Having that many valuable Club Orange tote bags in your home is bound to drive up your insurance costs! That’s it exactly 😛. I can’t afford those premiums.

Perhaps you could send him your extras While I appreciate the sentiment, we want to EARN our CO tote bag, with honor and dignity. We can put it on the shelf with our various HAL tote bags dating back to the 1990s. Because we understand VALUE. When we sail off on our final voyage to the great beyond, we know that our heirs will value our tote bags. (Mostly because they can use them to carry off the actual valuables.) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The totes are in the closet, on a top shelf, above DW's jackets. So, if you come a-thievin', grab a tote bag and then stuff it with booty. (Pro burgling tip: The older HAL totes were heavier canvas. If you are going for the Waterford crystal and Steuben glass sculptures, grab an older HAL bag.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would have taken the bag but I was worried about the weight of my luggage. I had business going down but westjet premium coming back so only 50 lbs. I have hard sided luggage so it weighs a bit empty so that doesn’t help. I just have to much stuff and I wouldn’t want to deal with eBay. All kidding aside I really like those bags. They zip which is a plus. I do miss the old canvas bags, though. Although I probably have half a dozen floating around somewhere in my house. I still use them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on a pinnacle ship time is of the essence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would depend on how the other perks appealed to you to decide if it is worth it on the other classes of ships (R, Vista, Signature class) as they do not have the separate dining room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My steward put mine there on the Oosterdam pre-cruise and I didn’t even see it. When I asked him for one, he pulled it down for me. If you don’t have one - ask your steward before it’s too late. Alternatively - hop on one of the sailings with me and I’ll give you one of mine (unused). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not mentioned to steward but will check cabin a bit. We disembark tomorrow. Also, have not been offered menu despite wait staff knowing we have it. We have same staff nightly. We are traveling with others and it became awkward to ask waiters so we stopped asking. We make the habit of checking menu ourselves as we enter DR. If it is if interest we place it as our order. I mainly booked Club Orange to move from VH guarantee to chosen VA balcony. It is nice to not have to stand in line at guest services. BTW, this 16 day TA has been wonderful. No complaints!

Sea Hag Posted May 27, 2023 #123 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I got off the dime this morning, called HAL, and got CO. It took a little while, but really not all that long. The lady on the phone was very nice and helpful. I now have the veranda cabin that I was too thrifty (cheap!) to book at the get go. And I'm hoping for one of those orange tote bags to add to my tall stack of Princess blue tote bags. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in thr same situation on the Koingsdam, with booking the aft facing Verandah which is the highest Verandah category. No. When they rang to ask about CO they were told on the phone they would get the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
