Towel Animal Photos!

“I have a question,” I said to Ailene our cabin steward from the Philippines. “My wife wants to know if there are there towel animals?”

On some cruise lines there is a nighttime tradition. When you get back to your cabin after dinner your bed has been turned down, fresh towels delivered, the next day’s schedule placed so it’s sure to be noticed, chocolate on the pillow (or nearby) and a towel animal.

“I have a question,” I said to Ailene our cabin steward from the Philippines. “My wife wants to know if there are towel animals?” It was my question, but made my wife the heavy. I can sometimes be a jerk.

Ailene frowned… then quickly smiled. As we would learn through our five days Ailene was the total package and always in a good mood so towel animals was a no brainer!

Though the cruise lines sell books there are instructions to roll your own all over YouTube.

This will be a popular post.

  1. Welcome back! — We are enjoying the photos of the trip that you’ve posted so far. Keep em coming. I noticed in one of the towel photos there is a Gund Snuffles bear near the pillow…what’s the history on that? It must be Helaines? As you remember, I’m a teddy bear fan so was curious when I spied it beneath the birthday sign.

  2. Welcome back — we’re enjoying the photos so far. As a teddy bear fan, I have to ask =-= what’s the background on the Gund Snuffles bear in one of the photos?

  3. Laura…Yes, the Gund is mine! “Pinky” was originally a member of our dear daughter’s menagerie, but she gave ‘him’ to me about 20 years ago before Geoff and I left on a vacation. Since that time Pinky has accompanied me on most trips. He’s an excellent traveler and companion!

  4. On some of the longer Cruises on Royal Caribbean they actually have a class to teach you how to make them. At one time made a large “Man???” sitting in the bathroom with no lights on and left it for our Stewart. It had half the crew in our room looking at it. Broke everyone up.
