I still have several and use them for my weekly shop. We received one on the Golden earlier in the year. I must get it out of the cupboard and put it in my car for shopping. I must admit I didn't even think of using it for that purpose. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually received two on my last Celebrity cruise 4 years ago. One regular tote and another better quality one in a zippered pouch.

jayde43 Posted July 3, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Do you think if I ask for the better one they would give me one? I'm paying for nearly double for my stateroom as a solo traveller. So I guess it's worth the try :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mr walker Posted July 5, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 5, 2018 What is the etiquette for using 'branded' tote bags etc on another cruise-line? ;p Sort of like the recently reported issue where someone used a Coles bag at Woolworths and say they were told they couldn't do that! Does anyone wear say an RCI logo shirt on say a Princess or Carnival cruise? Now I have a bit of a collection of different ones, I don't want to cause any upset :evilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted July 6, 2018 #18 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I still take an old HAL bag on all cruise lines because it's lightweight and perfect for beach towels on shore excursions. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliair Posted July 6, 2018 #20 Share Posted July 6, 2018 At one of Princesses shopping sale held in the dining room, they had canvas bags for sale for $10 each. They are perfect for grocery shopping, are washable, and are sturdy. I have several of them already. The blue ones that Princess gives us are not sturdy and when washed, the white print on them washes out. I have several of those too but use them sparingly.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted July 6, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I don't like the cruise line bags as shopping bags, they are a bit bulky and, as elliair says, they don't wash well. If you happen to be doing a Med cruise in the next year or so that has French port stops, find the nearest Monoprix supermarket and stock up on their shopping bags, you get them at the grocery checkout counters. 1 Euro each and they last for ages - I have one that is at least eight years old and it's still going strong. They wash really well too. I can nest half a dozen inside each other, roll them up tightly, and they fit into my already overloaded handbag. Plus every time I use them I think of Paris! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Elephant Posted July 6, 2018 #23 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The photographers will avoid taking photos of you if are decked out in the gear of another cruise line. Which is very convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tara Jane Posted July 6, 2018 #25 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I wear my jacket bought on a celebrity cruise on all cruises. Its light, and good windbreaker and waterproof. I am with GUT couldnt care less what people think. I am not going to spend $60 -$70 on board just to have the "correct" garb. Bought this one when I had a FCC on board amount to spend.
