Crown and Anchor gifts

Ok fellow Cruisemates I just noticed that I have too many Crown and Anchor hats. I'm sure I have more somewhere in the house. Next cruise I have to tell the cabin steward not to give me any hats.

One cruise I received the photo frames which I like and can always use.

Anyone else have a C&A hat collection?

Or is it just me!

What C&A gift would you like to see instead of the hats??

With Xmas around the corner I guess I can wrap a few hats and give them as gifts.

Message to Royal..........Bring back the Photo Frames!!!

Marj and I got the hats on our Monarch cruise. From what I gather the new gift is a straw tote bag.

Did you happen to see what the tote looks like? I wonder if it is useable or just a dust collector.

I guess I can use a straw tote for the weekend trips to Wildwood Crest.

The straw tote bag might look good on the boardwalk.

that's hilarious. I only have 1 hat...I sure hope they don't give me another one on my next cruise.

. What no T-shirt?

I don't usually wear a hat, so I would prefer T shirts on my next RCL cruises.

Fanny Packs and tote bags. Also jewelery holders. I have plenty of all.

I agree with Tennis and TM I would like a Tshirt too.

I forgot about the Fanny Packs I had a couple of those.

Perhaps a speedo brand hat for Dave for Christmas? Bob

I've been giving away the hats. Last time in the terminal while leaving, find a kid, give him a hat.

Snooze I hope you did not give away all your RCCL hats as per your Avatar I see that you do wear a hat.

But that is a good idea giving them away to the kiddies.

CQ,

I've two of the hats myself and don't like the flimsy version they now give out. I prefer if anything, a real baseball hat. What they give out today makes me look like an old man. Of course my getting to be an old man might have something to do with that look.

Todd,

FYI The "O" word (Old) is used when referring to a person in the triple digits 100+ years old. I don't think we have any "Old" cruisemates.

I'm sure the hat looks fine on you.

My next cruise the hats should be done with and I'll have the Tote to look forward to.
