Haven't seen it before either. You'll need to try it and let us know if it actually works and they do deliver.

Good idea

No, I’m on 4g data roaming and I’ve submitted my order! 
 

Will let you know if they turn up!

They had that option when I was on Enchantment in August.  I didn't try it as I already had towels.

That's why I asked - not very useful if you need an off the ship data connection to order.

Seems like useless work for the crew.  

I get two towels on the first day, and I never turn them in -- until the end of the cruise, obviously.  I just "exchange" for fresh towels and take them back to my room.  This means I always have fresh towels first thing in the morning or late at night.  

Fewer times in and out of the system = fewer opportunities for mistakes.

Hmmm. Every morning when I get up there are hundreds of towels laying on chairs ready for me to take. 🙂

I'm with you. I never check out a towel.  If I spot a chair hog nest on the way to breakfast and if it's still there an hour later, it's mine.  Sometimes the free towels even come with complimentary reading materials.😁

Can you please keep a towel to let us know if they charge an automatic gratuity?

And sometimes nice towel clips.

The exact reason I don't understand when people say they need to bring flip flops on their cruises.

The departure questionnaire is a "forms" URL and works on free Royal Wifi.

We had this on Navigator 2 weeks ago.

[Preziosa]

We had it on Brilliance in September. We Got the advice from Our tourguide not to use it. Use the old system with your cruisecard on the sundeck when you Want a towel. Too many mistakes in the new system.

And hopefully, the chair hog gets charged for the towel.

Chair hogs get a sun bed as well

It's a nice service, but a pointless one. You're simply having to carry towels for a longer distance. And there's always a checkout station by the gangway.

 

Oh, and for those celebrating free towels and towel clips. As much as I'm on your side when it comes to chair hogging, I do have to point out the hundreds of small cameras all over the ship. That's before we discuss contagious skin conditions...

No, no, when you see novels laying about, you're supposed to pull out the last half dozen pages!

Can't charge you for something you never checked out!

And I wear a 7 -- the most common ladies' size!

No sympathy from me. 

[little britain]

Following morning: no towel delivery yet. 

[perfect match]

We tried this on Harmony and only got half the towels we ordered for one of our excursions. We ended up going up to the pool deck anyway to get the towels we needed. Good thing we did because there were no towels available at the gangway available for check out. 
 

We did order our towels using ship’s WiFi, made sure all of our towels were scanned back in, so no charges for pool towels to our account. 

[little britain]

I spoke too soon!

Towels just arrived!

That is why they closed the library.  Too many "props" taken for chair hogs.  😉
