As long as the people are staying in the room, I would think they would be able to get one.

okay, thats fine but sad

You can buy the robes in the gift shop if you want them to keep.  Your suite robes are just for on ship use.

If there are 3 people booked in the suite, there will be 3 robes.  We had 4 in March and each had a robe in the closet.  Not sure why you think there won’t be enough.

perhaps experience/training issues

The robes should be there based on the number of people on the reservation. If not you can ask your Stateroom Attendant.

You can't take te bathrobes home with you, even if you're staying on a suite. If there are 3 persons on the reservation there should be at least 3 bathrobes available on the suite, why there wouldn't be enough robes for all of you?.

 

P.S. It's not a "cleaner", the position is called Stateroom attendant.

Sad? Sorry, I am confused, are you saying that it’s sad that you can’t take them home for free? I realize that I must be misunderstanding.

I don't think OP understood the robes are not free to keep.  They will definitely charge you if you try to take those home.  Same like the pool towels.

Well yes of course they would, I think they are around $80 each. As would be the case with a cruise ship or hotel of any kind. But honestly I assumed that I was misunderstanding what the OP was sad about because I could not really imagine someone thinking they were free. Thus I asked for some clarification. 

[Mike n Ky]

As to the robes being free...I did get a free one but my dad gave it to me. My wife always uses them on the ship but I never have. But as I sit here typing this I can see the RC robe I got from my father and plan to use it when the cold weather rolls in.

Agreed. "Cleaner" feels very disrespectful for their effort, workload, and kindness. Stateroom attendant.

[Audrey V.]

Stateroom Attendants do a lot more than clean, and can be your eyes and ears on the ship. Not only do they make sure your Stateroom is in order twice a day, they learn your preferences and bring to your attention the Compass and ship news, fresh glasses (including wine glasses if requested), evening turndown, etc. They will also help if you do not want to keep things (e.g., dressy clothes or a souvenir no longer wanted.

evening turndown,

Three cruises this year - not a single example of turndown service was experienced. The bed looked the same when we returned at night as it did a noon.

Thats unfortunate.  We've done 2 cruises this year and we have gotten turndown service every single night with towel animals, cleaning, printed cruise compass for next day, extras, etc...  Did you speak to the stateroom attendant as to why you weren't getting turndown service?

We got cruise compasses and towel animals (every other night unlike the nightly in the past). Just no turndown of the bed.

[Audrey V.]

My kid when he was 8 once complained about turndown service at an Omni because they gave soothing lotion instead of a chocolate.  We started camping and staying in hostels more. 

By turndown service, I did not mean moving the sheets back, but the Stateroom Attendent freshens the sheets if you have an afternoon nap,  puts a Compass and a towel animal in a charming way near the bed. They also give fresh towels and remove the garbage in the eveningand in the morning. If glasses were used, they take away the old glasses and put new glasses and coasters. I am not staying in a Suite, but a regular room. 

 

[Audrey V.]

They also teach the towel folding program.

Then you meant "evening refresh." THAT we got every night (except the one time we forgot to remove our "Sleeping off the adventure" door sign.

True turndown service is something we always had before Covid, never since.

I saw cleaner and thought of a packing hack that I used when I was traveling for work.

Take your suits, dresses or sports coat to the cleaners before you travel.  Leave the garment in the plastic bag that they use when you pick up your stuff and then fold it gently and put into your suitcase.  The bag cuts down on wrinkling and you know that your clothes are fresh.

can confirm that i actually save dry cleaner bags and pack my hanging clothes this way in my checked luggage. it does allow for some wrinkles but the great thing about the caribbean is that its usually humid enough outside (or with a hot shower) that you can get most of it to release. i think we have fabric release spray too just in case that didn't work but i've never actually used it

[Pooch]

I pack everything in dry cleaner or similar bags.  It cuts down on wrinkles and, when/if TSA opens your bag for inspection, they don’t actually touch your clothes.  I then line the drawers with the bags before unpacking.
