We only know a little English. Can we still book?

Yes. Short, simple messages are enough, and a translation app is fine for reading the replies. The reply is written in plain English and will ask a question rather than guess if something in your message is unclear.

Can we ask for a therapist who speaks our own language?

You can look for it. Each profile lists her languages, and if one of them is yours, name her in the first message. If nobody free that evening speaks it, the reply will say so and suggest someone whose English is easy to follow.

Will she explain what happens before the session starts?

Yes. She explains the format briefly before she begins and checks that both of you understand and agree. If one of you needs something repeated, ask, and she will put it more simply.

English-Speaking Couples Massage in Amsterdam Ashore

An English-speaking couples massage in Amsterdam for passengers from everywhere

Cruise ships carry passengers from many countries, and for most of them English is the language of the voyage: the announcements, the menus, the excursions. It is also the language of the booking here, and this page explains what that means for a couple whose first language is something else.

On a large ship, couples from a dozen countries sit at neighbouring tables and talk to the crew in English, even if neither partner grew up speaking it. When they come ashore in Amsterdam and look for an evening session, they want the same thing: an English-speaking couples massage in Amsterdam, booked in words they can follow and run by someone they can talk to.

The thread is in English

Every booking is arranged in writing, in English, in a single thread. That suits travellers whose English is a second language, because written messages can be read slowly, checked with a translation app and answered at your own pace. Short sentences travel well. Nobody minds a mistake in grammar, and the reply will ask if anything is unclear.

Her languages

Each profile on the roster lists the languages she speaks. All of them speak English, and many speak one or two other languages as well. If the two of you would be more at ease in another language, look for it on the profiles and name her in the first message.

What to write

Keep the first message simple: the date, the hotel, the hour in Amsterdam time, the length, and one therapist or two. Write the hour as a number with morning or evening, or in the twenty-four hour style, so it cannot be misread. The booking page lists what the message should contain.

At the door

She speaks first, briefly, to say who she is and what happens next. Before she begins she explains the format in plain words, and she checks that both of you are comfortable. If either of you does not follow something, say so; she will say it again more simply.

Words worth knowing

A few terms come up in the thread: the deposit, the balance, the arrival window, the room number. The glossary explains each one in a short paragraph, written for readers whose first language is not English.

The arrival

Once the hour is agreed she arrives forty to sixty minutes later, at any central address. The window is the same whichever language the two of you speak at home.
