SeaMystique Posted July 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Not always. Our team won a bottle of sham-pagne on the Island this past February.. Fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly25 Posted July 18, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks for a rapid reply to my question. Next question, what are trinkets? Would that be Princess pins or something else? It seems that each cruise line has different ideas about awarding prizes for sometimes exceedingly tough questions in trivia, so I would appreciate knowing how Princess rewards our efforts.

It seems that each cruise line has different ideas about awarding prizes for sometimes exceedingly tough questions in trivia, so I would appreciate knowing how Princess rewards our efforts. Our team won D-clip key chains and another time a lanyard with the princess logo on them. I saw champagne (bubbly wine that is) handed out as prizes to some of the audience participants in various games and shows in the evening. Choir Pins were given to pop choir participants. I think it's more about getting people connecting and having fun than the prizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partybarbie Posted July 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Some of the trivia prizes are pretty nice. In the past I have won a fanny pack, a picture frame, an umbrella, a coffee mug, a water bottle and the sparkling wine. Some of the cheaper prizes that I still like were the Princess logo pens and the magnet potato chip clips for the fridge. I also have luggage tags and mini-flashlights. It's kind of a "crap shoot" on what you might win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilly25 Posted July 18, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I do appreciate all the answers I received about the prizes. I will admit that some of those prizes sound great, so maybe I'll try to enter contests and see what happens. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd call them prizes Tote bags [have about 8 gave away about 10] Luggage straps [have 4 gave away mre than I can count] Pens [most didn't work by the end of the cruise] Lanyards [kept 2 gave the rest away].

jollyjones Posted July 18, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Don't enter for the prizes, you'll be disappointed. But definitely do enter for the fun and friendship of it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfMom321 Posted July 18, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wow, never saw the string bag. I'm not sure I'd call them prizes Tote bags [have about 8 gave away about 10] Luggage straps [have 4 gave away mre than I can count] Pens [most didn't work by the end of the cruise] Lanyards [kept 2 gave the rest away]. Never saw the luggage straps either. But I have more water bottles, pens, chip clips and flashlights than I can count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long cruiser Posted July 18, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Not so long ago,princess gave out reversible tote bags and baseball caps. It"s still fun to play trivia if you are a trivia junkie. long cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homosassa Posted July 18, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Don't play for the prizes. The days of the better prizes are long gone. A prize today will consist of a key ring (with built in mini LED flash light). Still a lot more useful then a cheap plastic ship on a stick or "medal" given out on another cruise lone. That being said, on a longer cruise (7 days or more) as the trivia games shake out to certain teams having an abundance of key rings, a water bottle or cheap sparkling wine may be offered.

denmarks Posted July 18, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The problem with the champagne was that only 1 bottle was awarded to the team of 6. One nice prize was a small bag that you wore around your neck which contained a clear compartment for your cruise card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floflegs Posted July 18, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The reversible tote bags were great. I still use one I got over 8 years ago. We also got really nice, solid pens on that cruise. Still got them too. Most of the other prizes are just fun things. It makes you wonder why some people are so desperate to win. Do it for fun. Don't get stressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted July 18, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I pretty much stopped going to trivia not because of the trinkets that are awarded but rather the cutthroat nature of many of the participants. Too much drama with arguing over answers, arguments over accusations of cheating, getting yelled at for sitting in another team's area (before the game begins). It's just not as fun as it use to be.....:( Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 18, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 18, 2015 IToo much drama with arguing over answers, arguments over accusations of cheating, getting yelled at for sitting in another team's area (before the game begins). Princess has a number of games based on TV shows. (The marriage game, Jeopardy!, Pop Star, etc.). Trivia as you have observed it is the Princess version of the Jerry Springer show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trivia Max. 6 person teams For most trivia games each person on the winning team receives a prize. On some evening games the entire team gets a bottle of not so good champagne. This is a list of some of the current trivia prizes I have in my collection box: Water Bottles Playing Cards Carabiner Keychains Pens Keychain Flashlights Passport holders that go around the neck Laynards Fridge Magnet clips, can also be used as a bag clip (one of the best) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
