All this and pampered too!

Just one of the things that I loved on one of our latest cruises was being treated to a trip to the amazing day spa that was on board our incredible ship!
We received a flyer in our room stating that the on board Day Spa was offering some Pampering Packages. I thought it sounded great. My sweet husband took advantage of the offer and surprised me by setting up an appointment for me to go and be pampered.( As if the cruise its self wasn't enough.)

Upon arriving to the day spa, I was given a soft white robe to change into, and then I was presented with a chilled glass of sparkling champagne. I was given some time to relax while enjoying the tastes of chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne. There was no rush to continue with the sauna. I was told to take my time. When I was ready, I could go in and enjoy the sauna for as long as I liked. I did enjoy being in the sauna. I found it to be quite relaxing. Afterward, I was able to take a shower before my massage started.

When I was already relaxed and ready, my masseuse came for me. She took me into a beautifully decorated room where peaceful quite music was being played. She then asked me a few questions about the massage I would be receiving; she offered a deep tissue massage or a relaxation massage. I choose the deep tissue massage. She told me to go ahead and get ready and she would be right back.

Within just a few minutes my massage began. At this point I was whisked away to a place of tranquil, relaxation. She used some delightful aromas to enhance the already stress free and care free environment.

The massage was unbelievable and it was an hour long. I can't express how pampered I felt. I would have to say that this was one of the most favorite surprises my husband has given me. I would encourage anyone who takes a cruise to take advantage of the special offers given by the Day Spa. It is a sure way to make the one you love feel pampered!
