blindrid Posted February 21, 2015 #26 Share Posted February 21, 2015 S Can't even see where you're coming from because most of what I do on the cruise I don't do at home:)! Do you have someone serve you dinner every night,EEK! Do you have a steward make up your bedroom, EEK! And maybe I (And many posters here) just have different hygiene standards than you do. No need to get offended. No offense taken here. I just found the sheet issue a bit odd but different strokes. As I travel a lot, I really dislike eating out (with some exceptions) and have a steward making up my room is not an issue as well. We keep our cabin clean unlike others I'm sure. I just happened to find your expectations a bit over the top. Have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie008 Posted February 21, 2015 #27 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Easy - Life at home = work + toil + bad hair day + husband tireseome + wife crabby VERSUS Life on a cruise ship = romance - starry skies, music - amoure ;) - Husband handsome in a Tux and Armani + Wife in perfume and a LBD =- CHANGE THE SHEETS EVERY OTHER DAY!:eek: And if you dont get it = well - you dont get it = that simple!"

Rare 81Zoomie Posted February 21, 2015 #28 Share Posted February 21, 2015 i know for sure the sheets on our comforter and the pillow cases were not changes for the entire week we were on the Reflection. I was surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAM Posted May 5, 2015 #29 Share Posted May 5, 2015 How often do you change them at home? Really ??????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Frances Posted May 5, 2015 #30 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) i know for sure the sheets on our comforter and the pillow cases were not changes for the entire week we were on the Reflection. I was surprised. I change them weekly at home. Should I be expecting something different on a ship? I might want them changed more often if someone other than us was sleeping in them lol Edited May 5, 2015 by Christine Frances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JERSEYGIRL1983 Posted May 5, 2015 #31 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have 7 sheet sets. My DH and i change them every day and wash them all once a week. King size so it takes up 3 loads. Im just kidding. Lol. Love these posts. I think its a great question. Its true, we do stuff on vacation we normally wouldnt do at home, i.e swim then sleep in bed or eat in bed, etc as another poster brought out. I just may request our sheets to be changed mid week on our cruise if not done automatically. Never even thought of that. Thanks for the idea OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the idea OP The only time I ask them to be changed is when I sleep on the pillow chocolates:eek::eek: But the one thing I do, when I request a bedding change out of the regular schedule is make sure I tip the steward extra. They work hard enough:) Edited May 5, 2015 by Christine Frances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we need the sheets changed every other day!

bonapart5 Posted May 5, 2015 #34 Share Posted May 5, 2015 We really noticed on a 14 night Canada/NE cruise that they did not change them at all! :( We kept thinking it will happen today, tomorrow etc. But No. We were in CC. We could have asked but you just expect these things will happen eventually. I do not hold out much hope any more. DH lives in hotels 6 months of the year and they normally change them every second day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBsaved Posted May 5, 2015 #36 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just bring your own set of sheets...or two...put them in a space saver bag and they don't take up much room in your luggage:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromered7 Posted May 5, 2015 #37 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think some of you carry a ultra violet with you!!! If you want want sheets changed every day so be it. The cost of cruising is rising and I think you have every right to maximise the value you perceive of your cruise.

ChrissieB Posted May 5, 2015 #38 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Our first night on the ship, DH cut his arm. That night a small amount of blood from his bandage got on the bottom sheet. The cabin steward change the sheets without our asking. Seems, if they noticed they are soiled, they'll change them immediately. LuLu We had the same issue - felt bad that they felt they had to change the sheets but were impressed by the service.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted May 5, 2015 #39 Share Posted May 5, 2015 It's kind of easy to see if the sheets are changed during your use of the cabin. Put a small mark on one corner of the top sheet when you arrive and then watch to see if it disappears one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianDee Posted May 5, 2015 #42 Share Posted May 5, 2015 In college, I changed my sheets once per month, whether or not it was needed.;) Once a month?!?! Were you made of money? Annually, for students. I confess, I do love the feel of clean sheets now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poconolady Posted May 5, 2015 #43 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Why can't they do what many hotels do, have a card to place on your pillow when you want your sheets changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted May 5, 2015 #45 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do they change the sheets or do like they do in the dining room with the table cloths and just flip them over? :D Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybearhollow Posted May 6, 2015 #46 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I checked on our Silhouette TA last Fall and it was every 4th day. I marked the pillows because I'm picky and wanted to be sure the ones I slept on were mine. I noticed they were changed just once on our 7 day cruise in Dec.

marbear5 Posted May 6, 2015 #47 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Jeez I hate that I have to spell this out - 1st the feel and smell of fresh sheets is wonderful - but at home other things get in the way of the indulgence of changing them every 2 or 3 days. 2nd - we seem to "tussle up" the sheets more often on a cruise than we do at home :o :D , 3rd some of us gals are of a certain age where we tend to have our times at night where we are a bit warm. Does that clear it up? ;) Hi Jane, Well stated! Remember we were on the Cool Cat together with Karen and Mary, when we sailed on the Eclipse. How's your new house?

Rare Deeliteful Posted May 6, 2015 #49 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Lol - this thread reminds me of my cruise in November last year with my sister. The first morning I saw lots of little black "bits" near my pillow. Quite freaked me out :eek: They were definitely not there when I went to bed. Checked my bed thoroughly that night as did my sis - all clear. :eek:There they were again the next morning! Finally dawned on me that they were the lavender seeds from my eye mask which had a small hole in it! Panic over.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo1953 Posted May 6, 2015 #50 Share Posted May 6, 2015 A solution, if one is really concerned, type up a card or three or four before cruising and leave it on your bed when you want to have them changed, that is what we do and it has yet to be a real problem (on other cruise lines that is).
