cruiselover53 Posted November 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Try Ebay . I have bought quite a few ships on there. But you will have to be patient . It's surprising what people think their ships are worth. Currently there is someone selling a lot of P&O ships for about $100 each. Very overpriced . Still if people are willing to pay that much then someone will charge that much. You can often find bargains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewgood Posted November 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Jeez a $100 a pop. If they are selling them fore this price me thinks I will have to start buying these cheap models in the gift shop next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I suppose $100 is still cheaper than doing the cruise to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted November 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) I have the model of ye olde Regal Princess (now Pacific Dawn) bought it on her last cruise in 2007, Sydney to LA. Could be priceless. As Regal was on her last voyage stock was being cleared, think I paid about US$10, minus my 10% Elite discount of course.

gbenjo Posted November 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I like to collect the ship models, which is the main reason we do not cruise on the same ship twice. Keep the seapasses with the model makes a nice display. I could possibly get hold of the Radiance and Solstice models for the OP if interested.

taffy62 Posted December 6, 2018 Author #20 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Some of your posts made me laugh good call 😂 I'm mainly battling to find a model of the Pacific Pearl and Dawn Princess for a reasonable price. Would be very greatful if someone got one tucked away in a cupboard somewhere and would like to make some money 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket29 Posted January 3, 2019 #21 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I just started collecting models on my recent (8th) cruise. I have taken 3 with my daughter and thought that this would be a good keepsake (albeit a bit late). I need Oasis of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas to add to our Carnival Pride model. Any chance someone can help me out? I don't feel like spending $100 on ebay. Edited January 3, 2019 by rocket29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy62 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #22 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Just bumping thus up in case anyone is thinking about selling their cruise ship collection. I'm wanting Pacific Pearl and Dawn Princess Please 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beejay4016 Posted July 26, 2019 #23 Share Posted July 26, 2019 We've only done a few cruises, but we love those little models that sit on our bookshelf. I'm so glad we bought the "Ryndam" when we did a Norwegian fjord cruise on her, and we really should make a point of sailing on her (and buying a model of her in her P&O livery) while she is still in Australia as the Aria, and then perhaps in her next incarnation - perhaps as a CMV vessel to join her old sister vessel, now the Vasco da Gama, a model of which we're looking forward to adding to our collection when we sail on her in a few months' time. Those models are like photographs in that they stir up such lovely memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
