Robes in cabin

How do you get a robe put in your. Do you ask your room stewart or are they put in automacticly. I am running out of room in my suitcase don't want to bring mine if I don't have to. I still don't have a cabin hopefully I won't have to sleep in a lifeboat.

On your next cruise you can request it in the personalizer. This time ask your cabin steward. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Sue's absolutely right..in a perfect world, they would take your info from the Personalizer. But I've heard fo some folks who had requested robes via the Personalizer not have them so they just asked their room steward..no muss, no fuss....defeintely do not pack one! http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Enjoy your upcoming cruise!

[H20 Lover]

Yep, on the cruise personalizer, my husband put my 40th bday celebration and also requested robes and all kinds of other requests, didn't get any of it. Except on the very last night, they sang to me in the dining room, said they had just received a note in their box or something. Didn't get any balloons or nothing like I saw everyone else have on their doors http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif.

So, don't rely on the personalizer. And yes, your steward will get ya robes, which were so nice to have.

We entered on the personalizer that we would like robs and we did't get them. Shortly after we boarded the ship and were checking out our cabin, our cabin attendant knocked at our door to introduce herself and welcomed us back. We asked her, when she got time (we knew that boarding day is a very busy time for them) if we could get robes and a fruit basket. She was wonderful, had both in our room by the time we came back from embark buffet and short tour of the ship.

Always measure twice and cut once, put it in personalizer, then ask the steward if it isn't there, near as I can tell the personalizer is like the just-for-show thermostat, lets us feel involved but isn't really attached to anything.

Robes and a fruit basket? was the fruit through room service, or the room stewart? Was there a fee for that?

It is on the personalizer and yu can order whatever fruit you like, no charge. I have learned today that you cannot count on the personalizer!! Ask you cabin steward and he will bring the fruits you like, and replenish each day. you can find the fruits offered on the personalizer. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

We prefered our fruit in pillow chocolate guise. Something about healthy food and the cabin that don't mix.

Our Paul gave us a card each night along w/ the room service card that we could fill out. They would replenish at your request. We didn't get fruit though cuz we were constantly eating everywhere else. Hee hee.

minnjudy Fruit basket was ordered through room steward, there was no charge for it. I guess I really shouldn't use the term basket. Our fruit arrived in a nice shiny bowl accompanied by a knife for cutting the fruit. At the first night turndown service, we found a card on our bed (along with our chocolates) that could be used to replenish our fruit if we desired. All we had to do was check the type of fruit we wanted replenished and it was delivered the next day. My husband is a real fruit person and enjoyed this aspect of the cruise very much.

I am so glad we are back to Princess again (Robes, chocolate http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif and fruit--ours, mine and his, in that order.)......Plus inside muster.

Chocolate--mine, mine and mine. Down with healthy fruit and up with gooey, fattening chocolate, especially with nuts. Yummy, yummy in my tummy.

Are you guys getting waffle robes or plush robes?

[sue d. miller]

Waffle in the cabins. To buy, the plush.

What's the difference between the 2 robes?

Lynda

[sue d. miller]

If you request robes for the week, they are lightweight, and they pick them up the last nite. If you dont return them, you will be charged a certain amt. You can also purchase robes in the gift section that are plush, and are, I believe $99.00

What is the difference between a waffle robe and a plush robe?

Thanks,
Lynda

[sue d. miller]

Waffle weave or very light weight terry cloth is not very water absorbent, and basically a cover up. Plush terry is heavy and very thick and water absorbent. One is cheap and one rich. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Chris - talk about confused - http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif you did clear up the differences in the robes - great pic's. Still curious about shampoo in minisuites - we are booked in D728 - July 3, 2004 - want to know is the shampoo in dispensers on the wall in the shower or in little bottles. Plus I'm hearing different things about there being an arcade on the ship. I really enjoy reading what you always have to say - very informative..enjoy your cruise.......thanks again..NancyK http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Lynda90]

Thank you, Chris! I think the plush robe will be just perfect for the balcony going through Alaska. Especially with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Or a very steamy cup of coffee in the morning.

Lynda

[CruiseFever]

I can only speak of the Golden mini-suite we were in but the shampoo came in little bottles on day one and was replaced by shampoo in little packets after that.

When I was in a mini-suite on the Star, we were given little cardboard box type packets. Not very classy but they were adequate.

[sue d. miller]

Roe, when you go into your booking, to the left is a list. Choose the onboard preferences. It has the robes and fruit choices among other http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gifs.

I guess we lucked out somehow. We had plush robes in our balcony cabin. Guess they ran out of waffle robes. The robe was so heavy that when I put it on, I felt like a big bear. http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[H20 Lover]

I wouldn't trust the Cruise Personalizer. Everything I put in it wasn't even acknowledged. For the robe, just ask your cabin steward when you meet him/her.

We also got the plush robes when we sailed last year. Do you have a choice when you ask you cabin steward to bring one? Loved the plush ones.

Chris,

You do come up with the most amazing stuff!

Are the plush robes large enough to go around a rather "plus sized" person. My travel companion is rather large and as I remember, the waffle robe fit more like a hospital gown (never quite made it completely around).

Thanks,
Lynda

We also received the plush type robes on both Princess cruises. They do fit the plus sized person nicely.

[joyus]

Those of you who requested plushed robes and got them at no extra charge - was that depended on the type of cabin you booked? We have a balcony on the Diamond. Do you think we can request plush or is that reserved for mini-suite and above?

[verwirrt]

We were om a balcony cabin and got the plush robes. I'm sure the cabin type doesn't matter. I'm just going to make sure I ask for the plush ones.

[A.Emgee]

Last summer we were in a minisuite and got the waffle robes. Previous cruises we got the plush robes. I think you have to ask for them now.
