Cruise Guests Can Request Free In-Cabin Extras
Bed changes, robes, slippers, hangers, cribs and some breakfast deliveries may be available without charge, even when they are not already in a stateroom.
Cruise passengers may be able to request several complimentary amenities that are not automatically placed in their cabins. Available extras can include custom bed arrangements, robes, slippers, additional clothes hangers and portable cribs.
Travel advisor Deborah Director said guests who want a queen bed separated into two twins, or twin beds combined into a queen, can ask their cabin steward on embarkation day. Cabin crew can also provide extra wooden or wire hangers.
Robes and slippers are typically standard amenities in premium cabins, while many mainstream cruise lines keep them available for other guests who request them.
Many cruise lines also provide complimentary delivery of a continental breakfast featuring coffee, pastries, fruit and juice. Specialty room-service selections may cost extra, and convenience fees can apply outside breakfast hours. Standard hot meals or late-night room-service orders on mainstream lines often carry a fee ranging from $7.95 to $9.95 per order. Cash gratuities for crew members making deliveries are not included.
