Mr305 Posted July 2 #51 Share Posted July 2 (edited) I’ve been on Celebration twice, it’s inaugural sailing and a year later, during the same time (Thanksgiving Week). The second go around, I ended up cleaning the room myself, the amount of dust on lamps, mirrors and a/c vent above the bed was mind blowing. Towels were coming out dark brown. Told the room steward and he was spotless the rest of the trip. To be honest, there’s not enough crew to properly clean rooms. My first cruise on Conquest last year, old clothing under the bed and the Pullman full of sand. The room was barely clean. I love Carnival but it’s a shame to experience something like this, yet alone on an XL Class Ship. Magic was a similar experience, New Year’s cruise right before Covid hit. It varies from ship to ship as well as who’s in charge. Edited July 2 by Mr305 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr305 Posted July 2 #52 Share Posted July 2 Just for fun, the lamp above the bed on Mardi Gras, run your fingers around it (top side) and see how clean it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr305 Posted July 2 #53 Share Posted July 2 (edited) Btw, I still had a great cruise and would go back in a heart beat. Except for that couch. 😂 Edited July 2 by Mr305 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there is pool furniture, sometimes linens, sometimes chairs. It's always different!

Pyrate13 Posted July 2 #55 Share Posted July 2 14 hours ago, CeleBrat said: If you take a look as you disembark to catch a tender, you will usually see furniture in the crew deck (deck 0) that is shrink-wrapped and held for storage. Like I said, did work on multiple ships (in crew area) and have not seen 'spare' furniture being stored. There's just not room. You may have on occasion seen furniture prepared for a planned swap out. Furniture also may be in that area for repair or cleaning. Linens, yes, after going thru the washing/drying and prepared for the next day's room service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we ended up going back to guest services they told us what our different options were and the amount so we just picked the spa credit which is what we were going to ask for anyway. Nice to get a credit for that, but obviously would have rather had a clean sofa and rug to begin with. Anyway, it is done with and I don’t have to think about it anymore now. Good.

missholly24 Posted July 2 #60 Share Posted July 2 I had this happen to a friend on another cruise line. (Celebrity I believe). She DEMANDED a different sofa. Said she wouldn't stay in that cabin if it wasn't replaced. They replaced it. She is something else but ALWAYS gets what she asks for.

Maybe it is a little paranoid, but I don’t want to post that until after our cruise. I would not necessarily try and avoid our cabin anyway as the sofa and rug have just been shampoo’d. It is probably cleaner now than the average cabin on the ship.😆 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note - I bet you never expected your original post to be up to three pages of posts and counting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that fabric sofas may be more "elegant" but this thread does show a problem with them for sure. I'm glad it was taken care of for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cushing985 Posted July 4 #65 Share Posted July 4 The vinyl sofas in the cabins sure make more sense than the fabric ones. I think the old sofas are comfortable but the orange color had to go. Maybe a dark blue? The orange color transported me back to the 50's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolSW Posted July 5 #72 Share Posted July 5 That “Poppie” Seinfeld episode makes me literally gag every time I see it’s on. Having a stained and smelly couch front and center when I got to my cabin would do me in. I know stuff happens, but oh dear….. You are troopers to have been able to deal with it the best way you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
