AKman2495 Posted September 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2013 OK, this is just weird but I was amazed to discover that chocolates on pillows seem to depend on what room you have and what ship you are on! I am sailing on the Caribbean Princess in a couple of months. In checking over my room on that ship it says it comes with "fine amenities". If you click on the description of amenities for that room it says nightly turndown service with chocolates on pillow. I am on the Plaza deck, which has a lot of OV rooms. Apparently, none of those rooms gets chocolates on their pillows! I am also sailing on the Crown soon. I checked there and apparently, only Balconies and above get chocolates there. Now, the chocolates are not a deal breaker, but it seems odd in how they choose to dispense them..... Go figure....:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKman2495 Posted September 12, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We had chocolats on the Coral last year in a room that now says will not have chocolates. As for whether they are good...that is debatable. We had a selection of about 4 different kind that they rotated around. I think the best were the red hearts.

-Lew- Posted September 12, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Are they nice chocolates? IMHO...no! :mad: We put them in a ziploc bag and bring them home. When we're desperate and don't have anything else in the house, we might have one. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishbird Posted September 12, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Awful cheap chocolate!:D. Does it really matter if you get them or not?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted September 12, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Here is what it currently states in the FAQ on the Princess website: "The little extras you find in the best hotels — fresh fruit (by request), evening bed turn-down, chocolates on your pillow, complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body lotion — are provided in every stateroom. Waffle weave cloth bathrobes are available upon request from your stateroom steward for your comfort and convenience." All cabins should get chocolates. That is what Princess states. If you don't get them, just ask the room steward. I have never not had chocolates. Most times they are not on the pillow, but on the night stand.

giselleacttwo Posted September 12, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We've always had chocolates on our pillows and are typically in inside rooms, though we've had the odd OV cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveling psych nurse Posted September 12, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We have always had chocolates on the pillows in our obstructed view rooms. We put them in a ziplock and bring them home to our youngest grandchildren. No chocolate might be a deal breaker in the 7 year olds eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted September 12, 2013 #21 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We have always gotten chocolates on our pillows and we've been in only insides and OVs. Our last three cruises (including last December) have been during the holidays and on Christmas, we've gotten a little stocking with hard candies instead. Rather have the chocolates. BTW, usually we'll get an assortment from the Princess dark chocolate squares to the milk chocolate hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2cruisegal Posted September 12, 2013 #23 Share Posted September 12, 2013 :eek: We have always gotten chocolates on our pillows every night We have always too. We were on Caribbean Princess last fall in a Plaza deck oceanview cabin and had chocolates. My DH isn't a big chocolate fan, so I get two! RCCL doesn't give chocolates on the pillow any more, found that out in 2010 cruise. It's just a nice touch that Princess is still doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that they would just copy and paste the ammenities to each room type and just add as they go from one room catagory to another. I bet if you call a Princess rep you will get different answers depending on which literature they are reading from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love.II.Cruise Posted September 12, 2013 #25 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We've always gotten chocolates, but I could understand Princess starting to do it for a level of category and above in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
