Dougolly Posted January 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I'm curious what are your usual/important pre-cruise requests that you like to have in your cabins upon arrival? Going in March on Marina! Thanks! Edited January 25, 2023 by Dougolly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted January 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2023 They usually have what I need/want 😄 do you want special sodas? Like Root beer or no sugar sodas ? I cannot really think of of anything that is required to be there Bed configuration maybe 1 bed or 2 If you do not want the duvet you can ask for blankets What you you ask for on other lines? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicalkerry2002 Posted January 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2023 no duvet, much too hot! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmerl Posted January 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We asked for two beds and caffeine free diet soda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GeezerCouple Posted January 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Specific soft drinks and sparkling water, in specific sized containers (yes, Princess and the Pea here, I guess...!) IF they can get them. The main concern is the specific drinks rather than the container. And we let them know about how many we expect to consume. Also, special cleaning for severe allergies. We contact special needs about this, and have never had a problem. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For health reasons I cannot have caffeine and drink A&W root beer at home. Hopefully they don’t only have the Coca Cola produced Barq’s root beer which contains caffeine.

GC Regatta with only a drive to the Port of LA for a coastal cruise & in 2024 on Sirena (NYC to Miami). Friends who cruise regularly on O prefer Riviera/Marina however none of those cruisers work for us at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ToxM Posted January 26, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Yes I am the Root Beer Girl 😉 Never let us down yet, and as I can’t get it easily normally it just adds the icing to the trip for me and it’s pretty much the first thing I check when we get into the cabin 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuker Posted January 26, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Robes. If not there, the steward will get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robjame Posted January 26, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Distilled water if you use a CPAP machine. Champagne bucket with ice and champagne glasses for the bottle of Veuve we carry on board. Anything that would twist your tail in a knot if you did not have them - eg. Clock or vanity mirror.’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention... if there is ANY health issue, such as caffeine, then contact the special needs folks, and fill out a form. IIRC, these forms can be long, as they are trying to cover all sorts of needs. Just ignore most of it, if it's that type of form. But do give them enough time for provisioning anything special if they can do it. Enjoy! GC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need to order it because it is not something they carry regularly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
