I couldn't vote as my favorite one wasn't there. I can't remember which ship it was on but one of our cabin stewards make a pair of love swans - their necks and bills were shaped to form a heart.

Some of our stewards are real artists at making the towel animals, others have been just so-so.

Our stewards usually discard them the next morning so they don't clutter the cabin. I watched the stewards make the animals in a demo one day. It usually takes then about a minute ti make the animals. We enjoy the critters. The stewards started this a few years ago.

extra hangers are those that passengers bring along with them for extras and leave behind because they buy too much!

That is funny, I tought the monkey was hanging poultry the first time I saw it too!

 

Here are some animals from our last cruise! Our cabin steward was a whizz at these things. My husband wanted a lesson and he whipped these out in no time!;)

That's what I was thinking of when I cast a vote for the swan.

 

(We've had towel animals in our rooms at Disney World too!)

 

For the small amount of time it takes the stewards to make one, I don't think it's a huge deal. I'm not about to micromanage their time! :p

Many of the stewards have probably learned that this little extra effort often leads to extra tips! :)

B-I-N-G-O!!!:D

 

It sure worked for our last steward on the Oosterdam!

Plus he was just to great not to tip very well!

 

Same with Antonio in the Martini Bar!;)

Wow! Thats the largest towel animal I've ever seen. We usually leave tips in the animals hand/paw, mouth or other body part. Anything to bring a smile to a sweet face.:)

That is an excellent idea! Can I steal it?

The idea that is!

 

I love the smiles that go with the tips! I like to leave personal notes behind on disembarkment day:o with extra for those that treated us a little EXTRA! Love the paw idea!

We got a monkey on the next to last night of our 7 day Maasdam cruises in June. That thing nearly freaked me out. :D

 

LOL ... especially if you come back to the cabin after dark ... leaving only a night light on before you went out ... and that thing is hanging over the bed. Can put the scare of the devil into ya, that's for sure. :)

I'll "second that"!!! :)

 

What a delightful idea.... we always leave our guys a few bucks on our pillow in the morning, but incorporating the animal towels is a WONDERFUL idea. :D

[WISCruiser]

I don't care for those towell creatures... and to ensure I don't get them, when I see my Steward for the first time and exchange pleasantries, I slip him something to NOT do them and he says, No Problem.:D Works for me!

:) Maybe that plus they may also have been instructed it is now 'part of their job description'. I don't know but my sense is they are now a mandatory part of cabin care and maintenance for all stewards.

My recent Alaskan cruise was the first one that I got towel animals. I thought they were cute but the absolute best part was that my steward used chocolates for the eyes so I got 2 chocolates instead of 1 every night :D :D My parents were in a suite but they had paper eyes on theirs!
