Tote bag in cabins?

[vickykay]

Hi. We typically cruise on Celebrity and are given a small tote bag in the room - we use this in addition to our own to carry towels, etc, on port days. We will be on the FOS in a few weeks and wondering if RC also provides a bag.

 

Thanks. Vicky

Most times, there is a plastic shopping bag with handles in rooms on Royal Caribbean.

Yes. A large plastic tote will be in your closet. If not, ask you cabin steward for one.

I usually find them on one of the hooks just inside the door.

RCCL basically provides a white plastic shopping bag - not anything as nice as the fabric bag provided in all Celebrity cabins. I never knew it was considered to be a beach bag or tote, we mostly use it to store dirty clothes for the return trip.

I like the bag the beer comes in.... :D

 

On sea days I'll take a back pack with me. Can pretty much fit whatever we'll need during the day. Plus on the longer walks on the ship it's easier to manage.

So THAT'S what those were. I thought they were for laundry services. I used my own old canvas backpack for shore fun.

 

In any event, I won a really nice RCI tote bag playing trivia. Dark blue canvas with faux leather handles & trim, zippers and pockets. I can see why they don't give THOSE away - must cost a couple $.

They ARE for laundry; they are usually on a hanger or hook in the closet along with the laundry/dry cleaning request form. I guess you can use them to carry stuff to the pool, although I don't recall seeing (m)any people doing that.

 

To answer the OP's question though, no, RC no longer gives guests a (real) tote bag. Or hat. Or picture frame. Or anything else they used to routinely give as a C&A gift. Only D+ and Pinnacles get a gift now.

On our last 2 cruises we did not have the plastic "tote"? Bag and we were in GS both times. Seriously, I wouldn't consider this a tote bag, could be used but its basically a plastic shopping bag. :confused:

Thanks everyone. I will bring an extra tote (from previous cruises) along with me.

The correct answer is NO, RCCL does not supply Tote Bags in your cabin. If you want to roam around ports with your towel in a dirty clothes plastic bag that says Royal on it, I guess you could.:o

 

Other options:

1. Bring one from home.

2. Buy one on the ship in the gift shop or at any of the ports you stop at.

3. Do what I do, order everything you need ahead of time from Gifts and Gear, that way there WILL BE a tote bag waiting for you in your cabin; however you paid for it.;)
