Royalnewbie96 29 Report post Posted October 4, 2019 Anyone know if the royal genie can arrange to have our bags unpacked and organized. I know this is more of a typical butler service and the genies are less of a butler and more of a planner. Just curious if anyone has used them for this or heard of them doing this.

Lovetocruise2002 8,202 Report post Posted October 4, 2019 I am not sure if it has ever been done but if you look at the literature, it does somewhat imply that they could. I have never heard of anyone actually doing this though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are going to have them unpack for us while we get massages! 1 1 Lovetocruise2002 and Baked Alaska reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WAAAYTOOO 6,933 Report post Posted October 4, 2019 While I guess it CAN be done, we have never asked for it to be done. I am too picky about my stuff and I would not be comfortable with anyone else unpacking for me....that's just me. If you are in a loft suite you need to make SURE that the Genie knows you want your bags taken upstairs. If you don't say anything to them your bags will be left downstairs. No bueno. 5 Baked Alaska, Vwjo, Pima1988 and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisK2793 211 Report post Posted October 5, 2019 Personally, I’d never want some random stranger to unpack and put my stuff away. I could see if it were your own personal butler at home who does that stuff for you all the time and knows how and where you like things, but I can’t see how a stranger putting your stuff where they think is good would be convenient. I’d be going crazy after trying to figure out where everything was. 3 USCG Teacher, ScooterScott22 and RWDW1204 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are going to keep our “delicates and personal items” in a small carry on and only have them unpack our main clothes that will be hung up in the wardrobe.

Just remember....your carry on is going to go through an x-ray scan. Some delicate and personal items stick out like a sore thumb.

BB1 114 Report post Posted October 5, 2019 I think people are missing a point. This is an option. For elderly and disabled people this is a wonderful service. If someone has it as a benefit that comes with their room and they want it done. It's their vacation. Let them do as they please. It certainly doesn't affect anyone else. 2 1 Baked Alaska, PRebecca and Lovetocruise2002 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BB1 114 Report post Posted October 5, 2019 I'm also a little confused. Has anyone had laundry done on a cruise? They're now handling your dirty clothes. Just as a disclaimer, I have never had anyone unpack for me but I did see it listed as a service for Celebrity and I'm pretty sure it is on most luxury lines.

I don’t disagree that for the cost of Star Class this is not really an unreasonable request and is truly viable for some guest as you mentioned. My comment, jokingly, was that it doesn’t seem terribly helpful for most. I don’t care what they touch and yes laundry gets done so they are touching everything anyway. If the OP wanted it done so they can go do something else, the problem is they have to orient themselves to where things were placed. I may like certain things together (socks and underclothes) or in a top drawer vs bottom drawer so aside from just finding things does it make sense to me. Not a big deal for me, or most people, but could be frustrating. 1 USCG Teacher reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
