Hi,

Do you have TSS Bremen in your collection? I was on her in 1969.

My late older brother was the consummate model-maker. This paper model in the display box shown here is of the first ship we were ever aboard as kids, he somehow found a European manufacturer and put this together. Now that nearly a half-century has passed since we cruised to the Bahamas out of South Beach, I've started a little collection limited to only the ships on which I've personally set foot. Two more are on the way as I write this, the Oceanic/Big Red Boat and the ship in the paper model--the ms Rustringen/Calypso Liner/Lucaya Queen/Carib Queen/Fiesta. I tried like hell to buy one from NCL a couple of days after my Pearl cruise. Fat chance. Now I've learned: if you don't get it when you're on the ship, it's gonna cost you a whole lot more later.

Welcome to the Ship Model Collector's Club. I found three of mine on Ebay and two on 1250.ships.com 

 

Although I haven't been collecting them very long, it's really fun to hunt down the rarer ones and, of course, to buy them aboard.  This is my most recent addition, Dec. 2019, taking her place between Liberty of the Seas and Song of America. 

 

Good luck!
