I did the updo thing a couple of cruises ago. I took a rhinestone barrette because I had read here that the barrettes in the spa cost $40!! It was just an $8 barrette! The lady asked me what I wanted, but I didn't have anything specific in mind, so she just did something. It turned out very nice. So it sounds like if you have something specific in mind, they will do that for you. They will supply the pins.
