ROBES on HAL ships


Bases5

Recommended Posts

Hello Bases...we will be all together soon on the Zuiderdam...10 more days. As far as the robes I do know that they are in the oceanview rooms as well as the suites but not sure about inside cabins but they probably have them also. HAL pampers their passengers and I would think that everyone has them in their cabin.

Robes are provided in every cabin. We tyically book the least expensive inside cabin and have always but once found a robe on arrival.

 

If you are (as we are) uncomfortable with the concept of using a robe that has been previously worn by others (yes I know they are laundered, BUT I still have no wish to use it nor have it taking up space), you can take it up to the Purser's Desk and have them note on your account that you've requested the robe be removed from your room. In this way it will not be charged to your account.

 

Once we were fortunate enough to find no robe in the room on arrival. We were *absolutely impressed* with the idea that HAL had remembered our preference for the robe to be removed from the room....until our steward showed up with robes and profuse apologies later that evening...it seems the previous occupant of the room had not wanted the robe either, and he'd not gotten around to replacing it.

 

Some really like the robes and even purchase them for home use, but I prefer a silk robe and prefer to use the hanging area for garments of my own.

As well if the ones in the hanging area do not fit..ask your Stewards to replace or get another smaller or larger one that will fit...:D

 

Wow I did not know they had different sizes. I used to be a pretty big guy, (not that Im small now) and hated the robes due to the fact that they were to small

My wife has the opposite problem. She bought a robe to take home on our first HAL cruise, on the Veendam a year and a half ago. Since then, she's lost 80 pounds and is on her way to lose a lot more. Now there's room for two of her in the robe.

 

I'll probably have to spring for another $50 on our Zuiderdam cruise, next April.

She deserves a new robe and more losing all that weight. Tell her "way to go!!"
