Ahoy there, Deidre!
Welcome aboard planDisney! You're so close to setting sail, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a birthday at sea than with a relaxing massage at
Senses Spa. Talk about the royal treatment! Between the calming ocean breeze and the soothing spa vibes, your friend is in for a practically enchanted day.
Now, when it comes to paying for both massages, I’ve got a few tips to help you navigate those waters smoother than Moana on a mission. If the two massages are booked for the same time, you can simply let the incredible
Cast Members at the spa know that you'd like to charge both services to your stateroom. They'll wave their magic wand (well, more like tap your DisneyBand+ or ask for your stateroom number) and make it happen. Just be sure to factor in the automatic 18% gratuity that will be added to each service—consider it a well-earned thank-you to the spa team for making the magic happen.
If your friend’s massage is scheduled for a different time than yours, you can pop by the spa around the time of their appointment and ask for it to be charged to your stateroom instead. Even though your reservations are linked, they generally won’t let someone charge to your stateroom unless you authorized them to do so during your Online Check-In.
Another idea that’s as magical as a Genie wish?
Grab a Disney Gift Card before your cruise! You can usually find them at your local store, and sometimes even score a small discount. Your friend can then use it onboard for the massage—or maybe for a little souvenir shopping or a sweet treat at
Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats (depending on your ship). It’s a flexible option with a dash of pixie dust.
And since we’re talking birthdays, let me pass along a fun idea from my own sailing adventures! I like to ask our dining team to surprise our table with a bottle of Cloudem Blue—it's a non-alcoholic drink that sparkles like Elsa’s ice palace and tastes a bit like apple juice with a twist. It’s beautiful, fun, and totally photo-worthy. Just make sure to give it a good shake before opening!
I hope this helps you chart a smooth course for your onboard celebration. Your friend is lucky to have someone so thoughtful on board, and with a little planning and a lot of magic, this birthday is sure to be one for the memory books.
Sea ya real soon with a splash of April fun and a boatload of Disney magic,
Dustin
