txnurse Posted November 4, 2013 #52 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I like it as a platinum/diamond gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misstopgun Posted November 4, 2013 #53 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The logos other than Carnival are the restaurants on their ships with 2.0 upgrades. It isn't as if they went to an outside source to pay for the bags by allowing free advertising. Not sure if I would use the bag, depending on the size of the cooler portion, but as others stated, it's a gift and I won't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do wonder how those who've never been on a ship with Guys, Red Frog and Blue Iguana will feel about it. :/ Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figdu Posted November 4, 2013 #57 Share Posted November 4, 2013 These will be great for carrying stuff to the lido deck for a day in the sun. Much better than the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if those who had not been able to enjoy those establishments might feel excluded or wonder what all the "fuss" is about for those places. . That's all. ;) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all. ;) Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app I get your point. I think that is what they want you to think (wonder, not the excluded). Nothing more than pure advertising (and not meant from a negative persoective). Have you been on a ship that has any of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv322 Posted November 4, 2013 #61 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ooooo! Looks good! I certainly don't need another hat (as a solo cruiser ;)), and I already gave away one of my Tervis Tumblers! Look forward to the bag on 12/27! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fyree39 Posted November 4, 2013 #62 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Wouldn't you know those are coming out the week after our next cruise. Of course! :rolleyes: Hopefully they'll be available on our 2014 cruise to New England. They look nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherC430 Posted November 4, 2013 #63 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think this is the best gift they've offered in awhile! I hope to get one before they sell out next year! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Timmys_mom Posted November 4, 2013 #64 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I love it, mostly because the Carnival beach bag that I won on the Miracle in 2005 finally bit the dust on my last cruise. I would have had to buy a new one, so this just saved me a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taecruise2 Posted November 4, 2013 #65 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I will be cruising on the 23rd , do you think they will be available for that sailing or still the hats ? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted November 4, 2013 #67 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Got the Tervis tumbler in May. First Plat gift I've used. Sitting on my desk right now. Got the hat in September. I don't wear hats. I should've given it away. If I get the hat (sailing 11/16, so I probably will :( ), I think I should donate it at our M&G. We're having a 2-hour open bar M&G but since we don't have a sea day until Day #5, I should have my Plat gift by then. Thanks for the "door prize" suggestion, rrraydon! Oh, and yes, I'd use the tote/cooler. I use the tote bag I received as runner-up in a slot tournament and also use the tote bag I received on my HAL cruise. And I certainly wouldn't feel that I was somehow a 2nd-class cruise if I were to receive it on a Fantasy-class ship that didn't have a Guy's Burgers! Who cares? Just gimme the bag!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnAnne Posted November 4, 2013 #68 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Love It! Can't wait to get mine on our January Breeze Cruise! Good Job Carnival ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart Posted November 4, 2013 #69 Share Posted November 4, 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. :) I would love it! I sail 11/17 one week too early! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
