Take towel off ship?

[sailing canary]

Hi

Can I take a towel off the ship when we have a day on Mystery Island? I don't want to have to pack a beach towel for just one day.

Thanks

Yes, they usually have table of them right as you are getting off the ship

[Outerdog]

Yes.

 

Also, pool towels make fantastic souvenirs.

Princess has piles of the ship's pool towels with blue stripes rolled up on a table for passengers to take as they get off the ship at ports with beaches.  There's usually a used towel bin for you to deposit your used towels past security as you re embark the ship.  If not, bring them back to your cabin and your cabin steward can collect them from there.

 

Princess is generous with pool towel use, so please be respectful and bring your towels back to the ship and leave them on the ship at the end of your cruise.  To Alaska this summer on the Majestic,  deck crew made passengers checkout the red plaid blankets because large numbers of them started to become unaccounted for.  RC keeps tabs and charges $25 for every pool towel that doesn't come back.

Best part is you don't have to wash them.

For some of the Princess towels it is better to NOT return them to the ship. Better for a beach fire or so. 😁

I learn something new every day. 😄

Best to just request from you cabin attendant.

It should be more obvious as to whom one is calling the stick.

I would get a towel from the pool area the day before.  Sometimes, there are no towels at the exit.

Plus the fact that you'll have to pack them away in the moving line.

Please don’t do this because one thing that I absolutely hate with Royal Caribbean is that you have to check out towels because of this very reason.  I hope Princess never feels the need to start this. I know you are just kidding but I had to say it. 😊

I'll bet you don't see to many towels holding a chair by the pool. 😄

Eliminates chair hogs unless you want to be charged $25 for a towel.

That’s true. I really hated waiting in line each time to checkout and return a towel. But you’re definitely correct about the chair hogs.

Not true.  They'll find another object to put on the chair...pool floats, clothing, flip-flops, plates of food.  Chair hogs still exist on lines that keep tabs on pool towels.  Such is the case with RC.
