Last time we got one was in March. I think it depends on the ship and if they have any left. Ask your cabin steward and look on the closet top shelf.

Rare travelin.sisters Posted October 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2022 there weren't on the Sapphire last month, but she was just back in service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted October 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2022 There were none in our particular cabin on the Island 2 weeks ago...but I saw that the steward's cart had quite a few hanging on it. I imagine we could have simply asked for one...but we have more than we would ever need. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mom says Posted October 16, 2022 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Soooo... maybe, maybe not. Wonder if I'll get a reaction if I just bring my Celebrity tote with me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF - retired RRT Posted October 16, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I've got at least 40 squirreled away. I use them for the grocery store. Never them carry on or off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 16, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I just returned from shopping at Trader Joes. Took 3 bags in (2 Princess). On the Grand a few weeks ago. I asked my steward...Nope, none on the ship. I "remember" the days that suites had those nice canvas bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we used to cruise in a WS we had those nice canvas bags. Someone who used to post here often we met on a few of our cruises and played trivia with them. The wife had a canvas tote which they had won years ago during trivia. They don't give out prizes like that anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetardis Posted October 17, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 17, 2022 When they have the totes, are they in all cabins or just suites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted October 17, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It should be in ALL cabins. It has been a hit and miss since the restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re in all cabins, when they have them. They’re kind of similar to those cheap reusable grocery bags you can get in most stores. We found ours folded and clipped to a hanger under the laundry bag in our room. I ended up using it for carting beach towels and sunblock around. I didn’t mind getting sand all over it.

kywildcatfanone Posted October 17, 2022 #19 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Longtime Princess cruiser here. Went on my first Celebrity cruise a couple of weeks ago. One of the things they have you was a tote bag, but instead of it being like the Princess ones that look and feel cheap, this one was better material, and zippered, as well as had a smaller zippered bag inside. Very nice. And I get cutbacks at some level, but I'm guessing those tote bags cost them maybe 10 cents a piece in bulk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwendy Posted October 17, 2022 #20 Share Posted October 17, 2022 One cruise I took my Royal Caribbean backpack and cap. When leaving ship for shore excursion Princess staffer said, I don’t think that’s allowed on this ship, lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay S Posted October 17, 2022 #22 Share Posted October 17, 2022 DH has a collection he uses in the garage for holding stuff. If they stop with the bags, it will be one more indication of how cheap they can get. We got a nice plastic one (more sturdy) on our last HAL trip.

Gwendy Posted October 18, 2022 #23 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Celebrity bags are much better quality. Only good Princess bag I received was on World Cruise 2019. Good strong bag with zip. I keep thinking I have used all my blue Princess bags and magically another one pops up from the back of the cupboard. I think they are breeding in there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
