Typhoon1 Posted March 6, 2013 #26 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It may happen, then again it may not. HAL seems to have been making numerous changes recently, so expect the unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted March 6, 2013 #27 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I've only seen the tan canvas bags. We did a Collector cruise a few years ago and didn't get a second bag of any color. I was surprised to see the canvas bags when we returned to HAL in 2010 after many years away. (I still have my old ones from the 80s) Most cruise lines have stopped giving out bags. But sometimes you're better off without a gift bag. The second time we were on the Norway, NCL gave out what was basically a plastic shopping bag. The plastic was very sturdy, but the blue ink rubbed off! When we got off the tender on the privage island, I discovered a big streak of blue on my leg where the bag had been against my skin. Somebody told me that the ink was soluble in sunscreen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson's aunt Posted March 6, 2013 #28 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi Darn I should have asked my brother to bring the bag home when he sailed in January on the Zurerdam. I asked him to bring me the tile but he didn't see them and did not ask. Brothers I got one of those old bags on the Amsterday on cruise to Alaska.

sammygoose Posted March 6, 2013 #29 Share Posted March 6, 2013 On our Oct NA cruise we got 3 blue tote bags as described. There were 3 of us in our cabin. On our Eurodam cruise we got a letter stating we got a gift of a tote bag as a gift for booking our cruise though a CAA travel agent. One for the two of us. Same type of blue bag. We now have 3 brand new blue bags never used. @sail....not the same bag as you described and linked for a collectors cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 6, 2013 #30 Share Posted March 6, 2013 On our 'just finished' cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam, they did not have the blue and tan bags. I did ask if we could have one for the second segment of our Collector's Cruise, but the cabin steward said that there were none on the ship. We did get one of the new blue bags for each segment the night before our fist port. Sorry you didn't get one of the new Collector's bags -- they are so much nicer than the regular bags and much stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 6, 2013 #31 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I really like the Collector's bags. Nice quality, sturdy, larger, pocket in the front..... Mariner Logo on one side. I think they did a good job designing and having these made. I thought they were going to give them for only a limited amount of time but we still get them on every Collector's Cruise we take.

gelo7 Posted March 7, 2013 #32 Share Posted March 7, 2013 They should be there. We got ours the last few cruises, including one this year. They are not canvas by the way, but a light, woven cotton-type of material. Enjoy :) Ditto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda&Vern Posted March 7, 2013 #33 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Currently on the Westerdam. Our "new blue fabric" bag was on our bed after dinner the 1st night ... unfortunately we couldn't tender to HMC the next day. We have gotten a tote every cruise. I'll let you know if we receive a special Collector's Cruise tote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really nice IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
