Retreat Tote Bag?

[LMHSRN]

Can someone show me a picture of the Retreat tote Bag that is currently being given.  Is there a difference between Suite Catagories with the bags?

[Northern Aurora]

The tote bags are a silverey grey color, and I am not aware of any difference between suite categories.

 We have done Sky suites several times and have always gotten the basic tote bag. I leave these as we already have too many at home. 

[WestLakeGirl]

They make good re-usable grocery bags as alternatives to paper or plastic

[39august]

Yes, I do that. And they make good book bags too.

This is the tote bag we get in an sky suite.

Here is what we received recently.  The one on the left (cream color) was in a CS on the Summit in May.  
The one on the right was from E class, like the detachable small pouch. 

No zipper or snap closure or pockets on either.  About 2” wide.

Agree particularly since they came with the case with handles and had a zipper to close the bag.

Same ones we've received in the standard balcony staterooms on the E, M and S class ships.

Why did you have to report that?  Now we have someone who feels they are not getting something special.  

 

(You are correct.  We got the same ones in Aqua).😶

We have gotten those type of totes since we starting sailing with X.  We were Elite and that Captain Club level got the nicer tote regardless of cabin category. Maybe Elite still receive them.

I use them for beach and pool then leave them in the cabin. Don't need any more shopping bags at home.

I liked those, too. I'm sure there are a couple of those around here somewhere.

Two-piece and part of it folded up as I recall.

I once got a Celebrity key chain and credit card holder with my navy bag.

[D. B.]

We have never been in the Retreat staterooms but on our last Celebrity cruise we received a nice tote from Captains Club that my Wife liked so much we took in on our first Oceania cruise 2 weeks ago.

 I told her to bring it because here on CC people were saying O had been telling guests for a long time that the Tote that is promised in Concierge staterooms is "NOT available due to Supplier Issues".

 Sure enough when we checked our O stateroom the Tote was not there!

 Ask at Guests Services and got the Supplier Issues excuse so my wife carried her Celebrity CC tote everywhere on and off the ship.

 Funny thing was that  O had 2 types of tote bags Available in the ships store for Purchase?

I hope I'm not reading this question re the color of the tote bag as being a status symbol , similar to wearing a lanyard indicating your Captain's Club level on Celebrity.

LOL-- I heard about that and tried to get a key chain on our last two cruises, but, they told me I needed 20,000 more points to qualify.

When I saw the Captain ( forgot his name ) he told me " Pinboy, it's only a friggin key chain, so, just enjoy the cruise, and bye the way, stop looking at that " old fart " with the 32 yr old " !!!

Yeah its a pretty crappy key chain which I've never used. The card holder is not so bad.

 Is it similar to / same as the card holder they give you for you in the suites?

Never been  in a suite but its a navy key chain with X logo and Celebrity cruises on it.  The card holder is grey which I use for my cards on excursions.

Always see people getting off ships with these bags, they scream "I'M A TOURIST, ROB ME" 

 

I am not sure why people want them or why cruise lines give them out, do people not take their own bags on cruises? We do. Disney also does it which helps local criminals target which people to pick pocket for expensive phones.
