Chocolates on Pillow

[AKman2495]

OK, this is just weird but I was amazed to discover that chocolates on pillows seem to depend on what room you have and what ship you are on!

 

I am sailing on the Caribbean Princess in a couple of months. In checking over my room on that ship it says it comes with "fine amenities". If you click on the description of amenities for that room it says nightly turndown service with chocolates on pillow. I am on the Plaza deck, which has a lot of OV rooms. Apparently, none of those rooms gets chocolates on their pillows!

 

I am also sailing on the Crown soon. I checked there and apparently, only Balconies and above get chocolates there.

 

Now, the chocolates are not a deal breaker, but it seems odd in how they choose to dispense them.....

 

Go figure....:confused:

Hi There

 

All passengers should get one chocolate makes no difference which ship or cabin grade,

I have never not had a chocolate on my pillow, i hope they are not going like rccl

[laughing husky]

Have had chocolates in mini suites as well as inside cabins....shouldn't make any difference.....:confused:

Are they nice chocolates?

[AKman2495]

We had chocolats on the Coral last year in a room that now says will not have chocolates.

 

As for whether they are good...that is debatable. We had a selection of about 4 different kind that they rotated around. I think the best were the red hearts.

We have always had a chocolate on our pillow, regardless of cabin.

Just curious, where are you finding this information?

Are they nice chocolates?

IMHO...no! :mad:

 

We put them in a ziploc bag and bring them home. When we're desperate and don't have anything else in the house, we might have one.

Awful cheap chocolate!:D. Does it really matter if you get them or not?.

Here is what it currently states in the FAQ on the Princess website:

"The little extras you find in the best hotels — fresh fruit (by request), evening bed turn-down, chocolates on your pillow, complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body lotion — are provided in every stateroom. Waffle weave cloth bathrobes are available upon request from your stateroom steward for your comfort and convenience."

 

All cabins should get chocolates. That is what Princess states. If you don't get them, just ask the room steward. I have never not had chocolates. Most times they are not on the pillow, but on the night stand.

We have always gotten chocolates on our pillows every night

Hi All

 

May be lack of chocolates is down to who gets back to the cabin first,;)

[dforeigner]

Yep, same here. Chocolates on top of each pillow (bed actually) every night on every sailing

[zacc]

Another one here who has gotten chocolates every night on every Princess ship!

Yes, I always seem to get chocolates on the pillow, however my wife never seems to get any. I keep telling her that it must be a mistake.....

We've always had chocolates on our pillows and are typically in inside rooms, though we've had the odd OV cabin.

IMHO...no! :mad:

That is too funny! We put them in a ziploc and save them for the plane ride home.

[traveling psych nurse]

We have always had chocolates on the pillows in our obstructed view rooms. We put them in a ziplock and bring them home to our youngest grandchildren. No chocolate might be a deal breaker in the 7 year olds eyes.

What is the 'enhanced' turn-down service in Suites?

[Cruisin' Chick]

We have always gotten chocolates on our pillows and we've been in only insides and OVs. Our last three cruises (including last December) have been during the holidays and on Christmas, we've gotten a little stocking with hard candies instead. Rather have the chocolates. BTW, usually we'll get an assortment from the Princess dark chocolate squares to the milk chocolate hearts.

Hi Lew - this made Val and I chuckle. We had a vision of you and Nan eating Princess chocolates when the cupboards were empty. Times must be tough!:D

We have always too. We were on Caribbean Princess last fall in a Plaza deck oceanview cabin and had chocolates. My DH isn't a big chocolate fan, so I get two! RCCL doesn't give chocolates on the pillow any more, found that out in 2010 cruise. It's just a nice touch that Princess is still doing!

This situation is just consistant with Princess inconsistancy. You would think that they would just copy and paste the ammenities to each room type and just add as they go from one room catagory to another. I bet if you call a Princess rep you will get different answers depending on which literature they are reading from.

[Love.II.Cruise]

We've always gotten chocolates, but I could understand Princess starting to do it for a level of category and above in the future.
