Lack of Ships on a Stick

[deadmoney]

I have yet to win one😢

They can run out of them if the ships on a stick are in dry dock! 😜
 

My son usually get a few each time we cruise and my wife does what all good mothers do and throws them right out. Should put them on eBay and make a few bucks but who has the time?

Believe what you want, but there are most certainly people who cheat at trivia. You'd be surprised what some people will do to get their hands on one of those little trophies. How about theft? Yep, seen that too. On our cruise aboard the Glory, someone stole the SOAS that the Fun Squad member had set near the back of the Lobby stage for an upcoming trivia session. On more than one occasion, I could easily tell people were writing in their answers because they were only writing on their sheet for a few of the questions. Or during the game, they'd have their phone beside them or tucked between their legs and when the question was asked, they'd type in something on their phone, then immediately write on their answer sheet. When they'd do this two or three times during the game, it wasn't a coincidence. Then the people who did these things would be the ones who happened to win. Another incidence of cheating that happened on our Glory cruise was when the Fun Squad member hosted a game of Scattergories. She literally caught one of the teams cheating, stopped the game and told them to stop what they were doing, they continued to do it, they won the game, and she still gave them the win. As the hosts of these games, they don't care. It doesn't mean anything to them, but these games are part of the fun of the cruise for those of us who enjoy participating.

You are so correct!

I guess those of us that sail with Carnival should be grateful that we get the SOAS or medallions. I won a trivia contest on Allure of the Seas last year and won a yellow highlighter! The guy that finished in 2nd got a blank trivia answer sheet and was told to "go home and practice". True story!

 

I would rather receive a pen or highlighter 🙂 The second place was just mean - no need to give anything rather than be rude, but that is some people's idea of fun.

I have seen the same thing. However I must say on the Sky Princess they gave everyone at the table a very nice hard cover note book. Red cover with the Princess wave logo bedded into the cover. We did not win. So many 6 to a table. me and my wife.

Just ask after you win and they will give you a medal instead.  They give those out like crazy on most cruises (Moreso to kids though).  They aren't unique to the ship like the trophy, so personally I'd rather have 2 of the same ship rather than add to my half dozen Carnival medals.  What really stresses me out is I can't find my trophy from the Carnival Victory, and now it has been re-branded so I can't just win another.

 

As for the OP, I have been on cruises where they were stingy with the Ships on a Stick, but never to the degree you are talking.  Heck they gave us 3 for winning Carnival Quest when we sailed the Fantasy. I'd just assume they were low and afraid of running out on a 14 day cruise, or did actually run out. 

Believe it or not, I have an extra Carnival Victory ship on a stick.  It's the only extra one I have.  If you want to private message me your address, I'll send it to you.

We've been on 6 ships and my daughter has the 6 different shiny pieces of ship on a stick displayed in her room.

 

My personal favorite is one we won on Fantasy for the family dance off winner.   I broke out the robot and the sprinkler to take that one home!!

Thank you! That would be amazing.  I tried to send a message, but it says the feature is disabled, not sure if it is my browser or what?
