bradenj21 Posted March 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Looking for reviews on the robe offered through gifts and gear - a few years ago they had a few options now it's only one. Also for the slippers will they fit size 15 feet (exchange/refund if size issues?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be hefty, so I feel comfortable using the term ;)) Edited March 12, 2019 by vacationlover_mn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted March 12, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think this purchase would be a waste of $$.....Depending on your C&A level or cabin category you'll get an RCI robe to use onboard or if not you can ask your cabin steward for one....then bring your own slippers.

I don't have high benefits either but I always ask my cabin steward for 2 robes and I have always gotten them. Maybe add some incentive to the request.

Also for the slippers will they fit size 15 feet (exchange/refund if size issues?) We have both the robes and the slippers (Yes, REAL men wear robes). We've used the robes for more than a year now, and they are good quality. Got the robes with Visa points, got the slippers comped on one of our cruises (they are worth being free, but I would never have purchased them.) I'm a size 8, and have a good two inches of sole left behind my heel, if that helps. BTW, the robes and slippers are available for purchase on board, so you would be able to see them before you made any purchase decision.

A2Mich Posted March 13, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Anybody have any info about the beach towels they offer on their website? Look like nice towels, but don’t want to order them if they are paper thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob. They look like a better product than the hotel quality pool towels. Was thinking about ordering some for stateroom delivery, and saveable as a useful “souvenir.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos shown on the website are definitely not the same as the light blue pool deck towels, and also looked to be much larger, a darker royal blue, and with the RCI logo. I just wasn’t sure of the thickness and overall quality. But, thank you for replying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the robes, the ones for sale that I saw were of higher quality and much thicker than the in-room ones. Those I have seen for sure. Here is a photo of the towels I’m referring to....

SakeDad Posted March 14, 2019 #21 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Towels look great but I would worry about leaving them on chairs when we go for lunch or drinks. Also on a 2+ week cruise how would you wash it? Edited March 14, 2019 by SakeDad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
