Bring Bathrobes Or Not?

[copyace]

Hi -- we're sailing on the Meraviglia on December 8 in a Fantastica balcony cabin, first time with MSC. If we tip our steward, will s/he be able to get us bathrobes? Or are we best bringing our own? Thanks for any advice!

Tipping your cabin steward won't get you them - they have to have a supervisor's permission to provide them to those who aren't entitled to them.  Those that are entitled to them are in Aurea, are Black Card or are YC guests.

Don't worry, you still have your birthday suit.

You do not want to see me wear it on the balcony!

But suits can be worn on gala dinners in MDR. 🍻

Most of the time those robes don't close very well.  I just found out on our last sailing that you can ask for an "extra large" robe. The one I was given was so large that I could wrap it around almost to the back.

They do sometimes leave 2 different sized ones in the cabin, though not always.

They're always massive!  I was very impressed our cabin steward located a small one on our last cruise. I always ask but it's a lottery if they have one.

The proof is in the pudding... XL robes it is. MSC is now officially Americanized.  I knew it !  😂
