bahacca Posted February 24, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I like a lanyard for my sign and sail card, but some do not. I'd be happy with a friend buying a round of drinks:-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markmom18 Posted February 24, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) IDK what your budget is .... but how about a photo that was taken by one of the Ship’s photographers’? I’d ask ahead of time to get the 5 X 7, instead of those 8 X 10’s. Since you’d be ordering 8 copies, maybe even ask for a Discount. 🙂🙂 I’ve cruised with friends and my family. I love this type of gift that I treat myself to ... great memories with those I love ❣️ P.S. Since our son worked on the Carnival ships. (He finished his last Contract end of July 2019.) I can tell you that YES, those photos are marked up significantly! Shockingly so IMHO. 🛳🛳 Bobbi Edited February 24, 2020 by Markmom18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchHill Posted February 24, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Ship photos are a big $$ and IMO not worth the cost. How about asking another cruise passenger to take a group photo [do a few in different locations], and then make copies once home, [certainly less $$] and mail them to each, post cruise - nice memory, too.

Midwest Sunseeker Posted February 24, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I once went on a group land tour with my moms friends. They had a group photo taken. After the trip we were all given a mug with the photo on it. I smiled every time I saw the mug in my cabinet. Later when cleaning out my moms home I realize she had a group of mugs from trips she had taken with that group. You might look a Shutterfly for ideas with photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoW mAn Posted February 24, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2020 How do you personalize a straw? If you're open to practical things that aren't personalized each cabin would probably really benefit from a multi plug power cube...runs about $16... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INeedAMaiTai Posted February 24, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Make yourself or have made nice door signs for your cabin doors! Those are always fun to have and see; and I have found, help tremendously when trying to find your cabin down a long hall, especially after a few cocktails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted February 24, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Depends what your group likes. I would love a personalized cigar. That would be a photo that would be a great memory for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
