Regal Princess robes

[beshears]

I have cruised Princess a couple times, but mainly Carnival. I know there is always a robe (if you want it) in the room. Does Princess furnish robes, or if we want one, do we have to ask?

You can either choose to request it in the room in the app, or just ask your room steward.

You can also request it using the medallion app on your phone before you even leave.

Princess includes robes in every stateroom . May not be there on arrival as will be being laundered but should be there by the evening. Just mention to room steward when he introduces himself as a gentle reminder if not there.

In the last few years I have both had them in the room upon arrival, and had to request them. I always mark that we want them, in the app. If its not there, just let the room steward know you want robes

It has been our experience that the robes are made of a waffle kind of cotton.

Supposed to fit all sizes, but I have always found them to be skimpy although I am a size 10-12. 
DH doesn’t even try to wear one.

Things may have changed though.

YMMV

They haven't. 😄

Thank you everyone for your responses to my question, this is what I wanted to know, so I could let the others that are going with me know as well.

Whereabouts in the app can you request them?  The only choice I have in the room section of My Preferences is bed configuration.

Just back from Regal - robes in the room.  I'm a UK size 14 and they were way too big for me!

Same for me. So I did a live chat with Princess and they basically said that only suites get them, which doesn't match with what we're being told here (why doesn't that surprise me?). We are driving to Southampton so no luggage restrictions - we'll just take our own!

Me too. They maybe have 2 sizes. I’m small and I swim in it, but DH is 6’ 190 pounds ands they fit him fine.

I do it online. In the personalizer there is a place to mark robes in room. The web personalizer works perfectly but if you prefer to fight the app by all means do so.

Our trip is not until February of next year. If I cannot get my robe on line, I will make sure my Princess PVP (seems very nice at this point), will do it for us.

On our 5 cruises, I requested the robes.  At least twice, I had to request the steward to give them to us.

[beshears]

I think requesting it from the room steward is just as fine too.

Same here....While they may not be obviously different than before they are not that stretchy waffle material.....more cottony.  They are bigger or at lease not shrunken up like the old ones.  DH never wears his but I always do. 
BTW,  they are rarely in the cabin on the first day because they are still at the laundry from the previous sailing.

You have to be on the ship to request them.  In the room service menu for ordering drinks and food is also an option called stateroom amenities.  You can order buckets of ice, pillows, robes, etc. there.

Robes on the Emerald Princess are also enormous!! Too big to be useful

In the app you can request a robe pre-cruise-just did it yesterday.

Where? The only

preference choice I have is for queen/twin beds.

It was in My Preferences under room but that section of the app is not working for me today. Everything else is okay.In some of the comments above others have mentioned this as well. You might want to try the online version to see if that's available there.

Are you in a suite? That may be why you have that port and I don’t.

We haven't sailed with Princess since pre-COVID, but back then, the regular cabins had the thin, cotton waffle-type robes. The suites had plush terry robes. but every cabin had a robe.

 

It sounds like things haven't changed since then. So the rep might have been referring to the plush robes (rather than the thin ones).
