Have you checked the Roll Call for your cruise. Sometimes someone comes up with one and sells it.

I started the roll call over a month ago and sadly only 1 couple has posted so far... I know its still 6 months away but nothing yet....:(

Our group has a name - Not Entirely Normal .... and many versions of that name. We change it every time we cruise. On the front of the shirt where the left pocket would go we put our group name, the destination, the date and a picture of the ship, or maybe a palm tree or something that matches our destination. In the past we have done more but I've found that a neutral color like navy blue and a smaller decoration makes the group want to wear their shirt after the cruise too. We give everyone a choice between a polo shirt or a t-shirt. We split the cost of setting up the design and printing and charge the cost of their particular shirt. A 2T shirt usually costs less then an 2XL. One year we even did coffee cups for everyone with the cruise, the date, destination and the group name.

We've never had a T-shirt made, but a friend with an embroidery machine made us a customized Christmas stocking. We've used it on all of our Christmas cruises since then (1998). Fortunately it just has our names and "Christmas Cruise" along with a palm tree with Christmas ornaments on it.

 

There's a place at one of our local malls that does custom embroidery. I'm sure there's one near the OP as well. Since she just wants one shirt, it may be cheaper than ordering one and paying shipping.
