Thanks John. That is cool!!! Look forward to those kind of "extras" on our trip. Was on Grand Princess 2 years ago and never had one towel animal in my room!!

On HAL they have a class available (I don't think it's mandatory) for the cabin stewards to teach them how to make different animals, but yet each steward seems to make them just a little different.

On the 2nd or 3rd night they'll start out with a very simple seal/walrus, and get progressively more complex: pig/dog (DW and I can't agree), swan, elephant, rabbit, monkey ... and I don't know what else on cruises longer than 10 nights!

Let's hear from somebody who has been on longer cruises. :confused: :confused:

Princess just doesn't do towel animals.

That is definitely a Monkey, not a chicken

Interesting! I have yet to see several of those! Thank you! :o

We often didn't use the animal towels, and wondered if they got "recycled" to another cabin nearby or in another week. Thoughts?

At the end of the cruise, our room was packed with animals. When we have done back-to-back cruises, we end up with 2 of everything. The cabins stewards take all the towels and they are washed before they make new animals for the next set of passengers. They don't expect you to use them.

Well, I'm looking forward to the pampering and surprises.

On our Oosterdam cruise in April, there was a class in the Queen's Lounge for passengers, that showed how to make a couple of the simpler towel animals. They even had a photocopied handout of instructions. My wife went to the class, but she never makes towel animals at home. :(
