ice buckets in cabins on Allure?

[jean-lynd]

I just read a review and they stated that they don't provide ice in your cabin any more.  Is this true?  If so, is there someplace that you can get ice 24/7?  Thanks for your help!

Just ask you cabin attendant.  They are provided upon request.

I bring a collapsible cooler and have it filled each day.

On allure right now and ice bucket is filled twice daily.

Was on Allure in Oct 2018.  My parents in the next door cabin (same steward) asked and got their ice bucket filled twice a day.  We had no use for it, and did not ask, and ours was not filled.   all is good.

we just asked and our room attendant brought ice every time he came to our room.

The cabin steward (c s) will provide an ice filled bucket on request.  Upon our intro to the cs we ask for ice bucket in the AM & PM.  Also, any special needs eg; extra pillows, bath towels, etc.  Very accommodating.

I have never had a problem, and didn't just over a week ago either, with asking for ice bucket from cabin attendant.  He/she keeps it filled twice a day. 

 

The one thing I HAVE noticed is they are not putting my bottle of white wine on ice in one of those plastic buckets any longer.  They have it in a little wine bag, warm...or a note telling me it is in the little fridge.  That fridge does not of course keep the wine cold enough...sigh...more changes not for the better.

There is a note on the desk that ice is available upon request.   It is  not routinely left in the cabin.  Once you ask  your cabin attendant,  it will be provided every day, and generally replenished every evening.

Just ask your room attendant for an extra plastic bucket of ice and they'll provide one, no problem. 

Not everyone drinks their wine the second they step foot in the room, and the staff have plenty of extra duties on turnaround day as it is, so it's reasonable that they don't put every bottle on ice and keep changing out the ice twice a day every day until you decide to drink it.

They used to do that without asking. And it's not the cabin attendant (housekeeping) that supplies the wine, (in bucket or not)...it's the room service/restaurant department.  They come around with a cart that has trays of fruit, wine, etc. with notes on each for each cabin.  😉   We like our glass of chilled wine or bubbly on the balcony for sail away.  It's our tradition.  

 

This is just another change, like having to ask for our robes now, and the ice...etc.  Who wants to drink warm white wine?  The beer is warm also.  😞
