momneedsavacation Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 it's been awhile since I have cruised. What requests can you/do you make of the cabin attendant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Extra towels, fill the bucket with ice in the room are the two we always ask for. deep1, WAAAYTOOO, cruisellama and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG Cruiser Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I often have to ask for a bathrobe, a benefit for Platinum and above. Then like Matt, bucket of ice, especially at night. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJones Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Extra towels, ice bucket, wine glasses, maybe a corkscrew if I've forgotten to pack one. Combine/separate the beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharla Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I always ask for an extra blanket. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimnKathy Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Fresh ice, extra hangers and wine glasses. I always like to give our attendant $20 on the first day while making these requests...their smiling reactions are awesome!

smokeybandit Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Our basis of if we're going to get above and beyond service from the stateroom attendant is if they remember to bring us daily ice. Sadly this rarely gets remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Pillows and ice. Art on Allure was really on it with the ice. He also kept all my extra pillows together when he made the beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us it is an extension lead, mattress topper, and robes. Then depending on the wife's mood, either beds together or separated.

Gie Brown Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 OMG good ideas. I write a letter with my requests of 2 extra pillow, more towels (2 sets each), I need two sheets and one blanket (for my air mattress that I use on the balcony) I ask for all seating to be covered with a bed sheet (because they are mostly fabric). If I am not in a JR suite, I requests our robes. THEN, I put $20 in the envelope...first day. CruisingOz and Pooch 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Soft pillows, blanket, ice…extra hangers (especially on b2b)…occasionally a mattress topper if needed. CruisingOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Has anyone successfully gotten a true mattress topper recently ? I know that they quit giving the foam ones out a while back. I wondered if they had started giving them out again. A couple of times the room attendant would throw a couple of folded futon covers under the bottom sheet which was minimal relief.

On board the Anthem…while walking the hallway today after embarkation, I saw them delivering a couple of foam mattress toppers to a few rooms in a row. They all appeared new, wrapped in plastic. Apparently a lot a hard beds! **I actually looked for them to find you an answer! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our experience on the Harmony in late 2019 was the same -- no mattress topper but maybe an extra comforter. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafarer Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 A half dozen gratuity envelopes, for additional staff recognition. barbeyg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkg276 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 We ask for the ice daily, our comp platinum robes and a small fan all while handing the attendant a $20 bill. Will try out the mattress topper New Years Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, ice in the bucket daily, drinking glasses, sometimes hangers, and an extension cord for hubby’s CPAP. I currently miss Marva from Oasis. She was lovely, and took care of us exceptionally well last week on all our requests . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryAA Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 A few weeks ago, I gave our attendant significantly more than $20 to prime the pump. I ended up on the sofabed on the other side of the divider wall in our GS cabin due to a snoring wife. Our attendant gave me a couple comforters to use as a mattress pad on the hard sofabed. He bent over backwards the entire week providing ice, pool towels, and timing the cleaning perfectly. CruisingOz……..take note on the comforters on the sofabed, you might end up there!

Ray Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Never asked for anything! TBH you could have put 2 people in front of me and asked me who my cabin attendant was and i wouldnt have been able to tell you! As long as beds made thats all we need.
