"Famed spa Canyon Ranch recently signed on with Celebrity Cruises to take over the spa spaces on their cruise ships, creating a pretty fantastic bachelorette party option. They invited me on for a stay on their boat Reflection to check it out recently, and here&amp;#x27;s what I can tell you. The spa itself is gorgeous and surprisingly huge, with tons of services to choose from, so you and your friends can basically set up camp and book massages, hairstyling sessions, scrubs, acupuncture, and manicures and pedicures and spend time in the sauna until you just can&amp;#x27;t take getting pampered anymore&amp;amp;#8212;or your budget runs out, whichever happens first. To be honest, I was completely surprised&amp;amp;#8212;I thought it would just be a couple of treatment spaces and a locker room, but it truly felt like a destination spa, thanks in part to the Persian Garden, a relaxation area with heated stone lounge chairs overlooking the ocean. As for what to do when you&amp;#x27;re not getting spa-ed up or enjoying the sights of one of your stops along the way, there are pre-wedding-friendly events right on the ship. For example, on the boat I was on, Reflection, there&amp;#x27;s a dance club with acrobats called Liquid and a burlesque/comedy show called Sin City (which is also on Celebrity Silhouette). Plus the ship itself has cute little areas for you and the crew to hang out and relax like the lawn on the upper deck, which features real grass. And if you really want to splurge, you can all chip in for the Reflection Suite, an enormous two-bedroom setup with a shower that actually hangs over the water (but don&amp;#x27;t worry&amp;amp;#8212;it fogs up for privacy when you turn it on). Oh, and there&amp;#x27;s a formal night on the boat, which my grouped deemed &amp;quot;Adult Prom.&amp;quot; Some of the women were wearing full-blown ball gowns, no lie. I&amp;#x27;d never been on a cruise before, so the whole experience was pretty eye-opening for me&amp;amp;#8212;plus, I got to visit Puerto Rico and St. Thomas for a few hours when we docked in those places, so that got to my inner travel bug. As for which destinations and the length of your cruise you choose, that&amp;#x27;s up to you and your group. Canyon Ranch SpaClub will be available fleet-wide this month (with the exception of Celebrity Xpedition), so you can pick the package that works for you. It struck me as a good option for a group that has a lot of different personalities because you can end up lounging around the boat for the &amp;quot;just need downtime&amp;quot; types or plan more adventurous excursions on land like snorkeling. Just remember to pack some Dramamine&amp;amp;#8212;no one in our party got seasick, but the rocking motion does take some getting used to. Any of you ever taken a cruise as a bachelorette before? If so, tell your fellow readers about your experience in the comments. Might help them decide if that&amp;#x27;s the answer to all their pre-wedding prayers."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
