floridalover5623 Posted June 19, 2017 #76 Share Posted June 19, 2017 As well as my onboard gratuities I always leave my cabin steward 200 euros so think that is worth more than your $2 per animal. How muh do you leave Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk For towel animals? Absolutely nothing. But I do compensate the steward with other items that amounts to much more....plus he doesn't have to waste time with silliness. Enjoy your animals. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted June 19, 2017 #77 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I went to Alaska on the Star and I noticed we never got towel animals on our beds, does Princess not do towel animals anymore ? They never have. Once in a blue moon a rogue Stewart will create one. I hope it stays that way. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you would change your mindTony That may very well be true but the time to make the towel animal took away from time to do the evening work for the other 19-21 rooms assigned to your steward.

Get a life and worry about real things like terrorists or starving people not towel animals Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a steward,Denis, on our Ruby Alaska cruise who took the time, without being asked, to make 4 towel animals for our 2 granddaughters. They loved it and we appreciated the gesture with a good extra tip at the end. Do my hubby and I want towel animals every cruise? Absolutely NOT! But for our granddaughters enjoyment it was appreciated!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickels Posted June 20, 2017 #83 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well, in all honesty, I agree with the other poster, I can live without the towel animals. BUT, on one of our cruises, our cabin attendant blew us away. He made a full length towel animal, with crossed legs , eye glasses, holding the TV remote, the TV was on, and a sign, "I'm watching my shows; please be quiet"! My wife and I laughed so hard. We didn't see the towel animal on the couch at first, just wondered who left the TV on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorkelMoose Posted June 20, 2017 #88 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm 38 years old, and I love towel animals. Also, cabin stewards have the ability to do more than one thing. If he/she takes the time to make a towel animal, it doesn't mean that the room won't be cleaned. It's not an either/or situation.

I respectfully disagree. On our cruises, especially the B2B's, we try to get to know our attendants, and they genuinely seem to want their guests happy....if the guests are nice, friendly sorts at least:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamingOfLoveBoatDream Posted June 21, 2017 #95 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Half way through our most recent cruise, we realised we hadn't been getting the towel animals that we normally did. Maybe we've just been lucky as far as stewards liking folding fauna in the past (across P&O, RC, and Princess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserguy135 Posted June 21, 2017 #96 Share Posted June 21, 2017 We always get a few different towel animals when we travel with Princess Cruises, although we have only been on sailings out of Australia, so that may be a contributing factor.

PoohUnderstands Posted June 21, 2017 #98 Share Posted June 21, 2017 All it does is take valuable time from the stewards normal duties to wast time making meaningless ornaments for kids & people going through their second childhood. If you have ever gone to a show where they show you how to make these towel animals it literally takes them maybe at the most 30 seconds to make, literally. So really doesn't take from their time that much really, both personal or professional. Pooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it isnt about getting or not gerting towel animals. Its the attitude of some people on here moaning about grtting them. Even insisting the cabin steward take them away after he has made them. Some people are just unapreciative grouches that dont realize if somebody does something for you the polite thing to do is smile and say thank you Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
