Default Robe question

I will be on the Radiance in Aug. This will be my third RCI cruise. Will they provide a robe if I ask?

I think some of the cabins come with them, depending on the class of it. If yours doesn't just ask your housekeeper and they will bring you one. This is what I have done both times so that I didn't havve to pack mine.

Robes are available for your use after your fifth cruise. In addition I believe that cruisers in concierge class suites have robes.

For those that simply must have one, they are available for sale.

I've heard others say that regardless of the cabin or number of cruises...if you ask your steward...they will come through for you with some robes.

I've only been on three RCI cruises, and on my last one, I asked for a robe, and it appeared. I don't know if that's specific to the Serenade, or what, but I didn't have any problems.

We sailed the Mariner and had 2 robes waiting for us in the room when we arrived without having to ask . That was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean.

I would like to ask all the replyers if they all were in Balcony rooms?
It was my understanding that if you have a suite (the larger balcony rooms),they come with the robes.
If you have one of the lower/smaller balcony rooms, you can still get robes if you know to ask for them.
If you are a Platinum C&A member (after 5 RCL cruises) you also get the robes no matter what your room.
Is this correct information?

We booked an inside stateroom, not a suite, first time sailing, not even a C&A member. We got the robes without asking.

I think it's up to the room steward to take care of you. Ours was very shy, but very meticulous in his job, cleaned our room (not twice) but so many times a day. We got 2 pool towels at the beginning, then they start to multiply. I think as we took them to the pool, he replaced with new ones.

I've never heard the 5-cruise rule for robes. It used to be robes for C&A members regardless.

I just completed my 5th RCCL cruise and I've always had robes except the 1st one when they didn't have robes yet.

Last month's cruise they gave us some when we asked. No it wasn't the balcony. Lowest price outside catg.

Just ask for robes and they will give them to you no matter what class cabin you have.

According to the crown & anchor benefits list robes are provided to Platinum & Diamond members. But it mostly depends on your cabin steward, we asked on the sovereign before we were platinum & our steward brought them that evening. I have seen other post that they asked for robes & were told no.

I just got off the NOS. I ask the room steward for a robe he said no problem. He asked my husband if he wanted one.. he said no. We tipped him and the next time we went to our room was a robe on the bed.

Are the robes "one size fits all?" Are there larger sizes for those who can't resist the buffets?

Hi
If you booked your cruise through a travel agent call the agent & ask them to request a robe for you cabin. Once you become a platinium member they are suppose to have it in your cabin automatically but I find I still have to request one.
