What Do You Collect On Your Cruises?

[Disconnections]

What do you collect while on a Carnival cruise? Anything from the ships? Anything from the ports?

 

I collect ships on a stick, the medallions, sail and sign cards, deck plan booklet, and the ship models.

 

Ships on a Stick Total: 30

 

Carnival Medallions: 10

Deck Plans Books: 3- Glory, Valor, and Dream

 

Royal Caribbean Medallions: 3

Sail and Sign Card/Seapass: 9

 

Limited to 6 pictures to post, the rest will be in replies to this post.

Ship Models: 4- Glory, Dream, Navigator of the Seas, and Fascination

 

Carnival Liberty: 2

 

Carnival Imagination: 2

Carnival Glory: 4

 

Carnival Valor: 3

 

Carnival Dream: 7

 

Carnival Destiny: 7

 

Carnival Fascination: 5

 

Anyone have ideas on what else I can add?

I get those expensive glass mugs with the ships name on side. 8-10 oz size. Made of heavy glass with handles. I usually get 2 of each design from each ship im on. Need to get a display cabnet. Also keep all the SS cards from all ships I was on. I have 10 carnival ships pins attatched to my Tux Jacket. I get lots of comments from them expecially from crew.

I'm going to start collecting the pins when I turn Platinum. I have the cruises for Platinum booked. The Transatlantic on the Magic should be my first Platinum cruise unless I book a Pack and Go for the Imagination.

WOW!!! I am about to go on my first cruise, so I will be watching this post but I have to say... I am impressed! That is one heck of a collection you have!!

We collect Christmas ornaments. We also get one from each port we visit.

[luckycruzer]

30-ish, w/about 6/7 medals. lots of pins too. I need a re-count, have 9 more booked, so oughta get one or two....my collection started in '07,so I'm behind in my work :p

[Celandine]

I collect the capers/fun times - whatever the daily activity schedule is.

 

I love the Ship on a stick and medalions - but can't count on collecting them.

 

I like magnets and key chains and postcards...

 

I often change my mind about what I collect, but I do keep the daily activity schedules (to the point where a crsip new one gets packed, and I get a second one to use)....

 

I did buy a funship freddy plushie on my last Carnival cruise :p

I love fridge magnets. You don't have to dust them... and you see them every day. Unfortunately, I did not start until our 4th cruise. Maybe I'll invade some roll calls to ask someone to do so for my first three ships :D

I collect shot glasses. Started over 30 years ago to collect a shot glass from every destination I visit. Currently have 32 shot glasses from all the different states I visited. Now have 18 shot glasses from different islands. Planning on collecting 3 more new shot glasses on the next cruise in December.

magnets and shot glasses

I only collect all the fantastic memories ... ;)

Ship on a stick but only one from each ship.

[padget01]

I buy a piece of art from each port. I try to find an artist on the street that is local so that it is authentic. I do this on my land vacations as well.

[RWolver672]

Ship models

S&S Cards

Golf Balls (From Ships and Islands)

Christmas Ornaments from every island

I have folders with all the Fun Times and all paper work for each cruise with receipts from everything we bought including drinks, car rentals, hotels, cruise documents, etc.

White photo albums with each ship on the cover

Ships deck layout folder (BTW-RCI has the best ones)

[crusinpsychRN]

I get a picture frame with a Caribbean theme from one of the ports.

[Frank12]

I collect a rather large S&S bill from each cruise!

[grabitall]

We collect dirt/sand from each port.:)

[trvlqueen]

I seem to collect pounds, lol, while my daughters collect ice cream cones - but I can't seem to find any of them around the house.

 

Seriously, though, I do keep the sail and sign cards, the capers, and have thought about collecting the ship models - that would give me a reason to go back to each ship I've already sailed! :rolleyes:

[drosphot]

Fridge magnets from just about anywhere I travel land or sea. I also send a postcard home but usually on land travel only. I don' take the time to find a card and post office in port.

[oklahomaeande]

We collect dirt/sand from each port.:)

 

This is something that I am planning this time on our cruise. Figure I will have an empty bottle for it.

[travlngrl1996]

Magnets. Looking forward to collecting more next week :D.

[Crusing Nut]

I collect the ornaments with each ship's name on it, I also collect ornaments from the ports and places we have traveled. I now have a travel tree with all those things hanging on them year around.
