SDWCruise Posted September 7 #1 Share Posted September 7 Can anyone confirm if you still receive a complimentary tote bag in your room in Retreat? Just trying to save on packing unnecessary items … thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bremenkat Posted September 7 #4 Share Posted September 7 We had to ask for one on Ascent a couple of weeks ago. Our steward told us they were only giving them to people who asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRWPA Posted September 7 #7 Share Posted September 7 There was one hiding in one of the cupboards on my recent Beyond cruise. Nice bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Virgo Posted September 7 #8 Share Posted September 7 as NRWPA said, found it hiding in closet. That's what happened to us and on 2nd retreat cabin, was on the bed. Both were different qualities as one was waterproof inside the other not. So. If you dont see it, ask 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabbyRose Posted September 9 #13 Share Posted September 9 We got 2 on the Silhouette about 11 days ago. It’s a good quality canvas tote with a small zipper pouch inside the bag. Our room attendant personally gave them to us. We’re in an obstructed balcony cabin if that makes any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t finding them on the bed or table as in the past. They have been on various shelves in the closet, often under a book, laundry bag, binoculars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranasa Posted September 9 #16 Share Posted September 9 We just had the cheaper version in our S1 on Apex in August but we have many so didn't ask for one. We did have to ask our butler for the card holder which he said they aren't providing anymore but he had a few floating around. We usually bring the little card holder but forgot it this time so was happy he was able to get one to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted September 9 #17 Share Posted September 9 On recent Apex TA, it was hidden in the white cylinder seat that has the top that comes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Virgo Posted September 9 #18 Share Posted September 9 I know this is off topic, but the inconsistency across the fleet is amazing. March in Retreat, boxed chocolates 2 nights (DH looks forward to it). The Effy locket,never got. no biggie there. Some retreat had fresh flowers. We didnt just assumed new staff. Theatre reserved seating on Chic night. July Retreat. chocolates 1x. Theatre, every night resserved area for Retreat. 🤷♀️. As I mentioned, one tote was lined, other cruise no.

Some ppl seemed to have reusable celebrity grocery shopping bags but we got canvas (not retreat but captains club.) I don’t know if there’s any distinction or if we just lucked out. Almost didn’t take it home, but I’ve been using it as a bag to take my stuff to work and I’m liking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's by loyalty status it's no wonder it's inconsistent. You would have to know a head of time the loyalty status of passengers staying in each stateroom.

Cap_D Posted September 10 #23 Share Posted September 10 Just want to chime in that providing a bag to toss around during the trip is a nice touch even when you may brought a backpack or another travel bag for excursions and the pool deck. It's a small thing, but nice hotels provide little things to make the stay easier. This is something that hopefully is kept. The events team could host a decorating activity for the canvas bags. And, a sharpie marker would come in handy to put "if found" return contact info on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
