sheets

Did carnival stop changing sheets everyday?

[tampabaytom]

in 7 years of my cruising history ,they never changed my sheets, just replaced used towels

Never had them do it ever day. It was every couple of days for us on the last couple cruises. You can discuss it with your steward tho and make arrangements.

Odd question:confused: Why would they need to change them daily? I wouldn't do it at home so certainly don't expect it on a cruise;)

Agree with the other posters. Honestly, we don't do that a home so I wouldn't expect them to do it on a cruise. I'm sure the steward would change them as often as you want if you ask though.

Some people are a bit more "active" on vacation, so I understand it. Room stewards will normally accommodate any reasonable requests tho. Just pony up some extra cash when you ask so they make you a priority .

I just asked the question. I thought they chage the sheets daily.

LOL, nothing like catching up on a cruise, especially with a balcony cabin. But that's another thread.

LOL right.

It seems like when I started cruising the sheet were changed everyday and the past two it seem like they never got changed. Good thing I slept in the bed by myself.

Hotels have not changed the sheets every day for a while now. More "green" not to wash them when the same person/people are in the room.

 

As others have said, you don't change them at home every day why would you need them changed on the ship each day? Unless you are playing musical beds with strangers. :eek:

How would one know if the sheets were changed if they were not dirtied up?

Most of the lines will not change sheets on cruises under 7 days, and will do it once, midweek, on a 7 day, and some don't do even that. It takes about 4 days to clear the linens from turn-around day, there's no way they could keep washing sheets every day.

How would one know the waiters don't spit in the food, you wouldn't. (Just to make a point). I've asked once for the sheets to be changed because my hubby got sick and the room steward changed them with no problem.

If they changed the sheets in every bed on a ship every day, and washed them, that would be a whole lot of wasted water and gray water dump in the ocean every day. Does not make sense.

Yes, they will change your sheets if you ask just like any hotel will change your sheets sooner if you ask.

While I agree with your sentiments, there are a couple of things I would like to point out.

 

First, gray water is not dumped in the ocean. All water; black water from the toilets, gray water from sinks, showers, and laundry, and galley water is treated before being pumped overboard. Most ships have advanced waste water treatment plants that treat all of this water to near drinking water condition.

 

Secondly, while it would be a waste of energy, many ships use "free water" in the laundry. This is the condensate taken from the air in the air conditioning system. I'm sure that anyone with a whole house A/C unit knows what a condensate pump does to remove this water from your attic or basement. On a cruise ship, this can equate to several hundred tons of water daily, and is perfectly good for doing laundry with.

About 10 years ago they changed the standard on 4 star hotels from daily sheet changes to every third day. The housekeepers workload was increased from 16 to 20 rooms daily, so this was a payroll savings for the hotels. On a recent Magic cruise our room attendant said he had 27 rooms (but he also had a helper).

Never had my cheers changed everyday or even once during a 7 day cruise on either Carnival or Celebrity. That would be crazy.
