After missing the complementary bags my last couple cruises, I was pleased to see new princess bags in our room hanging. (Not with the hat. The hat is mine)

 

Virtual Running Shorts sounds a bit scary to me. 😱

We were on the Crown twice last month and never saw one but am looking to replenishing my supply at home.  I use them constantly and they do disintegrate after some years of use.  Can’t wait to see if they have them on the Discovery later this month.  🤞

Yay! Glad they’re back.  Would be happy to find in cabin on my next Princess sailing - Enchanted 3/27. My collection needs updating 😁.

All we ever use them for is to carry stuff down to the laundromat

I was thinking I could use it as a beach bag to take to the pool and save myself packing one. 😄

Sure. I just don’t get people who take them into port with them. Just like the ones who wear a lanyard and medallion in port. Seems to label one as a tourist and target

Have you looked at the people getting off a cruise ship in port lately?  Just about everyone of them (us) screams "Tourist" without the accompanying Princess Bag.  I don't think we are fooling anyone by leaving the bag in our room.

Just got off the Discovery on March 9th.  We had a bag in our cabin the first day.

I wear jeans, T shirt and tennis shoes in port. My medallion is in my pocket. I don’t think I look all that different from most people we encounter. We cruise mostly in Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Canada and Panama cruises

Our old Princess bags were in the back area of my wife's Jeep. They sat through the heat of summer and the burning summer sun shining on them and cooking them. They started to deteriorate. We learned not to leave them in the sun or in extreme heat.

 

@bobpell I remember the first time I ever heard of a "bag of milk" - it was actually in a For Better or For Worse comic which is authored by a Canadian and is set in a fictional suburb of Toronto, ON. I was boggled so I googled it. I've never actually seen one as the only parts of Canada we've traveled through were Alberta, BC, and Yukon and, as far as I know, bagged milk is only in provinces in the east. (Of course I don't really know much as I'm not Canadian.)

That’s what our cell phones are for. We abandoned the big heavy cameras to appreciate the area. Especially in areas we have visited before

You may still need to pack that extra bag.  It seems that the blue bag is not available across the fleet.

There actually a cheap way to advertise. 

Yup - and I just advertised Princess with some 4-5 year old bags when I went to the store.  Love them.

I'm guessing that they are just starting to stock the ships with them and they'll all have them eventually.

 

My cruise isn't until Jan so I have time to see what is what.

We had two bags in our cabin on embarkation day on Regal Princess, Sunday 2/25 🙂

The only problem with Princess bags is they deteriorate sooner or later and you have to keep sailing to get a renewed supply.

Maybe it's an ulterior plan after all.

We were given the Princess bags on Enchanted Princess in February.  Two beach towels and two small bottles of water and the handle ripped off the bag.  I can't imagine using the current bags for groceries.

The bags we have we got back when Princess actually thought passengers were something good.

Currently on the Discovery. Got 2 new Princess bags and 2 Sun Princess luggage tags.
