Spa services at sea vs port day

[justme0729]

Do you prefer to schedule your spa services at sea or on port days if planning to stay on the ship anyways? If I want the discount for port days, can I book in advance still? Is there a DVC discount? How much is the discount?

If I were staying on the ship in port and wanted spa services during the cruise, I would definitely plan on watching for Port Day Specials. Once onboard, attend Spa Open House after Embarkation lunch. Enter the drawing for free or discounted services and ask about specials. They are often posted in the Personal Navigator.

I don’t think they are bookable online; better profit/ marketing to have people make spur of the moment decisions. Pre-planners pay full price. Someone who wasn’t sure sees the special and thinks, “why not?”

I typically don’t stay on the ship in port.

I would do a port day *unless* I was booking the couples' villa that has a sea view. Looking out at the open ocean is a lot more romantic than looking out at Ensenada ;p

Thanks for sharing. I did not realize this and we have a couples massage booked for our St Thomas Day.
