Towels off the ship

[PATRIOTSRULE]

Can you bring towels from the ship with you to excursions or is it best to bring your own towels from home. I really don't want to bring my own beach towels on the cruise but will if I have to.

The in-room towels that your steward will provide (the large, blue ones) are for use at the pool and you can take them off the ship. Just be sure you don't lose them or you will be charged for replacement.

Yes, you can take the blue towels. If you do not bring them back they will charge you $22 each. I took the blue towels off for both of our excursions.

[Gil40]

Yes you can, no problem.

J ust do not take the big blues ones or they will chase after you until they get them back.

We brought our own towels with us for our snorkeling excursion. They were just some thinner-worn regular bath towels not beach towels. We just wanted them to serve the purpose. We desired something that would fold up small and fit in the backpack that we used for our excursion. The blue beach towels that Carnival provides are very nice and fluffy and are hard to fold and fit in a carry off back when going to port, especially if you may need two or more towels. Another thing is that those blue towels all look the same so someone on the boat or beach may mistake it for thiers and then you could be out $22. At the end of the cruise, you can easily just toss the towels or use them to wrap around some souvenir items. :)

A sarong takes up a lot less room than a towel and is fine for sitting on or using to dry yourself off. They dry really quickly too

You can either take the large blue "Carnival" towels that are sitting on your cabin's couch (spare chair, etc), or you can take two bath towels from the bathroom with you. If the bath towels are swiped you are not charged for them, whereas if you lose one of the blue towels you are SOL...
