I wonder what the 'wastage' figure is for towels. The ship starts the week with 10,000 towels - how many end up in suitcases, left on the beach, blown overboard leaving what number at the end? Is it worth going through the list facade, staffing that function etc?
Many lines, hotels, resorts are not so precious about towels - it just cheapens the experience for me standing in line to sign out something basic and simple like a towel. Do they inventory the towels in the cabins too? Steward put 6 in but only scooped 5 up off the floor so you get charged for the 'missing' one?
