maja651 Posted February 18, 2013 #26 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Maja651- Thanks! Your list is very helpful, enjoy your cruise! Thanks! We plan to! Again, I realize that not everything, or even any request is a guarantee. We are not the type of people who will let the little things like that ruin our vacation! If they miss something, or miss everything, we will fix it in board! :). I think they key is to not set your expectations too high, so you cannot be disappointed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelly11 Posted February 19, 2013 #28 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well, today was the day we were allowed to book shows for our upcoming Epic cruise via the pre-concierge, so I took the advice from everyone here and added in some special requests! I hope they get it right, but will be fine if not, I can always ask the butler when we get on the ship. Here's what we asked for: 1. Loungers on balcony instead of chairs 2. Refrigerator emptied 3. Pillow preference ( she actually brought it up, so we chose) 4. Coffee and tea preference (again, she asked, so we gave her our preferences) 5. Extra hangers in closet 6. Menus from all restaurants in room 7. Splenda as the sweetener for coffee 8. Chocolate covered strawberries at embarkation for sail away 9. Told her the kind of snacks we prefer, and to skip the canapé types as we don't like those 10. Made both the show and dinner reservations, and asked her to note our anniversary on one of the reservations. 11. Towel preferences- she asked if we needed extra. I think that's it! :). The pre-concierge woman was very nice and professional. It was a very pleasant experience! Got to love the suite life! :) Were there choices given for coffee and tea condiments or did you just ask? I'd love to have raw sugar packets if it's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I asked for cheese and crackers, veggies, chips and salsa, chocolates, and the chocolate covered strawberries. Not all in one day, mind you! :eek: You would have to roll us off the ship by the end of a week! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're sailing on the Epic, so some of the shows you can make reservations for before you board, like the Blue Man Group, Legends in Concert and the Cirque show.
