So Ive been browsing the board for many months & its helped so much with first timer preparing! But I do have a couple of last minute questions that I haven't been able to figure out.
First, can you bring in fully frozen sealed water bottles into Centeroo? And what about something like a reusable water bottle that's ice only (but not sealed obviously).
And with the $7 showers, is there a time limit? Is it locker room style? Do we need to bring our own towels?

I've brought water bottles into Centeroo with no problem, full or not. I don't see why ice would make any difference.
Showers, I can't help with much because I've never used the Bonnaroo showers. I just shower at my camp.. but I can imagine that you would need to bring your own towel. EDIT: I asked a friend and he said they are individual stalls. Not really a time limit - but just use common courtesy and don't take forever because the lines get really long
You shouldn't have a problem getting either type of water bottle in. The showers are in trailers, so it's just a row of stalls with curtains. There isn't anywhere to change other than in your shower so you'll want to be careful keeping your clean clothes dry. There is no time limit but the water will likely be cold and you'll want to get out as quickly as possible haha. Yes, bring a towel. They do give out packets of shampoo and conditioner though.
Since OPs questions were answered, I'll take advatage of this thread. If I don't plan on showering, how necessary is it for me to bring towels? Will I survive with just one?

tl;dr: my suitcase is full, do I need towels?
I pretty much survive on baby wipes myself but I still being one in the event it's really rainy and I want to towel off. Some years I use it, some I don't. (Sometimes it ends up as an extra pillow.)

Two towels are ideal; although one towel will suffice. Showers are seven bucks at a pod (and feels quacking glorious). If you do, then have some flip flops to lower chance of athlete's foot. (these can be washed while showering). No shower? one towel should be fine. Pro-tip: You can't have enough cleansing wipes, body powder, and foot powder!

I cannot stress the wipes, powder and foot powder enough! Also! I have not had to empty my camelbak at all going into centeroo

I've actually never brought or used a towel. Maybe it could be useful if it rains?

For the towel situation, one towel should be fine but I recommend bringing an ample supply of washcloths. They're like mini towels! And good for washing up at camp...and if you bring enough to use a clean one each time, you can dunk 'em in the cooler water and give yourself an ice cold sponge bath!
You can take any kind of water into centeroo. If it's an open bottle they might open it and sniff it. But I've never seen them make you empty your camelbak. Roo knows that everybody staying hydrated is priority #1.
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.

Gold Bond needs to be your friend. Bring AT LEAST one towel (Gonna rain this year and you will wanna be dry at SOME point) Depending on how far the walk is in to Centeroo, your frozen water will have melted some. You CANNOT have enough baby wipes. Washcloths are nice too but a big towel works wonders. Finally, the EARLIER you get to the showers (or really late depending) the less CROWDED! If you get to the showers at say 10 am on, expect a LONG line!

If you plan to make Bonnaroo a regular thing, I highly recommend forking out the $100 for a good shower tent. We have 3 people camping every year and the shower tent we bought in 2010 has more than paid for itself once you figure $7 for 3 people.
I highly recommend not using the showers at the pods. It isn't worth it. Standing in a long line, no water pressure, freezing cold, muddy shower floor... you could do the same thing yourself back at camp.

I like showering, I like feeling clean and fresh, I love camping but I can only go about 1 day without a shower (I have always loved sex while camping too, so maybe I am conditioned that way).
I highly recommend using either a solar or RV or Pod shower at least every other day, and each night using the watering pods to clean off and soap up in. The water is cold at those stations, but after a long hot Roo day, it feels WONDERFUL.
The shower pods get busy after 10am. Expect a 45 min to 1.5 hour wait after 10am. Once it hits about 2 or 3pm, the wait begins to dissipate. You can pretty much take a shower without much line before 9a, and after 4pm.
Bring two or three towels in the least---it is supposed to rain. And we will try to have a Slip n Slid set up in Access this year. I tries last year, but got distracted. This year, look for us and the slide. Clean va-jays for the win.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I just bring one towel and I'm fine with that.
I shower every day at Roo. I rarely wait in line. The water is warm. And it's totally worth it.

You can bring in as many water bottles as you want (frozen, liquid or gas). And the showers have no time limit and you dont need a towel cause its so hot. I forgot my towel for my only shower but i was dry in 5 mins.
