housekeeping info please

[Vera123]

Not having cruised before, is the housekeeping service similar to a hotel, in that the cabin is cleaned daily by a maid with a trolley?? and is there a 'do not disturb' card if you want a lie-in or nap?

[Teddy123]

Yes, although it's done by a steward who is likely to be male, and it happens several times a day, eg to turn down the bed in the evening. Yes there is a card.

:D:D Well sort of the same as a Hotel. Your Stateroom will be serviced twice a day ...usually in the morning when you vacate the room to go out for breakfast and later in the evening from about 7pm or later when you leave for the evenings entertainment.

 

Yes there is a 'Do not disturb card', however, most importantly a 'Service/make up the room card'.

 

To ensure you have a good relationship with your Cabin Steward/ss, don't forget to make use of these cards. Amazing how many folk complain that their steward either disturbed their rest,never changed the towels daily or didn't provided turn down service.

 

Oh and by the way, never refer to them as Maids or Room Boys ;):D

Taken from the Roll Call thread above:

 

I have just booked the QE 8th May 2017 Hamburg mini cruise?

Can't find a roll call for that.

 

If there isn't a roll call started for your cruise yet you can start one yourself in the same way you started this one, remembering to put the date in the title:

I knew 'maid' wasn't the right terminology but couldn't think what it should be lol.
