Do they change and wash bedspreads between guests?

[Mommytofourkids]

I saw this thread from 2009 suggesting they don’t change or wash bedspreads between guests, just sheets

https://www.disboards.com/threads/are-bedspreads-washed-regularly.2113053/

Do you know if they wash all of the bedding including bedspreads before giving the room to the next batch of cruisers?

 

[DLgal]

I doubt it.

Yes. We pretty much take our time leaving on the day we leave. When we pass other staterooms with doors open, I will look and notice that all of the bedding, including bedspreads are removed.

Removed doesn't mean changed out. You also can't determine if they were washed after the sailing prior to the one you were on just by seeing them removed from the room.

This is my experience also.

Phew that’s good to know. Also I saw the disembarkation is 8am, are we allowed to leave later than that?

Yes. Second breakfast doesn't start until 8:15ish, usually. They'll want you off by 9:00 or 9:30, though.

You need to be out of your room by 8am, and generally off the ship by 9:30 or so. Departure day breakfast in the MDRs for main dining is around 7am, and starts at 8:15? for late dining.

Ohh that’s good to know, so for breakfast, do they assign the time you go? What if we prefer the later time as opposed to the earlier time?

Your breakfast time is determined by dinner seating - early or late. And you are assigned your last dinner MDR.

But check to see if Cabanas is open, too, if you don’t like the time. I don’t know what that current situation is or what it will be in the future.

 

[Chipmunkmaniac]

they don't advertise cabanas on debark day but it is open; they close the door between 8 and 8.15 and the food court by 8.30. they gently kick you out by 9.

If you have the first dinner seating, but don't want to go to the first breakfast on debarkation day, then you can ask your servers to prepare you a table for second breakfast. I've never heard of someone being denied that request.

If you’re concerned about the changing of the bed spread etc. between guests, just remove it from the bed as soon as you enter and put it off to the side. When you see your room steward ask if it was replaced with a new clean one after the prior guest. If not I’m sure they’ll get you a new one.

This is a game changer - thank you!!!

Ohh ok, then maybe we should keep our late dinner seating time, we are at the later dinner seating time, but on the waitlist for early seating. I would prefer to get the later time for disembarkation breakfast so we don’t feel rushed

 

[insureman]

So does anyone really know if they change out all the bedding?

But please ask. We had the people who had our server team for Early seating show up about 15 minutes before Late seating breakfast and somehow they got into the MDR. So they deprived us of our last meal with our server team. The head server was LIVID. They found us a different table, and the Head Server covered for our server and assistant server for a few minutes so they could come over and say goodbye.

Of course, you should ask. My serving team once offered us the opposite, which was a table at first seating when we were scheduled for second seating. I asked him if that would interfere with whoever was supposed to have first seating and he said that he'd just set up an extra table nearby. So, as long as the servers know what's happening, they can make it work. If they don't know, well, then they'll seat you somewhere else and someone will serve you.

The problem becomes finding a table and a serving team. You may end up at an "extra" table that nobody is assigned to serve, and it could be less-than-desirable service. I've read reports like that when people tried to change breakfast time on the last day. Your servers are assigned at set of tables; if all of those people come to debarkation breakfast, your servers may not have adequate time to serve you at an extra table.

If early breakfast doesn't fit your schedule, I recommend going to Cabanas by 8am on the last morning. Alternatively, you could order room-service for delivery the night before and just eat in your room before debarkation.

Phew that’s good to know. Also I saw the disembarkation is 8am, are we allowed to leave later than that?

You need to vacate your stateroom by 8am, and they ask everyone to be off the ship right after breakfast. By 9am they'll be encouraging you to get off, by 9:30 they'll be strongly encouraging you to leave. Nothing is open on the ship that last morning, so there's nothing to hang out and do; after eating breakfast everybody essentially joins the line to debark.

We have late dinner seating on the Wish and we are taking Disney transport to the airport at disembarkation. If our disembarkation breakfast time is 8:15, will we actually have enough time to do breakfast before boarding the Disney bus? If that's not doable, how are the options at Marceline Market? I'd like to have something more substantial than room service cereal ordered the previous night since I don't know if we'll have time for a meal at the airport before our flight.
