Towels

Are there towels in the room to take into port like the other lines have?

Yes. They will be in your cabin for use at pool or ports. You can also exchange them for fresh ones right on the dock before you re-board the ship.

Not in Inside cabins but you can get them by asking your steward.

Never heard this before, are you sure that you are not mixing beach towels and bathrobes?

We always travel in an Inside cabin and get neither Beach/Pool Towels (which are striped for identification) nor Bathrobes in the cabin on boarding. We have to ask for them.

NCL towels aren't striped. They are solid blue.

They used to have blue and white stripes.

We were just on the getaway - the towels were in our room on arrival day - they had solid blue, green strips and blue stripes.

Crazy! The last 3 cruises we've seen nothing but the solid blue ones anywhere. (Getaway, Epic, and Escape). That's wild because we exchange several times each day on board or on the piers. I've never seen anything other than solid blue. We also use that to help ID which pier runners are heading for our ship. Lol!

We've never had blue towels. Ours are always green and white striped. We sail in an OV. Do different class cabins get different towels?

Inside cabins do not get robes, balconies and above do. Every cabin get beach/pool towels. If someone does not, it is just a matter of not having all the laundry completed at boarding and they will be made available shortly. All cabins get them!!

I can't imagine how. Isn't that weird? We always exchange at the towel exchange by the pools where there are nothing but stacks of blue. We've certainly never been asked what type of cabin we're in. So strange!

On the breakaway this past September our towels were green and white striped.

Very weird. We sailed the Getaway also and had the green and white striped. Exchange stations on all ships I've sailed so far have the striped towels.

So funny! (And I know we've strayed off topic and it isn't important anyway, just interesting). I've never ever seen any other than the ones in my picture. Have you ever seen those?

In November on Escape we had the ones like in my picture. Maybe they are old and the ships are changing them to striped? Such an inane discussion, but it's morning and I'm bored. Haha

No, I've never seen the blue ones at all. We just sailed last month on the Jewel too and again, green and white striped.

I'm excited to see what's on our upcoming cruise. If they are striped and also have the cool NCL logo like the blue ones, I might have to swipe/buy one. Lol!

Take pictures! Haha. Even our first cruise on NCL in 2012 had the striped towels.

I've googled now and seen the striped ones, in addition to the blue ones I posted above. I can't remember what we had on our first cruise 11 years ago, but the 3 between '14 & '15 had the blue. My life must be dull today since I'm interested in this. Haha!

This person's photos from Breakaway in 2013 have the blue.

All color combinations are used on Getaway currently, at first we had blue striped ones in out cabin and the towel exchange only had solid blues but later we saw a lot of green striped ones too (at least on pier towel exchange on one port day) and one day our room steward brought solid ones to our cabin as replacements for the blue striped ones we discarded.

IIRC no logo on the striped ones. I think that the solid blue ones are the best of the three "designs" - the striped ones are quite "meh" and have a lot more wear and tear.

Agreed. The blue ones are better quality. I've had both types on a variety of different ships.

There were beach towels in our inside cabin on the Jewel. They were green & white striped.

Maybe the newer ships are getting the solid blue towels.
