Domergirl Posted March 11, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Not sure. We have a couple of them, but we haven't used them yet. Why don't you try testing it? Put a few pieces of paper in it, then submerge it in your bathtub. Open it up...if the paper's wet...it's not waterproof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Shoes2Go Posted March 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Usually the gift is delivered on first elegant night. That’s second night on shorter cruises. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campdaan Posted March 12, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We are on the Sunshine and got Tervis cups again. This seems to be the default gift, as we have gotten them several times. The beach bags are really nice. Enjoy them. And if Carnival is listening, I always liked the blue 6-pack coolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the coolers are/were great! We got tumblers a week ago for b2b on Fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted March 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I find I get more use out of the gifts from the casino on premium or ultra cruises than the platinum/diamond gift. If I have no use for a gift, I try to find a blue or red card who might appreciate it. Of course, I'm jaded, having been platinum/diamond for 27 cruises since 2009.

2Shoes2Go Posted March 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Yes, we do mostly give them away. Our daughter’s school, for fall festival, takes many of them. A couple years ago, was happy to give 23 chess-checker boards to her Chess Club. Kept one for grands. 😀❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted March 13, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The title of your posting asks if you like your gift or not, but your actual posting has nothing to do with the title. We just received our first Platinum gift. It was two "blankets". We probably will never use them because they are so thin that they shouldn't even be considered a blanket. It was free, I'm not complaining, just saying we probably will never use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topspin1267 Posted March 13, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Sometime we use the gift, often times not, but its appreciated. The small grey cross body bag is useful and we have given away Tervis/metal mugs to lots of people. I would love it if they would give out a nice power bank (not a little one but like a 10000 mah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also good to keep around for wraps when sitting around the fire pit. We find a lot of good uses for them.

myboatsinwater Posted March 13, 2019 Author #12 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks for everyone for sharing. There was on one person who answered my question, regarding my beach bag. I think I will just use my dry bag and leave my beach bag for dry day. I’m looking forward to my next gift not sure what it will be. Heading on the imagination in April. Thanks again for all replies.

I always miss the blankets, they gave them away two times, once they were grey and once they were blue, and we seem to cruise in between them or after them now I am going in May and the blue ones will end this month. I would of loved to have one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seannyice81 Posted March 13, 2019 #15 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've received a stationary kit, headphones, and now a Tervis cup. I was actually kind of looking forward to getting the blanket 2 weeks ago, but got the cup. No biggie though. Theres always October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnieC Posted March 14, 2019 #18 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I just went Platinum our last cruise and I received the blanket. I thought it was really nice! Plus, I live in FL- where a heavy blanket is not usually needed- so I think it will get used occasionally! I thought it would be great for Movies Under the Stars.

It was free, I'm not complaining, just saying we probably will never use them. While the blankets may be lightweight, they are quite warm and wonderfully soft. We got them on the Sunshine in January - one of the best Platinum gifts we've gotten (I've received the tervis cups a couple of times, the croc visor, and the backpack that folded up into a small pouch).

granmarl Posted March 14, 2019 #21 Share Posted March 14, 2019 On the Splendor now, received the tervis cups. I do have a question, will be on our 1st premier cruise end of May and understand there will be a gift for premier cruise. Is it the same as the platinum gift? Thank you.

I'm a bit surprised you're complaining about only one person answering your question when your title asks a different one. I don't know about the bag. I gave away our last gift, the blankets, to our grandkids. They wear them as capes. I’m not complaining just the opposite. I like my bag that’s why it it’s not waterproof then I don’t want to ruin it. Some would be like just use and toss. But I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the premier gifts are different. On the premier cruise on the Sunshine in January we got large plastic cups with lids, string backpacks and towels.

So you own the bag and have it your possession, yet are asking others if it is water proof? I would think you are in the best position to make that determination yourself.
