surgie Posted May 14 #1 Share Posted May 14 I know it's early in the season, but are the blankets available on Radiance for those who pre-purchased them? I purchased blankets for our 4 cabins for a July 12 cruise. I know last year many people reported not getting them even though they were pre-ordered. Just wondering what is happening so far. Thanks!

Thanks! wow, do you know if those that did not get them onboard were offered a refund? I only ordered one for wife to be able to use it onboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATG Posted May 14 #5 Share Posted May 14 Each cruise I’ve been on l have asked our cabin steward for 2 blankets. Each time they bring them. No issues. We get one to replace the duvet and another for the couch. I can’t imagine buying them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask the steward for more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 14 #7 Share Posted May 14 We bought one a couple years ago. Actually a nice blanket. Good for looking at the scenery on the balcony. I don't think you'd really need one in the room itself though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a shortage of the product. Some ships had them and others did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm sure I don't but I purchased one for each of the grandkids to use on the ship and have as a souvenir (which I'll be packing to bring home in compression bags).

They call them blankets, but "fleece wrap" would probably be a better term-if its chilly on deck or on the balcony and they have the royal logo,so it would also be a nice souvenir. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cello56 Posted May 15 #15 Share Posted May 15 Oh! I see they are only available for Alaska cruises. That is why they are not on my cruise planners! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - fleece wrap is a much better name! I wish they were a bit smaller, more like a throw than a twin size bed blanket. But awhile back they were offered at a pretty good discount so we'll see if they actually have them when we board. They are supposed to be in the cabins with the the kids' names on the packaging.

LeeW Posted May 18 #18 Share Posted May 18 In Alaska you can also check out Pendleton-style blankets for use on the ship. Same as towels - they must be returned at the end of the cruise. We haven't tried the purchased ones yet since we really don't want to mess with adding them to luggage for flights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the downside but I'm getting them as souvenirs for the grandkids. I plan to bring some compression bags and a packable duffel to haul them home. Kind of a pain but the blankets will be a nice memory for their first cruise. But if they run out of them like they did last year, then we'll go to plan B.

dolphingirl47 Posted May 18 #20 Share Posted May 18 We just got back from a back to back cruise on Radiance and I saw a few photos with them on beds. I would have loved to order one, but with having to pack for a three week cold weather vacation with international flights, it just was not an option.

We do get 2 free checked bags each with our airline and heading home soon after the cruise. I know the kids will love them but the parents' first thought will be - oh no, how will we get these home?!! So I thought Nana better take responsibility lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
