fdpevey Posted January 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Preparing for our first Haven experience, first suite experience with NCL. On Princess, when we had a suite for my husband's 60th birthday on a cruise through the Panama Canal, the suite included a Princess tote bag which we used to carry things on excursions, to the pool and/or to the spa and thermal suite. And we've used the tote bag since on other cruises since. This bag was in our suite when we boarded. Will we find a NCL tote for us in a Haven suite? (Small issue, because I can just pack my Princess one ... but one less thing to pack if it is going to be provided.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leavethekidswithmom Posted January 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Pack your Princess one. No tote bags on NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted January 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If it is a Princess logo bag I would not take it on a competitor ship. That's just MHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuiteCruiser Posted January 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) As much as I find it strange to see people on the tender to Grand Cayman wearing Grand Cayman shirts, I also find it strange to see people on NCL wearing Princess shirts. I also have a Princess tote bag, which I loved getting in my very first suite ever, but I don't think I'd bring it on NCL either. I think I'd go generic, but if you do bring it, you could just tell people that you're carrying it "ironically" which seems to be what I hear from my kids lately :) Bottom line, enjoy your cruise :) Edited January 8, 2016 by SuiteCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrandal Posted January 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Uh, it's a bag.. Worry about what it can hold, not what it says on the outside. People have the oddest concerns. I know OP didn't care, she just wanted to know if one was included, but I found the responses humorous. Thanks for posting, we have our first Haven experience coming up in February on the Getaway!

seaskydoll Posted January 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2016 We have been on the Gem and Spirit in the last 6 months and the gift shops didn't even have an NCL bag to buy! Definitely bring your Princess bag. Maybe NCL will see other cruise line items and bring these things back.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted January 8, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Carry your Princess bag with pride. I'd wear a RCCL hat with a Carvival shirt while carrying a Disney bag if I had any of that stuff. I'm not concerned with what the NCL crew thinks of me. THEY should be concerned with what I think of THEM. Showing that you've sailed with other lines tells the crew that they need to try to exceed whatever standard the other line achieved.

DominicAUS Posted January 8, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 8, 2016 NCL and Princess even though different companies Are all under the same Carnival umbrella company. Handy to know they don't provide a beach bag. Enjoy your cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy to know they don't provide a beach bag. Enjoy your cruise Actually NCL is not part of the Carnival Corp. There are many cruise lines that are, but I don't believe NCL to be one. But that is here nor there, I really don't think anyone cares if someone is making use of something that happens to have another lines logo. I wouldn't think twice. I used my NCL lanyard on my last RCI cruise. I like the length of it so it is the one I use. Happy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtgumby Posted January 8, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Pack your Princess one. No tote bags on NCL. I agree completely, pack your bag proudly! We love our very nice Celebrity totes and even the not as nice backpacks they provide and I show them off while using them. If NCL wants us to advertise for them then they will provide suite guests with bags, glad Celebrity still does! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulh84 Posted January 8, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I can hear the snickers from the crew now...Did you see that lady carrying her Princess bag?? :eek::eek::eek: Stop. The. Ship. Seriously...take it. For my pool bag I use a bag that was originally meant to carry blocks of ice in Maine and still haven't got made fun of once :cool: And thinking back on it, most high end resorts I have stayed in actually have provided some sort of bag to use. Maybe NCL should take note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted January 8, 2016 #18 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just cover the Princess logo with duct tape and write 'NCL' in with a marker. Problem solved. You're welcome. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyetlse Posted January 8, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I never bother myself. The porters at the pier have tape and markers, so I make them do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
