eminence_front Posted August 27, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Do the stewards do housekeeping, i.e., make beds, change sheets, clean the bathroom, in your room, or do they have separate housekeeping staff for that? (You can tell I haven't been on my first cruise yet. :rolleyes: I will on 9/10, though. :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great people, I wish I could have brought a steward home with me just to turn down the bed at night and make towel animals for me... LOL have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted August 27, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Cabin stewards are off during the hours of noon til 5. Takepost it notes and leave a note on the bed or mirror if you need something. Our last cabin steward had over 20 cabins to clean twice a day. But the room was always cleaned. fresh towels all the time. ice twice daily.

Cotton Posted August 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Em, the cabin steward does just about everything you can imagine. They not only... make the beds vacuum the cabin clean the bathroom leave fresh towels refill your ice bucket twice a day bring your daily Capers - ship's newsletter make cute little towel animals turn down beds at night..... but they also leave chocolate mints on pillows!:) They're on call most of the day, but there's a window of time (maybe noon-5?) that they're "off duty". There's be a note in the cabin about paging the steward, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstrybuf Posted August 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Gotta love a good room steward! They probably won't change the sheets unless you ask for that to be done. Hopefully, they'll be clean, new sheets when you board, then they get changed for the next cruise . . . hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crsinmo Posted August 28, 2005 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Our room stewart was great. Yes we know he/she gets a portion of the tip which is automatically charged to your room, but we still tipped him an extra $10 on the first day. We told him we knew how much he was going to be doing for us during the trip. Also told him, and followed thru, that we would tip him more in cash at the end of the trip if service was what we heard it would be. The guy was like our personal butler. He was there everytime we turned around. We had no wants that went unattended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
