Return of the castaway club blue sling backpack?

[Calantha]

Does anyone use these? I mean that as a serious question. We’ve never used them, and they are starting to stack up.

I use them to sort stuff in our luggage or to keep things dry when we go to the beach. I have a much larger wet/dry bag I use for swimsuits and towels if needed.

I wonder if the difference is having young kids? We use them for sure, either sending kids to camp with then so that sandy, wet bathing suits don't invade the rest of the backpack. Or, if we'll have wet bathing suits when we fly because we're swimming on a travel day.

Going on Dream this weekend- blue sling or white beach tote ?

It was the white beach tote on our Dream, 2 Aug cruise.

Yes, whenever we travel with swimsuits, this comes with us. I use it like a packing cube for the dry swimsuits and when they are still wet when packing they are safe in there and won’t get other stuff damp. Yes, a plastic bag would have the same effect, but this is cuter!

They are very cute. I do love the way they look.

Yes, I do. Especially at the end of the trip-if I go swimming/use a hot tub the last day/afternoon of a trip, my swimsuit is usually not quite dry by the time I need to pack it. Enter wet/dry bag (yes a Ziploc bag will accomplish the same thing, but the wet/dry bag looks cooler ).

My husband loves them for short hikes.

We’ve discovered that they make outstanding toiletry bags. They’re the perfect size (my wife and I each use one), and if anything should happen to leak it’s contained within the bag.

We used our wet bag to bring our wet suits back . Even brought a small bottle of wine back in it when in Barcelona that the hotel gave us for my daughter’s birthday.

Bag to put your wet stuff in so everything else doesn’t get wet too. This is one from the Treasure. View attachment 995621

This is soooo much nicer looking than the standard one they are giving out for Gold. Really hope the Destiny one is similar.

Like others, we use them for swimwear on departure day. It can fit me and the kids if we all have rash guards, or all 4 of us if only swim bottoms for the males and swimsuits for the females.

This is genius, truly genius! We have about 5 at this point and have contemplated leaving them behind, but I always double bag my toiletries, just in case, and using this as the outer bag is much more eco friendly!

seems like fantasy got the package of new gifts. Can someone confirm?

I did the 3 night French cruise Friday 22 August to Monday 25 August on The Fantasy. We got the old blue sling bag and the old lanyards.

The cruise departing Southampton on Monday 25 August was supposed to be to a 4 night to Bilbao , Spain but has been changed last minute to Belguim due to the effect of Hurricane Erin in The Bay of Biscay. I suspect they gave the new bag and lanyards to everyone on that cruise as "Pixie Dust" for the last minute port change. People from my cruise are not happy we got the old bag and they got the new bag.

It will be interesting to see on Friday for the next cruise to Belgium what they get.

I am currently onboard the Fantasy and got the usual haul the same as I got last year on the Dream and last week on the Magic (Mickey Lanyard, wet/dry bag, towel, white tote) and also we got a cool bag back pack which is nice.

Got off the treasure on Sat and was the white bags.

Depending on who you spoke to from guest relations you got a different response to the treasure beaded bags.

Some claimed they have not had them from months. others saying it was only for the first few sailings others saying they should still have them.....
