figmentdj Posted April 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2016 First time on Regal in Nov. Two questions: 1. I keep reading bad reviews about the towels, i.e hard, scratchy, like Motel 6 towels etc. What's up? 2. Along the laundry lines, our last cruise was our first as Elite, we were on Emerald and the laundry benefit was awesome. I'm sure its based on the amount of Elites on board but what's your impression of Regal's laundry service? Quality, timing, etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted April 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2016 We were recently on the Royal Princess, sister of the Regal. Towels were fine. Elite laundry service was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slwmjd Posted April 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 8, 2016 The towels are fine on the Regal. Also laundry service is usually about 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherylandtk Posted April 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Laundry service turnaround does depend on the number of elites onboard. On the Diamond last month it was 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpnut Posted April 8, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Just off Regal and 75% of the towels we received are rough (but not quite sandpaper like most of the towels from our local gym) and 25% of them are new and soft. So obviously they have some legacy towels that are in the process of being replaced! :) Edited April 8, 2016 by Terpnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted April 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2016 We were on the Regal in February and the towels were similar to what we have had on other Princess cruises. I suppose though that what is rough to some is good to others. We were getting 2 day turnaround for elite laundry service. The clothes came back in great shape. Now if I could just get them to NOT press my jeans. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukesubsailor Posted April 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I don't care for the towels, even the ones in a suite. But then I am spoiled by the Cariloha bamboo towels we use at home. I never would have believed something made of bamboo could be so much softer than cotton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rilco33647 Posted April 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Just got off the Regal this past Sunday. The towels dried me when I was wet! They did their job. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted April 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ask for extra pool towels. They are often softer than those in the bathroom and they're like bath sheets. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendy Posted April 9, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Just got off the Regal this past Sunday. The towels dried me when I was wet! They did their job. :) And that's what they are meant to do. All fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted April 9, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Ask for extra pool towels. They are often softer than those in the bathroom and they're like bath sheets. :) That's what we did. The towels they left in the bathroom were pretty rough but for some reason the pool towels were better. The bath towels on the Royal were even worse.

kendon Posted April 9, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Just got off the Regal this past Sunday. The towels dried me when I was wet! They did their job. :) Yes, and they take some skin too. I don't sweat the small stuff, but geez...the bath towels are BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted April 9, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 9, 2016 One thing is for sure, no one will be packing any in their suitcases to take home. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 10, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I like slightly rough towels..they dry better than "fluffy", soft towels! If they are "scratchy"...just blot...that will dry you without removing your very sensitive skin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzG Posted April 10, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That's what we did. The towels they left in the bathroom were pretty rough but for some reason the pool towels were better.The bath towels on the Royal were even worse. When we were on the Royal British Isles/TA last fall we had the worst towels I've ever seen on a cruise ship with stains and small holes. Many of them were worse than the ones I use to wash my car. Luckily I bring my own towels because of my sensitive skin, but I felt sorry for dh. We had a rather lazy steward, but when I asked our table mates and other passengers most of them were unhappy with the towels, too. I hope our towels on the Ruby next month and the Regal in August are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
