Luxury For Less Posted December 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hi All, My parents are sailing on Independance on the 21st December. They have a standard balcony cabin and Mum was wondering if bathrobes were provided? There is no mention of them being provided in the RCI brochure so I am assuming they are not provided but just thought I would check. Thanks in advance Happy Cruising:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Happy Cruising:) Diamond Plus members get the use of robes on every cruise. They are in the cabin when you arrive and you leave them in the cabin at the end of the cruise. If this is your parents first cruise with RCCL they will not receive robes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston lab girl Posted December 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Bathrobes are only provided in suites or above. They are also provided when you reach platinum in the captains club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reijo Posted December 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted December 13, 2010 We made our 6th RCCL cruise in September and has nice, plush white robes waiting for us in our Promenade room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted December 13, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Tell them just to ask their room steward. If there are robes to spare, he or she will get robes for them. We had robes from our very first RCI cruise just by asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsPete Posted December 13, 2010 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ask your cabin steward for robes. You'll most likely get them. However, that's not a promise, so IF robes are an absolute make-or-break item for you, bring your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_K Posted December 14, 2010 #8 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bathrobes are only provided in suites or above. They are also provided when you reach platinum in the captains clubQ: What's above a suite? A: the pool deck. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 14, 2010 #9 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bring something of your own..lightweight...even a swimsuit coverup will work, just in case you can't get a robe. It's been "hit or miss" even in JS"s....I just bring a little something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseballkurt Posted December 14, 2010 #10 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Because no one has asked... Why wear a robe in the first place? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted December 14, 2010 #11 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bathrobes are only provided in suites or above. They are also provided when you reach platinum in the captains club You've got your cruise lines mixed up.:D Captain's Club belongs to Celebrity. You would be Platinum in Crown & Anchor Society which is RCI's loyalty program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising lady Posted December 14, 2010 #13 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Because no one has asked... Why wear a robe in the first place? :) It's good to use when sitting on balcony and relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted December 14, 2010 #14 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Because no one has asked... Why wear a robe in the first place? :) For the same reasons people wear them at home or when staying at a hotel or a resort. Not sure why this question would even cross anyone's mind.:confused: Besides we are talking about RCI so the correct answer is "Why Not?":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted December 14, 2010 #15 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Because no one has asked... Why wear a robe in the first place? :) My thoughts too. On a caribbean cruise in the winter all I want is shorts and a tee shirt:D We're platinum and they put nice big robes in our room last year. We gave them back to the steward - they took up too much room in the closet:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those towelling dressing gowns will provide another layer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted December 14, 2010 #17 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I am just off the Monarch yesterday. Was in a suite and we are Platinum. There was only one robe in the closet when we checked in. I did not ask for the second for the DH, but will ask for one on my next Jewel cruise, as he was bummed out towards the end he did not have one. We love tossing them on to run out on the balcony at night or early morning. And it was 30 degrees when we came into port on Monday. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave them back to the steward - they took up too much room in the closet:) We've been on many Caribbean cruises when I have slept in those robes and been grateful for them. It was warm and toasty outside, but they keep those ships too cold for my tastes. We usually crank the heat up and are still cold. FYI - live in hot, hot Houston but keep our AC at 80. It feels cold when the temp is 15-20 degrees higher outside in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted December 14, 2010 #19 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Carnival provides them for all cabins. Including the folks down in steerage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
