Napkins...really.

[SeattleAl]

OK, strange question, I know. I'm sailing on Ovation in August with my 18 mo old grandson. Being a normal 18 mo old, he needs a bib at meals. We're figuring a cloth napkin could work OK (and not require us bringing 30 bibs). I assume there are cloth napkins in the dining rooms, but are there cloth napkins in Windjammer?

 

Thanks for your help!

Yes, wrapped around the utensils.

Yes, there are.  They are wrapped around the flatware.

Yes, there are cloth napkins in the Windjammer too.  Why not just bring disposable bibs that you can throw away?  Stuff won't leak through them like it can on a cloth napkin.

Used them with my kids, plus they have a pocket to catch food. Definitely helps keeping food off of the floor.

My kids are now just past this stage, but my memories are still fresh enough that I strongly recommend bringing plastic bibs. They aren't expensive, won't take up much room, and will make the experience more enjoyable than trying to use cloth napkins.

I would just bring disposable bibs.

The cloth napkins they have are not absorbent at all. 

[Mum2Mercury]

I'd bring disposable bibs OR one good plastic bib (and enough diaper wipes to wipe it after every meal).

Bring your service dog. If asked what service the dog does, Proudly say; The dog keeps the floors clean.

True. Water will run off of them first before being absorbed.

I’ve noticed that also. What’s up with that? Sometimes I think they aren’t washed very well. 🤮

Doesn’t he also keep the bibs clean?

To me it's the same smell my wash and fold items have.

 

I don't do W&F anymore😉

Yep. Just watched a lady at lunch sitting next to us in WJ blow her nose into one. 🤮🤮

Doesn't need to be a service dog, just one's 'baby' who they can't be separated from.

It's really not much worse than wiping your mouth on it in terms of germs.

I’m not referring to germs. It is much worse when a person blows a load of snot into a napkin versus just wiping their mouth. I don’t hear the wiping of the mouth but blowing a load of snot sounds gross. To each their own.

 Would it sound less gross if they blew their nose into a kleenex?

You won't answer the question so you go to being offensive.  LOL.  It doesn't look good on you btw.

 

So, I guess you get up and run out of the room when you need to blow your nose.

Actually I do PLUS I wash my hands. Guess that makes me look bad too. 😉

Get out of the sand box and take your little pail and shovel with you

Can't you just tie the corner of the tablecloth around his neck?  Or just stick him over the side and shake the crumbs off??
