Beach Towels

[Hobartsparents]

It's been a few years since we've sailed in the Caribbean and I'm trying to remember if I have taken beach towels or not. I know the ship provides towels for you to take ashore but I can't remember if they are big enough to use if you don't have a beach chair? I don't remember having to wash sandy towels but know I could if necessary on the Maasdam.

We did some beach stops on HAL in Nov and good sized blue towels were always available as we got off the ship and returned to a large laundry bin upon reboarding.

No need to bring them. Virtually all cruise lines provide them in some manner.

They are now asking for your cabin # (or at least they did on the N.A. in Feb.) and if you didn't bring them back they would charge you $20.

Thanks so much - I was pretty sure I didn't remember having to mess with sandy towels but DH wanted to be 100% sure!

They asked for cabin numbers on NA in December as well.

They did NOT ask for cabin #'s on Westerdam last week. They were available for you to take as you disembarked. Definitely large enough.

They didn't ask for cabin numbers on the Maasdam -- Feb/Mar.

Some inconsistency with the cabin numbers. they asked for ours but didn't ask fellow cc'ers right behind me:rolleyes: You can take more than one towel if you like, so I see no need to bring your own:)

They are good sized towels.

They asked room numbers on Nieuw Amsterdam Feb 19-26. One day getting back on board there was no-one taking down numbers for returned towels, we gave our numbers to a crew member just past security and he scribbled it on his hand someone :eek: It must have worked, we weren't charged anything. :)

 

I believe the towels are the same size as the pool towels on board, beach towels are light blue and the pool towels are dark blue.

on Maasdam in Feb, they asked for cabin numbers, which naturally slowed down getting off the ship .. then when we returned, no one asked for cabin numbers the first couple times .. but later in the cruise (14 days), they did ... not sure what to make if it, but it is not customer-friendly .. especially when one inspects the towels we got .. they ALWAYS were stained and ugly ... somewhat worn .. which is not a problem as long as they dont treat them as gold at our (timewise) expense.
