We thought it kind of cute, although a bit disturbing, that we were greeted most nights on our cruise by odd, little creatures made of terry cloth on our bed.

Our cabin was attended to twice daily.  As soon as we disappeared to stuff our faces at the evening food extravaganzas, the cabin boy hustled back in, turned down our bed and left “someone” to greet us.

As far as we could tell, our first visitor was a dog.

The next night, we were gifted with what appeared to be a bunny.

No doubt that this guy was an elephant, is there?

This one left us kind of stumped.  I finally decided it was a sheep, although I’m sure someone would argue that ID with me.

I thought this stingray was really kind of awesome.  I would have considered it to be my favorite if the next night’s creation hadn’t just blown the rest of them away.

Because upon entering our room, we were met with Carnival Cruiseline’s very own Giant Vagina!

I was shocked and nearly screamed with delight until Kevin pointed out to me that it was supposed to be a walrus.

Well, OK.  I guess I could see that, but I still think they knew it was going to be mistaken for a Giant Vagina.

I spent several hours the next day, polling our co-vacationers about what towel animal they were greeted with.  No one else would confess to the Giant Vagina.  Most everyone else got turtles.

Somehow, Carnival knew that I would be the right recipient for this most delightful of gifts.  And now, I share it with all of you.

Feel free to linger and enjoy gazing at my Giant Vagina.
