RuthC Posted December 25, 2012 #26 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Men wearing speedos should probably pull a pair of shorts over them. No "probably" about it. They definitely should pull on a pair of shorts. And leave them on when they go in the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchestrapal Posted December 25, 2012 #27 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Unless they manage to get the towels back to their room, they will likely be shocked when they are charged for them. Pool towels are available in great abundance at the pool. Has anyone ever looked at the list, in the book in cabin, which has the prices of anything you might think of pinching. Don't remember what a towel would have been but you could probably buy a dozen at home for one missing one.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtdesilets Posted December 25, 2012 #28 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I think most cruise lines post dress codes for dining and/or evening wear, but never address the bath robe issue. Same with "Speedos". For the most part, the cruise staff tries to cater to everyone, no matter their peculiarities, and would never confront someone for their poor choices. Restaurant managers on board, have more of an ability to enforce such things, as they can refuse to seat you until you are appropriately dressed. Thus they sometimes utilize the "lender" jacket. For me personally, bath robes in an elevator are a no-no. Bath robes in either the pool or spa area are acceptable. Bath robes in the executive lounge may be pushing it.

pacheco18 Posted December 25, 2012 #30 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Oceania really does that? I find this a bit tacky, don't you? Same thing is done in the best hotels in the world If you help yourself to the bathrobe you will be charged $X Frankly, O's bathrobes are not that special -- not worth stealing at any rate LOL I have never seen a similar policy for towels --I don't think towels are on the list on O -- bathrobes and umbrellas are for sure.

Rare LHT28 Posted December 25, 2012 #31 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Oceania really does that? I find this a bit tacky, don't you? Just think of the costs involved if everyone took the hairdryers home or the bathrobes etc... Remember the days when people would take the ashtrays or towels from hotel rooms ...it all cost money It does not both me as I do not take things that do not belong to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jancruz Posted December 25, 2012 #32 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Oceania really does that? I find this a bit tacky, don't you?

Rare ORV Posted December 25, 2012 #33 Share Posted December 25, 2012 For me personally, bath robes in an elevator are a no-no. Bath robes in either the pool or spa area are acceptable. Bath robes in the executive lounge may be pushing it. So if bath robes are okay by the pool but not the elevator what does someone wear while getting to the pool if they don't take the stairs? Not that personally I care as I never touch the bath robes except to move them out of the closet and somewhere out of the way as we're unpacking.

PS Caledonia Posted December 29, 2012 #34 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's not the "speedos" that are the problem, it's what sometimes tries to fit into them that makes me laugh.... A bit like someone being "poured" into a small container and forgetting to say "when".... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambagahle Posted January 4, 2013 #41 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I am giggling over this thread! It is getting sillier and sillier (and lots of fun!! especially for the imagination) here in Europe most men wear swimsuits that are very close to what you Americans call "speedos" and many of these same men overflow their suits, front and back. Similarly we are used to seeing extremely large (mainly German?) ladies on beaches in only one part of their bikinis! What one sees on a cruise ship with mostly american guests is mild in comparison. Someone should post some photos!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you there First time in Greece there was a bus tour of Germans my DH just about fell off the lounger when this nice German lady decided to sunbathe by the pool :eek: not a pretty sight Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
