mama_2_boys Posted February 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Which one do you pick and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted February 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Both. I want clean towels and cabin refreshed after morning shower. I want turn down service at night, with towels replaced again after showering for dinner, and beach towels replaced if necessary. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellindc Posted February 23, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Pick both. If you happen to be in your cabin when they come to service it, they will come back. Morning service: to make the bed, put up my son's bed, exchange towels, etc. Evening service: to get all the flyers, check the towels (many times we need more), maybe make the bed again if we've taken a nap, leave ice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pyropoodle Posted February 23, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) i reckon if i had to pick one, i'd pick morning. that way, we'd come into a nice neat cabin for the day and could enjoy the towel animals as decoration for the day. i have two smalls, so they'd trash it in a minute, but at least i'd feel like we started the day on the right foot.

Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted February 23, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We always ask for both and our cabin stewards never mind our choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondog73 Posted February 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Morning because we really have no need for turn down service. We spend little time in the room. Nothing more than shower and sleep. Too many other things to be doing both on and off the ship. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickrate Posted February 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We pick both but many times don't have them do the morning service as we stay in room late and really don't need it. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only go back to the room to grab something, then to change for dinner. At home I make beds as soon as we get up, so on a cruise I want the same. Turn down is a waste of stewards time, to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schazzy Posted February 23, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We just get evening service as the only reason we come back to the cabin during the day usually is to shower and change for dinner and we really don't care if the cabin hasn't been serviced yet for that, then when we are ready to turn in for the night, the cabin is all nice and clean. We usually just ask for a couple extra towels and they have always left them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted February 23, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We always request just mornings, including our cruise on Sunshine that ended this morning. I prefer twice a day service, but I have become friendly with several room stewards from frequently sailing on Carnival and know they are responsible for cleaning significantly more cabins than they did in the past. If I can help them out with only a minor impact to me, I will do it every time (i.e. request service only once a day). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Border Granny Posted February 23, 2019 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2019 If you choose just morning do they put out next day’s Funtimes, flyers etc then or do they still put them out at night? I just always assumed the stewards put them in the room while they were doing turndown, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted February 23, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 23, 2019 If I had to chose, evening. I automatically make the bed every morning. We shower in the afternoon after a day in the sun or back from an excursion. I keep things picked up and orderly, so there isn't much for them to do. I love coming back to the room in the evening and finding our towel animal, clean towels and everything tidy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just always assumed the stewards put them in the room while they were doing turndown, on my last cruise they dropped them off during turn down although we asked for only morning service. If we happened to need towels or service in the evening i'd ask the steward when we were headed out for dinner and they looked after things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog 52 Posted February 23, 2019 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Both, that's what we like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jame_g Posted February 23, 2019 #17 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Seriously, we would prefer cabin service once every other day. We aren't messy, and we don't really like the intrusion. Just want fresh towels every now and then. Same for hotels. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please show me where it states you are paying for your cabin to be serviced twice a day? I don’t understand people who complain about Carnival, not that your comment is unwarranted, yet they continue to cruise on Carnival. There are a LOT of other cruise lines out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want clean towels, and fresh ice in bucket, bed made when I return to cabin. Then I like turn down, fresh ice, and replace any used towels in the evening. We always have had twice daily service on other lines, so I’d like to keep it that way, if possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoy coming back in the evening and having the room set up so nice. We really don't need to have it done in the morning. Everyone is different and they have always asked us if we prefer morning or evening room service, or both.

Earthworm Jim Posted February 24, 2019 #21 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm OK with morning only, if they just check to see if we need fresh towels in the evening. I don't need the turndown service. Border Granny asks a good question about the next day's funtimes, but if they just put them in the mailbox outside the room that would be fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jimbo5544 Posted February 24, 2019 #24 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We choose evenings, no need for morning service for us. I regularly get asked by RS if we are sure (I assume it is because of our status) and I always reply we are fine with evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
