My last Norwegian only did towels it if you asked but you shouldn’t based your cruise off of that. As for the kids thing that cruise line in particular prides was themselves on the family atmosphere. Next time do your homework. That’s how I found about the towels and washcloths.

I agree with everyone else. I have had folded towels randomly. On every cruisline but never chocolate. Where's my chocolate!!!!

Carnival is not the only one who does the folded towel animals. Most Norwegian cruise lines do too

I'm guessing it's been a while since your last cruise. Only Carnival still does towel animals and chocolate, and not all of their ships do it every night. Why would you judge your cruise on these factors anyway, wow????????

I've never been on a cruise where I got towel animals, so not a deal breaker for me. Spa prices are high on every cruise line.

I think your complaints would be the same on other cruise lines. On Royal Caribbean I've never gotten chocolates, towel animals are every other day and spa prices are high. But I would never let that affect my cruise.

Nice ship. Very average food and entertainment.

I didn't love it but I didn't hate it
