MAZANDSTEVE Posted April 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Reading the Princess site, it says you can request a waffle bath robe from your room steward. Is this option for all guests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted April 5, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yes, you can also request them online, but that doesn't seem to work very well. So we just ask the cabin steward when we meet him or her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tralynn Posted April 5, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Sometimes they'll be waiting for you in the cabin even if a request hasn't been made. If they're not, just ask for them and they will magically appear! Such a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChitterChatter Posted April 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Is it just me, but I find it a little repulsive to wear a bathrobe that was worn by someone else before me. I have a difficult enough time getting myself to walk barefoot on carpets and showers and snuggling in the bedding. I don't think I'll be requesting a robe. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahtomedi Posted April 5, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I requested a robe and it was not there on arrival. I asked the room steward and he said they were in the laundry and would be there the next day, and they were!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I am sure that the clothes you have bought in stores have been tried on by someone else before you bought them. So if its ok for you to wear them after you wash them, then why isnt a robe ok to wear after its been washed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvs2Cruise2 Posted April 6, 2011 #16 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Oh my Gosh!! I was totally misunderstanding this robe thing! On my cruise personalizer (leaving in a couple weeks on my first Princess cruise) I saw the robe thing so of course I requested one for me and one for DH... I thought these would be ours to KEEP! I didn't realize that we would be "borrowing" them! Ha ha.. you learn something new every day! Now what about the robes you get when you take the Ultimate Ship Tour? Are those robes you keep?? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo222 Posted April 6, 2011 #20 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yes, after the ship tour you receive a brand new robe in its packaging to keep. I was just discussing this with Mrs. Pablo. We have a big shipboard credit for an upcoming cruise, and I'd do the ultimate tour again... But, I don't want to have to haul home all the junk. We have two chef's jackets that I can never imagine we'd use for anything. I don't think we need four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gertz Posted April 6, 2011 #22 Share Posted April 6, 2011 [quote name= Now what about the robes you get when you take the Ultimate Ship Tour? Are those robes you keep?? Thanks in advance![/quote] The answer is yes but they are not the same robe as in your cabin. They are expensive some place around $90.00 and bulky but you can buy a duffel bag in the ship's store to carry them home and they make excellent Christmas presents.

ChitterChatter Posted April 7, 2011 #23 Share Posted April 7, 2011 To follow up on all the snarky comments, would you wear someone else's underwear even though they were washed? Kind of skeevy to me! A bathrobe is a personal item and a luxury, not a necessity like a towel. Heck, I even air dry myself most of the time just to avoid those scratchy, stained towels that have been god knows where! I think I can go a week without a robe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although once they were there when we arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
