Sunic1968 Posted December 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Do princess provide tote bags in cabins for daily use? Also are towels pool side or in cabin? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenpaw Posted December 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2016 On the Royal now! We had a tote bag in the room the first day. Pool towels on deck and beach towels for on shore use at the gangway when we disembark. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times Prince Posted December 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Pool towels in cabin too. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Forums mobile app This is no longer the standard, as experienced on both Caribbean Princess and Royal Princess: the towels are not provided in the cabin. Blue striped beach towels are available on deck by the pools, and are available at the gangway during port visits. Both locations have a Used Towel return rack - so the towels do not ever have to go back into your cabin ( a good idea to prevent spread of illness ). For beach / snorkeling excursions I typically get towels from the pool area so I can pack into my day pack or Princess bag, avoiding having to do this is the Deck 4 disembarkation area.

I beg to differ: On the Crown last month and the Star last week, pool/beach towels were provided IN our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted December 24, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 24, 2016 We've always had beach towels IN our cabin on Princess cruises. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted December 24, 2016 #11 Share Posted December 24, 2016 If you need towels just go up to the pool area someone leaves towels on most of the lounge chairs early in the morning for you to take. :) :) The only one not smiling is the person that does it.

GUT2407 Posted December 24, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Do princess provide tote bags in cabins for daily use? Also are towels pool side or in cabin? Thanks Got a tote bag last week There was one pool towel in our cabin, plenty around the pool as well. Don't recall a pool towel in our cabin on previous cruises.

We were on the Caribbean Princess this month in the Caribbean and they did not put beach towels in our cabin the night before we were in port. Nor did they have beach towels there at the disembarkation station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had pool towels in our cabin on the Regal when we embarked. If you don't have them I'm sure your steward would provide them or you can grab a few by the pool areas.

Rare foodsvcmgr Posted December 24, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Apparently widely variable between ships. On RUBY in November no beach towels in cabin or at the gangway, had to grab your own from the Pool area. Had never experienced this on any other ships. Rather inconvenient.

Agreed, from the comments below. Princess is inconsistent on this new policy. Apparently they are trying it out to see what kind of complaints arise. On Caribbean Princess early in this year, the steward was unhappy and apologized because he was not allowed to put beach towels in the cabin with the new policy, even though that was his norm to keep customers happy. I had to go on deck by the pool to get towels. On Royal Princess last week the situation was as I described in my original response. We have received tote bags on each cruise.

OCruisers Posted December 25, 2016 #17 Share Posted December 25, 2016 We've always had beach towels in our cabin on Princess ship but have not on some other cruise lines. It's no huge big deal BUT it is so much more convenient to have them in our cabin. It's a pain to have to go get them. :( We'll be on Caribbean Princess in January so will report back if the policy on that ship continues to be "no beach towels in cabins".

floridalover5623 Posted December 25, 2016 #18 Share Posted December 25, 2016 A little inconvenient but I just grabbed a half dozen every so often & stored them on our shelf to pack each day. There softer than the bath towels they give you to use anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuLu I began thinking about this. I have always (?) had towels in the room until this past September on the Grand. Maybe because it was Alaska? Is this another cut back for whatever reason?

cb at sea Posted December 25, 2016 #20 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) There are pool/beach towels on EVERY cruise line...no need to bring them. Whether they're in your cabin or on the pool deck...they have them for your use! I do always bring my own "tote"....packs flat!

The only problem with getting them when leaving the ship is it forces you to pack them in your travel bag standing in line while moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34TigerLily Posted December 26, 2016 #24 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Last week on the Caribbean Princess, I left a note in my stateroom for the room steward asking him to leave beach towels that evening. We had them when we returned from dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
