If you love cruises or even if it is your first time being a cruiser, you cannot discount the deals that one can get by being patient. Patience is hard to come by for some, but if you want some of the most amazing cruise deals to be found you will want to try your hardest to have at least enough patience to visit a few websites that offer these amazing last minute deals.  To find 2013 last minute cruises you need a lot of patience to wait until close to your desired dates, but after that it is a breeze if you visit a website who specializes in cruise deals so you can snag your last minute cruise deal with confidence!

A cousin of mine just got back from an Alaskan cruise and her photos are amazing.  I have been on two Caribbean cruises, most recently The Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas.  While there you know I had to visit the spa while at sea.  Something about being at sea makes one want to relax and what better way than in a spa.  Be sure to make yourself an appointment before you debark and also catch yourself a second appointment when they offer specials during your cruise.

The Vitality Spa on Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Sea has a very extensive menu with everything from a basic massage to Botox treatments. Don’t worry they have a doctor on board that is certified in the procedure and is very available throughout the cruise for any questions you may have about this type of medical spa treatment.

The spa also has a thermal suite.  A pass to this suite can be purchased individually.  I guess the biggest surprise I had on the cruise was that the purchase of a spa treatment did not allow you time in the sauna area (aka thermal suite).

Romantics will not be left out here.  There are a few couples suites that will delight. Take a look at two different types of couples suites below in my photos.

Your biggest take away about cruising and visiting the spa should be that spa treatments are deeply discounted on port days when the ship had been vacated by everyone enjoying their land excursions.  If you are really looking for a deal (for a cruise spa treatment) this is the time to hit the spa on a cruise.

So if the time has come for you to cruise, make sure to get a last minute cruise deal!
