I have gotten one on each cruise, so each time I have taken them home. I have used them on other trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used them on other trips. I wouldn't use them on an airplane so that would leave road trips. I have a probably 15-20 y.o. Harrods tote in still perfect condition that the dog's 'stuff' goes in 🙂 And a pretty sturdy fabric bag that I got in a neighborhood shop when we lived in San Francisco. I also have a very few that we carry groceries in so we don't use paper. A couple of years ago I subscribed to a magazine and it came with a tote. I immediately donated it. Just curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was an Education administrator for 30 something years and went to many conventions and seminars. They were always big about giving away tote bags. The last time I had a garage sale I had a box full that I was giving away for free, and still didn't get rid of all of them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted October 24, 2019 #30 Share Posted October 24, 2019 On our recent cruises the blue color remained blue but the tint changed ... I've never seen that tan one! We find them very convenient just for shopping ... but bear in mind that many people in other cities that are not NYC tend to drive to the market. We don't! So these totes are very handy for general shopping and just carrying items around. We never dispose of them and we have MANY ... They are very sturdy.

CintiPam Posted October 24, 2019 #31 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I have the same tan one which I obtained by redeeming “O” points several years ago, earned mostly by playing trivia. It’s a nice sturdy bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firsttimers68 Posted October 24, 2019 #32 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I bring the blue one home, and give it to a friend, or local charity shop. I now have the tan one above, from my O points, and am now at the stage where I am "bagged out"! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingaussies Posted October 27, 2019 #33 Share Posted October 27, 2019 We're looking forward to our first cruise with O in December (after over 40 cruises on other lines). Is this correct that you only get a tote bag if travelling in Concierge and PH cabins? If so, as we are in a C2, that means I'll have to take my Azamara tote along and give them the free advertising! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in a C1 and we'll definitely be expecting at least one really decent bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We have 3 more Oceania cruises booked for next year and I'm getting confused). With all those booked, sure hope we like cruising with O! From what I read, there's no reason not to like.

Here in a few days all returning guests Bronze and above will get a tote bag. I wonder if you get a second if you're in Concierge or higher. I'm sure the new ones will be different than the ones we've seen before. More for the collection. 😏 I am anxious to see what the new amenities of VIP Port Disembarkation and Priority Terminal Check in are. While I'm wondering, is the complimentary bottle of wine red or white? Can you trade it for something sparkling? I guess I'll know in a few days.

Rare ORV Posted October 28, 2019 #43 Share Posted October 28, 2019 While not looking for it I stumbled across the answer to one of my questions above. Here is the wine that you can purchase from the Bon Voyage gifts. I'm assuming it's probably the same as what you get for the Loyalty perk. Darn, I was hoping for some Silver Trident. 🤑 I'd also assume you get your choice once you're in the room.

And maybe a tote is a perk no matter which category cabin you’re in? This will be our first cruise with them. I’m not that fussed one way or the other, just don’t want to take a tote along if we’ll be given one (that could be room for two more pairs of shoes instead 😁). We’re on Regatta in December in a C1.

I am going to say take one of your totes along because we have been in a C cabin many times & never received a tote bag in the past JMO I have a small folding back pack I take to carry sunscreen/water etc so I do not need a big totebag to drag around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a small, very lightweight bag which folds up to nothing I’ll use. And I’m sure I’ll still find room for all my shoes, tote or no tote. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
