Review summary

We both had treatments at the Spa. The service and treatments were great. But everyone at the spa tried to aggressively up sell or upgrade everything. It was quite off putting. And a simple No Thanks was followed with additional upgrade or upsell requests. It really diminished an overall great experience. The unlimited drink cards caused confusion and weren’t consistent how they were applied or what was available.

Working in sales a person knows you always ask 3 times. It is possible to ask more if you are feeling an individual will break down and buy something. They are probably paid on a commission/tip basis with very little pay which happens in sales. It can get very aggressive if needed.

Don’t go to the “free” seminars in the gym either....pressure sales...one detox package they offered was 3 x the price of our cruise....kept leaving messages in our cabin!!!

Thank you for that review! I have a massage scheduled at $150.00. I'm going to cancel it simply because I can't stand that up selling nonsense! I'm paying for relaxation not being pressured into buying stuff!
