Don't know where you get you will spend a lot of time lounging on the bed. Most of the time people will either be on the balcony or around the ship. Most even stated they use just for sleeping. If people don't take off footwear that is down to them and only affects them no one else. Like I said all they need to do is ask. Everyone has different views that is fine. It is all personal preference at the end of the day. I wonder how many complain onboard about it or send a message to head office. I bet if they complained onboard then the sheets would be changed every day, every couple of days, how ever often they would like. Just been reading another site and interesting a lot saying the same thing changing linen daily, every couple of days etc is not a thing they would like. This was over 4 years ago even mentions Disney changed every 5 days. You might not lounge on the bed, we do for after arriving back on the ship and I imagine we’re not the only ones. It was too cold to spend a lot of time on the balcony last week. You again mention ‘changing linen daily, every couple of days’. Why? That wasn’t suggested on this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go on holiday for experiences which are better/different to our everyday life and we pay for it. Otherwise stay at home, cook your own food, clear your own table, wash your own dishes! Well we are all different,we go on holiday to see new & different places,often relaxing on the bed after sightseeing,I was brought up properly though so I certainly take my shoes off!😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus an increase in service charge for guests, so paying more for a poorer service. They state the change is due to their commitment to reducing impact on environment. 🤔 https://crew-center.com/norwegian-cruise-line-reduce-stateroom-cleaning-services Saving the environment is corporate claptrap used as an excuse to what they really mean is they are doing it to save money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they shouldn't. The best of London Hotels would never do this. What about a luxury department store like Harrod's? If your going to give up, on matching Cunard, why bother?

What about a luxury department store like Harrod's? If your going to give up, on matching Cunard, why bother? Not sure if I understand your rationale. All businesses need to maximise their profits. Put simply, that means increasing prices, or reducing costs. So, Harrods, Claridges etc increase prices, because their clientele do not care. Mass market companies, like P&O do not have that luxury, so they need to cut costs so as to still offer prices that are attractive to the mass market, but at the same time maintain their overall profitability . Therefore they have to reduce costs. Blimey, I'm going back in time to when I had to produce my annual departmental budget ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these things a sign of someone at P&O listening to concerns expressed on this and other sites?? Discuss. I normally love the thought of afternoon tea on a non cruise holiday On my current Arvia holiday I'm genuinely struggling to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and fitting a mid afternoon snack in despite starting the day with breakfast at either 6.30am in the buffet and/or 7am at Quays I feel guilty eating the snack mid afternoon as it is What do you guys sacrifice to be able to eat afternoon tea? Or do you manage to eat all of the above and afternoon tea as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
