Yvonne Posted January 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We had an aft balcony cabin on the January 4th sailing of the Silhouette and we had a tote bag and umbrella in our room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, if you take the umbrella home, you will be charged. Same with the bath robes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone. Yes,there's a tote bag provided but it's those thin, recycled plastic fiber bags that are given out free and not regular canvas cloth. It will hold up for the cruise but not much longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted January 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Have not seen canvas tote bags in Veranda cabins in some years. Useful on board. We travel with one and bring it on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwokpot Posted January 22, 2022 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This is the included free bag that you can take home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YoPhilly Posted January 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We stayed in Aqua Class last month and received the heavier tote that comes folded into a a zipped case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks exactly (color and style, past years it was blue) like the one we received on our Summit September 2019 cruise in a balcony stateroom.

gfkcruiser Posted January 22, 2022 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2022 What is given in concierge these days? Debating on what type of tote to bring. We were in veranda in December and got the open tote shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinboy Posted January 22, 2022 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2022 LOL--- Whatever you read here, do not cancel your cruise !! IF by chance there is NO tote bag in your room ( either in a drawer or on the bed ) ask your Butler or Room Steward to see if they can " find one for you " ( $$ ). With any luck ( $$ ) they will. ( No worries-- You won't need too much " luck " ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted January 22, 2022 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2022 We are currently in a veranda on the Equinox and received a thin, grey tote bag in our room. I already have several of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vickykay Posted January 22, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thanks everyone. We also have a collection of both kinds at home and one here in Fl. Just wanted to know if needed an additional tote ( we each like one for the pool). We find the thin ones are fine to take a couple of towels to the beach. Fingers crossed we will be boarding the Apex in the 29th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in veranda in December and got the open tote shown. We cruised the Summit in Concierge in December and got one of the heavier bag-in-a-bag totes in our room the night before our port day. However, it may depend on the particular cruise and what supplies they've managed to get as we were on the Nov 22 Silhouette cruise out of FLL in a suite, and got nothing but the standard freebie bag. Given some of the differences between that cruise and our Miami Summit cruise later that month, we could tell they seemed to be missing a fair amount of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, ok, I confess to bringing home 2 bars of that nice lavender peppermint soap from my last cruise. However, I never asked, they just appeared like magic, and I did tip him handsomely, as he was great all around, not just because the magically appearing soaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we would go out to dinner, she always took the extra large pocketbook so she could take the unused bread and butter pads and salt and pepper if they were in packets, because "they are only going to throw them away when we leave". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be serious though, we have always had excellent service from our Room Steward and it was a pleasure to tip extra and always received a " genuine " Thank You and hope to see you again. A nice way to end a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to respond that as a frequent cruiser I collect these types of bags from all different types of places which is why I have more than I can use. TBH it just dawned on me that I should just leave it in the cabin and NOT TAKE IT rather than literally having bags of bags at home in a closet collecting dust.

Isn't that why they leave the bag there in the first place ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
