SmogMonster Posted January 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I thought it would be cool to start a thread we the location of the "ships coins" could be posted by those who had dound them. If you know the location, please list the ship and location. I'm going to start a new tradition and get a picture of each on on each ship we sail on. Lets keep this thread going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azurewater Posted January 6, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2011 On the Triumph, I found a $2 bill near the basketball court. No coin. It was encased in the metal with a plastic cover. It read Triumph 1999. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilbog Posted January 6, 2011 #11 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Of what? You know what it look like? It's the album cover art for Led Zeppelin's first album. It's a drawing of a photo of the Hindenburg zeppelin crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pineapple Princess Posted January 6, 2011 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Here is the coin from the Conquest. Not sure if someone broke the glass or if it got broken from stacking the deck chairs in front of it. Located on deck 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Cat Posted January 6, 2011 #14 Share Posted January 6, 2011 There was a thread awhile back talking about these coins. I think some ships have two coins ; the real ones the ship builders put there and the display one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaScout Posted January 6, 2011 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I found the coins on the Miracle. But, i'm not telling where they are. That would take all the fun out it. They do exist. Have fun searching for them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDYJABS Posted January 7, 2011 #16 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What is the story with Ship Coins? Is it like displaying the first dollar you make if you own your own business? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted January 7, 2011 #18 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) What is the story with Ship Coins? Is it like displaying the first dollar you make if you own your own business? Its a ship builders tradition. Coins are usually placed in the keel of a ship as an offering to the gods so that they will allow it safe passage. Now they mostly just symbolize good luck. I'm assuming the ones they put on display are copies of the ones in the hull, if in fact there even are any in the hull. Here is an article on it: http://www.oceaniacruisesblog.com/taste/2010/06/ceremony-celebrates-rivieras-keellaying.html Edited January 7, 2011 by DarthGrady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmogMonster Posted January 7, 2011 Author #20 Share Posted January 7, 2011 So here's what we got so far... On the Destiny, the coins are located near the Basketball court The Legend...near the Golf course The Triumph...near the Basketball court The Dream... at the bottom of the stairs to the waterslide The Conquest... on deck 14. If you know of other ships and locations, you can cut and paste this with your added entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me how often this comes up. Are we really that old that Led Zeppelin I is not instantly recognizable?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
