Silver castaway gift for Alaska

[Kesohio63]

Does anyone have a photo of the Silver Castaway Club gift on this year's Alaska cruises? Just curious and wanting to plan my packing. Thanks!

It's a navy blue and gray sling backpack with the Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club logo embroidered on the front. Double zipper (main compartment and then a smaller separate front compartment.)
I thought it was nice, but I only have
the Carribean bags to compare it to.
I'd take a picture but we have 2 and they've already disappeared, being used somewhere, I'm assuming!

How big is it - I'm assuming smaller than the beach bag you get on the Caribbean cruises?

It's definitely smaller than the beach bag totes-
It's a decent size! Not too big but definitely big enough to hold "stuff".
If I find it, I'll measure it if no one else replies.
In Juneau, I carried a rain jacket, 5 bottles of water, a big bag of snacks and a bag of medicine in it, if that gives you an idea of what it can hold.

Excellent, thank you!

You are very welcome!
Hoping someone can post a picture!

We received this on the WBPC this spring as well. Many people were unhappy with it, expecting to get a bag big enough to carry towels for the whole family on an excursion. Bear that in mind, if you feel you need a huge bag - maybe you should bring one from home.

Thanks! I have plenty of big bags; this looks very useful!

This is the sling bag that someone posted receiving this year:


With the luggage tags apparently being the Gold level gift.

Like it!

Would the same gift be given out to Silver Club members on the Western Cruise as well or is it something different and do they change the gifts every year as I am going on the Western Cruise in 2018 and I hope we get this bag?

At this point, unfortunately, anything in the Bahamas or Caribbean gets a scratchy, smelly burlap beach bag. Because clearly no one takes backpacks or sling bags to the beach. (Yes, that is sarcasm.)

Already threw mine away. The Alaska one looks much nicer, like something I'd actually keep.

This makes me sad as I love the look of that bag and it would be so useful (even going to the beach LOL)

Scott from the DCL blog didn't seem to get the luggage tags, so fingers crossed I get them next month! (will be our first cruise as gold)

I love the beach bag, not sure why so many people seem to hate it!

BURLAP!!!!

I didn't mind it when it was all canvas because I could use it for a taekwondo uniform bag, but the burlap is scratchy, pulls at most materials, and flat out smells.

I have never used a "beach bag" for the beach as I'm much more comfortable with a backpack and that holds enough for me.

I love it I guess I'm a weirdo.

We are Gold and got the bag and luggage tags for our June 19 AK trip. We love the bag and the tags are very nice.
