I see someone by the pool in a robe...looks fine to me, a robe is a robe is a robe. Ever heard of a beach robe? Just because YOU call it a bathrobe doesn't mean that is the only thing for which it can be worn. PLEASE just enjoy your cruise. Looks like the person by the pool is enjoying theirs.

Beach robe, that's it and it looks like (judging by this website) that all RCCL needs to do is add "fringe" to all of their robes and no one will notice the difference. TA DA, problem solved :D :

Seeing as how this topic seems to be such a bone of contention for some folks ;) me thinks I need to get all of the folks who flowboard in the early am on our next cruise to pose for a picture with ALL of us wearing our robes out by the Flowrider. Heck, I may even flowboard with mine on :D

Well if the robes offend people, I understand, so I'll just walk back to my cabin naked (that way I won't drop water all over the place)

I was on a cruise with Kate Upton once. Even after I complained vigorously about her wearing a robe to the pool she wouldn't walk back to her cabin naked.:mad:

 

Why is it that only people with bodies like you and me make that offer?:eek:

Well at least I could remove my gratuities before I got kicked off the ship and put in jail! Lol

Hmmmm, I'd have to pay triple gratuities.:eek:

 

And pay off all the sign and sail accounts for everyone who witnessed the spectacle.;)

Wearing bathrobe to pool = gauche.

 

You can do it if you want. And if you do it some people will think you look like a dink. Your choice.

 

And I bet the people that are wearing the robe could give a rat's a$$ what you think about it.

What a ridiculous and culturally inept thread. I ignored this thread at first and still for the most part wish I would have.

 

The difference can be derived in this simple variation between posts on English and American English dictionaries.

 

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bathrobe

 

Believe it or not there is a renowned expert on robes, Connie Hunter and she clearly states the multiple purposes for bathrobes and knows the historical significance of robes.

Amazing to find this thread on the forum for a cruise line for which one of the regular popular activities is the "Men's International Belly-flop Competition".

It is not the fault of the guest how RCI design their SPA activities. You can not expect all guests with todays baggage restrictions to pack several styles of robe or cover-up and RCI would have to provide them.

 

If you are a spa aficionado it is quite common to go from SPA treatment to relaxation room to shower to gym to shower to dry sauna to shower to hot tub on deck to deck shower and then back to steam room to shower. (or some other fully acceptable variation on this)

 

While this works ok on Freedom Class, it is quite a distance between facilities on Oasis class, for instance.

 

Being that one is on vacation, moving to a bar or vitality bar in between one of these activities might also be normal and it would be completely inappropriate to approach a bar without proper cover and only in a bathing suit.

 

Is it not natural for the use of a robe in between these activities and not the fault of the guest that RCI have them spread out in such a way that a 'robe' is required to move between these areas.

And for those folks who tend to be "visual learners" as opposed to "written word learners" I think that puts the point across about as clearly as possible.:)
