of that aspect was the massage itself really good?

Thank youuuu!

Personally, I don't think it's worth it. It's LOVELY but so pricey. I'd rather get a massage at a great place locally for a fraction of the price and put that money towards something else on board -- dining, merch, excursions, etc. Just my thoughts

Congratulations! The upsells with Senses tend to be pretty strong...they push pretty hard. That said, this is a very special occasion and if it is important to you to treat yourself a bit, you should seriously consider the massage. I tend to let my wife get a treatment on cruises, but do not go myself. That's my compromise!

I have enjoyed my massages on Disney cruises but I haven't done one lately because they are expensive. The question is, would you likely treat yourself to a massage on land? If so, then do that, and use the savings for something else on board. However, if you need a treat and don't think you'll do it without the cruise, then go for it.

Another option, if you're into that sort of thing, is to get a manicure and/or pedicure. That is also more expensive than a comparable treatment on land, but the total cost is less and you get to sit in a massage chair (which, for me, almost justifies the additional cost).
