Lobster! Last week, Celebrity Silhouette, Eastern Med.

I think Carnival started with the towel animals. I think that they are very cute but are time consuming for the stewards to make. Usually we just keep collecting them. We also get new towels. I like the hanging monkey. But my favorite is the new one for the night. I don't thing that we got towel animals on MSC for the two cruises that we went on.

Hi JusMe! It’s great that you have those memories. We’re proud of our cruise addiction – and we’re trying to get all of our friends and family addicted as well! Happy

I had them back in 1996 on my first Cruisre, RCCL Viking Serenade and Song of America. My Parents had loved to take cruise vacations also, they started cruising in the early 1970's (the Love Boat out of L.A., CA) . I can remember my mom telling us of the towel animals or her Pajamas being laid out like sitting on the bed (she hid her PJ's after that "I don't like strange men touching my PJ's" ). They had done from 1 to 4 a year for about 30 years. I guess I got my cruise addiction from them. I still think of them every time I'm on a ship.

I miss the Chocolate that RCCL stopped putting on your pillow at night.
