N2Mischief Posted April 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I believe it is still the checker/chess board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinpips Posted April 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Please tell me you jest....wife just turned Platinum and I was hoping she would get something useful...!!! I wouldn't waste my space in the luggage for a chess/checker set... Yes I know it's free, but that is soooo lame!! I hope that changes before June....[emoji31][emoji31] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Boy Posted April 22, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2015 not sure about the Breeze, but we just got off the Sensation and we got the sundry bag ... I was needing a new one so I was happy.... it has a hang up hook so that will be perfect in the small bathrooms on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poison7fl Posted April 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Just off the Valor last week and it was the Checker/Chess set. It's pretty nice little set and very compact. I'll never use it, but it was free and the kids love it. It's a free gift...:rolleyes: Assure your wife she will get something useful, regardless of what it is....

love my grandkids Posted April 22, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Sometimes you can go to guest service and swap for something else. On Pride last month choice of checkerboard or checkboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribnsnrklr Posted April 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just off the Breeze two weeks ago and yes its the Checkerboard set. I called to see what else they had and they said Mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N2Mischief Posted April 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Yeah, I won't look a gift horse in the mouth, but we just got off B2B2B2B so we ended up with 8 of the checkerboards! lol We were able to trade two for travel mugs, we kept 2, we gave another 2 away to random people on the ship that were playing games, and the last 2 we gave back to Carnival because my husband was angry over a totally unrelated issue and said he didn't want it! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor_jimc Posted April 23, 2015 #13 Share Posted April 23, 2015 If you were looking forward to "useful" gifts when you became platinum, I'm afraid you are going to be very disappointed. Very few of the gifts have been useful. It has gotten better in the last few years but they used to have the same tired gifts for a year or more... Like others have said, its a "free gift" don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texast518 Posted April 23, 2015 #22 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Just got a nice zipper case with stainless thermos and 2 stainless cups. Not sure if Platinum or Premier casino. Just checked thermos, says Players on leather wrap. Edited April 23, 2015 by texast518 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyMac13 Posted April 23, 2015 #23 Share Posted April 23, 2015 We have 6 toiletry bags from 2 previous cruises and I use one whenever I travel. On our last cruise, we got 2 more and when I asked if we could exchange them, I was told that anything else. We've stopped taking the over the door shoe holder for extras now that we have these bags, as we hang them from the hooks on the bathroom door and find that works just as well.

drosphot Posted April 23, 2015 #24 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Freedom in April was the chess/checker set. If the Triumph has them in November we'll get two this time as I make Platinum on this cruise. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingoftheicedragons Posted April 26, 2015 #25 Share Posted April 26, 2015 How often do they change the platinum gift? Is it approximately six months, a year, or is there really no rhyme or reason to when they change? We're about to book what will become our platinum cruise for next January. I'm not too excited about this gift (of course, it's a free gift, so we'll take them and probably keep one and give one away) but I have seen some of the past guest gifts that I liked more.
