cperk97 Posted August 28, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We are going on the Jewel next week and I just want to make sure I have this info right. Towels for the beach, (if we end up stopping) you are supplied towels and if not returned you will be charged a fee, correct? and We are in a balcony room, are there robes in the room to use? Thanks so much for all your help, it is really appreciated. Jo Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can bring ship towels to GSC; however, I brought 2 old beach towels from home. They took up almost no room in the suitcase, I didn't care if they got lost; and they helped us find our chairs among all the blue & white stripe towels. Yes again. We were in balcony room 10132 and there were 2 light cotton robes in the closet. Have a wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHAM1 Posted August 28, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We saw several of the NCL towels left on the beach during our last cruise. I have also heard of people bringing an old bed sheet to put on the sand to give a larger surface to put the towels on. I can't see doing this because I would not want sand in my luggage but that's just me. There were robes in our balcony room on the Gem last time. Worked for me but too small for DH. He's not a robe kind of guy anyway so no loss there. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to bring it back. As for the robes - are they "one size fits most" or can you request a larger or smaller robe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted August 28, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 28, 2011 One size fits all. I'm 6' and 210 and it fit me with lots of extra room. Should fit most??? Two per room.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted August 28, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 28, 2011 As for the robes - are they "one size fits most" or can you request a larger or smaller robe? Being a big size I will say they are adequate IF you aren't going to be gauche and go to the pool in them. Fine to use to lie around the cabin in and dry off after a shower.

cndycruiser Posted August 29, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I do the "old bed sheet" idea and just bring a kitchen size garbage bag and take it home in that!. Sand doesn't really stick to a smooth sheet anyway, so it is not all "gross". It is so nice to have a large area to spread out towels and your misc. stuff without sand all over everything! Wouldn't do the beach without it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
