Georgiagolfer Posted November 3, 2013 #26 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Look at that blatant advertising. I take it they are picking up the tab. Every Platinum gift DW and I have received has Carnival displayed. No difference with these cooler bags. If Platinum and you don't like the gift, just leave in the room or give away to a passenger you meet on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted November 3, 2013 #27 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Watcha think about the new diamond/platinum gift? I love it. Nice thermal/cooler tote! Will be available fleet wide 11/24..says John. :) Love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted November 3, 2013 #28 Share Posted November 3, 2013 That sure is better than the ballcaps. We're doing a B2B in January so we'll receive 4 of these bags. Not sure I want that many, but it's better than 4 ballcaps which we'd never wear. Loved the 4 Tervis Tumblers that we use everyday. I agree Mary. Way better than the ballcaps.

bbiggar Posted November 3, 2013 #29 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Can be very useful in Long Beach. They did away with grocery bags. Everyone has to provide your own. This will be great for cold items. Great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmowan8485 Posted November 3, 2013 #30 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Not yet platinum but I like the cooler anyway!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Platinum and you don't like the gift, just leave in the room or give away to a passenger you meet on the ship. Wasn't talking about Carnival. It's the other stuff. We did the same thing in our company, branding out logo placement for funds, essentially having "them" pay for it. Our logo would go on too. Free advertising.

tkportersat Posted November 3, 2013 #32 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Was just on the Triumph for my platinum cruise...wish I could trade my hat for the cooler :) we liked the tumbler idea too, so we ended up buying them from the Red Frog and Blue Iguana. Love them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkportersat Posted November 3, 2013 #34 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have no idea..we didn't ask. When I got the hat we just ended up purchasing tumblers because we really wanted them. Made a nice souvenir. Can't you still trade the hat for a tumbler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted November 3, 2013 #35 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I love the bag....we will be getting 4 of them on our back-to-back cruises in December. I was wondering though...is the whole bag a cooler bag or just the bottom where the other logos are?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it was an insulated bag - meaning the whole thing - but who knows. ;) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rch3 Posted November 3, 2013 #38 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Mine will go to a nice family sailing over NYE on Breeze. Will stick with my understated insulated RCL tote which has served me well for the past 5 years (and received on my second RCL sailing.) Appreciate the platinum gifts of course and CCL 's low prices which permit a second cruise each year but I am disinclined to be a billboard for any company. Next gift a fun ship license plate bracket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The4Cruisers Posted November 3, 2013 #40 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The new bag doesn't do anything for me. But that's ok. I appreciate the effort they're making by giving us the gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyingeyes Posted November 3, 2013 #41 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It looks like a bag I could find in the frozen food section of the local supermarket for a buck or two. Just my opinion, and I would never complain about getting something for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted November 3, 2013 #42 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It's a gift. Just say thank you or no thank you. Looks like what we got on Carnival Sunshine months ago. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted November 3, 2013 #43 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Look at that blatant advertising. I take it they are picking up the tab. That crossed my mind too. A bit too many logos and advertising for my taste. But hey! Free is free! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted November 3, 2013 Author #44 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It's a gift. Just say thank you or no thank you.

Webecruzen Posted November 3, 2013 #45 Share Posted November 3, 2013 We were able to trade our ball caps last for tumblers last month on the Paradise. We will likely try to trade the cooler bags for tumblers if they have any left on the Liberty over Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rrraydon Posted November 3, 2013 Author #47 Share Posted November 3, 2013 correct! I was hoping the whole thing was. Oh well, either way, I like it. I like everything free. Even if I can't use it...someone else can. Like the ball cap..never wear hats..so, door prize! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misguidedangel Posted November 4, 2013 #48 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I love the new bag. Sadly, my next cruise will be September 2014, which means they will have run out of this and moved onto another gift by then. I got a Carnival ball cap on the Conquest in September. I need a bag like this so I am crossing my fingers that I can get that lotto ticket that's a BIG winner so I can get the darn bag!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poison7fl Posted November 4, 2013 #49 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Going on 11/16, I hope I don't EVER get that bag. :mad: I'd give that away if I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
