Does Princess have a canvas "bag" for each of you

waiting in your cabin like HAL and Celebrity do?

 

 

 

 

or I've seen a blue canvas one, too. Thanks.

We had the blue tote bags in our cabins on Sea Princess back in April.

Thanks very much. Do all cabin categories get them or only certain ones. We are in an inside. Thanks.

Every category will get a bag, but they are not canvas, they are cheap cloth "like" bags. Mine had a price tag of .99 on the bottom. :rolleyes: Looks like something you could buy from Oriental Trading for about 2 cents each.

A canvas bag similar to that shown in the first post here is given to those in full suites.

 

As of last Fall, I think Princess also is giving large blue bags to passengers in all other types of cabins ... I don't think they actually are canvas, more like the nonwoven material used for bags sold for grocery shopping and such.

Thanks again everyone. I'll just bring one from another cruise line, then.

We got bags on the Ocean Princess in April

The canvas bags are so small - I'd rather have one of the cheap ones. My computer and a book fit in it and that's about it.

 

On our last two cruises, they handed out the blue ones to everyone but the suites - I guess I should have said something. I like to take a number of things up to the pool.

I believe it is one per stateroom rather than one per person.

On our recent Sapphire Princess cruise (April-May 2011) we were in a Balcony cabin and we received two of the blue Princess bags in our cabin - one for each of us.

We got one each on Coral last month. We also have the canvas one's and you're right, they're small. Prefer the blue one's they gave to everyone.

One per cabin on the Grand in January and on the Ruby in May.

It was one per person last November on the Emerald, the steward actually provided us with a couple extras - they mad nice gift bags for the souvenirs that we got for the grandchldren:)

The bag given out on Princess appears to be made of recyclable material, like the "green" bags you can get at a supermarket. I don't depend on a cruiseline to give me a bag and bring my own excursion bag. Helps identify which is mine as I reboarding and the bag goes through the scanner.

I was on three Princess cruises last year, and did not get a bag at all. The bags for the hoi polloi on Celebrity are the non-woven type. Only HAL still gives real bags. EM

I dont think we've ever gotten the tote bags!

[janina]

We don't get them often, but when we do like on the Star in Oct it was the light weight blue one that Pam mentioned.

I like the grocery style totes better. I was on Celebrity in November and got the same grocery style bags. Also got a Celebrity tote that snaps up into a small purse like thing because I was in Concierge Class. I'd never use it, so I left it on board. I took my grocery style bags, though.

Our 6th Princess was this past February. Nice surprise getting a little freebie. We bring lots of bags but this one came in surprisingly handy too! :D

We received one of the blue bags in our cabin on the Coral in March. We used it in almost every port, plus when we went to the pool. Held more than we thought it would. They're alot better than the cheap plastic bags that you get on RCCL - they've been giving these out since we started cruising them in the 90's and still got one on our cruise in 2010.

The blue bag was ok. We gave ours away with some items with bought on the cruise to my mother for Mother's Day. I prefer the nicer canvas bags. Although I do wish the canvas bags were larger. But it was free, so I won't complain.

We got one of the blue bags in our cabin (obstructed OV) last December. Jusr one. We used it for carrying towels,etc. to the beach on Kauai, and noticed many of our fellow passengers doing the same. We also won one of the trivia matches for which our team was given a good supply of black canvas bags...and our team members gave us a few of theirs as they've won some trivia prizes already during the cruise.

 

I think it's really good PR to give out the bags on the first day or so as passengers do seem to use them in the ports. And if ordered in a huge volume, the cost per item is really low.

Is this something new? We have been on several Princess and have not gotten one yet. Or is a cabin level thing. We are usually in an inside or obstructed view. Sure hope it is everyone for our next cruise.

We received one blue bag for our mini-suite cabin this past week on the Island Princess. I used a backpack in port, but the Princess bag will go into my trunk to be used for grocery shopping. I'll be able to think of my great trip as I shop! :-)

We received blue ones in March. I use mine to carry my workout clothes.
