Is it necessary to bring beach towels.

[deborahjo]

No. we use Carnival towels from our cabin going off ship. On ship we just check one out at the towel hut and return it.

To simply answer the question, it is not necessary. The ones carnival provides are great and they take away the dirty ones from your room and give you new ones.

We always take cheap towels with us.

hello!!! look above, microfiber towels take no more room than a t-shirt, no lugging

 

Which means they won't even dry the humidity in the air.

 

And then they're dirty.

take the microfiber in the shower, soap and rinse it out, they dry very quickly, unlike terry cloth. We always sail on balconies, so we throw it over a chair, dries in an hour.

No, you can use theirs

I always use the Carnival Beach towels for the shower as the regular towels are just about large enough to dry my hair. I bring my bright beach towels from home. I can always find them on the deck or beach because they are bright yellow and bright green. I don't have to fly so I can afford the extra weight.

since no one responded to microfiber towels, here you go:

they are great!

 

I have a few of this brand and a couple of others. They are the best ! Small to carry in port and dry quickly. Also, when they are damp they make really a really nice way to shade your skin if you are stuck in a hot spot on your way back from the beach etc.. These dry very quickly, even inside a cabin and I have never had to take a damp one home from a cruise. Highly recommend. I also like the snap loop on the corner. Saved mine from blowing away on many occasions and avoids needing towel clips.

 

Here is the other brand that I have. Better price than the Raqpaks

It seems as though you may not have actually tried the microfiber towels. They are super absorbent and dry quickly. Unless you are using them to clean up filth,then they aren't going to get filthy either. If needed you could take them in the shower with you and rinse. They will be dry by the next day when you need them.

What do you use for a beach blanket?

[sunlite]

I bring smaller ones to carry off the ship as carnival towels are huge and heavy, especially when damp. I only use theirs on the ship. As for washing- nope just let them air dry in the sun or on the balcony.

We use the microfiber towel as a beach towel, they are huge, 3'x5', honestly, we are sailors and they are invaluable.

It's not necessary.
