NoobCruise Posted March 15, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The description of the deluxe verandah suite says it has cotton bathrobes and slippers. Are those just for use on the ship like towels and bedding or are they complimentary to take home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 15, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The robes are for use on the ship, same as hotels, but are available for purchase, if you wish. You are welcome to take the slippers home at no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 15, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Sorry - you can not take the robes home. There is a note on them about how to purchase them -- you can even order monograms on them. The slippers don't have a hard sole on them -- I find them to hard to walk in. They are free for you to take home as there isn't any way for them to be cleaned for the next passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PathfinderEss Posted March 15, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2012 My DH loves the Robes but most the time they are not big enough. I'm wondering if you can get your stewart to exchange it for a different size? Only probably once or twice out of many cruises have they fit him.

sail7seas Posted March 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2012 There are robes in all HAL cabins. Suite guests also receive slippers. I actually like them and have brought home more than one pair. :) I have heard people say they requested larger robes and think they were provided. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Krazy Kruizers Posted March 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes you can request a larger size robe -- and if there is one available your cabin steward will be able to get it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon1 Posted March 15, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2012 We still have a few pairs of slippers lying around the house from several years ago. They are quite comfortable, and get used periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seago2 Posted March 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I buy a Carnival robe once a year and my last is in dire need of replacement. I was assuming that HAL had these nice, chunky, terry robes. However, they were the polyester-feeling, silkier types. I guess I will have to order off of the Carnival site. Waaah. First World Problems:rolleyes:.

sail7seas Posted March 15, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 15, 2012 HAL used to have those very thick, heavy terry robes but switched to this new style about 4 or 5 years ago. It was when they started providing robes in all cabins that they switched. They used to only put robes in the Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always ask for our "big boy" robes when we get to the stateroom. They have always been very good about getting them for us.

arzz Posted March 16, 2012 #15 Share Posted March 16, 2012 When we took the '08 Grand Asia cruise one of the gifts from our TA was a set of two HAL robes which we dutifully had monogrammed. Today, almost four years later, DH and I still enjoy our morning coffee and tea (served in our Dam Ship mugs, of course) wrapped in the warmth and good memories of our HAL robes. This was a gift that we would have never thought to purchase for ourselves yet we have enjoyed it almost daily for four years. So glad our TA thought of it!

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted March 16, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think it was in our deluxe suite on Zuiderdam, the slippers were put out at night on a cloth by the bed. As you approached the bed, the cloth said "good night" and when you looked at it from the bed, it said "good morning." I didn't much care about the slippers, but I really wanted that cloth. Then I remembered I'd have to put it out for myself, and the charm of it was lost. I only took the slippers home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted March 16, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks Sails, KK and Douglas, good to know, I will request the bigger robe on our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted March 16, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 16, 2012 and the new robes fit very well. In fact we stayed in a Spa cabin on Euro in Feb and they had the terry robes and we asked for the cotton ones. We like them so much, we bought 2 a couple of years ago. I took my slippers and use them around the house and throw the in the washing machine when they get dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 16, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 16, 2012 If you have stayed in Four Seasons, Ritz, St. Regis or some of those hotels, it is the same style slippers. I like to travel with them as they are light weight and pack flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
