Get ready for your cruise
Let’s face it girls, getting everything ready to travel to Miami for a cruise can wreak havoc on your beauty routine. You scrimp and save, plan and pack, and by the time you get here you’re simply exhausted! Who wants to walk into dinner on the first night of a cruise looking like a stowaway?
We’re here to help you plan a few “Me Time” minutes or a happy afternoon getting soothed and pampered for your cruise vacation. We tracked down a number of Downtown Miami spas and salons less than a mile from the Port that can help you bounce back just in time for that first Pina Colada!
It only takes a few minutes (and way less money than you might think) to look your best on the high seas!
Intercontinental Hotel - MySpa
MySpa at the Intercontinental Miami wants you to discover a luxurious world of pampering at their Downtown retreat where they’ll help reveal your “Sun Kissed Skin.” Instead of baring your pale winter whiteness to your startled shipmates, why not stop by and get a spray tan that’s safe, temporary and fast. Hit the pool deck with a summer glow all over your body, on just your face and bustline or simply give your legs a shimmer in a few minutes.
