luckyinpa Posted January 9, 2017 #51 Share Posted January 9, 2017 proof towel animals matter http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2440144 CONS * Too many people * Too many people * Waiting in lines * Making reservations for everything * Not friendly workers (there were a handful) * Not friendly passengers as on other ships * Not enough elevators * Slow service * Room stewards not very good or non-existence (I only got 4 towel animals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niffernay Posted January 9, 2017 #52 Share Posted January 9, 2017 STICK-ON EYESI found, what me wife calls, "a stupid gift" for the steward on our upcoming cruise. These are great. I'm stealing your idea if you don't mind. I'm always looking for things that are out of the ordinary to bring for the cruise staff. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie3fan Posted January 9, 2017 #53 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I LOVE my towel animals! I keep them and make a zoo. Our last cruise was a B2B with a cabin change and I didn't bring the towel animals to the new cabin, so each zoo was a managable size. I also leave our room stewart an animal of my own making towards the end of the cruise with a note asking if they know what it is. I loosely arrange a hand towel in a little heap on the bed with 2 eyes in odd places. It's road kill, and they seem to really get a kick out of it! Here are my two different zoos.

beepeenjimbo Posted January 13, 2017 #58 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I chuck mine on the floor so that I can stagger to the loo during the night, get my foot caught in it, trip, smash my toe against the wardrobe, and break it ( my toe that is ) Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted January 13, 2017 #59 Share Posted January 13, 2017 We came back to the cabin on the last night a while back and found this. Our cabin steward said he was so embarrassed and ashamed by them. [/url] This is exactly why, despite the repetition, we would never tell our steward not to make them. You never know when you will get that creative person who comes up with something fun and different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted January 13, 2017 #60 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you, luckyinpa. These pictures made my day! you are welcome. i may have to book the carnival pride based on those pics alone :) plus cheaper parking out of balt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetylori Posted January 13, 2017 #61 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) This thread is almost as much fun as seeing towel animals in person...thanks everyone for all the smiles! I even learned something, as I didn't know we could keep them. I've always had them disappear the next day. I guess you have to move it to the sofa or desk to keep the Steward from removing them? It's the only thing I slightly missed on our recent Celebrity cruise. Edited January 13, 2017 by tweetylori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted January 13, 2017 #62 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sometimes the steward will remove them even if you move them. But, my experience has been that most will leave them if you put them elsewhere and they realize you're "displaying" them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davechipp74 Posted January 13, 2017 #63 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I always intend to tell the room steward not to worry about it. (try to make his/her job as easy as possible, I been fortunate to cruise a lot) However the last 4 or so cruises I was on, it was her first cruise, so who am I to deny the full cruise experience ?

swifty Posted January 14, 2017 #64 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I tell the steward not to make any towel animals. Call me a germ phobe, but I don't want the towels that will need to use all man handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisakoivu Posted January 14, 2017 #65 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I find this thread amazing. It never occurred to me to do anything other than dry myself off with them, since they are towels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie3fan Posted January 14, 2017 #66 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've never thought to unroll the animals to use them as towels. I think the stewards sometimes move the animals from one room to another if the cabin isn't saving them for a zoo. Plus I've always still had the full number of towels in the bathroom in addition to the towel animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sissaaaaaa Posted January 15, 2017 #67 Share Posted January 15, 2017 You all KEEP them? I find I need those towels...I undo the animals and use the towels!! And, I know I've never taken a picture of them..... We undo the animals now. When my daughter was younger, we kept them alllll week long LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissaaaaaa Posted January 15, 2017 #69 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I don't know why anyone would have to use the towels from the animals since there are always towels in the bathroom. On our most recent cruise two weeks ago, the animals were made from the allotted cabin towels. Wasn't an issue as there were plenty, but this may be something they are doing now.

julie3fan Posted January 15, 2017 #71 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I guess I don't understand why you hope I'm wrong? Some of our animals are held together with rubberbands or tape, and maybe have sunglasses perched on them, or holding a remote or magazine. They surely wouldn't expect us to untape them to use them, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
