Markmom18 Posted September 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Oh and my husband got a Carnival pin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobe1 Posted September 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Yep. Unzip it and look on the inside. It says "Very Important Fanny Pack". That had been the gift for a good while now. According to our 15 year old, fanny packs are back in style, only you throw them cross ways over your shoulder now??? I dont know. Cant keep up with trends anymore. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted September 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I was actually wondering what the current gifts were this morning. We are sailing again in a few weeks and I was hoping the gifts had changed since our last cruise. Thanks for the update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasdan Posted September 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2023 We gave ours to our grandkids. They loved the fanny pack. 10 and 8 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm way past the buying back to school supplies phase😉. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a fanny pack, and when they put them cross body trying to make it look cool - it's STILL a fanny pack lolol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD64 Posted October 7, 2023 #13 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Herschel and LuluLemon have made it a thing! In Canada everyone wears them crossbody. No longer called Fanny Packs - the kids at school call them “Satchels”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cellfree Posted October 8, 2023 #16 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Gave mine to six-year old granddaughter, you’d think I’d given her “gold!” 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the Miracle a few weeks ago, and on my way to brunch one morning I stopped to pick up my pin and gift. I saw a grandmother and her maybe eight year old granddaughter picking up photos. I asked the grandmother if maybe the girl might want my pin and gift. My gosh, that little girl was so excited! It made me feel good all day. 😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaz Posted October 8, 2023 #18 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I finally make Platinum next weekend. <applause> I take it these have to be picked up at Pixels and they are no longer placed in your stateroom, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Fart Cruisers Posted October 8, 2023 #20 Share Posted October 8, 2023 This is what we got on our last two cruises on Venezia. Just one of them per person. Carnival must have blown their VIFP gift budget on Cross-body bags. As I'm sure everyone knows, those deluxe Cross-body bags cost so much more than cheep fanny packs😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to be all that impressed, but their parents do because they know what it means. The same with the dime store gift when it's appropriate. I did love the insulated glasses though. Eventually acquired a set. Loved them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually acquired a set. Loved them. Good for you, this was a first for me to pick my gift up at the photo shop. Sometimes you are moved by The Big Guy to make someone happy right in front of you and sometimes it works out. This little girl was so excited and the grandmother was able to take credit for the gift. I still feel that it’s nice that Carnival does this for us. When I lost my wife I donated 20 years of gifts that we never used, including the glasses. We had fun bickering to get rid of all of it. I still have the memories of the fun cruises. 😊🛳️ I still have a Carnival blanket and memories of a spot on a hill in Cabo that I will never give up. ❤️ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
