Silly Question About Blankets

[cmyers]

We are going on our first Alaskan Cruise and would like to know if they provide blankets on decks when cruising Glacier Bay? Silly question but sometimes a jacket is not enough on a cold lounge chair.

When we did our Alaska cruise on Princess, wool blankets were available on deck. You checked them out from an attendant, and when you returned the blanket it was noted on the list. In fact, we kept ours and took it down to our veranda to use there as well and returned it before disembarkation.

When I sailed to Alaska on Holland America, yes, they did have wool blankets for your use on the outside decks.

We had beautiful red plaid blankets on our HAL cruises. They were stacked in piles for outdoor use. Never noticed anyone taking names to check them out.

They were in our suite when we got on the ship.

Nope, not silly at all. When you're right in the middle of an ice field, you can assume it will be cool. On our Glacier Bay experience it was cloudy with fairly high winds. The blanket came in very handy for DW who tends to chill much easier than I do.

Not a silly question and I must admit in all the years I have participated on this Board, I do not recall it ever being asked in the past.


They had beautiful red wood, plaid blankets available on our recent Maasdam Canada/New England cruise. They were piled on Promenade Deck, at aft pool and there were two in our suite when we arrived.

When we were in Glacier Bay we did use ours when we sat out on the verandah watching the glaciers calve.

We didn't have to use them on our Canada/New England cruise.

We didn't need them for the Canada/New England cruise either but it was nice to know they were available if we wanted them.


DH sat at the pool most afternoons.....no wool blankets needed. :)

Not only NOT silly, but it wasn't on my list of things to find out, and should have been. Thanks for asking!

[cmyers]

Thanks for all your replys- this board is the greatest. I didn't want to pack our blanket throw if not needed. With all the heavier winter clothes the suitcase will packed to the hilt already. Again much thanks

I seem to remember a couple of those blankets stashed away with the extra lifevest in our stateroom...

If there are no lap blankets in your cabin and you want them, ask your steward. He will get them for you.
