Spa questions from newbie

[Labradorfans]

Hi, we are newbies, both to this board and to Disney Cruising. We have a cruise coming up in July on the Wonder, 4-day. We are considering the "Spa Taster" Has anyone tried that and what did you think of it? I have enjoyed all of the great information on this board as we eagerly await our cruise.

Thanks so much!

Oops! Also wanted to ask opinions about the manicure and pedicure. What do you think?

I'm new to Disney cruising as well, so I can't answer your question about the Spa Taster. But I would like to hear opinions about the manicures and pedicures as well! I'm definitely considering having the treatments on board, but it's so expensive - so I just want to make sure it's worth it!

I have not had the spa taster, but I've had many massages and facials and they were great, so I'm sure you'd love the combo!
The pedicure is very nice, too, but not much different than the ones I get at home. Personally I prefer to go for things that are exclusive to the ship, like the seaweed wrap, surial bath, and Absolute Face & Body (which also includes the facial).

I have not done the spa taster.

I have done the booster therapy, which consisted of the hydrobath and the alpha capsule. The hydrobath was horrible! The thermometer read 47 degrees celcius (which I think is about 116 degrees f). I ended up having to get out and get help at the spa front desk. I was not sunburned or anything like that, it was just too hot with water that temperature up to my chin. I also did not enjoy the alpha capsule, but they may have been because of being too hot from the hydrobath - not sure.
