Are robes provided in the regular balcony cabins?

[Ellaleah]

I will be on the Bliss next Monday.  I’m wondering if I need to bring one or if I will find one in the closet.  Thank you.

[SpainAlien]

No, not in a standard balcony cabin I'm afraid.

[spookylu]

No, but ask your steward. I believe balcony staterooms are provided robes upon request.

They no longer place them in the balcony cabins as a routine thing, but your steward will get you one if you ask.  Just like coffee makers.

I always bring my own.  It's been my experience that NCL robes only come in three sizes:  small, x-small, and xx-small.

There are a finite number of both so "First in Best dressed".

We had robes on our last trip, Seward to Vancouver in a standard balcony. Did not request, they were just there? Previous trips we have not had robes (nor did we ask) in a standard balcony.

Did get them when we got bumped into a club balcony, not sure if that's a perk or just NCL randomness...

 

Either way, if you are on the larger side you will find the robes to be rather hospital like...they wont cover everything

We always ask for and get robes in our standard balcony room. 😎

Thanks for the info. We will be in a Club Balcony with large balcony in February. Hope to have both robes and coffee makers.

On RCI one of the loyalty perks on a low level is a bathrobe in every cabin, even insides.

assume the coffee is provided with the coffee maker?  Anyone who has had the coffee how is it?  Wondering if I should bring some of my own. If so what type of coffee maker/ what type of coffee should we bring: pod/grinds?

i have always had them in the room in club balcony and above.

 

upon request in balcony.

Yea, they provide the coffee and all the extras.  Honestly, the coffee is not bad, as hotel toes offerings go,  and more directly it is odd times better than the buffet coffe.  But, I bring my own “pods” made with tea/tisane bags and my coffee.  I use 1 Tbs + 1 tsp of grounds per bag.  (You will need to test this to your liking). Fold the bag over twice (do not use the drawstring) and staple 3-4 times across the top to close.  Works wonderfully in the NCL type coffee makers.

To clarify this, you double fold it, and secure it across with staples, 3 or4 ( 1 line) depending on-the width of the pouches you bought.

Hamilton beach single serve. It uses a small, round filter.

Do they restock the coffee supplies daily? And does that include water as well? Just trying to work out how much water we need to pre-order!

 

Also, how likely would it be for us to secure a coffee maker in our balcony cabin? Are they easy to get or do they run out within minutes of boarding?

[SakeDad]

We got them on Prima once asked for but DO IT EARLY! Make it the first request when you meet your steward as they run out quickly. And a $10 spot as you request doesn't hurt either.
