ColleenThomas Posted February 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have always brought my own beach towels on a cruise....I am wondering now with all the fees for luggage if this is really necessary? Can you "borrow" the towels from the ship? Is this ok? THanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name Of The Game Posted February 22, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2010 There are big thick (but yes heavy) beach towels provided in the cabin every day. We take those to the beach and keep getting fresh ones rather than bringing our own wet, sandy towels each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHiCrzr Posted February 22, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Leave them home - your cabin attendant will provide them for use on excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasnana Posted February 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2010 All the cruises i have been on supplied the beach towels for you. You give them room number they issue towels. Why would you bring your own and hang them up in your cabin wet? Better to leave them at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprg644 Posted February 22, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I would not pack beach towels, they take up too much room, IMO. You can use the nice ones from your room, just don't loose them or they will charge you for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColleenThomas Posted February 22, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I knew you all would know! Thank you for the prompt responses....we are in the midst of packing chaos and I am trying to conserve space!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Jag Posted February 22, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yes, the blue Carnival towels can be taken off the ship. If they are lost or stolen, your S&S card will be charged $22 per towel. Since we always drive to port, however, I pack some cheap $4 beach towels that I don't care about so we can use and abuse them while in port. If one gets lost or ratty, then no biggie. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umphreak2010 Posted February 22, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2010 FYI. You can check out additional beach towels using your s&s card on the Lido deck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Days Posted February 22, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Dont pack any. The ship will give you some to take on shore..just make sure you bring them back with you or they will charge you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMM Posted February 22, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Carnival has great beach towels in the cabin you can take to the pools or off on ports. Leave them on the floor and the cabin steward will replace them with fresh ones. If they are too big or you worry about loosing them, you can also take off the smaller white bath towels.

TheMurr Posted February 22, 2010 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I don't bring towels either. There's always lots of them sitting on empty chairs by the pool. Just help yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTTER Posted February 23, 2010 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I always like to bring my own towel and use Carnival's towel. That way, I lay my own towel down and is easy to find among all of the different carnival towels on the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted February 24, 2010 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've never packed my own towels to take on a cruise but rather use the ones provided by the cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_blond2 Posted February 24, 2010 #17 Share Posted February 24, 2010 No, you do not need to bring your beach towels! Carnival has them for you to use both on and off the ship. Just don't lose them, Carnival will charge you $22 per towel if they are not returned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conchead Posted February 24, 2010 #18 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Ummm, has anyone already mentioned that you can take them off the ship, but they will charge you if you lose them.:rolleyes: In fact during one of the often repeated talks you can see on your tv, the CD will tell you to take them, so that if you are too drunk to find your way back to the ship..just hold up your towell and the cabbies will bring you back.
