peacefulOR Posted August 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I would never have thought to ask this question until a recent 12 day TA on another line. Our sheets/cases were never changed. I know that it's not like a hotel but at least once a week? First time on Princess to the Mexican Riviera and would appreciate your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cabin steward will change the sheets every 3 days. Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe that last cruise (same ink spots on a sheet); most lines are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON That cruise was such a horror that I didn't notice until day 8 and by then just gave up. Shame on me. Really not changed? Old bedding with stains and small tears, easy to tell once seen.

Tony I remember having them changed every day, but that was a couple of years ago. The routine may have changed or maybe it depends on the relationship you develop with the stateroom steward on embarkation day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted August 26, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2019 We decline sheet changes daily for sure. I don't recall if one of our stewards said needed to do it every 3rd or 4th at least. I will go with Captain T above. We have a 10-night coming up and I will see if we can go 3-4-3. We don't change sheets every 3/4 days at home and never see the need when we are away - land or sea.

peacefulOR Posted August 26, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'm sure that other cruisers have had different experiences (at least I hope so). The worst was on a 4/1917 TA from NYC to Copenhagen. We had a cabin attendant who looked ready to drop from the first day and it was his last time on NCL so we didn't report him. He had so many excuses for other mishaps during the cruise that I had let it go at that time. This year, NCL,, NYC to Southampton, another one full of problems but much better worker. Still didn't see anyone carrying linens on the whole cruise so I began to check ours again. Not the way I want to cruise. Hal, Carnival, and Royal were all good. Maybe we just had bad luck, twice. 41 minutes ago, MixerDave said: What cruise line ? Must to avoid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukesubsailor Posted August 26, 2019 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I don't know what type of cabin you will be in but I know that bedding is changed every day when you stay in a Princess penthouse suite. That was the case in our cruise on the Royal Princess early this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted August 26, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I have never paid attention as I assumed they were changed periodically. When we sail on the Star later this year I am going to mark the sheets in an inconspicuous location to see when they are changed. Thanks for the information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do this I hope you mark them with something that will wash out like chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted August 26, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I agree with Tony. The standard on Princess is 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradiselivin1 Posted August 27, 2019 #15 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Never thought about it but assumed it was at least once a week! Next 3 booked cruises are 14+ days. Will need to ask. Hate to think there would be no change after 2+ weeks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1emerald1 Posted August 27, 2019 #16 Share Posted August 27, 2019 On my last cruise on the Royal I ate the turn down chocolate placed on the bed and a piece fell onto the sheets. I tried to pick it up but as it was so small it just got smudged onto the sheet. The next evening I had clean sheets, without even mentioning the chocolate mishap.

riffatsea Posted August 27, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 27, 2019 We certainly don't change sheets at home every day!! On board we don't even let the steward in every day to "clean" our cabin! We are very neat and allow them in every few days. If we need something like fresh towels we jut ask for them. At home we have cleaning service every other week and our home is just fine that way so on board every few days is much more than what we actually need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, though I did change sheets 2x a week when living in hot, humid climates. It sounds to me like Princess is doing a lot of things right judging from the nice responses here and the general impressions I'm getting. Really looking forward to our hot/humid cruise in January from where it will be cold/wet. Thanks, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
