Pointkitten Posted October 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Does HAL leave totes in the staterooms for the guests? They sure are useful!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted October 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think we've gotten them on every cruise, but it seems that on some it has been just one for the cabin, not one per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflyrc5 Posted October 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We are currently on the Maasdam - we got the blue thin cloth tote -not sure it will last for our 42 days. We got the nice canvas one our last trip - will see if we can get one o those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2013 They no longer provide the nice canvas bags. These are more like the lesser type grocery totes. We're happy we have a stack of the Mariners Totes that I love and the former canvas, tan colored HAL totes. Way better than the current one IMO However, to answer your question, a tote will be left in your cabin the night before your first port. If he forgets, ask for one.

Krazy Kruizers Posted October 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2013 HAL has been giving out the new thinner blue bag for several months -- we got one on the Westerdam last March/April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2013 While that shows the bag it doesn't tell the feel of the fabric which I find unpleasant to the touch. I won't use that bag. :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Sorry -- I don't know how to make a picture so that people can feel the bag. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the great pic! It should be fine for the pool and beach. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovely other Posted October 28, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We got the little blue one ...I agree with Sail the fabric is awful. My hubby used it to cart his bits around the ship (he was still working while onboard !) but personally I wouldn't use it in ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointkitten Posted October 28, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Guess I can always use my Princess one ;). I really like that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ2002 Posted October 28, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Sorry -- I don't know how to make a picture so that people can feel the bag. :D I got a chuckle from your response KK. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankc98376 Posted October 28, 2013 #13 Share Posted October 28, 2013 So do they still have the nicer Mariner bags for Collectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson's aunt Posted October 29, 2013 #14 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hi I have seen other cruise lines with plastic bags. Sorry HAl has gone the cheap way. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 29, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 29, 2013 So do they still have the nicer Mariner bags for Collectors? I think they have stopped giving the nice Mariners bags on Collector's Cruises. I really like those bags and am happy we got a collection when we did. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda&Vern Posted October 29, 2013 #16 Share Posted October 29, 2013 We received the new blue fabric bag (yuck to touch) on our March Collectors Cruise. We did get one of the nice Mariner Bags when DH did the "behind the scenes tour" a few years back on the Z. I love that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 29, 2013 #17 Share Posted October 29, 2013 When we got the new, small blue bag -- I just put it away and used one of the Mariner's bags that I take along with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted October 29, 2013 #18 Share Posted October 29, 2013 We got the rough blue bag on our last Maasdam cruise in the spring. I have a stash of the old canvas ones and will throw one in the suitcase. We usually use a back back when leaving the ship in port, but I like using the HAL bag around the pool, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
