What Carnival souvenir do you always come home with?

[pafam4]

Ship on a stick!

[valancy1]

Always a ship ornament and a (preferably) handmade keychain from each port... the keychains also go on the vacation tree...

 

Vacation tree? Do tell!

[cuted126]

I just realized two cruises ago,that I never ever bring home anything for myself.:( So recently I started getting a keychain for each port we visit. I usually buy them on the ship. I always eye the mugs or the magnets,but I never buy them.

[PROCRUISE]

A very low amount, paid in full S&S receipt! :)

I don't drink alcohol which makes getting dod cups more a challenge. In the early to middle 1990's I was able to get a full set of the glass dod cups for free. When people were at the pool they would often put them under their lounge chair why they were using the pool or hot tub. When they left the pool area they would forget their glasses and I would swoop them up. I was also able to get a few of plastic dod cups the same way.

 

My other best souvenier was the ship on a stick that I won on the September 24, 1996 sailing of the Tropicale on a 11 day cruise from Vancouver to Honolula.

I like the sea glass that is sold on the last day.

If I get anything it's not on the ship usually. If the soft hoodies are on sale I might.

 

In ports I'll get a picture frame with a Carribben scene and put the embarkation photo in it. Some are really elaborate and cute. Never spend over $12 on one.

My DH always buys the model of the ship. Our mantle is starting to look like a port. :)

[cruise-4-ever]

Always a mug with ship name and my bar bill....what memories.:)

[Muumuu]

Manage to slip off the ship often with a couple of extra pounds.

Got to try and stop sneaking them off with me.

[KansasK]

I always buy a decorative spoon for the ship I am on to add to my spoon collection. I also buy a decorative thimble and now have a thimble collection. I buy these on islands, too.

 

I buy Christmas ornaments on the ship when I see them. The latest one is gold colored and round with a ship on an open inside circle. I have found them on Carnival and RCI.

[jrmende63]

RAM and I usually got the Fireworks tees from each ship and would wear those on our next cruise. However, Carnival does not carry those tees anymore so I am on ebay scouring for them. I think we will have to have a tee shirt from one of the ports...I am thinking Jack's shack!

Of course we also collect the pins, however, I don't like the new pins designs, so I again have been getting the ship pins from Ebay...

[wrigley80]

I always bring home at least one ship on a stick. It is my favorite onboard souvenir

[donoiv]

When we cruise, we always pick up something from the ship. The one thing I never miss is a magnet of the ship we're sailing.

 

This year, we're cruising the Valor again (2nd time in a row). The dilemma is whether or not to get a second Valor magnet. I am leaning toward "YES". I put them in a line on our fridge.

 

What is the souvenir you come home with from your Carnival cruises?

 

Norovirus and a hangover... the gifts that keep on giving.

[suezyq50]

I get two ornaments. A gold one for my all gold/silver tree. And a multi colored one for the kids tree.

[Gingee]

Usually a magnet for the frig (to remind me of our trips) and a Christmas ornament.

[Gingee]

Carnival does have ornaments. If not, I make my own.

[Beachlover76]

hmm.... never noticed the ornaments, but last cruise I won the cruise raffle, got a Carnival bag, and it was stuffed with all kinds of goodies from the gift shop and also got jewerly in it...my friends were jealous.....Hee-Hee...

[donoiv]

I usually like to take one of the chairs from the pool deck.

[Catrin]

A baby.

 

 

 

 

Just kidding.

.

I have one of those. Her name is Allison. 7 1/2.

Warning - mango margaritas at Carlos and Charlies can have lost lasting side effects!! :)

 

We like the $10 Tshirts on the last Sea day. Although our last Cruise on the Dream, they were awful!

[azpilot]

The bill for what we spent! :)

[MrFunInTheSun]

I usually like to take one of the chairs from the pool deck.

 

It's always nice to have a pair of Carnival deck chairs for the pool at home. Brings chair hogging to a whole new level.

[smjlt]

My DH always buys the model of the ship. Our mantle is starting to look like a port. :)

 

We just got off our first cruise and my DH Had to have the ship model! I'm glad he got it...we were on the Destiny and soon there won't be a Destiny ship any more! He wants to get one from all our cruises in the future! :)

[T. Advisor King]

We scoop a couple Carnival towels from the "return" bin, then grab a robe from our neighbor's cabin after they've checked out and the stewards leave the doors open.

 

I also like to take the big wooden wheel with the knobby things on it from the command deck at the front of the ship. Nobody seems to mind.

No wooden wheels with the knobby things anymore... Just a little joystick and a computer screen.
