We will be travelling on Liberty on January 21st in a balcony cabin on Deck 9. Is it true that robes are not included and have to be asked for with the possibility they may not be available.

 

We have travelled on Celebrity a few times and NCL once in similar accomodations (balcony) and robes have always been in the staterooms without requesting them.

My robe was in my cabin when the rooms opened up. I did not have to ask. This was on Independence in November.

Individual ships may still do that however the directive from Miami and what is listed on the website states otherwise. On Enchantment last week and they weren’t in the room.

C&A terms and conditions. See item 3.

 

General Terms & Conditions

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. has the right to terminate the Crown & Anchor Society® Program ("the Program") or to change the Terms and Conditions of participation and benefits, in whole or in part; at any time without notice. Membership may be terminated at our sole discretion for anyone appearing to be utilizing the Program in a manner inconsistent with its terms, conditions, or intent. To qualify as a Crown & Anchor Society member, you must have taken at least one eligible Royal Caribbean cruise. Program level accrual is based on the number of eligible cruise points earned per individual. Cruise Points will be accrued at the end of each completed sailing. Next tier benefits will be applied on the following sailing after point status has been earned. No next tier benefits shall be applied mid-cruise. Guests are eligible for Gold membership in the Crown & Anchor Society after one completed cruise. After 30 completed cruise points, they are eligible to become Platinum members. After 55 completed cruise points they are eligible to become Emerald members. After 80 completed cruise points they are eligible to become Diamond Members. After 175 completed cruise points they are eligible to become Diamond Plus members. And those who have 700 or more completed cruise points are eligible to become Pinnacle Club members.

 

Cruise points are given for eligible cruises per stateroom category paid. Complimentary, promotional and/or reduced rate upgrades will not receive additional Cruise Points if final berth category is in a suite when moved from a lower stateroom category. Cruise Points are awarded to the guest whose name is entered into the reservation at the time of booking and completes the sailing. Eligible cruises exclude all reduced cruise fares (e.g., employee/employee family rates, vendor rates, etc.), affinity groups and other cruises as designated by Royal Caribbean at its sole discretion. All questions or disputes regarding the eligibility for the Program or provision of benefits will be resolved by Royal Caribbean at its sole discretion. Not all services can be provided on all Royal Caribbean ships. We shall not be liable for refunds or for damages resulting from failure to deliver such services. All Program discount coupons are subject to the Terms and Conditions stated herein and on the discount or promotional coupons. Cruise Point Promotions are not combinable. If a sailing qualifies for two or more Cruise Point promotions then additional points will be awarded by evaluating the promotions and giving the guest the best available offer. Each Program member shall be responsible for advising the Crown & Anchor Society of address changes, and we shall have no liability for misdirected mail, or any consequences thereof. Other terms and conditions apply. Program void where prohibited by law.

 

A Crown & Anchor Society member can be added into a relationship with other family members in the same household and receive equivalent tier status; however Cruise Points will remain according to actual cruises taken and calculated using the Program level accrual system described above. Pinnacle Club member tier status will not be awarded to dependents if earned by their parent and/or guardian. Pinnacle Club member tier status can only be earned by an individual, spouse or significant other by one of them accumulating 700 Cruise Points or more in the CAS program.

 

For all tiers except Pinnacle Club, a relationship is defined as a spouse or significant other and children less than 18 years old. For Pinnacle Club a relationship is considered a spouse and/or significant other. Children will be taken out of a relationship with a parent or guardian upon their 18th birthday date. If it is found that a dependent or child is not immediately removed from a relationship upon their 18th birthday and accumulates a higher tier status outside of this time period, the dependents record will be adjusted back to the appropriate tier status.

Thanks Bob. We have always had robes in our stateroom, but maybe it's because we book a full suite on every cruise. It's good to know it's not necessary to request robes.

You're welcome Jim. We always have robes too because we book a JS.

The only time we've used the robes was one night when it was chilly sitting on the balcony. We've sailed Celebrity and the reciprocal status means that the highest status Celebrity cruisers get on Royal is Diamond and Diamond cruisers are Elite status on Celebrity. I preferred the robes provided by Celebrity. We would sail either Celebrity or Royal. We were on Celebrity and Royal last year and will be sailing on Royal in June. There are different advantages to both.

Argh. ;) Now, I know why I travel Celebrity. However, thank you for your quick reply. Guess I will greet the room service in the nude.

 

If we are ever on the same cruise as you, I will give you our robes. We never use them.

 

And I will bring you room service. :evilsmile:

I don't think anyone really wants to pack a robe.Takes up too much luggage space. We always have used our robes as we sit on the balcony at night.

 

Yes, that's why I want a robe in the stateroom. They take up too much room to pack and we sit on the balcony when we first get up in the morning. We are not ones to jump out of bed in the morning, shower and get dressed. We like to enjoy that first cup of coffee on the balcony in our robes. No, we don't go running around the ship in our robes:p

We never use them either... The only time I put one on, it was very itchy. I am not sure if it was the fabric or it wasn't rinsed very well in the wash. Either way, it is very easy for me to bring my own :)
