lsp Posted October 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Sorry, haven't been on here for a while but does anyone know what the current platinum gift is? We sail on the Freedom 1/1/19. Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinaLC Posted October 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2018 A week ago on Elation it was an over the shoulder type mini backpacker, probably best suited to carry a water bottle and sundries. Honestly, probably the least attractive option we have seen. We left both on board, something we’ve never done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted October 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) We got the backpack thing as well last week on Conquest. Took both home and hopefully will get some use out of them Edited October 30, 2018 by Micah's Grandad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB2VA Posted October 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If you already have the same gift, you can go to Customer Service and see if they will exchange it for a different gift. Sometimes they have extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottacruises Posted October 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Got the little bag too a few weeks ago from Galveston. Going on freedom in a couple of weeks and hopefully the same. The little bags are handy for my go pro, money, and id's while going into port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc4125 Posted October 31, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 31, 2018 We got the small cross body bag also on the Glory last week. It's the only Platinum gift we actually used while on board. I forgot my small beach bag for the pool & this thing was perfect!! Held my Kindle & sunscreen in main compartment. It has a couple of small zipper areas - perfect for the S&S card, tip $$, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostPuppy Posted October 31, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) We got the cross-body bag on the Horizon last week. While very nice, it's nothing we wanted or needed and left them in the cabin when we departed.... Edited October 31, 2018 by LostPuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogladyrider Posted October 31, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Our favorite platinum gifts have been Tervis tumblers, Carnival night lite; Carnival blankets....all on past cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECRUISE4US Posted October 31, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Got the cross body bag on the Horizon last week and traded them for the night lights thanks to the Guest Services person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
factotumdeb Posted October 31, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks for your suggestion, BananaAnna. When I logged back in to see if I got any replies, the bag was visible now! So, YAY, I got to see it. Thanks all for your posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! I haven't seen the blanket or the night light. I'll pass on another Tervis Tumbler though 🙂 Also, we got the "back pack" I guess, back in August but I haven't opened it up yet. Hummm now I have to go find it, if I can use it for my Kindle etc. on the Serenity deck, that would be great. I hope they have something different in January!

VolzCruiser Posted November 15, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 15, 2018 On the Horizon last week we got the Mini Backpack. I actually like it as one who likes to keep that organized when traveling it will work great as a container for my usb chargers, cables, and things along those lines and once on ship can turn around use it in ports I don't need a full backpack.

Anyislandwilldo Posted November 17, 2018 #16 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Go the mini back pack thing as well on the Paradise. Went to Guest Services and they didn't have anything to exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogladyrider Posted November 17, 2018 #17 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Just got off Breeze 14 day Journeys cruise this morning and we also received the grey backpack item and we like it! Worked out well for carry bottled water ashore and other items, nice zippered compartments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got off Breeze this morning after the 14 day Journeys cruise and we got the gray backpack items and we like them. I even took along the Carnival nite lite and plugged it into the outlet in the bathroom for use and it worked perfectly! We got the blankets earlier in 2018 either on our Magic or Vista cruises.

mumofsons Posted November 17, 2018 #19 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I got the cross body bag at the beginning of October - used it the next day while on the beach - it holds quite a bit two wallets, camera, two cell phones etc. I really like it. The night lights went into the drawer somewhere and the blankets are in a closet. Sadly one of my husbands favorite platinum gift...the awlful Croc's visor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted November 19, 2018 #20 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Just off the Glory, got the gray cross body bag. Love it. several pockets, zipper compartments. It was perfect to carry a bottle of water + small wallet + phone + ship card/ID + sunscreen. All fit rather nicely, with room for more, light weight, adjustable strap. I am wondering how often they change these gifts. This is one we really will use. I like the idea for putting our ship pins on it. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2xsin12mths Posted November 19, 2018 #21 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Just off Horizon yesterday. Also, received the gray mini backpack. Gave one to my granddaughter and may use the other? We have had worse gifts and better gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted November 19, 2018 #22 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The value of any particular gift is just an individual's personal preference. I've been Platinum for less than a year-2 cruises, so have enjoyed both gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
