Hi all!  I keep reading all about the bad spa services on the ship and that everyone goes to get a more relaxing massage on the beach for much cheaper.  Does anyone know where I can find out more info about the massages?  Do I have to book in advance?  Does anyone know where to go?  I will be in Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman in September.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks and Happy Cruising!

I used all of the services in the ship's spa and was very satisfied. The staff was very friendly! When I had my hair done the hair stylist even did my makeup for no extra charge. Plus on the ship they have registered massage therapists which means you can claim it on your health care plan when you get home. You don't know how any syaff in other countries are certified.

I don't know about the islands you are going to, but I received a massage on Paradise Beach in Cozumel. I was very satisfied with it, she was very good.   $1 per minute.

Hello Ntoxk8n,

I just wanted to tell you how great the Spa's are on our ships. I have sailed over the last 20 years. My husband and I have totally different taste when it comes to the massages we both have always been really happy.  I have to say that Elemis has great spa prducts and I started using them after one of my cruises. There are so many different Spa treatments you can do. The staff is wonderful and to me going in the steam room after or the whirlpool and then just steps away from my cabin is wonderful.

I am not just saying this because I work for Carnival, When you board the ship and start to explore take a walk over and just tour it. I hope this helps and just wanted to share!! 

Have a wonderful cruise Vacation!
