Beach Towels

It’s best to bring your towels from the ship when visiting. However, towels are also available at The Beach Club if needed. If you get towels at The Beach Club, they will record your cabin number and the number of towels taken. Towels collected from the Beach Club must be returned there to avoid a $25 charge per towel.

If you bring towels from your cabin, make sure to return them to your cabin afterward.

There’s also a towel exchange service available at The Beach Club if you want to swap out a used towel for a fresh one.
