"New style" as in the sling bag?
When we first started getting Castaway Club gifts (2010)we got the red beach bag, rice krispie cookies and water bottles

By 2012 we got the (great) blue backpack, chip & dale crackers/prezels, and key ring

By 2014 it was the canvas beach bag (different colors for different levels)

And, for gold, a game tin (playing cards, and a word game) plus a magnetic door write on/wipe off board

By 2015 it was the burlap bag as the basic gift on the Caribbean cruises.

I don't think that they would give out a gift card to the shops onboard, since Gold and Platinum's already get a 10% discount in the shops.
They wouldn't give out drink coupons, since not everyone drinks alcohol.
The bags that they do give out seem to be specific to what would be needed to carry things on that particular cruise's itinerary. Somehow I don't see that changing.
It appears to be changing. There are reports (from both the Dream & Fantasy) that people have been receiving the sling bag (the one that's been on the Alaska cruises previously).The bags that they do give out seem to be specific to what would be needed to carry things on that particular cruise's itinerary.
