murfturf Posted October 21, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I just got off Freedom Of The Seas, and I was hooked into buying a Parazul bag! The shopping "director" (or whatever she is called!) was able to find me the one I wanted, and went out of her way to find the color and style I wanted. It was a splurge for our 10th anniversary, and I love it! I know I should pack it up for the Spring (it's a Lime Green Slim Bag) because it's not very "Fall" but I love it too much! I only regret I didn't get another scarf, because looking at the website - the scarves and charms were cheaper in Jamaica than what they list on the site. Oh well, another scarf (or another bag) for another trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted October 21, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I looked at those bags, but wasn't knocked out by the design. I have something similar that I received for Christmas last year. No scarf, but I can always add my own. And honestly, I have waaaayyyyyy too many bags already. It's tough to hide purchases in those cabins, and if DH saw that I bought a bag on vacation, he'd probably dump me overboard. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfturf Posted October 22, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) I'm just starting to get into bags - and I like having ones that other people don't! The white or tan bag didn't do it for me, but this green jumped out at me! I got the hibiscus charm as well. My bag and his cigars/rum were about the same cost - so he can't throw me off the ship! ;) No Christmas presents for each other though this year, this was Christmas for us!

kitty9 Posted October 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Is St Martin the only island where you can buy the Parazul bags? My sister purchased one for me last winter, and I'm going on a Caribbean cruise in November, and I'd like to find a store to purchase them. Our ports are Curacao, Antiqua, Bermuda and Grand Cayman.

nannybunny Posted November 1, 2009 #7 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Just off the Island Princess and I purchased the slim bag in Jamacia. The website prices are much higher. The sales person told me to order any more charms and scarfs from their site. This will be the way to go. Enjoy and if your budget is less call it a Christmas gift to yourself. Hey once Halloween is over can Christmas be far away.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greytgrlz Posted November 1, 2009 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I wanted to buy one but neve saw one in the shoppes. I didn't go to the shopping talk so didn't know whee to get them until I got home and online. I would still like one but would do my own scarf through them as I am allergic to silk. Guess next cruise I will know where to get them if I still "need" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it, whether anyone else likes it or not. Happy Anniversary! Time to plan your next cruise, and next bag accessory! ;) BTW, you can always buy another scarf to use. Doesn't have to be the parazul brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatgirl48 Posted October 6, 2011 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I bought the large purse a few yrs ago in the Caribean and the long wallet last yr in Juneau. The wallet is ripping in two places and I seldom use it. Now seeing about guarantees especially in Canada.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatgirl48 Posted October 6, 2011 #11 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Guarantee is good in Canada and it was a quick phone call for results.:):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancun01 Posted October 8, 2011 #12 Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) These bags are so pretty and I have looked at them several times. I have never bought one because I found them expensive. When I looked closely at the material, I wondered how they would wear but I could easily be convinced because they are very pretty.

sail7seas Posted October 9, 2011 #13 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I just looked at website for St. Martin store. The bags are nice...... sort of remind me of Dooney and Bourke. Do they resemble them in person? Aside from the scarves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcjr98 Posted December 1, 2012 #14 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Does anyone know if the Parazul bags are the same price everywhere? I have been wanting one since my cruise last February, but didn't buy one - I see they have a website, but honestly don't remember the prices in the carribbean? I'm interested in the "Slim Bag" and it is $225 online - which seems higher than what I remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same selection of style/color/accessories you'd find at a retail location, but the price can be tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibappy Posted March 24, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 24, 2013 How do the prices at the "cruise stores" compare to the online prices? I love the look of the bag but don't want to spend $200+ on a bag. I know that the itinerary that you buy for $30 is $85 on the website - which is nuts. I use my itinerary quite a bit and it holds up well too but $85? Taking a trip in June and thought I would save some extra money back and make that my cruise splurge if it isn't too expensive. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonQueen Posted March 24, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well, now you've really done it!! :D As if I needed another handbag (or a reason to buy one!:p), I'll be in Aruba next month, and I so want one of these bags!! Too cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthe7Seas Posted March 24, 2013 #18 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have the pink Parazul bag and I am in absolute love with it!! I get so many compliments, and what I really love is that it's a bag that not many people have. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the price in Aruba will be quite a bit lower....fingers crossed!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonQueen Posted May 18, 2013 #22 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Let us know what the price differences are! Have fun on your trip- It really wasn't a great deal cheaper.....but I didn't have to pay taxes or shipping! The lowest price for shipping on their website is $15 and with the taxes, it would have been substantially more. But.....I LOVE it! I got the bronze scarf bag (it comes with a scarf and charm), plus I had a coupon for a free charm, so I bought an additional scarf. Two different looks + no shipping/taxes + a reminder of Curacao = one happy camper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
