Wife & I went on out 1st cruise in September.  We now have 2 others scheduled, both on Navigator of the Seas out of LA.

I want to surprise my wife w a massage, she has had them before & maybe me also w a massage, never had 1. What do they cost? Both individually & a couples massage? Couldn't find a number to call. Thanks

You can find spa prices by going to the Cruise Planner site. Log into Royal Caribbean's site, find your cruise, and you'll see a Spa category in the main menu with lots of options.

Prepare to be shocked. Cruise ship spa prices are ridiculous! Doesn't slow down my wife though

I've been contemplating a massage lately and so the prices are very much in my mind. The cheapest massage with gratuities is $122 for a 50 minutes swedish massage. Couples massages start at just over $220 base price. Massages are definitely cheaper on day one, and they get progressively more expensive as the cruise continues. I have noticed that they are most expensive on sea days. Hope this helps!

@jefflavey...welcome to the boards and hope you have a great cruise.   Not sure which itinerary you are on, but if you are headed to Cabo on Navigator, there are some decent and professional massage places that cost a fraction of what you get on the ship.  

If a ship massage is what you want, best to prebook or visit the spa on the first day to get best rates.

Agreed - it's not even just the price of the massages it's the upselling that comes afterwards.

They are a pricey as others stated.  Budget around $500-$600 for a couples massage depending on the length of time, services you want, etc...  My wife and I enjoy the couples massage and find it relaxing and it gives us a unique way to bond.  Generally, port days are a little cheaper than sea days.  Last time we did one was on Day 1 during the "Sail Away Party".  It was raining so the party was not what it normally is and the spa gave us a discount because it is not a popular time for massages.  Also, be warned that they will try to upsell you on spa products afterwards, and they are pricey too.

We did a couples massage on Oasis last year, it was pricey ($300) as it was a sea day but worth it. They did try to sell us some products (I actually bought one item) but they were not pushy at all.
