mamawsnest Posted June 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Our cruise leaves next Monday and was wondering if they still give the tote bags for level of cruising or are we down to a bottle of water? I'm trying to get packed and wondered if I need to take one or have that space for something else. Thanks to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama, my wife/I have been cruising with Carnival since 2010 and haven't yet received a tote-bag. Not sure if this is an item that was given based on being either Diamond or Platinum; but we are neither. But if you aren't either, then plan on bringing your own if you need one.

beachbum53 Posted June 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If you're referring to the gifts given to Platinum and Diamond cruisers, those are changed periodically. I'm not sure what the current gift is, but the totes haven't been given out in quite some time (maybe a year or so ago?). If you're in need of a tote bag, you could either purchase one at a store near you, or purchase one on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUcajunmom Posted June 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If you are gold level, it's a bottle of water and a free drink coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamawsnest Posted June 15, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks everyone! We have cruised Carnival 3 times before (just not last year) and received great tote bags. No I am not Platinum or Diamond . I guess that is just another cutback but at least I have the other ones to take and I am going on a cruise! Woo hoo!

We're still at Gold level, and have been on 7 cruises with Carnival. We've never gotten any tote bags from them. I guess you were just lucky. Did you book your past cruises through a TA? Maybe she/he bought them from the Bon Voyage Dept. and had them delivered to your cabin as a surprise gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUcajunmom Posted June 15, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Never have received a tote on gold level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisergal 1 Posted June 15, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We received a tote bag on the Freedom 2 years ago, and we were not even gold yet. Everyone on board received one, as we saw many at the beaches. They're just the material ones, and are not waterproof, so they absorb the wet stuff. We always bring our own waterproof totes!

Sparky2 Posted June 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We've been on 12 Carnival cruises since 2003 and have never received a tote bag from Carnival. I also wonder if it was from a TA? We're now Platinum and do receive the Platinum gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted June 15, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Are you sure you aren't mixing up Carnival and Disney? On our Disney cruises, the returning gift has generally been a backpack, sling bag, tote bag, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted June 15, 2015 #12 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Ben cruising Carnival since 2006 and never a received a tote bag before I reached Platinum. I know HAL and Princess give tote bags to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been cruising on Carnival since the 90's and have never been given a tote bag except as a Platinum gift. Other cruise lines such as Holland America always give free tote bags but not Carnival.

evandbob Posted June 15, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I have a few Princess tote bags that I now use for bagging at the supermarket. Never got a Carnival tote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandemcruzr Posted June 15, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We are Platinum with 23 cruises. The only 'tote' we got was a combination tote and cooler as the Platinum gift. Still haven't used it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcancruise Posted June 15, 2015 #16 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We received a tote and a few other things a few years back. We were on what was referred to as a past guest cruise. I don't think they have them as such anymore. Not only did we receive some goodies, but got a great price on the cruise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted June 15, 2015 #17 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We have only cruised with Carnival once and that was with a group cruise organized by our TA. We did receive a tote along with many other surprise gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamawsnest Posted June 16, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I book my cruises on line and yes the totes say Carnival. I also have a couple of Disney ones but I won't be bringing them on a Carnival ship. LOL! Don't know why I got them but there you have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
