cymru cruiser Posted September 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Could some kind soul let me know if bath robes (or dressing gowns as we say in the U.K) are available on aprincess ships? Looking forward to my first aprincess experience Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted September 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Yes. You can request it in your Personalizer or just ask your cabin steward once onboard. They are lightweight “waffle” robes, not heavy terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965 Posted September 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2018 As Pam wrote, the robes are the waffle variety, not at all soft. I no longer request them because they are just not very comfortable, in my opinion. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted September 29, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Princess robes are made for very skinny people :). Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailspintom Posted September 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Princess robes are made for very skinny people :). Hank I find them to be adequate. While I am not skinny, I am not yet "looking prosperous" sized either. For the purpose of covering myself up from the shower or standing on the balcony, they are fine.

moki'smommy Posted September 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2018 My daughter refers to them as "one size fits no one." Yes, they are ok for when you get out of the shower, and very little else. Suites do have much nicer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan Posted September 29, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2018 They are good for covering your legs and feet if you want to nap without getting under the covers. And that’s about it. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg4502 Posted September 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I always get a robe. I don't use it except for the tie. I use it to tie up the extra clothes hangers, so they don't rattle around at night, if we hit some rough water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomelessBear Posted September 30, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Ask the steward when you get on board but be prepared to wait until the next day to receive one, as they’re laundered between cruises. They’re not brilliant but better than nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
releck97 Posted September 30, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 30, 2018 In my experience, if you get a new one, they are generously sized. Otherwise, good luck! My 105 lb. daughter couldn't even get one around her a couple of months ago. They shrink like crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted September 30, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 30, 2018 we must have got the new robes on either of our last 2 cruises...don't remember which it was, but wife said they looked new, were thicker and larger...happy wife..:hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally just squish the hangers and clothes together...but your idea should work even better. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asingl Posted September 30, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Princess robes are made for very skinny people :). Hank Agreed! I just got off the Transatlantic Royal Princess. Told my steward a robe was too small, and he was able to replace it with a nice thick, big robe from the lotus spa! Just ask the steward!

2pbears Posted September 30, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 30, 2018 We were on the Coral a couple of weeks ago and I requested a robe for the first time ever just because I knew that the hotels that we were staying in pre-cruise were all going to have robes and I wanted to save room in the suitcase. I wasn't expecting much based on the comments here on CC but I was very pleasantly surprised. They were clearly not brand new (you can tell when something has been laundered more than a few times) but they were very amply sized and a much heavier than expected waffle type material. I very happily wore it daily through out the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted September 30, 2018 #22 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Reading this thread makes me think that Princess robes are like Princess towels....luck of the draw. We have over 200 days on Princess and have yet to get a decent robe...so I guess we will just have to keep cruising until we beat the odds :).

kennicott Posted September 30, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 30, 2018 We always check the box indicating we want two robes pre cruise. A lot of the time they are waiting for us, however as the Steward explained, they send all robes to the laundry as soon as the cabins are vacated, thus the laundry gets overwhelmed, so it may take a couple of hours before we get ours. We can't complain, have never had a problem with worn or dirty robes and they always fit us nice, on Princess anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted September 30, 2018 #24 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The current waffle weave bathrodes on Princess ship are now quite large ... almost too large for many. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
