Past Guest ship pins?

[Avril]

Are they still giving these pins out to past guests (you know, the ones in the shape of the ship's funnel with the ship's name on it) or can you at least buy them somewhere? I'd really like to get one from the Miracle on my upcoming cruise to add to my collection!! :D

Pins are only given to platinum cruisers now. The pins are supposed to be available in the gift shop, but I tried to buy a Splendor pin for a friend and they didn't have any.

Congrats on becoming Platinum! :D

 

Your prize will be your pin in addition to FREE Laundry and all the other little perks that go with being Platinum...

Keep watching the internet auction site. Sometimes you can find one on there.

 

I was surprised we got one last year on the Triumph, but nothing on the Pride this month.

got one on fascination in may and freedom two weeks ago but didn't see any in the gift shops on either ship.

The ones in the gift shop do not look like the one that everyone is used to. It is a bit larger and a bit of a different color.

 

I still have not understood their reasoning in doing this as that is not what people were willing to purchase.

Got one on the Miracle last week. The cabin steward put it in the cabin. It was free.

I had to buy one on the fantasy, I had to "Look" for them before I found them hanging on a rack in corner of shop.

Another way to "cut back" on expences and it gives people more incentive to make "platinum" so they get the pins automacticly. Even though they arent the post popular item. But there are people who like collecting them. To bad I started late on my collections. I have 9 Carnival but none from any other ship I was on besides Carnival.

I do have a good 10 Oz glass mug collection. (2 of each from every ship ive been on).

I know the feeling as I starting a collection of the resin ships that are in the gift shops of the ships we have been on. It took someone off Cruise Critic to get me one of them and the other I found on Ebay.

 

Luckily on my pins for NCL I was able to get all of them before they completely stopped the program.
