No direct experience myself, but Matt - in his podcasts - suggests that you can get a good bargain on port days. It also doesn't hurt to ask in advance what deals are coming up.

KLA Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I've also seen you can get better deals if you pre-book for one on Embarkation day, or if you pre-book an "early morning" appointment (at like, 8 AM). Looking at booking a 8 AM treatment for my upcoming cruise on Allure... Order coffee to the room at 7 AM to wake up slowly, and then just wander down to the spa!

tiny260 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 If you pre-book when they have specials running, like they just had, but I believe the offer has expired, you would have seen it on your cruise planner page, then it seems beneficial to pre-book them. Also on embarkation day, if you go to the spa they will be offering specials, if you book a treatment on port days they should be cheaper, sea days are not, because that is when they have the highest demand.

cruise-y Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 If you really want to make sure you get a spot on a sea day, I'd book in advance. Yes, you may miss out on deals but the one time I tried to book onboard, every sea day spot was long taken. As others have mentioned, you can usually get a slot on a port day or on embarkation day, but I don't want services at those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have something in mind - pre-book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBRSKI Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Can someone please help me out on this question which has been asked before with not much feedback. Going on Harmony in two weeks and the wife and I want to hit the spa on either the day we are in Nassau or St Thomas. Currently the price is 99 not including 18% grat. Do certain C&A members get discounts on spa services? Should I just book the 99 rate and if a discount is offered on board will they give me the better price?

WAAAYTOOO Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I don't believe that C&A members get any discounts for spa services. None that come to mind, anyway. If you are planning on doing a spa service on a port day, I recommend waiting until you get onboard. There is almost always a port day discount for spa services. There is no reason why you shouldn't book the spa service now and if you find that you can get a port day discount (or a C&A discount) onboard, you can always cancel the one you prebooked and rebook once onboard. Nothing to lose there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I seem to remember a discount at the spa for C&A members. This is from last year, but I believe I had the same discounts available on the Allure at the beginning of the year: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/category/category/crown-and-anchor RBRSKI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&A members do get a discount, but it has to be on a service that isn't already on sale. I know this because my wife gets something done every sailing.
