evanAction Posted March 17, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted March 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuabacruiser Posted March 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanAction Posted March 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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 .

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

msshawn Posted March 17, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerReuv Posted March 17, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengkp75 Posted March 17, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volmoma Posted March 17, 2015 #14 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted March 17, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvit! Posted March 17, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 17, 2015 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted March 17, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Never had my cheers changed everyday or even once during a 7 day cruise on either Carnival or Celebrity. That would be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
