I read  that someone was complaining that there were no robes supplied on Princess.  Somewhere in the registration process I accidentally came upon a section where you can request a robe in your cabin.  Check it out!

Hi Ginny,

 You posted this in the Princess Roll call section/board.

It should be on the regular Princess board which can be found here.....

Yes you can put in a standing request in your online profile for a robe in your cabin which will carry over to any cruise booking you make.

It's typical that robes are unavailable until the day after embarkation. This is because they are being laundered from the previous batch of guests.

We had rooms in our cabin last week on the Royal Princess

[jennybenny]

There have been times when we've requested them on line but they have not been available in our cabins.  If we don't go out of our way to request them again, they don't show up.

I have had the standing request for a robe in my personalizer for years. If there's not one in the cabin upon embarkation, I mention it to the steward. Usually they tell me they are being laundered and will be in the cabin as soon as possible. I've never not gotten one.

[luckyinpa]

if you are less than skinny they probably wont fit. i asked the steward if they had bigger and he said no.

People should bring there own .

Interesting.  We have never requested a robe and have always received them.  We’re not much for hanging around our cabin so we don’t feel the need for them.  Even when we hang out on the balcony we don’t use the robes.  Needless to say we would never take up luggage space by bringing a robe.  At home we have robes that we received on the Princess Ultimate Ship’s Tour and two DCL robes that our children gave us as a gift.  We still seem to prefer our own regular robes.

     Different strokes I guess.

If you order room service......you better have one. More than once they have woke me up and I have grabbed it in a hurry. Poor room service. Probably scared them

[lorri111]

Where abouts in the personalizer does it give option to ask for robes? I may be going mad but I just can't see it.

In a booked cruise,  guest check-in, onboard preferences.

As  I have suggested in the past, first time room service shows up without calling first, don’t grab the robe.  Next time you order room service, they will call first.

Interesting, in that section I only have dining preferences, bed preference and document language. I wonder if it is different for non USA guests.

[neverbeenhere]

Seems like it is.   But just ask your room steward and they will provide robes and just about anything else responsible.

last year I finally ordered one, mostly for giggles, because I had read in many posts about the robe's rather small size.

Well, it's true.

I am size 14-16, and the front flaps didn't even close, let alone overlap...

 

P.S. Yes, I know I am very overweight.

This is my experience, too.

This is what shows on our booking. We are in Canada.

No - the interior lock is like a dead bolt. They can’t get in until you let them. They just woke me up when I overslept a few times. Bed head and shortly nitie! Love my robe

Ours is exactly the same here in Australia, except that box on robe is missing. Weird eh?

[Thrak]

We see the same thing in the US. I request a robe for my wife but not for me. The robes really aren't made for someone my size.

This is why I make my wife answer the door if she wants morning room service. The sheer trauma of me answering the door in some baggy boxers would likely scar the poor person for life. (I know it's not a pretty sight in the mirror...)

Actually not so weird.  Princess' Oz cruises are run out of Chatswood NSW, not Santa Clarita, Calif.

(That's why OBC down under is issued in $AU, not $US, and the onboard currency is $AU)

 

FWIW, last time I cruised down under, Princess had robes if you asked the cabin steward.
