Gift For Cruising Dcl?

[kg66]

PLEASE HELP ME RECALL....DIDN'T I READ THAT YOU RECEIVE A GIFT FROM DCL FOR CRUISING WITH THEM? I THOUGHT I READ THAT AS A FIRST TIME CRUISER YOU RECEIVE A DCL DUFFLE BAG, AND 2ND TIME AND SUBSEQUENT YOU RECEIVE A DCL TOWEL WITH 2 PINS. AM I RIGHT, OR JUST LOSING MY MIND? I WAITED SO AS NOT TO BUY A DUFFLE BAG, AND THE 3 DAYS CAME AND LEFT....NO DUFFLE BAG. I REALLY WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE HAD I NOT THOUGHT WE WOULD BE GETTING ONE. I HAD MY TA CALL WHEN WE RETURNED HOME, AND DCL SAID GIFTS ARE ONLY GIVEN IF A MISTAKE HAS BEEN MADE BY DCL. ANYONE? OR AM I LOSING MY MARBLES....

I think I read that too but my 1st cruise isn't until May.

I didnt receive anything my first cruise although it was a Make-A-Wish cruise, so maybe that played a role. My second cruise I did get a Castaway Club towel and 2 pins.

Heeere, marbles..... The first cruise you get the joy of cruising. Then, for subsequent cruises, you are a member of the castaway club and get whatever is the gift for that cruise: towel, pins, blanket,...

You only get gifts once you become a Castaway Club member. You become a member by cruising once on DCL. Then the towel or whatever is being offered will be in your stateroom when you board. It is to reward you for continuing to cruise on their ships. The Castaway Club also has a welcome back cocktails on the first nite as well as their own line to wait in to check in at the port.

Hope you had a great time.

That makes sense because they are rewarding you for coming back.

Everyone is correct. Nothing but the experience for your first cruise. The second cruise - a towel. The third cruise - a towel. With two pins. At least that's MY experience! I'm hoping by cruise #4 they can "mix" it up a little!

On our last cruise, we did receive a gift from DU in our stateroom besides our Castaway Club towel and pins.
