Dunnedg Posted September 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2023 On a Caribbean cruise from Miami in November. I think I read in an earlier post that someone didn't receive a tote/beach bag on a recent trip but it was perhaps something to do with a supply issue than them no longer being provided. It wouldn’t be an issue but we are meeting family in Miami for a few days who we haven't met for years and have a lot of requests for ‘things from home’. Happy to take a beach bag with us (we are beach bums) but our luggage will be tight for space. Can any recent travellers confirm they received a bag?

caviarforme Posted September 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Got one in July on Encore in the Mediterranean Edited September 21, 2023 by caviarforme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikan Posted September 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Just back from our 10-night Alaska cruise on Odyssey. The tote bag was in the cabin upon arrival. As far as I know, it is still tucked between the sofa and balcony door in Suite 821 where the attendants stored it. (We never used it and didn't wish to take it with us 😉) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLSD Posted September 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2023 We did not receive a Seabourn tote bag on our June cruise aboard Ovation. No explanation was given. I had not taken one of our SB tote bags and regretted it. I will tuck one into our bag next time just in case as they do come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labonnevie Posted September 22, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I would take it as a plus to not receive another tote bag. We have a closet with maybe 20 of the things, just gathering dust. We always use the most utilitarian bag we have received, from AMA Waterways, maybe 10 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife keeps one in the back of her car and uses it for grocery shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMB01 Posted September 24, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 24, 2023 It is a supply chain issue. We have done 6 cruises since Covid and on most received the tote bag - and on some cruise, a new, different design! We have had a cruise where there was no tote bag and one where they substituted a canvas bag - like something you would get from Home Depot!

adolfo2 Posted October 2, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2023 None on Ovation this past March due to "issues". We, and others, used the canvas Laundry Bags as beach bags 😞. No attempt to mail them out after the cruise... sorry but you're out of luck 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us don't want them and use a different bag while in port so we are less likely to be a target. Though I do understand many like to have them. They were available on our recent cruise in August from Barcelona and I left ours untouched in the suite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
