Rare Mary229 Posted July 18, 2022 #28 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I am not a fan of the plastic one but can see it’s use for wet suits and sandy flip flops. Last cruise I tried to leave it but found it useful to wrap my dirty sneakers in. My sis tried to leave hers but she forgot to pack her dirty laundry and used it for that purpose until she got her luggage. As you can tell I am not a fan. I love the hat but my old canvas one is now a rock hounding bag, very durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstrong Posted July 18, 2022 #29 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I use my plastic bags at the grocery store. They work great and can rinse the out if needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 19, 2022 #32 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Is this the devolution of the cruise bags ? Carnival bag from 10 years ago was made of canvas , heavy duty carrying straps and an insulated compartment for 10 cool drinks . This is what our Club Orange Bag looks like for an added cost . Some canvas and smaller . Our recycled plastic bag from our Neptune Suite cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to San Diego in April and the Carnival bag . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hat is even better than the bag was (though I, like many, prefer a canvas bag to a plastic one, yet I'm also aware the carbon footprint of the canvas bag is actually HIGHER...) Sigh. I'm trying to train myself to refuse swag I won't use. I think that's the most environmentally friendly choice, but it's hard to say no to free. Even free junk! 🤦🏼♀️ My souvenir of choice from ports is tea towels. I use them at home and happily recall cool places while doing my least favorite kitchen chores. St. Andrews, Scotland by my sink right now, and Hilton Head just went into the 🧺 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highscar Posted July 21, 2022 #38 Share Posted July 21, 2022 @willoL thanks. Thinking about making the same with the plastic bags. Aka rain protector. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We received the booklet on the last night. There was only 1 Mariner Drink card in the stateroom when we boarded, but the steward supplied the second one when we asked.

Some canvas and smaller . For our last Neptune Suite cruise in 2019, we received a similar bag without “Club Orange” printed on it. I use it as a gym bag and like the zipper and net pockets for my water bottle. Unfortunately the white ”canvas” part running horizontally at the top is actually not canvas but some sort of white coating that has been flaking off.

Rare zgscl Posted July 25, 2022 #42 Share Posted July 25, 2022 On our July 9th Eurodam sailing they told us they were out of stock of the Club Orange bags and did not get anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MISTER 67 Posted July 25, 2022 #44 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) The canvas bags were very nice, they can keep the cheap garbage bags they're handing out now. Edited July 25, 2022 by MISTER 67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely were nicer. I remember seeing a woman wearing a vest she had made from HAL canvas bags. Love that hat posted earlier! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
