dianajo67 Posted June 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Guess the title gave away the question! I’m asking the question as I know many, if not most, European hotels do not provide washcloths! Since Royal provides kettles in some stateroom categories for European cruises, but not for US based cruises, I thought they might also follow the washcloth “rule” as well. Please advise to help us with packing for our first European cruise…Odyssey from Rome! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted June 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2022 RC will happily provide washcloths in your stateroom on the Odyssey. 🙂 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted June 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I was on Brilliance and Wonder in Europe last month and there were washcloths on both ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted June 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2022 RCI does fleetwide regardless of location. I always take one with me just in case our European hotel doesn't have them. Didn't even think of this until one of my first stays in Barcelona..I asked and they had no idea what I was talking about 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cublet Posted June 27, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Hello, 'Washcloth' I do not know about. 'Facecloth' = 'Flannel' is for personal use and is available if not already in your stateroom bathroom. 'Dishcloth' is for washing dishes and is not provided (so I take my own).

FamilyCruiserUK Posted June 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2022 As above i had no idea what a washcloth was but am guessing you mean flannel (Uk name for a small towel to use to wash face and other places). A few different size towels found in the bathroom, however i do find the larger shower towel small, prob a UK medium towel in size. Not a bath towel size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted June 27, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2022 On a recent Harmony cruise we had washcloths or flannel's. They were rolled up and placed on our bathroom sink and not hanging with the other towels. I usually bring a scrunchie/loofah so only use the "washcloths" as a hand towel.

They work great to keep the luggage weight down but aren’t quite as nice as cloth. I use them to wash my face when I’m not able to jump in the shower. Glad I don’t have to pack real ones for the cruise. Trying to stay with one suitcase and backpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My packing won't be that light. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truffles2 Posted June 27, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Before we started cruising, I did a lot of land tours in Europe. I would cut up an old worn bath towel into the number of days I would be gone and use those as “wash cloths”. Throw them away after use to make room for incidental purchases.
