Yep, I think it was a note pad right?  Had note paper in it.

I love how the English Language is different between Countries. In names of things & sayings.

In a America it's called a Koozies..

In Australia we call it a Stubbie Holder. Holds your Stubbie of Beer. A Stubbie is Beer in A Glass Bottle.

It had a note pad and a fairly nice pen.

Same here.  Just got Koozies on Liberty this weekend. Before that it was luggage tags on Elation and Freedom.

Koozies on our last 3.  Didn't even pick them up on the Magic.

I think it looked like Bamboo & there was stationary in it.

Going on b2b2b and by chance my niece  and her kids are on. Hopefully it’ll still be kookiest. Keep me posted. I’ll bring something to personalize them and give it to them. I’ll be keeping up with the post closer to November on spirit

Exactly, I took everything out of it and now I use it to hold all my sign and sail cards.

Kookie was the kookiest 🙂

Silly as they may be, the slap koozies do an amazing job at keeping drinks cold. Even in cups/ glasses. Haha. 

[AtSeaWithChris]

We recently went on a cruise and I put our slap koozies in our mailbox and posted in the group that they were in our mailbox, free to whomever wants them, and they were gone in 10 minutes. 🙂

Wife and I have more luggage tags then we'll ever need. At this point, we find "blue card" (first time) cruisers on board and give the luggage tags to them. They are always very appreciative.

I never thought of this, great idea! I just have not bothered to pick them up on my cruises, but now I will and do this too!

How many pictures are discounted. Rcl gives a free photo from a very low loyalty level. I come home with one of my dining table usually. Free is good.

 

Though nothing as good as my 5 free drink vouchers. 

 

Everyone gets excursions on sale. I pre purchased 2 of my sept excursions 30% off and one later at 25% off. Rare to get 30% off. Excursions have been at awesome prices. 

 

It wouldnt thrill me to get cabin cleaning twice a day, though rcl still cleans cabins twice a day. Is carnival the only line doing it once a day. Doesnt bother me. I'm neat and would rather have the privacy. I put the thing on my door all the time to not go in. Dont need or want twice a day cleaning. It's odd to me how much I seem to be in line with carnival lately. I'm private and solo and neat. I'm just fine with once a day cleaning. Something that saves me money would be preferred. I normally dont buy photos so a free photo is money I wouldnt spend otherwise and no loss of income to them.

Oh they don't do it twice a day anymore ?

Koozies twice, luggage tags once and photo album since restart. Should have left the photo album behind... or not taken it. Too big and awkward to pack and fairly useless. Donated it to the local thrift store. The Tervis tumblers were the best I received... several years ago.

What a thread

We are platinum but haven't cruise Carnival since 2018. We are headed out on the Mardi Gras soon. Do they leave gifts in cabins still or do you go retrieve?

I loved the Tervis tumblers!!! And the ones from the Red Frog and the Blue Iguana..those I purchased of course.

The "gifts" had to be picked up at the Photo desk. I think I got the pin there, too... Or possibly the Customer Service desk. You have to call room service for the strawberries. There was a printed invitation in the cabin for the Welcome Reception. There was a sheet with QR codes in the cabin that provided most of the above info.

BTW - printed "Fun Times" were available (in my experience) from the room steward if you ask.
