Jolokia Posted February 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2019 John, yes, they are similar to the reusable bags you get at the grocery store. They are in your room when you arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 8, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Don't put anything heavy in them -- they are cheap. We have always gotten on the night before our first port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 8, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You are welcome. The canvas bags that we got many years ago were much better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceanmom Posted February 8, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) The last couple of cruises in the last year Neptune Suites have gotten a very nice tote bag--or else the stewards like us. And when I was clearing out my parents' house when they moved into memory care, I found one of those nice canvas bags. Score!!

GulfShoresCruiser Posted February 8, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 8, 2019 We got a new one last month on the Nieuw Statendam and they are perfect for grocery shopping. It's a nice touch and they come in handy on beach days too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canvas bags that we got many years ago were much better Krazy Kruisers - I agree. The canvas bags are nice. I still have a few. If you're a married couple cruising, you get one bag per cabin. If you're friends cruising together you each get a bag. That doesn't make sense. Everyone pays the same fare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted February 8, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 8, 2019 If you ask your room steward they will give you another. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, We still bring ours on board and use them , as they are much more durable. We often get some nice comments on on old style bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare boards Posted February 8, 2019 #13 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) We use our "blue bags" for grocery's all the time. They will handle heavy items within reason. Bag of milk, some can goods, but don't over do it. Better than having to collect the plastic bags (which they charge for). They are also a good conversational piece as well.

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 8, 2019 #15 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Cruise Card -- on HAL it is called ID card. You will get your ID card when you check in at the terminal. You will have to scan that card when you get on the ship. Before you get your ID card, your picture will be taken and each time you scan your ID card to get on and off the ship, your picture will show up. Wherever you use your ID card on the ship -- bar/lounge, gift shop, etc., -- your picture will also show up on their computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted February 8, 2019 #21 Share Posted February 8, 2019 DW has saved many tote bags (mostly from cruises) over the years and the quality on nearly all the cruise lines has declined over the years. But our favorites are HAL bags that used to be given out on Grand Voyages especially a few heavy duty blue bags that have zipper closures. Not sure what they currently give out on those long cruises. We also have some decent Celebrity bags...which are very heavy duty but have no zippers. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
