The Infamous Ship on a Stick

[Hawaii697]

It's a very slow day here at the ole J.O.B. and after reading the boards for a bit, I was curious as to how many of you have won a Ship on A Stick and how did you win it?

 

I've won a few but my favorite was when I sailed on the Destiny and the assistant CD (Malcolm-in-the-Middle) and his helper (Francesca) were having a limbo contest. The problem was they where missing the limbo pole. They where actually holding hands and having folks go under. After about 5 minutes of this (the line was really long), I came up with an idea that helped them out. I tied together 7 cloth napkins (from Lido deck). I took over to them and they continued the limbo dance without a hitch. After they announced the winner (wasn't me ;) ), they announced "the lady who tied together the napkins, please come over). Of course, I was like uh oh, what did I do :eek: !!! Anyway, they presented me with the lovely ship on the stick and named me McGyver for the rest of the cruise. Ahh, such memories :D !!

I only saw one given away on the Pride last week, they don't give them away like they used too.

My wife won 2 on the 9/1/06 Legend cruise. One for a Famous Faces trivia contest and the other for Game Show. The second one came with a bottle of chamagne.

We won one last year on the Miracle for a team trivia contest, and we recieved two last week, one for trivia and one the kids won! They gave many out on the Legend this past week!

[LHP]

We have 23 (at last count) and 8 medallions (they did those for awhile instead of ships on a stick). One of hubby's is so old it has a marble base, instead of the plastic. For a grand total of 31.

 

10 came from me singing in the Talent Contests, many more came from our oldest son winning ping pong tournaments (usually against adults) and scavenger hunts, etc. and 5 hubby won.

 

But the most special ones are the 3 from our youngest son (our special needs child). His first was from Mark Price for being his "favorite cruiser" and the other 2 for being the "youngest unofficial Platinum cruiser on the Cruise" on the Spirit and the Pride.

I won one on the Legend on a trivia contest. DD won one for a different trivia contest. She views it as one of her proudest accomplishments. :)

 

Some people will do things that I won't do to win one. :O But to each their own.

[Mich6674]

I got one on the Imagination along with $500 for winning the slot tournament.:D

[Boston6]

My son won one for being the "Most Enthusiastic Non-Participant" at an event. He was cheering his cousin on.

Derfette wanted a "Stick on a Ship" so badly that after she lost trivia she went up to the cruise host and asked him for one. He said if she would hug him he would give her a one, Well she came back to the cabin 2 hours later. At least she got her "Stick on a Ship"

 

And on the last cruise she CHEATED on trivia to get one. Time for the whips and chains.

[abitaturbodog]

My son won the ship-on-a-stick for the scavenger hunt! They gave out lots of them on the Glory last year.

I was disappointed when I didn't win one for a pool game, so (it was my birthday) at dinner that night my son bought me one in the gift shop and gave it to me as a present. The next day I win one for the trivia contest, so I came home with 2, but only 1 "real one". I proudly display it in the closet in the guest room at our home.

[jbags58]

We (our team) won 2 on the GLory last year for the trivia game with WEE JIMMY! He's a hoot!

 

They won NO THANKS TO ME! I HATE TRIVIA!!! :eek:

 

Leaving on the Pride in 6 days....maybe I'll try something else to win one!

 

I love the family that has tons of them in there game room....that would be cool!

[DqALEX]

My 8 year old DD got one on the Celebration for counting the bingo balls before the game. I told her she brought home the gold. she has it up in her room.

[ezmony54]

I got one also on my last cruise for winning slot tourney.. Leaving this weekend on the Glory and hope for another as it came with a watch and t-shirt and a pen and best of all 500.00. EZ:cool:

I have seen it mentioned before , but what exactly is a ship-on-a-stick?? Is it the equivalent of all the key chains RCL use to give out ?:confused:

Yeah, same premise as the key chains given as prizes on RCL. Except the ship on a stick is really a trophy. About 6 inches tall, gold (plastic) on a black base with the name of the ship on the front.

Here are mine

[silentbob007]

Simpsons trivia on the Miracle a few weeks ago ... my first in many, many, many attempts. In fact, I'm watching The Simpsons as I watch this. I said, woo hoo. :)

[caribbean dreams]

Won a ship on a stick in the slot tournament ON Destiny along with $500 cash and a bag full of goodies including an ocean player t-shirt that i sleep in now.

[georgiabelle]

I won a ship on a stick and two medallions, plus a bunch of other cool stuff, for winning the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game on the Carnival Spirit. It was on the closed circuit tv, so I had people asking me about it all week - i guess that's my 15 minutes of fame!:)

[book-a-roo]

My then 8 yr old won one on the liberty for being the bingo ball checker. They were giving them away like mad on the liberty all week when we went!

[MarylandLady]

Got my solid gold "plastic" ship-on-a-stick on the Miracle playing the trivia game on our first sea day! :D

 

Maybe I'll get a second one on the Legend next month -- here's hoping!

[boobnme]

I won a ship on a stick along with a bottle of champagne for playing the game show trivia on the Fascination in August
