WEELYNCRUZER Posted November 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Royal Carribean no longer has art auction on their ships. I was told Park West lost their contract. No more announcements pitching the auctions. I wonder what they will do to replace that cash cow. I also wonder how that will effect the value of the tens of thousands of pieces they have sold. Does anybody have any more info ? I can't say I will miss them even though I did buy a few pieces to decorate our walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisker92 Posted November 25, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2010 If you Google "Fine Art Registry" you can get all the details. There have been a number of articles about Park West Galleries. I am hesitant to say anything here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted November 25, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2010 A company called Art Actually does art tours and auctions on Oasis Class. A nice thing about this ship class is the art auctions are not in your face. The art store is tucked away and somewhat hidden in Central Park.

jewopaho Posted November 25, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 25, 2010 You mean that someone at Royal Caribbean finally caught on to Park West??? Finally!! It gives me hope that a cure for the common cold is on the horizon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted November 26, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2010 They replaced the art auctions with lectures from the spa and other things, at least on the Radiance class. Much less intrusive than those art auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie J. Posted November 26, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Someone actully got kicked off his cruise because he was handing out something to people going to the auction about how dishonest, I think, Park West was. I have yet to hear how people SAVED $$ by buying on the ship. If you buy it for less on a ship, why don't they sell it ashore to make more $$? Then no packaging to get it aboard and no pay for auctioneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the other poster said above, I will not post anything here but one can read all about the law suites online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
