Do you need towels on MSC cruise?

There are beach towels in every cabin of MSC Cruises ships. After using, the towels have to be returned to your cabin otherwise, the cost of the towel can be put into your cruise bill. You can also take the towels right at the swimming pool.



No, you do not need to bring your own towels when going on an MSC Cruise. The cruise line provides a full complement of towels for various needs throughout your journey. In your stateroom, you will find standard bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths, which are replaced daily by your cabin steward as needed. For the pool and sun deck areas, MSC provides dedicated blue pool towels. These are often placed in your cabin on the first day, or you can check them out from a towel station near the main swimming pools using your cruise card. It is important to note that MSC has a "towel tracking" policy; if you lose a pool towel or fail to return it by the end of the cruise, a charge (typically around $20 per towel) may be added to your onboard account. You are also permitted to take these pool towels off the ship for use during shore excursions to beaches, provided you bring them back. Because luggage space is at a premium, leaving your bulky beach towels at home is one of the easiest ways to save room for souvenirs or extra clothing.
