Chocs on pillows on RCCL? Since when?


Recommended Posts

I had them always since my first cruise back in 1995!

We have had chocolates on the pillows on each of the 4 Royal Caribean cruise we have been on. Earliest was Splender of the Seas in 1996 and last was Mariner this past April.

I also have gotten chocolates on my pillow every night since I started on RCCL in 1995 about 25 cruises ago. On the Serenade of the Seas in November of 2003, we didn't get any and when I questioned it the cabin steward told me they ran out last cruise and hadn't gotten anymore in.

My first cruise was in 87 and have had several since then and have had a chocolate on the pillow every night. Also always had turn down service every night, even on the day we boarded. We just got off the Voyager on 6/18, 5 nights to Canada and by the way there was no charge for Johnny Rockets. Maybe they were out of choc for your cruise.

I have had chocolates on my pillow since my first cruise in 1982. I've been on RCCL, Princess, NCL and the QE2 and there are always chocolate treats each night.

Maybe your roomsteward was a chocoholic and ate them!?!?!?

On our last cruise the first night...no chocolates. Just thought another RCCL cutback. I'm not sure how it came up, but I found out our dinnermates did get chocolates. I LOVE chocolate, and I was a little upset. The next time I saw our cabin attendant I was kidding around about it, and after that first night...lots of chocolates! It made me laugh looking at my pillow each night as we walked in!

On our last cruise I told our room steward that I really liked the chocolate he was putting on our pillows each night. That night when we returned from dinner there was a big pile of them on the bed. Yum!

Yes, if you have a good cabin steward, just ask, and you will be inundated!

 

On our first cruise, I jokingly said to her that my son was grabbing all the chocolate she was leaving before my daughter and I could get any. From then on: PILES of chocolate every night!

As hubby is diabetic, I always get both his and mine...

 

THEN I save his and bring them home.

When I get the 'cruise blues,' I break out one and eat it just before going to bed at night.

I swear I have sweeter dreams those nights... usually with beautiful turquoise water in them!!

Tell you a funny about those chocs;

 

Last year on the Mercury we became friends ( still are) with this couple that had just married that day. They were our dining companions

 

First night out Bob had a little too much of the hard stuff....fell into bed, slept like a log. Next morning he went to the bathroom, caught sight of this brown stuff all over him in the mirror. Had a sniff, was relieved to find it wasn't what he thought it was. Went to his honey and said "Sorry, I messed the bed last night" She was horrified at first, until he told her he had been rolling around with this melted chocolate all night. The sheets were brown, he was brown,what a mess! With tail between his legs, he went to the cabin steward, said he was very sorry, but they would need clean sheets the first day out. Steward said "Let me guess, chocolate?" Guess this happens a lot more than we know.

I save mine and then sweet talk my cabin steward and usually end up with a small bag of them and then I bring them all home and eat them for months. Im not a big sweet eater so one of those little chocolates will last me a day for a sweet fix. They are really good frozen too.

To this day, my kids don't know they get chocolates at night... icon_smile.gif

 

Seriously, on Princess one year, we asked the cabin steward to leave them extra chocolate (yes, for me also but we told him it was for the kids). My husband tipped him a $10 bill and they had a glass filled that night and a fruit bowl filled with chocolate the next day.

 

He was one of the best cabin stewards we ever had....

I can't remember NOT getting chocolates, and you can see below my name how long THAT'S been.

 

I was preggers on a cruise once...and, boy did the crew pamper me, too. I thought I would float away with all the milk they pushed at me in the dining room..hahahaha

 

Anyway, it was around Easter, and everyone got a FULL BOX of chocolate turtles (with pecans, not peanuts)....OMG...yuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm. I told our cabin steward how much I loved them, and he appeared with another box "for the baby".

I think our steward noticed that all the wrappers were on my side of the bedside table. hehe After about the third night, he just put them all on my pillow. icon_biggrin.gif
