We have a collection too, the one I love and still use is the blue backpack. It's all packed for when we leave Friday.
I have 4 burlap ones and now 3 slings and will most likely get another one on Sunday.
I sent some of my grandson's toys over to his other grandmothers house last week in a burlap.
She brought it back the other day, I was like Nooooo.......... Can't even give it away.
I have one of those and I love it! I’m one of the weird ones that actually liked the round red bags too. I still have that one too.Is this the one you mean?

We have 5 of the red tote bags (don't particularly care for them). Also, 4 or 5 of the gold beach bags, one burlap beach bag, and 2 different back packs (those I love). We never got a sling bag, so I'm hoping we'll be able to take a cruise while those are still being distributed.
I thought silver was lanyards ?
I trim the tag part of the the luggage tag and we use them as coasters in our family Room. I remember during our silver years we were complaining about all the beach tote bags. Then the sling bags a started and now we wish we could get another tote bag
We got a letter in our room on one cruise that told us to go to Guest Services and let the know. Another cruise we didn't get the letter, but we went ahead to Guest Services to tell them what we wanted.@PrincessShmoo When do you choose what you want? before you get on the boat or is there a form in your room you fill out? The fruit bowl looks like the one from the port gifts.
Too bad they don't offer you the cheese platter - that is really good.
@PrincessShmoo Thanks! And don't worry about the truffles picture. MIL got me the single romance package last trip - they are HORRIBLE. They are cheap chocolate - not truffles by any means.
We have donated nearly every bag we have gotten, 30! However, we have kept a sling bag because it does suit us as well.The sling is the only bag we've used of the various ones we've received... the rest were all donated.
I'm another that has started finding people to give away the bags to - even being from Australia I can't cruise as often as others, yet I've still managed to amass more of these than I know what to do with! I do love the current sling-style backpack and it's incredibly useful on the Alaskan and European cruises, but think it needs a bit of a redesign, not only to keep it fresh but because it's useless to hold towels on the Bahamian/Caribbean cruises.
