morneau Posted November 3, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2011 So I know that for many of you, these document wallets are throw-away items, but I honestly love mine from past cruises and continue to use them for travel. Can anyone tell me what the Seabourn document wallets are like...if, in fact, they are still used? Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted November 3, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yes, I use my every time I fly, keeping my tickets and flight info together ~but I like and prefer the old navy leather document folders. Didn't care for the black ones nor do I like the present brown ones. I also use the old navy Seabourn luggage tags ~ Martita B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martita B. Posted November 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yes ~you'll receive the brown leather ticket holder and 4 brown leather luggage tags. They are quite nice but I just happen to like the old Seabourn leather folder. I give the folders and luggage tags to my Grandkids ~ also friends. Much too nice and 'handsome to throw away ~ MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted November 3, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I take mine to the church rummage sale. I too prefer the old soft-sided navy one with a zipper pocket for change and whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted November 3, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Seabourn use to mail the folder and luggage tags in a gorgeous navy/gold box. As the box's were so pretty I kept mine ~thank goodness. Now I receive the folder and tags in a FedEx envelope ~:cool: Cut backs, I suppose.

Martita B. Posted November 3, 2011 #8 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I would think you'll be receiving your folder, luggage tags, ship ticket booklet in a week or so ~my sailing is Nov 8th and I've had my 'packet' at least for 3 weeks. I'm sure you've filled out all the registering forms on line. And your suite preferences. I always request a humidifier (Housekeeper places it on the floor ~in the back of the sitting room) The machine works great for my allergies. (ships air) You may want to try it.:p Happy Trails and Sails MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted November 3, 2011 #9 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yes, I have found many uses for the boxes but have to admit that they were a bit unnecessary. I also have much of my life in the Seabourn tote bags! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOPHYTUS Posted November 3, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Can't wait to receive them! When will be receiving them if we are sailing on Dec 2nd?:D It's just a corrugated piece of paper product along with a cheap vinyl/plastic folder made in a Chinese sweat shop. Best use is to toss it in the recycle garbage bin after removing the spiral insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamin_June Posted November 3, 2011 #13 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It's just a corrugated piece of paper product along with a cheap vinyl/plastic folder made in a Chinese sweat shop. Best use is to toss it in the recycle garbage bin after removing the spiral insert. The luggage tags are nice, though, quite chunky and substantial. It is always a pleasant event to get travel docs, tags, ticket folders etc through the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winner Posted November 3, 2011 #14 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I doubt the docuent folder is recycleable. Why not donate it to a charitable cause (church, Goodwill or Savation Army, eg) where someone will be happier than you to receive it, and may even use it. At least it won't be cluttering up the the earth for the next hundred years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailmarsh Posted November 3, 2011 #15 Share Posted November 3, 2011 On our trip back to the UK last week, our tags & ticket wallet were waiting for us in the mail - a nice surprise as Seabourn first timers! We sail Nov 23rd! Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshunvuz Posted November 4, 2011 #16 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yes, I have found many uses for the boxes but have to admit that they were a bit unnecessary. I also have much of my life in the Seabourn tote bags! Tote bag? This is the first I'm hearing of a tote bag. Do we get it onboard or is it something we can purchase in the boutique? How big it is? We were thinking of bring an empty duffle bag along for gifts, etc., but if the tote bag works... I'm thinking it might be about the size of a paper grocery bag? Please let me know for sure.

JaneBP Posted November 4, 2011 #17 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The tote bag is cotton and has a zippered pocket and is of the usual 'tote' size, smaller than a paper grocery bag, more like a plastic one. To my knowledge it's still given out the evening of the first night, one per family, two if the suite-mates are not related. Very sturdy. I have won other zippered totes in Trivia and Liars Club. And I have seen larger totes or small collapsible suitcases in the gift shop. But that's been a while. I would stick with the empty duffle.

Martita B. Posted November 4, 2011 #18 Share Posted November 4, 2011 As far as I know the 'oatmeal' colored canvas toes are still being given ~be sure and check in the Boutique as I've seen the heavier totes on the sale table for $10. They use to offer the Seabourn fold-up totes in different colors ~I have bought these for gifts. Haven't checked if these are still available or not ~ MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairbourne Posted November 4, 2011 #20 Share Posted November 4, 2011 ...talk about deflating someone bubble!:rolleyes: Our tickets and luggage labels arrived as MartitaB said - brown leather - smart and our UK TA sent them to us in a lovely box, each item beautifully wrapped in tissue paper along with our itinerary etc. and a personalised "Bon Voyage" card. And I had great fun opening it! :) Silversea sent a very similar box with our tickets etc last year and I found it great to keep all our little souvenirs in when we came back. The TA had also enclosed other goodies which they gave us for booking through them - free airport lounge access for one year worldwide, a loaded sim card for us to contact them should we have problems whilst we are away, membership to a UK travel club and a subscription to a UK travel magazine - small things but useful nonetheless. Tote bag on board - now I am excited :p:rolleyes: On the last few days countdown now! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeezics Posted November 4, 2011 #23 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Received our docs today for our December 2nd cruise. When we were on the Pride two years ago, never received a tote...will have to keep my eyes open. Believe at that time we were caught in a slight "glitch" due to new cabin staff arriving and a change in supervisors. Cabin service was just okay. . . . hoping for a different experience this time.

JaneBP Posted November 5, 2011 #24 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I actually think I remember there was a period of time when the bags were not given out. However, just ask if you don't get one this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
