Celebrity Cruises, acknowledging the popularity of spas and fitness facilities, has been improving its offerings. Spa/fitness programs are staffed and operated by Steiner Leisure, a specialist concession, whose staff, who have sales targets as well as enthusiasm, will try to sell you Steiner’s own-brand beauty products. Some fitness classes are free; others, such as yoga, and kickboxing, cost $10 per class. Being aboard will give you an opportunity to try some of the more exotic massages.
Massage (including exotic massages such as Aroma Stone massage, Chakra Balancing massage and other well-being massages), facials, pedicures, and beauty salon treatments cost extra. Examples: massage at $120 (50 minutes), facial at $120, seaweed wrap (75 minutes) $190 – to which you need to add a gratuity of 10 percent. Personal training sessions in the gymnasium cost $83 for one hour.
