⭐ What NOT to Do at the Lotus Spa
Don’t treat The Enclave like your personal office Yes… I’ve seen someone take over two heated loungers to run a full business meeting on her laptop. The spa is for relaxing — not Zoom calls.
Don’t save chairs It’s rude, it stresses everyone out, and it’s against spa etiquette. I once had someone tell me I “couldn’t sit there” because they were “saving it”… and the person never showed. Yep, I noticed.
Don’t play music or videos without headphones No one wants to hear your playlist, your TikTok feed, or your FaceTime call. The spa is meant to be quiet — bring earbuds if you need sound.
Don’t show up right at your appointment time You’ll feel rushed and miss out on the relaxation room. Arrive 20–30 minutes early.
Don’t feel pressured to buy products Upsells are common. I usually say, “I’m carry‑on only and don’t have room for products,” and they drop it immediately.
Don’t assume your ship has The Enclave Not all Princess ships have it — check your ship class before sailing.
Don’t expect kids to join you The spa is 18+. Teens can use the salon, but not The Enclave.
