Hiya Bernadette!
Is there anything better than sitting on a verandah with a beautiful view? Well yes, because you could be taking in the view while wearing a cozy robe!
The robes in the
"Luxury at Sea" packages are described as very plush and I can confirm that this has been the case recently. After checking around with some fellow panelists, I understand that the robes in the gift shop onboard have a sleek outer finish and a plush lining. My sailing pals agree that the robe in the shop is a little lighter, while the one in the preorder package is a bit more fluffy. Sounds like you can't go wrong!
Just remember, there's no guarantee that robes will be in stock in the shops and merchandise can change at any time. So if your heart is set on something cozy, I would preorder through
Onboard Gifts and enjoy! Whichever option you plan on, don't forget to leave plenty of space in your luggage for your new robe. They are both very cozy robes, but they are definitely not compact!
Do you know what goes really nicely with a new robe? Snacks! I love getting snuggled up in our stateroom and enjoying breakfast on the verandah.
Room service is here to make that happen! Even if you're planning to go have a larger breakfast or brunch, a nice pastry and juice or coffee is the perfect start to a day at sea.
May your entire cruise be filled with luxury, Bernadette!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
