Newbury newbie Posted June 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Second cruise with celebrity fast approaching. Last year on the Eclipse we received a blue X tote bag in our cabin which was handy for taking to the pool. The wife would like to know whether this is standard and if we'll get another one this time on Reflection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanb41 Posted June 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yes you will and if Concierge Class or higher you get a better quality bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOP Posted June 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2015 We didn't get anything in our celebrity suite on the Solstice last year. You should have mentioned it to your butler...he/she would have probably accommodated your request as it was most likely an oversight or perhaps they ran out.

GUT2407 Posted June 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2015 And if there isn't one in your room ask Stewart he'll probably be able to find you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted June 28, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Second cruise with celebrity fast approaching. Last year on the Eclipse we received a blue X tote bag in our cabin which was handy for taking to the pool. The wife would like to know whether this is standard and if we'll get another one this time on Reflection? On Reflection, we sailed in Aqua and had to ask for a bag. Same was the case on Silhouette. It was one of those you would get FREE at events. The better quality ones with the "leather" trim are reportedly no longer available when we asked on our last few cruises. I brought one of my old "leather" trimmed beach bags from a previous cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaB Posted June 28, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The "leather" trimmed bags are now a different style. The new style is nice too, although I miss the previous style which looked much like a Longchamps bag. In our suites in recent cruises we've gotten both the nicer bag and the regular bag (which is much like a grocery store reusable bag). I'm sure if you missed the bag it was an oversight. Just ask. A couple times they weren't out on our bed. They were in a cabinet somewhere in the room and we stumbled upon them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Chris Posted June 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) There are two types as mentioned. One is the "complimentary tote bag," and the oter is the "Celebrity tote bag," both mentioned as promised amenities on the website. Everybody is supposed to receive the "complimentary" grocery-store reusable type...they are attractive and handy for the ship pool or beach and for use back home. Concierge and above are supposed to get a "Celebrity" tote made of more durable material that is folded to a small size and also handy as above or to toss in a suitcase for any trip. May not appear for a few days, but the steward should have (one per stateroom). On edit- I actually prefer the newer version of the "leather" trimmed "Celebrity tote bag." More than you ever cared to know on this subject? Edited June 28, 2015 by Caribbean Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snit13 Posted June 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2015 We received our leather handle bag on the Constellation in February so I now have a shelf full of them in my closet. We also received the grocery store type bag. This is the first we have seen that one. There has been a time or two when we had to ask but it was there that night when we returned. Don't be shy, just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted June 28, 2015 #11 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Any one have a picture of the "new" version of the Leather trim tote bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwcruisers Posted June 28, 2015 #12 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Butler on our recent Summit Cruise told me that X no longer has the nice leather-trimmed beach bags. We did, however, have one of the lightweight "shopping" bags in our suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they just ran out on our cruise, and the butler didn't want to admit it. I did find it interesting that something so iconic could be "phased out", without a massive discussion here on CC! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozark74 Posted June 28, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Any one have a picture of the "new" version of the Leather trim tote bag? If you have the old bag it is the same except that the handle is a webbed nylon instead of imitation leather. At one time we got the bags the first day. On the last few cruises we got the nicer bag the second day. The grocery bag has been there day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickey89 Posted June 28, 2015 #19 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Last time in concierge we had a quality tote bag, even better was the zipped bag it went into. Ideal to carry all my adapters and electrical plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champagne Cruiser Posted June 28, 2015 #22 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I have only had the Celebrity totes in Navy and I have quite a collection. I Have gifted them to DD and DIL. I like both styles as long as the pouch still snaps into the inside for carrying incidentals. ButI do agree the leather type handles did give it a more "Modern Luxury" feel:cool: The only time I had to ask for it was when I was in a suite. Go figure ( but our butler story is a long one and not a happy one so we are back to AQ.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted June 28, 2015 #23 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thank you Gimletgal..!! we looking forward to getting another bag with the faux leather handles. I really thought those were the nicest of the cruiseline tote bags. too bad they don't have those anymore...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted June 28, 2015 #24 Share Posted June 28, 2015 While I find the tote with the faux leather handles more attractive I do have to admit that, at least for me, the ones with the web straps stay in place on my shoulder more easily than the ones with the faux leather handles.

wwcruisers Posted June 28, 2015 #25 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thank you for the pictures, Beth! Wow -- you must have quite a collection of tote bags! :cool: By the time we started cruising with X (2010) the white zippered bags had been replaced with the blue ones.
