Grammieto3 Posted February 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Simple question. Do we need to pack beach towels for port days? It has been a long time since our last cruise and I cannot remember. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But be sure and turn it in, or they charge you like $30 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted February 22, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2020 No. You can bring the carnival ones. When you get back simply exchange them for clean ones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purvis1231 Posted February 22, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Do not worry about losing it since there are a lot of free towels around the pool- sometimes with free books and sunglasses. 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can just leave them in your cabin and your cabin steward will replace them for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted February 23, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2020 We love these microfiber towels. They take up almost no space, dry super fast, and dry very fast. Carnivals towels take up a an entire beach bag. these are light weight and compact. https://www.amazon.com/Youphoria-Outdoors-Microfiber-Quick-Travel/dp/B01LYH76YW/ref=sr_1_26?crid=3QGUWEAI6R9ZJ&dchild=1&keywords=microfiber+beach+towel&qid=1582416046&sprefix=microfiber+beach%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-26 There are many other microfiber towels in 2 packs and many different colors and designs. We take them on every cruise and beach vacations 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacruise804 Posted February 25, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I agree with COEvan to take microfiber towels. They dry quickly and leave the sand behind at the beach. You don't need them as the ship does provide their own for use, but they are big and get heavy when wet (plus hold sand). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalleyCat Posted February 26, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We don't take the beach towels off the ship-they're heavy enough before they get wet. Instead we ask for extra bath towels and take those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aknguyen Posted February 26, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We also take microfiber towels. They are so much lighter and easier to take along than the thick Carnival towels. They shake free of sand very easily as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted February 27, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 27, 2020 They also dry in minutes and can fit in your pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted February 27, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I take the ones they leave in your room then exchange for fresh ones when I get back on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitamin Sea Addict Posted February 29, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We take Dock and Bay microfiber towels. They pack down small for the four of us. They dry SO quick and are lightweight to carry back to the ship when loaded down with wetness. Sand brushes right off. They were pricy but they are worth it.
