Bathrobes in the Lido?

[canadagal]

We only have one cruise on Hal so far, the Noordam but we were very surprised to see several people eating in the Lido each morning for breakfast dressed in their bathrobes and slippers. This was a first for us as of the 9 lines we have been on we have never seen people in their bathrobes before in any type of dining venue. Have others seen this before?

[Fblack]

I was on a Celebrity cruise to Europe and a very large number of Europeans were wearing robes all over the ship. That included the main lobby, buffet, etc. Finally the ship posted signs and made announcements advising passengers that robes were to be worn in the cabins only.

[gizmo]

LOL. I don't recall seeing people actually eating in the Lido in bathrobes but I have seen them in line in the Lido. :eek: Maybe they sat down to eat or maybe they took the food back to their cabin, I just didn't notice.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Unfortunatly -- yes. JMO -- think it is terrible!!

[caribbean girl]

I saw a few people in their HAL bathrobes on the Noordam in Feb. Most of them were out in 'evening wear':rolleyes: on the night before the end of the cruise. I assumed it was because most of their things were already packed or maybe had just come from a massage. Still, we were dressed appropriately on that last (sad:( ) evening and I've always gotten dressed again after a massage. I don't get why people think it's ok to go out in public in their robes... Would you go out to lunch or coffee at home in a robe?:eek:

No, I wouldn't, Cira! I'm glad I missed seeing that! The lady in curlers was enough for me, but even she was "dressed" and not out and about in her robe! But I did see a few throughout the cruise in the Lido at lunch. I assumed they used the robe as a swim cover-up by the pool.

We've had our inn for 14 years, and in that time, only a handful have come down to breakfast in the morning in their robes or pj's. But that atmosphere is very "home-like." Nothing like a ship.

[dakrewser]

Considering the way some people are "undressed" in the Lido, I'd be very happy if they would put on a robe....

[DFD1]

One of life's great pleasures is people-watching. We watch them. They probably watch us.

I think it's amusing that the HAL robes seem to appear from time to time all over the ship. I would not be surprised to look up one day and see one coming thru the dining room door!

I think it's goofey, but I'm not offended by it.

Amen to this statement:) Sometimes the people-watching is more entertaining than the evening shows. An extra perk, so to speak, of cruising......I hope my family and I provide as much entertainment as we receive....:D

Good attitude. I think many of those in bathrobes, especially the men, are doing so to cover their swimsuits ( manboobs) and not offend someone in the Lido area. Another good spot to catch people in sleppwear is the mandatory immigration process.

One on NCL, a couple presented temselves for dinner in their bathrobes. I was not offended and came to refer to them as the bathrobe couple. I do so love watching the real show, the other pax.

And let's not forget one of our favorite cruising couples, the slipper people- love, love, love it.

Thank you very much for that tidbit!;)

Personally, I have no problem with folks wearing robes. They are covered up! It is actually a European thing. I remember seeing lots of, mostly Germans, at the beach in Holland with robes on in my youth. You could always tell a German tourist at the beach by the robes and by digging big holes or "burchts" they would then "occupy"

I've never spotted anyone in a HAL robe in the Lido, but I've seen people wearing a lot less there. Yuck.

Phew...I'm glad that you will be sticking with your 'down home' traditions, Copperoozies. :D I was afraid of the hairy cyber stalker appearing sans robe (or other type of full coverage:eek: ) on a possible upcoming cruise we might be sharing with you and Maria. Now...I don't have to worry.:p



P.S. Does Maria wear curlers in the dining room?:o

[jhannah]

I understand cultural differences. But bathrobes are not public attire. The ship's dining venues and public spaces are not a beach. To wear a robe while traversing the buffet on the way to one's cabin from the pool is one thing. To dine in a public place in a bathrobe (or curlers, for that matter) is inappropriate, IMO. (Probably a minority opinion, but that's okay.)

[SandRaven]

Yep, it's a Euro-Spa thing. I was at the Ritz Carlton Orlando in Dec, and saw people eating at the outdoor restaurant in their robes and slippers. The restaurant was a good walk away from both the main hotel building and the spa complex, and overlooked the pool and golf course. Strange.

On the Maasdam, I did see alot of people using the robes as swimsuit cover-ups, but never in the Lido or other areas of the ship. I thought the robes were for in-cabin use only.

[Willsot]

I hadn't seen this much on previous cruises, but noticed it as a regular occurence on our last Veendam Western Caribbean cruise. I personally thought it was gross. Maybe because it was breakfast. It was definitely Americans. We then chose the dining room for breakfasts.

You are right, they belong in the cabin and nowhere else, I have no problem passing these people on the way to
the Spa, or around the Lido pool, but dining in them...No! There is a lot of low life and garbage that cruises nowadays! If I spot them in the dining area, they will get an earful from me! Rgds, PD..

[agabbymama]

Go to breakfast at a Denny's sometime. Not a cruise. The trend is to wear PJs as day wear. I was astounded to see a number of patrons,
not together, but they were in flannel PJs.

And my then 16 year old grandson informed me there was nothing wrong with it, he wore his PJs to school sometimes. All his friends do.

I'm sorry, I may have taken my kids out in PJs when they were toddlers, but PJs are not for wear outside the home or hotel room. And neither are robes, unless as you say they are used as cover-ups at the pool.

[RuthC]

Sadly, I have seen it. There was a man on the Voyage of the Spammed who arrived in the Lido for breakfast, went through the line then sat down. I could see that his legs were bare; have no idea what (if anything :eek:) was under that robe.
I wanted to go up and ask him if he went out to breakfast at home dressed like that.

The worst, though, was the couple who came to late afternoon (4:00 PM) games in the Piano Lounge on the Rotterdam (un)dressed in their robes. :eek:

And I am offended by it.

[mamaofami]

Ruth, the people at 4pm probably had their formal wear on under their robes, but the man with bare knees, no way.:D

[hammybee]

[/SIZE][/FONT]

You know, you are right. Men wear robes to the beach all the time in Europe. It goes well with the brown socks/shoes. ( OMG, I can't believe I said that)
One of the reasons I enjoy travelling as much as I do, is to be exposed to different cultures. If I wanted to see only people like me, I would sit at home and stare in the mirror.

[RuthC]

Ruth, the people at 4pm probably had their formal wear on under their robes,
No, they didn't. I was there playing and could see as much.
If it had been a formal night (and I don't remember that it was) first sitting was at 6:15. (this was in the two sittings days.)

[mamaofami]

I wasn't being serious.:D

[RuthC]

I wasn't being serious.:D
I was reasonably confident that you weren't, but wasn't certain that others got it.

[seasideny]

What people wear outside - on the streets- is just as 'interesting'! We have a whole subculture of parents who pickup their children at 3:00 pm in their pj's and slippers. We call them pyjama parents. If they wear pj's in the afternoon in the city I'm not at all surprised they would wear them around the ship.

[hammybee]

[/SIZE][/FONT]

Better by far, that you forget it and smile, than take offence to someone else's appearance.

[CruiseBumm]

I have never seen people eating in robes on a cruise, but I have seen lots of people in public in PJs at the mall, in the market, and at the post office. :eek: :confused: I agree PJs and robes are atire for home or in the cabin.

[RuthC]

Better by far, that you forget it and smile, than take offence to someone else's appearance.
Why is it better? :confused: Oh, sure, I looked at the man in the robe and smiled---laughed, even.
But forget it? Someone has to remember what standards are. And walking around in public in your jammies isn't it.

Of course you can remember what your standards are. Becoming personally offended when someone else has a different standard is not good for the soul and certainly is not going to change someone else's behavior. Could you see the humor and be grateful that they removed the hair curlers before leaving their cabin ?

Standards slip because people let them. Ignoring rude/uncivilized behavior only worked when those ignored knew they were being "cut". Alas, that's no longer true and it has to be pointed out to them....

:(

[zaandam_2]

i saw LOTS of robes everywhere on my europe cruise. i thought it must have been a CCL affliction. apparently it's just european.

I was talking about a blasted bathrobe, for crying out loud.

I think Dave and I are on the same page here, hammybee. He and I are talking about the standards of a civilized society. One in which you do not go out in public in clothes meant for the privacy of your home. It's a sign of respect for others, that's all.

[twoatsea]

I'm not condoning public bathrobing; not knocking it either - don't want to join the debate. Just something that has always made me wonder - why do bathrobes exist? :confused:

If robes are only to be worn in privacy, why wear one? Wear jammies or .... nothing! Never understood why anyone would wear a bathrobe in the privacy of their own home? Are some folks so restrained that they do not want their spouses/mates to see them in their jammies or nekkid?

I have a cheap one & take it with me on trips. Why? In case of fire! I would not want what I wear to bed to be in the morning news!:eek: :D

HAL says daily life aboard ship is relaxed and casual. Taken literally, a bathrobe is both relaxed and casual. Now we both know I do not wear a bathrobe in public....so I am not defending my choices.

That someone is out and about on a ship in his bathrobe is to me a curiosity, like someone walking around with a big ole juicy pineapple on his head. It does not offend me in the least nor do I think it challenges the underpinnings of society.....and I sincerely hope that the standards of a civilized society is based upon something more substantial than one's attire.

As lastly, if I may add, one of my favorite guys of all time, dressed in a relaxed and casual manner and wore something similar to a bathrobe. Maybe you are acquainted with him. His initials are J.C.

I didn't know that J.C. Penney, the founder of the department store, liked to parade around in his bathrobe! Who knew? Gosh, I learn so much here on this board....:cool:

I read this thread with some amusement & told myself I wasn't gonna comment. But then.........

Hammy, I'm guessing that JC's bathrobe-like attire was the public standard during his day. :D

How hard it is for a man to throw on a T-shirt over his bathing suit & be "covered up"?

And is there anywhere else, besides a cruiseship, that folks will justify the public wearing of a robe & call it acceptable? No, I don't like the pajamas thing, but I can see the stretch - what's the difference between flannel pants & sweat pants? A robe, however, is an intimate garment.

Exactly what nudists would say regarding their practice. ;)

Hi, I happen to be from Holland, and wearing bathing suits at the beach is of course normal, so are robes, however, we 're talking about people walking in their robes in the dining (yes,Lido is a dining room) room on a cruise ship, that is an absolute NO,NO! Don't let me catch you!! PD!!

[babyher]

Include me in the group of people watchers . The best free entertainment out there *LOL*

I truly cannot care less about what people wear , as long as they are friendly and decent people. Yes in a formal dining venue, try and look as best as you can, at least clean and presentable .

As long as someone isn't directly hurting or insulting or abusing me. Wear what you want.

I just can't build up enough steamm to ruin my good time worrying about what other people are doing.

And ya know what?? No matter how much you steam over it , they are just gonne keep doing it . So why shovel "you know what" against the tide? Relax , do what you know to be right and proper for you , and enjoy life.

Yeah, but What WOULDN'T J.C. Do? Really, he's all over the place, all the time...

I saw a guy on the last sea day, very, VERY rough sea day, wearing a bathrobe and bare feet in the Lido getting breakfast. The only thing I could think was that his clothes had been completely destroyed for some reason. I mean, he really stood out- especially since the hot tubs and pools were closed.

Not a good look! The same bathrobe that we all wear in our cabins does NOT look like a cover-up, it looks like pajamas.

[May4]

Or maybe they wear bathrobes - with those ample pockets - so that there is a place to put their toast.:p :p

[lougee1043]

did see a pre teen age girl in lido one am with her parents she was wearing pjs and fuzzy slippers-- actually thought it was cute-- never saw any adults dressed as the op said

[caribbean girl]

As I said, personally I wouldn't choose to wear a robe to the Lido. :rolleyes: But...what about people (men, mostly:o ) who wear shorts or bathing trunks with a shirt open from top to bottom to the Lido? I am TOTALLY turned off by that 'look'. Technically, they are 'dressed' yet I still feel like it's too much information for a public place. Yuk, yuk, yuk...all the blubbler, hair, etc...

(Let the debate BEGIN!!:eek: )

[Lynne Myrna]

I was in my cabin having breakfast, but my husband decided to go down to the Lido for some smoked salmon, he saw a very heavy set women eating breakfast in her bathrobe, & thought that it was very distasteful...he noted that she was extremely un-kempt. Some people just don't have any class!!!!

[Lynne Myrna]

Hey.....some people are fat, some are skinny, some are hairy, some are ugly....that's what makes the world go round!!!!! & then there are those of us that are just beautiful, inside & out....except in bathrobes at the Lido.

YUK,YUK,YUK!!!!!!

A wee brush up on history if I may. JC wore a seamless robe that was considered at that time to be only worn by the most wealthy as seamless garmets were very expensive and time consuming to produce. It was not a casual rag to be worn around the house or cabin.

[SUMMERDIGGER]

I saw a couple women on the Carnival Liberty , Feb 2006 on the Lido in bathrobes. Boy did they look tacky . They looked like toilet cleaners. No class. No offense intended to toilet cleaners anywhere.

The Lido should be a place where people at least would dress casually . There are lots of other people around. Why do these persons insist in looking like trash. Beats me. I guess they never seen a bathrobe before .
I think that if they wanted be on that wardrobe , they should at least order from the room service menu and save other guests that sorry view.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Yes, Carnival is a real 'top of the line' cruiseline! RGds, PD..

[CruiseQueen13]

NEVER thank God! Nothing like seeing some undesirable things at the bkfst table! Yikes what are people thinking.

[SUMMERDIGGER]

Yes , they may not be the top of the industry but there is really a lot of fun on their ships.
As I remember parties never end. They are catering mainly to the younger crowd. They are not too expensive either.

But if you like better than what they have to offer, you can always book on Holland America , Cunard , Princess , Costa , Windstar , Seabourn , Ocean Village and Swan Hellenic , Aida and P&O . They own all of those cruise lines too.

They are the world Leading Cruise company with 80% of the total market and according to their web site they are the parent company of 12 different cruise lines. attracting seven million guests annually.

Not bad for a real 'top of the line' cruiseline!

[hammybee]

Katharine Hepburn wore slacks and sneakers in the 30's. Society deemed her attire scandalous, slovenly and offensive. She referred to herself as "the original bag lady." I wonder if she cruised.

Wouldn't it be sad to look back on life and know that you missed out on knowing some amazing people because they were different and you were too clothes-minded :) to suspend judgement and get to know them?

[wizard-of-roz]

And for the rest of the story.......We travel with a service dog, who is probably cleaner than the average child. I groom her fur/ears/eyes/teeth/claws EVERYDAY! She goes EVERYWHERE I go and that includes cruises.

We went into the buffet area on an NCL cruise, where a man stood up and announced that he was not going to eat in the same room with a dog!

Mind you, he was wearing shorts and a tank top! He had "back hair" like no gorilla I had ever seen and his shorts were "speedo's"; need I say more? :eek: His companion wore a BATHROBE!:rolleyes:

I continued in his direction and placed my dog (on the floor, in a down position), at the table directly in front of him! Make that sort of comment and you've got my full attention!

My point being: I'd rather eat with my dog, than with people who are crass and show no respect for others!

On the other hand......people watching is such fun......very little motivates me to really care......but, insult my dog and now you've got my ire up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOUCHE'...

I work in Pet Therapy at the Local Hospital and one of our Dog's (Harley) is a Certified Guide Dog who is no longer with his Handicapped Person... Unfortunately he was too strong for the original person & The Southern Guide Dog Assoc. will not give a dog to a second person..Therefore, his Puppy Trainer was able to adopt him...He also goes on cruises with her...He is a Beautiful dog & I would eat with him any time..

We occasionally have folks who are adamant about dogs not belonging in the Hospital..Thank Goodness most patients & staff are very happy to see them..Our Dogs are bathed, brushed, teeth & ears cleaned & claws clipped every time we are in the Hospital...You would not believe how slovenly some visitors look when they visit Patients...We are appalled! Last week a man came into the Hospital in shorty P.J's..My friend & I were in shock!:eek:

Now I'll have to tell her that this seems to be a trend...:rolleyes:

Don't knock Carnival. In case you think HAL passengers are above such tackiness, I just came back from my Noordam cruise and was astounded to see the number of people wearing bathrobes in the Lido.

I'm not really one who gives a darn about what other folks wear, even on formal nights, but I thought the bathrobes were a bit offputting. Robes belong in your cabins or in the spa. I don't even think they're appropriate at the pool.

[hammybee]

I have seen threads/posts on other CC boards regarding wearing bathrobes in public. One that comes to mind is from the QE2 World Cruise whereby a couple wore their bathrobe/slippers to the evening show, on formal night.

It gives everyone something in common to talk about.

We've seen it posted many, many times on this board that some people prefer to change into something comfortable after dinner.
This is merely taking it to it's ultimate conclusion.

Besides, look at all the time saved later when they want to crawl under the covers. :rolleyes:

Well, we've dumbed-down so many other things in our society I guess this is the next facet to fall. :rolleyes:

[Trail46]

I also saw two people in robes in the Neptune Lounge at breakfast. Go figure!

[Love Cruises]

We only have one cruise on Hal so far, the Noordam but we were very surprised to see several people eating in the Lido each morning for breakfast dressed in their bathrobes and slippers. This was a first for us as of the 9 lines we have been on we have never seen people in their bathrobes before in any type of dining venue. Have others seen this before?

We just got off the msNOORDAM yesterday (the 21st) and saw the same thing quite a number of times mostly in the evening. We don't understand why people would do this - especially, on formal nights when everyone else was quite nicely dressed. It takes quite a bit of nerve on their parts to parade around like this. Maybe, we should have spoken up but you have to be so careful today.
