SiBreeze Posted August 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Does anyone know if you get a pair of souvenir champagne flutes with the UBD or the UBB? Do they sell them on the ship?? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoTL Posted August 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Those are nice, I don't ever recall seeing them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevintheIrishDJ Posted August 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We got a pair when we renewed our vows.:D Pax et bonum, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 5:00_Somewhere Posted August 28, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We have done both the UBD and UBB, and we did not get any souvenir flutes (like that or otherwise) for either meal. Admittedly, the last of these was at least 3 years ago, so things could have changed since then, but I do not recall seeing or hearing of anyone receiving flutes like that for the UBD or UBB recently. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcacace Posted August 28, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I just checked eBay & couldn't help but laugh when I saw what someone wants for a shot glass. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Princess-Cruise-Line-ship-pewter-logo-Frosted-Shot-jigger-Glass-Barware-Shooter-/300738453244?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4605689efc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARGIN Posted August 28, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Flutes were given to returning passengers I think in the late 80's, early 90's.. I still have a dozen or so.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjboothman Posted August 28, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Does the Princess website still sell bon voyage gifts? I got a pair of flutes with gold trim a few years ago along with my champagne and other gifts that were ordered by my kids as a bon voyage gift for us. They were in the cabin when we arrived.

GHDPeter Posted August 28, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 28, 2012 If you go to the Princess website and go to inboard experience, then gifts, then celebrations the flutes are included in some of the packages like engagement, renewal of vows etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquilegia Posted August 28, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We have a couple of these. We were on the Star some years ago when they were doing a promotion of a free celebration package for anyone celebrating a 'special' wedding anniversary on board. We had a bottle of fizz and the glasses, chocolate dipped strawberries, a flower arrangement and a free photo on formal evening. Haven't noticed them advertising anything like that recently.

I have 4. I could offer them at a special price and still make a fortune. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinchris Posted August 28, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 28, 2012 DH and I received a pair of flutes as part of our vow renewal package. I display them in the china cabinet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a dozen or so.. :D Me too including a pair etched with '1989' but after that in the early 90s they didn't etch the year. I see one selling for $23.99 on eBay but I'll keep mine with their original boxes. Whenever I enjoy some champagne these are the flutes that I use to remember a wonderful Princess cruise! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 21st century - 25 cent Princess Tote Bag. Ah yes, how times have changed. :eek: Hey Largin, wanna sell a pair of your flutes? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, how times have changed. :eek: It's a big difference but so are the prices in comparison to the 80s. There are many more cabins available in the 21st Century resulting in lower relative prices for everyone. I'll take paying less & sailing more often even if there are fewer freebies. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
