Amtrack Springfield Posted February 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 29, 2016 We always request a top sheet, rather than just the duvet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnguy Posted February 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If you don't have a top sheet all there is a very warm (for me) duvet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenCL Posted February 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 29, 2016 We also like the flexibility of the top sheet and we also pack a light blanket because we both get too warm using the duvet. I will be anxious to see if the new bedding is an improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietemann Posted February 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If you don't have a top sheet all there is a very warm (for me) duvet. That's right, duvet is too hot, especially in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go-Bucks! Posted February 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I agree with others that sometimes I get too hot for a duvet and prefer to just have a sheet. But another reason is that I read here on CC that the duvets are not washed between guests and I'm not going to have someone else's cover right on me too. Sweat soaks in and who knows what else might too!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron the Rev Posted February 29, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Might be a crazy question but I see a lot of people requesting a top sheet for bed and not sure why? Just get your steward to fold the duvet and place it under the bed and ask for a top sheet. Use the air-con as is comfortable to you.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted February 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I bring the coverlet from my bed at home, to use instead of the duvet - too warm. I always get a top sheet; I simply fold the duvet and stick it under the bed myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_nuts Posted February 29, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is there a way to request the top sheet before you are on the ship? Like thru the Cruise Personalizer. Or just ask after you are in your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted February 29, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The duvet cover is laundered between guests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceleven Posted February 29, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The duvet cover is laundered between guests! I agree, there is no way they would re-use the same cover...unless one has a very lazy steward and I have never encountered that. We never use the duvet as it is much too warm. We always ask for a top sheet and one of their lighter blankets. They generally will "sandwich" the blanket between two sheets. Your steward will make the change for you at his usual turn down time in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneharborlady Posted February 29, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 29, 2016 The duvet cover is laundered between guests! Yes, it is, but that is a thin sheet like covering over a comforter. But it is probable that the comforter inside is not laundered between guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted February 29, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 29, 2016 That's right, duvet is too hot, especially in the Caribbean. Not really trying to be contrary but what difference does the destination make. The individual air conditioning in your cabin is adjustable so your cabin can be kept at whatever number you choose to set it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one out of three cruises did my cabin temp remotely resemble the setting we tried for on the thermostat. It was always much warmer, even half way through the cruise, than we had it set for. And we were told nothing was wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizonaperson Posted March 1, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Might be a crazy question but I see a lot of people requesting a top sheet for bed and not sure why? That's because Princess and many hotels are now or have been, just making the bed with a bottom sheet and a duvet. The bedspread is usually stored under the beds.(on Princess) So if you want the duvet to act as a blanket or bedspread then one might need a top (flat sheet) to use. I know at home I use a fitted bottom sheet, a flat(top) sheet and a blanket and fold the bedspread to the bottom of the bed. What is missing from the Princess beds unless you ask is a "top sheet"-or flat sheet. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceleven Posted March 1, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yes, it is, but that is a thin sheet like covering over a comforter. But it is probable that the comforter inside is not laundered between guests. As someone brought to my attention before, neither are the pillows or mattresses. I guess at some point we must give up on the idea of 'ABSOLUTE' freedom from other people's cooties. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San10s Posted March 1, 2016 #19 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) A couple of weeks ago on the Royal, I asked for a top sheet. I asked that it be left folded on the bed as my hubby likes the duvet. I like having a sheet to throw over me....with the AC on MAX. Instead of a flat sheet, I received a duvet cover! :eek: There must be a shortage of flat sheets available! ;) Edited March 1, 2016 by San10s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treven Posted March 1, 2016 #21 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The first thing I do, even before unpacking, is to spray the en-tire cabin with anti-cootie:eek: spray! So far I've never come down with other people's cooties.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted March 1, 2016 #22 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) The first thing I do, even before unpacking, is to spray the en-tire cabin with anti-cootie:eek: spray! So far I've never come down with other people's cooties.:D We have always done the same. Except on our last Cruise. Received our luggage and couldn't find the Lysol Spray. We questioned each other and both agreed it was packed. About a month after the Cruise we got a message from SLC TSA advising us they removed the can of Lysol Spray. Good news is we didn't catch any cooties. Oh yea, we always request a top sheet also. Edited March 1, 2016 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocaissey Posted March 1, 2016 Author #23 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thank you for the help. Haven't sailed princess in a while. We are not elite mbrs and would like to know when we should leave our hotel in morning. I would rather wait there than at hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bob Posted March 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted March 1, 2016 When we meet with Stewart we hand a short list of things we want done. On the list is a request for a top sheet Also, we provide a picture of a Dead President. :D We always get the top sheet and the other items accomplished.

OCruisers Posted March 1, 2016 #25 Share Posted March 1, 2016 We've been invited to three weddings in the past year. On their gift registry all three listed duvet/bottom sheet. That's also what our granddaughter took to college for her dorm room. Wonder if the duvet/bottom sheet is now what the younger crown wants and Princess is trying to be "trendy"?
