Carnival Towel Animals

[Babynan]

Hi.
Does anyone know if Carnival cabin stewards still make the towel animals?

The reason I ask, is our daughter has just come back from a cruise with P&O from Southampton to Amsterdam and Bruges, and she said they stopped doing them.

I was surprised, because I know that Carnival own P&O, and they always used to do them.

Thanks
James

Yes, they do. On some ships they have Lido Deck towel animal pool take over.

Other lines are discontinuing them (NCL, I know for sure), saying that they create too much laundry.

To my knowledge, Carnival is still doing them.

Thanks for the quick replies. Herself will be very pleased. She said she always loved coming back to the cabin to see what animal has been made.

They are still doing them but you may want to ask your room steward just in case (as they may be doing them on request )

And you might have to ask your room steward what it is....They don't do them on HAL or Princess either (both in Carnival family of lines) but I suspect if you had a young child and the steward knew how to make some, they might...EM

We were on the HAL Nieuw Statendam in February and they were doing them then. We loved them!

On our last cruise in March we had one every other night.

It depends...if you purchase FTTF (Folding to the Fun), you will be guaranteed to receive one upon embarkation and then every night in your room after pm turn down service

If you elect not to purchase FTTF, then you will have the option of purchasing the DIY book from your room steward.  The book is $15.95 plus 18% gratuity.  If purchased in port you may be subject to local state taxes as well.

YMMV!😉

And I thought FTTF meant Faster to the Food!

My last three stewards have been using the same towel and changing it up each day.

They  are still doing them and the extra towels come in handy since the cut the number of times cleaning the rooms.

The towel animal takeover get large!! 

[Joebucks]

They are still doing them. I enjoy them.

 

I do feel that the days of towel animals are coming to an end. NCL started it. Other lines will likely follow suit. It's just a matter of when.

I always request no animals. Feel it's a waste of time, resources, and space. Guess I'm just a party pooper.

On our upcoming cruise we have 2 cabins- I'll ask the steward to make sure our cabin with my grandson has a towel animal every day, but let him know he can always skip ours- been there, done that. But I'm looking forward to seeing my grandson's reaction to them every day!

 I do as well when I sail solo.

 

Otherwise, by the end of the week we wind up with 6 different towel animals in our cabin.  (perhaps being diamond has something to do with it?  IDK).  If it wasn't Passover and Easter, I'd post a pic of how I arrange them and then I'd get a reprimand letter from the mods as well.

I have not read everyone's replies, but I have cruise on the large, medium, and smaller Carnival ships.  I just got off the Fascination the 7th of this month, and they are still doing the towel animals.  I know sometimes on the bigger ships, they do the towel animals on the lido deck also, and have many sitting out around the pool area for everyone to see.

[ProgRockCruiser]

John Heald addressed this last week (I think last week).  The towel animals are not going anywhere (on Carnival)!

 

We occasionally need an extra towel, so a towel animal may get sacrificed to meet that need, but usually we try to keep them all throughout the cruise.

 

I used to have the DIY-towel-animal book.  Not sure I still do.

[JQTravels]

They had them on the Vista.

Ha Ha. Like that one.😂😂

The "Towel Animal Takeover"  on the Lido deck has been really early in the morning on my cruises...if you are not an early riser you may never see it!  I wish they advertised it as I will have my granddaughter with me next cruise and she would love it!  But she is NOT an early riser!  LOL
