We said we didn't need nightly turn down service. Our steward stocked a pile of towels under the sink. Also spare toilet paper and tissue. When he did the morning service he made sure the "stock pile" was filled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the extra amount of cleaning that Covid required from the cabin steward in each cabin on a daily basis this routine may well be the standard until it's not necessary any longer.

Rare Airwavey Posted June 26, 2022 #54 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Just finished 2 weeks on Sky Princess When the steward introduced himself when we boarded he told us we could have an evening service if we wished. We didn't request it. It's not something we've ever felt the need for. When we returned to our room after dinner on the first night our room had been redone, even got our used flannel - we'd just used the one - changed for fresh. And this continued for every night of the cruise even though we hadn't requested it As we are normally independent, back packing, cheap hotel type of travellers it was really nice to have this type of service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted June 26, 2022 #55 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Just got off Emerald Princess, our Cabin Steward told us they were doing a turn down service but we said we didn’t need it . As long as we got the Princess Patter for the next day we were happy. Every evening we called in quickly after dinner before going to the entertainment and every night he asked us if we were okay and did we need anything, bless him. They all seemed to be working every all evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t need our cabin doing twice a day. Will certainly make a point of requested no turndown needed on all future cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Tuesday Posted June 26, 2022 #57 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Just off CB, turn down service was done ( in our room ) without any conversation needed. Just like it use to be. You can request the patter on the medallion app, seemed to work for us. We received one daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather prefer NOT to have the evening service..I like the idea of stocking the towels, paper, etc in the morning and of course, I do request my patter every evening.

As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a koinky-dink!" I think that was PopEye the Sailor Man.😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Steelers0854 Posted June 26, 2022 #62 Share Posted June 26, 2022 We just got off the Majestic Princess, not only did our Steward do our turndown without asking we actually told him one day we didnt need it and he told us he was going to do it anyway lol. He was great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
