Grandma Dazzles Posted March 20, 2020 Author #2 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Just returned from the Serenade. Wonderful cruise with a hardworking staff trying to keep everyone safe. Over the years have seen many towel animals - this was a new one! Traveling solo and returning to my dimly lit cabin around midnight this was scared the heck out of me for a moment - then such a good laugh! Gabriel on deck 10, awesome steward. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipgeeks Posted March 20, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2020 And I thought for a moment that the cabin steward was cleaning the bottom of the mattress! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoes were kind of leaning and stuffed with washcloths. Actually pretty easy but very different! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstone1 Posted March 20, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 20, 2020 We were also on Serenade and had Gabriel on Deck 10. He was amazing and a very talented towel animal creator! Hopefully, the photos post! He made us the legs too (we were also startled when we arrived back to the cabin and then also had a good laugh. My favorite was the goat, but also loved the giraffe and armadillo! 😍. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstone1 Posted March 20, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Also a squirrel and a cat & mouse! We were on for 21 days and by the last night, I had a menagerie! We joked that Deck 10 was going to run out of towels! Such a great crew on Serenade! We’re sad that they aren’t working and might be sent home. I know they were worried! 💜 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i had the same cabin steward, Gabriel, as the suites. Other posters showed some of his animals - I had those too. He was one of the best stewards I remember ever having - not just the towel animals - he was very thorough and so pleasant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveling Library Posted March 21, 2020 #20 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I agree. Gabriel was great! We too had the legs coming out from under the bed. I'm still laughing. Brilliant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a balcony cabin on deck 10 - not a suite. I just think some room stewards are better/more artistic than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
