bunchesofun Posted June 30, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2012 On JH's blog he says that he is really going to push to have XXXL bathrobes available on the ships. I for one would be very grateful, as I have never been able to use the robes as they are too small. As he says, One Size Does Not Fit All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatzNCruisesCA Posted June 30, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ok, i'm going to put myself out there and say that as a big girl, i'd be happy with larger bathrobes. I mean, it's not so important that i'm going to throw a tantrum about it (which is how most people on John's blog operate) - but it would be nice. * sits and waits (weights - ha ha) for the snarky comments* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulcimergirl Posted June 30, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I too, would love larger robes. There always very snug on me, and that isn't comfortable. Bringing your own is not an option, they take up a load of room. I do bring a caftan that serves as both a robe and a swimsuit coverup. DH would love one too, he's not big or tall, but that tummy.. lol can't even close a robe. Yes, I know, diet and exercise.. I'll get started right now.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmjrdn4ever Posted June 30, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2012 According to some of the comments John makes about the Russians walking around the ship, he should be glad they are not complaining about not having longer bathrobes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted June 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I tried the Carnival robe once, it fit just fine but they are too heavy for my taste. I have a summery robe of my own that I bring instead. It's very lightweight and doesn't take up much room when packed. And I know it's clean. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vols159 Posted June 30, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I for one dont care for a bath robe..I havnt owned one since I was a little kid But I know alot of people love them! So i hope ccl gets the size you need! Happy sailings to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisah101 Posted June 30, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 30, 2012 The bathrobes they have now don't fit hardly anyone. I'm 5 foot tall and they are so big, I can't wear them. I roll up the sleeves, but they don't stay and get into everything. You can't wrap them around enough to cover the front without the sleeves pulling. There is just something about the cut of the robe that doesn't fit anyone. There must be a better way. I also agree they are too heavy, especially for a cruise ship that mostly operates in warm weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room Service! Posted July 1, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am not going to be snarky....but why not bring your own...is it such a big deal? Apparently it is. ;) The robes fit me fine, but I don't like them. They are TOO heavy. As another said, I use my beach coverup. Men could bring their own. It doesn't have to be a bulky type, or how about one of those wraps,around the hip, things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are XXXXLG., how would you expect them to have this size? If you wear a robe at home, and you know that you are a special size, then bring it with you. I am not a special size, like you Gran3 and ALSO find the robes too heavy and bring my own light weight one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 25-50 bucks a crack for luggage, you would pay more to pack the suitcase than what the robe is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room Service! Posted July 1, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 1, 2012 There are very lightweight robes. Even with a large size, I don't see it taking up a whole suitcase, ... of any size. For sure though a large sized robe similiar to what CCL uses would take up an enormous (no pun intended) amount of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterloomarc Posted July 1, 2012 #15 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well I hope there's some mechanism to choose the size and we all just don't get the ginormous ones. The ones that are there now are already a little on the large size. At least it since I only cruise a few times a year this won't be as annoying as going out to dinner at home and being stuck in a booth where the table is 2' away!

mamajo3304 Posted July 2, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 2, 2012 My husband thought he was being romantic by ordering 2 robes to be waiting in our room- I saw it as a waste of money. I only got one of them out of the package so as not to make him feel bad. Then I asked him how we were going to get them home, seeing as we only had 2 suitcases and they came from home FULL. Somehow I managed to get everything in the suitcases, although I did have to sit on the one with the robes to get it zipped. I hate to say that the one robe is STILL in the package (we have been home 7 weeks) and I haven't touched the one that is out of the package.

wrigley80 Posted July 2, 2012 #17 Share Posted July 2, 2012 After 8 Carnival Cruises I have never even taken the bathrobe out of the closet. They seem like a waste to me :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauleydm Posted July 2, 2012 #18 Share Posted July 2, 2012 We have never used the robes...but they do seem to be quite bulky.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigirlcruzin Posted July 2, 2012 #19 Share Posted July 2, 2012 And I'd like to see smaller robes...I drown in the ones they have in the room. No big deal, though...I bring my own lightweight, silk robe. NCL and RCI don't include robes in all cabins, so I just throw it in my suitcase.
