Rare hcat Posted October 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2014 On another thread it has been noted that these lovely towels are no longer in AQ or suites.....and in some cases are replaced with worn towels from general supply...... Has anyone else noticed this? If true, that would be yet another down grade of Modern Luxury...Disappointing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2bespoiled Posted October 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Link? In late August on Summit the towels had not changed. I'll be boarding in 3 weeks and can report back. It could be, but I'm guessing it was more due to ship supply, or at least hope so. Happy sailing, Jenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warmwinds Posted October 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Our towels in AQ were definitely not Frette (Summit 9/14). Although it was our first time in AQ, we used to have Frette robes in CC. Our robes in AQ were not Frette, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted October 18, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Can't post links on my tablet.....no idea how the thread about this is "Live from Infinity" TA by ghstudio....see post 45 et seq. Latest post from GH says they have the better robes and towels but posts before from others seem to indicate they are being phased out...per first hand experience and rumors.? that's why I started this thread to see what's up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loracpin2 Posted October 18, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I wrote post number 45 on this issue on the "Live from Infinity TA by ghstudio....see post 45" et seq. If you read post 56, you'll read how how expressed my concern while on board the Sept 17 Infinity and aftewards in my comment in the on-line evaluation. Seems to have been resolved. Hopefully for the long term!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop-JohnB Posted October 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Here is the link to GHSTUDIO's LIVE Report from the Infinity on her TA Crossing http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2113512 --- --- --- This towel topic is a bit of a concern to me as well as we always cruise Concierge or above, and enjoy very much the better bed linens, towels & robes Hopefully will find them in place on our upcoming cruise on the Constellation I will definitely report back after I sail in December --- --- --- Can't post links on my tablet.....no idea how [/Quote] Basic process is the same, cut & paste the URL On my tablet (iPad) I just tap in spot until the prompt "Select - Select All - Paste" comes up, choose which one i want, then the prompt "Cut - Copy - Paste - Define" appears... Again choose the one I want. Then move to where I want to insert text... Tap again, and this time when the prompt appears hit Paste. Hope this helps, Cheers! Ps...

warmwinds Posted October 18, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The towels, sheets, and robes in AQ were "nice", but they were not Frette, which was the original question, not whether they were ratty/thin/rough, but if they were specifically "Frette". They were not Frette in our cabin, but we were fine with them. I've actually NEVER had anything Frette except robes in Concierge Class on X. Do they have Frette sheets and towels in the suites?

JFontaine Posted October 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I do have Frette and Pratesi towels and linen at home, and Bulgari soap. I hope that Frette is not a thing of the past in suites. I'm spending a significant premium to try the new suite offering next April, "Crystal Cruise money". Frette has long been advertised in suites, and the new offering said 'no amenity will be deleted from the program'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Frances Posted October 19, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 19, 2014 We have always received the standard BLU/ concierge room amenities including eXhale bedding, 100% cotton oversized towels and Frette bathrobe & slippers I have never seen or read of Frette badding? http://wetu.com/iBrochure/en/Information/37730/Celebrity_Solstice/Room-Types Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2bespoiled Posted October 19, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I went through all of the suite ammenities, but Sky Suites, and they all say: "Bulgari luxury bath amenities & plush bathrobe" except for Celebrity suites, which also have "Oversized 100% cotton bath towels" I can't say what brand the towels and robes were in our RS in April, but they were the same as the other suites we've had this year and last. They towels are so big an fluffy, it's actually hard to put my hair up int them :) As I said, I board in 3 weeks and I'll try and remember to report back.

warmwinds Posted October 19, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yes! The big towels are so big I could not wrap up my hair, either...used the smaller hand towels for that. Honestly, I usually don't care what brand as long as they are nice, but I do know Frette from other land-based hotels we have stayed at. I'm not obsessed with names, and the X linens were fine.

gold1953 Posted October 19, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I certainly loved the bigger towels but can understand how much of a cost saver smaller and thinner would be,. More fit in the washer and far less dryer time. Of course we loved the towels we had in Aqua and CC class. As for the robes we find the Frette ones too heavy and rather the robes we have when we sail in steerage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFontaine Posted March 12, 2015 #25 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I do have Frette and Pratesi towels and linen at home, and Bulgari soap. I hope that Frette is not a thing of the past in suites. I'm spending a significant premium to try the new suite offering next April, "Crystal Cruise money". Frette has long been advertised in suites, and the new offering said 'no amenity will be deleted from the program'. Bulgari soap no longer listed as a suite amenity on the Celebrity website. Now it says: "•Luxury bath amenities ". I was in a Royal Suite on Silhouette last month, Bulgari was available, Frette towels were gone. Sincerely hope that Bulgari is not being replaced also.
