Travel Tuesdays: Carnival Towel Animals

The monkey hanging from our cabin ceiling

Each evening after dinner we would enter our room to a surprise animal creation made from folded towels. After hearing other cruisers laughing how they had the infamous hanging monkey, I wanted to see it for myself. I presented the request to our cabin steward, and he did a fabulous job.

Below are the other animals our cabin steward created for us. By the way, the cabin stewards take classes on how to fold the towels into animals. The day before we arrived back into Charleston a class was offered to cruisers to learn as well.

Still not sure of what animal this is. What do you think?

An alligator or is it a shark?

A stingray wearing Clemson glasses.

The elephant wearing our mom's sun glasses.

We would then settle back to our cabin area after a day of exercise, eating, and relaxation.  We "Thanked the Lord" for the beautiful scenery we were able to witness and the conversations we had with people we met from various states. Finally, in quietness of our room, we rested our bodies in anticipation of the new and exciting adventures of what the next day will unfold.
