Vision OTS, A Towel Love Story

[Engineroom Snipe]

My recent voyage on the Vision was a hoot because Bryan, our Cabin Steward, brought some great towels to life and I appreciated his efforts.

 

On the first sea day morning, Bryan left us "Mister T." watching some TV.

 

 

 

 

I made him comfortable in his own custom bed.

 

 

Life was as good as it gets with unlimited beverages and snacks.

 

 

He even has his own perch in order to get a higher perspective on life.

 

 

 

But as with so many things in life, too much of anything can be a source of stomach and head aches.

 

 

 

 

And then Bryan created Miss T.

 

 

They hit it off immediately and a special dinner and show led to romance.

 

 

The next day, along came Baby T. and then there were three.

 

 

Family fun arrived on the Royal Caribbean Slides.

 

 

Bryan created a unique Teeter Tot Slide. SO COOL!

 

 

Every family needs a loyal pet and along comes Pet T. from Bryan.

 

 

Baby T  and Pet T get along famously. Pet T gives Baby T a waterfall at his bath time.

 

 

 

At the very end, they want to Stowaway with us but I ask them to stay so they can give joy and happiness to the next cabin visitors.

 

 

Bryan, of the Vision of the Seas, April 4th, 2024, embarkation,  THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES!

 

We had so much fun challenging each other. I will bring a higher game next year.

Super cute.  Our last cruise we didn’t get a single towel animal and I missed it!

Bryan threw down the towel gauntlet and we were game on!

 

I had a few cruises that had no towel animals.

 

We were both thinking all day long about how we were going to take it to the next level.

 

My wife and I were howling in laughter with his responses to our our presentations.

 

Just fun.

We had a great cruise until we had to say, "Au revoir."

 

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

 

I am going to study some towel animal techniques between now and my next cruise in November.

 

Imagine surprising the cabin attendant on the first day with towel animal staring him in the face on the bed.

 

😮

Very special because any normal towel would not support the load.

 

You have a keen eye.

 

Bryan placed a wiper like blade with a plastic bag to stiffen the board.

 

Genius.

 

"Defying Gravity".

Again, it was Bryan who made this such a great time. He brought game, big time.

 

@Sunshine3601, good eye on the extended towel teeter tot.

 

That is why I had to make it into a story.

 

A bit of appreciation for a staff member who did a great job.

I hope you were able to describe what he did in the survey.  That is so far above and beyond.  He should get praise for this. 🙂

Yes. I did. As much as possible. My CC review is an extension of trying to give him gratitude and celebrate his efforts.

 

Some people could care less about the art of towel animals. I wanted to show appreciation for the effort.

 

How many hotels have a critter in clean towel cotton fur waiting to welcome you into your room?

I saw what you did there.

 

Glad you enjoyed the cruise, in spite of all the uncertainly leading up to it.

Yes, thanks to some great CC members like yourself.

 

In the end, we make decisions to make the best of any situation we are given.

 

On a vacations, I expect the best but prepare for the worst scenarios.

 

Quite the opposite of being in the military on any given mission.

 

Thank you.

Great towel animals!  Thanks for sharing.
