tote bag?

[bitob]

I think I asked this question before and after 2 Silversea cruises I cannot recall the answer.  LOL  I also cannot find a definitive answer after a search.

Does SS supply free tote bags in any category? I searched my house and I couldn't find one (plenty of Regent totes) so I am assuming the answer is "no."

Backpacks on expeditions.

We last got a Silversea tote bag on the Silver Spirit Maiden crossing back in 2010 (or should say, DW Ida took possession of this Tote).  Now that we primarily due Silversea Expedition cruises we have a half dozen Silversea back packs. In fact we're donating two to American Kidney Services on Monday.  I use this useful Silversea back pack when leaving the suite for workouts, excursions, and for lunch in La Terraza or The Restaurant. Shown in attached photo is the newest Expedition backpack for warm climates, have one for the Anatarctic that looks like a Dry bag, and older backpacks that are all black.

Hi, I have never received a tote bag. I usually book a Classic Veranda and they have never been a part of the cabin accessories.

Unfortunately Silversea doesn’t provide totes on any of the classic cruises, at least none that we have been on.  While we have settled mostly into booking verandah suites we have also sailed in Silver and Medallion suites and no totes.

Yes, there are bags provided to certain categories of suites.  We have been given backpacks and large white bags that resemble the le Pliage bag.  I suppose one could say the white bag could be termed “ a tote”. 

 

On the expedition cruises we also were given backpacks as Wes mentioned.

We have had several backpacks like these when sailing in Silver Suites and above. They are great backpacks, way better than ones we have had from Regent and Scenic. We have taken them on cruises with Seabourn and Viking and had several questions on where we got them.

[Lois R]

To the OP, so it seems the higher end suites do receive these items.

Can anyone confirm?  I’m in silver suite

See the post#8, they said they were in a Silver Suite and received one.

[bitob]

Backpack. I’ve been in silver suite twice. No backpack. Is that for expedition?

[Pies4u]

We got the back pack and assorted items with it, hand gel, masks, water spritzer etc in a Grand Suite on .pDawn in March.

[Observer]

I have sailed in Silver suites multiple times, and I do not recall ever receiving a tote or backpack.  These were classic, not expedition, cruises.

Ditto for our Grand Suite on the Spirit.  Very nice assortment of items.

[bitob]

no consensus apparently

[drron29]

The classic fleet did have tote bags for sale in the boutigue and they were available for points. Sadly they are no more. We were gifted one on our Dawn cruise last August and apparently it was the last one on that ship.

Thx. I will pack one. Maybe Crystal for old time’s sake. Lol

[AusMum]

ohh then we should get one on our Iceland/Greenland expedition? that's pretty cool.  I know we get jackets, but we don't get to keep those?

[CJANDH]

I may have mis-spoken. We may have received the backpacks when in the Owners Suite.

AusMum the parka on expeditions to Antarctica and some Arctic cruises are yours to keep.

SS used to just give backpacks. Now they sometimes provide a white tote bag and/or a black backpack. Ask your TA.

He’s working for you and getting a commission. If it’s important to you, ask him. Please let us know what he says.

Yes!  Seem to recall that they were very reasonably priced too.
