Are the robes on Princess Cruises free?

The little extras you find in the best hotels ? fresh fruit (by request), available evening bed turn-down, complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body lotion ? are provided in every stateroom. Waffle weave cloth bathrobes are available upon request from your stateroom steward for your comfort and convenience.



On Princess Cruises in 2026, bathrobes are complimentary, but they are no longer automatically placed in every cabin. Guests in standard Interior, Oceanview, or Balcony rooms typically need to request them from their stateroom steward upon arrival. While they are free to use during the voyage, they are not a "take-home" souvenir; if you wish to keep one, you can purchase a new one from the onboard boutiques. For guests staying in higher-tier categories, such as Club Class Mini-Suites or Full Suites, premium robes and slippers are usually pre-placed in the room as part of the upgraded amenity package. In 2026, Princess has also streamlined its service through the MedallionClass app, allowing you to request "extra towels" or "robes" with a few taps on your phone. Note that while the robes are free to use, they may be subject to availability during high-occupancy sailings, so it's best to ask for them early in your cruise.

I usually dress for dinner, but they don't have to be completely different outfits for each evening. Usually a long skirt and a pair of dress pants, and 2 or 3 dressy tops (which are incredibly small when rolled) will do me for a week or 10-day cruise. For your 4-nighter, 1 or 2 evening outfits will be fine.
