Sport Goofy Posted February 12, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Did I hear that HAL was furnishing all cabins with the white terry bathrobes now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lka1012 Posted February 12, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Yes, on my last cruise I was in the "bowels of the ship inside" and I had a robe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted February 12, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2006 The robes are in all cabins on all ships. A word to the wise, however--- The robes are one size fits most. If you tend to be fluffier than the fabric then you might want to bring your own. They might fit up to size 1X, but not larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted February 12, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2006 They are not the heavy terry clothes but the waffle robes. They are very nice.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryos Posted February 12, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I had a waffle-style robe in my cabin, but never used it. I also had a GAP card from my TA which would have allowed me to take it home ... and they'll even throw in free monogramming. I wasn't interested. I got them to apply the $45 or so directly to my onboard account for things that I was interested in buying. But ... you can use it for the week for free. Can't imagine wanting to buy the robe on a cruise. It would take half your suitcase just to bring it home. If one was in the market for a robe, would seem more practical to just buy one when you get home ... and get the color and style you wanted ... not to mention not having to cart the thing home from a cruise. Wonder if the suites, though, get the nice terry cloth ones? Blue skies ... --rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lka1012 Posted February 12, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2006 You could always wear it home. While I would like to find a waffle weave robe, white would not be my first color choice. With four dogs, it would soon be a muddy paw print color. I keep looking for the right color, weight fabric so I can make one, but so far haven't found what I want, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiseoften Posted February 12, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 12, 2006 You can buy them for $19 or less at MARSHALLS & TJMAX in any color if you're lucky..... Do they have a web site? Maybe they would ship one to me :) I love those wafflewave robes but never have space to pack it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 12, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Suites have the thin terry cloth with lining - again - one size fits all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellebaby Posted February 12, 2006 #12 Share Posted February 12, 2006 This is the company HAL purchases robes from (I think): http://cypressretail.com/collection.php If you don't have to have the HAL logo monogram, then the prices are much more reasonable.

dsawyer Posted February 12, 2006 #13 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I don't understand. One wouldn't use the GAP card to take the robe in their cabin home, would they? Those are recycled ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseoften Posted February 13, 2006 #14 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks to SEADRIFTER and BELLEBABY - guess I'll use the robe while on board and then perhaps order one when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 13, 2006 #15 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I don't understand. One wouldn't use the GAP card to take the robe in their cabin home, would they? Those are recycled ones. What does "GAP" stand for, in this instance? Obviously, not the chain of stores of the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williebill Posted February 13, 2006 #16 Share Posted February 13, 2006 My wife and I were on the World Cruise last year, we had a Category D oceanview cabin and we were given the lined terrycloth robes to take home; these were not the robes that were furnished on board during the cruise but new ones that were had our names monogrammed on them. Believe me, they are very comfortable and warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierrachik Posted February 13, 2006 #17 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks to SEADRIFTER and BELLEBABY - guess I'll use the robe while on board and then perhaps order one when I get home. The robe from www.shophollandamerica.com is not the same as what is on board the ship and twice as expensive. I have a HAL robe here given to me by a HAL rep that says Monarch Robe inside and a web address of www.monarchrobe.com. The robes on the Zuiderdam in the S and SS categories were a waffle exterior and a terry lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was questioning Kyros about his/her statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl Posted February 15, 2006 #19 Share Posted February 15, 2006 We had the waffle robes on a November HAL Mexico cruise and I was surprised how warm they were. I couldn't tell that much difference between them and the thicker terry ones and frankly I thought they were more comfortable. My DH fell in love with his so surprised him with his very own, monogramed robe for Christmas. He loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakalina Posted February 15, 2006 #20 Share Posted February 15, 2006 We have both types of robes at home. There is a very heavy terrycloth that is all terrycloth and the waffle robes that are commonly in the cabins. The really nice terry robes were part of the "the two of us" package that HAL offers. It's a great package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
