About the only thing I collect any more are our ship cards. I've given away (friends or Goodwill) all the other stuff, including my John Heald bobble head. 🙂 Tom Hate to brag but, I was able to snag a 2-sided book: Celebration Inaugural Season/Carnival 50th Birthday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cruiser Posted February 7, 2023 #52 Share Posted February 7, 2023 4 minutes ago, mondello said: Yeah, each ship had to use up their supply of generic pins. Got the “Back To Fun” pins after the restart and then the “VIFP” pins. We were on Valor B2B 7/25-8/4/2022, would have loved the pin you got. Not to mention: Sunshine12/26/2021; Vista 3/25; and Celebration 12/19/2022. I’m not complaining though, just would prefer something to show I hit that ship. Yes, I remember the generic pins they used. We got one of those on Sunrise in September of 21. But, I'm pretty sure that all of ours from last year were ship specific, including Valor in Jan 2022 and Vista back in September. I can't remember for sure on Mardi Gras, but I have pictures in my phone of Valor 2022 and Vista 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed out, by one cruise, on the signed Mardi Gras books (I think by Duffy, and someone else?). We were on the second sailing of the ship as it turned out.

We were on the second sailing of the ship as it turned out. Tom I wasn’t even thinking about it, just happened to see a girl in line at the Coffee shop looking at one and talking to a guy. Saw they were crew and asked her how to get one; she took my cabin (folio?) number and sent one to me.I was on the fifth(?) cruise so, I felt lucky to get one. Guess that’s just life inside the velvet ropes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get a ship-specific pin if you are Platinum or Diamond. If not, ask. The generic pin is the Gold gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I should have thought about that. I assumed you already were platinum. To be honest, I don't know that I even have any of the gold pins. Forgot about even getting those.
