sanmarcosman Posted May 30, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I see these brown "pads" on the beds in many pictures of the cabins. What is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmelnick Posted May 30, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Its a cover to keep the dirt from your luggage off the bed when you're unpacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams_mom Posted May 30, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Your room steward will lay it across the bed when you arrive so your luggage does not soil the white duvet cover. I believe it says what it is for right on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaB1 Posted May 30, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2008 It's a luggage pad to keep from getting the white comforters dirty while you unpack. Roll it up & store under bed when finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'ma Posted May 30, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I see these brown "pads" on the beds in many pictures of the cabins. What is it? It's a luggage pad to keep from soiling or tearing the spread on the bed. Just roll it up and stick it in the closet when you've finished unpacking.

Wags67 Posted May 30, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2008 then after you have your luggage emptied out....we take the luggage and put it under the bed....fits perfectly under there:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUcajunmom Posted May 31, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2008 then after you have your luggage emptied out....we take the luggage and put it under the bed....fits perfectly under there:) You know we have been on 5 cruises and I have always left everything in my suitcase, except for what needed to be hung. On my next cruise, I am going to be a bit more refined and put my things away and put my suitcase under my bed. Who said you can't find new things to do if all you do is cruise?

I always unpack everything and then stick the suitcases under the bed. I never thought of being refined, I thought of it being to lazy to drag the suitcase out from under the bed 10 times a day.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muumuu Posted May 31, 2008 #12 Share Posted May 31, 2008 One of my things is I must unpack and put everything away. This of course is only IF I do have that luggage before sail away. Just nice to start out with everything away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothomeonacruise Posted May 31, 2008 #13 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I always unpack. I don't want to steam the wrinkles out of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbay-eh Posted May 31, 2008 #14 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I always unpack - put a dryer sheet in each drawer (freshens it up and keeps little critters away) put the suitcases under the bed - again a dryer sheet goes in and I then use it for my dirty laundry. Take that suitcase home and right to laundry room. If if one only for a day or two it would be different but for 7 days I want it like home.:cool: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terri910 Posted May 31, 2008 #16 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The shortest cruises we've ever taken are 3-nighters, and we still unpack our suitcases as soon as they are all at the cabin (on the 3-nighters, we just have carry-ons, so that is as soon as we can get into the cabin). One of our favorite things about cruise vs. land vacations is that we unpack ONCE, stash the suitcases under the bed, and we are "home"....just "home" where someone else cooks the food, serves the food, washes the dishes, cleans my room and bathroom, makes my bed AND leaves me a mint on my pillow, and "home" that travels from one fabulous location to another!

Just nice to start out with everything away.. My husband actually does this as soon as we get to our cabin. And he does it very quickly...I'm dragging my butt and he's running all over the cabin putting things away. I think he enjoys it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Dude Posted May 31, 2008 #18 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have a friend who has to pack all her stuff up every time she leaves her room, all though she is not checking out or leaving the ship! Packs it all and then unpacks it when she returns to her room! Anybody else heard of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of being refined, I thought of it being to lazy to drag the suitcase out from under the bed 10 times a day.:) I have never had to drag the suitcase out from under the bed because it has never made it under the bed. It is usually against the wall. But, this will all change in Feb. I am going to be a more organized passenger!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minncruisers Posted June 1, 2008 #24 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Back to the original subject...We've been on 2 Carnival cruises (most recently 3 monts ago) and I have never seen one of those pads on our beds. We only stay in balcony cabins, is this something offered only in the suites? If not, I'll be sure to look for it next month.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'll be sure to look for it next month.:D I've never had a suite, OV or balcony and I've always had the "luggage cover" It is very nicee that you only have to wait until next month to look for one. Enjoy your countdown and your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
