Rare Wildcatllamas Posted October 18, 2022 #27 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Absolutely none on the Discovery last week. I have a nice canvas one from Virgin and the zippered one from Celebrity. It is a shame that Princess is making a lot of cuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went on my first Celebrity cruise a couple of weeks ago. One of the things they have you was a tote bag, but instead of it being like the Princess ones that look and feel cheap, this one was better material, and zippered, as well as had a smaller zippered bag inside. Very nice. And I get cutbacks at some level, but I'm guessing those tote bags cost them maybe 10 cents a piece in bulk. And it's really cheap advertising for them. Penny-wise, pound-foolish move if they're gone for good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if I'll get a reaction if I just bring my Celebrity tote with me. If one claims to be a Celebrity one is obviously not a celebrity. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted February 4, 2023 #33 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) I "think" we got one on Royal in May. On Ruby in December they were missing. We used to use them as grocery bags when we were limited to cloth bags. These days the stores here have gone to using heavy duty plastic bags and we re-use those. The Princess bags tend to get old and rip. I'm sure we still have a bunch of them around. We never used one on the ship or took one ashore. I'm always surprised to see people walking around some port town with their blue Princess bag and a lanyard with their cruise card hanging around their neck.

Wonder if I'll get a reaction if I just bring my Celebrity tote with me. Sooo, just in case, I brought my nice canvas, zippered, Celebrity tote with me for our Crown Princess cruise. Not a (free) tote bag to be had- our Steward said they had none. No reaction to the competition's tote from the crew, but I did have a few ladies ask where I'd gotten it.

bjkTX Posted February 5, 2023 #36 Share Posted February 5, 2023 None on the Emerald in Oct or the Ruby in Dec. Ruined both cruises! :-) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted February 6, 2023 #38 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I am of the opinion that the totes have totally been discontinued at some point in the past. Various ships have been handing them out "while supplies last" just to get rid of them. I believe that once they're gone the only way you're going to get one is to contact John Padgett. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradiselivin1 Posted February 6, 2023 #39 Share Posted February 6, 2023 None on Enchanted in December and none given on current Majestic cruise in NZ although I thought I'd read on earlier roll calls for this same cruise that people had received them...

I have no use for them at home (although have occasionally used the three canvas bags that I got from being in a WS). I figured that some day when I move I can use them to pack things! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare startedwithamouse Posted February 6, 2023 #43 Share Posted February 6, 2023 We asked for a couple on Emerald Princess last month and were given a small stack since they're trying to get rid of them. We use them as grocery bags at home for a few months until they fall apart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
