Odd question-- greeting cards?

[cnvh]

My friend asked me this yesterday and I don't have an answer... (And I haven't a clue as to why she wants to know, as she isn't planning a cruise anytime soon, but anyway...)

 

Are greeting cards (birthday cards, anniversary cards, etc.) available in HAL gift shops?

I have not seen greeting cards in the shops.

I haven't seen them in years on the ships.

I have purchased cards in the gift shop. They are usually in the small one that sells candy, cigarettes, paperbacks and booze. There is not a large selection but they do have them for sale.

I don't recall seeing any ... nor does my DW.

You are correct -- I have seen them there too. They're on a little rotating stand.

I also have seen a small selection of greeting cards in that shop.

There is a very small selection, but don't expect anything with a HAL logo on it.

Good point, Candy, and GREAT idea.

I'd love if HAL sold things like greeting cards that included the Logo.

How fun to use if giving someone a gift for their cruise and particularly for those generous people who actually give someone a gift of a cruise!

There weren't any on the Westerdam -- I had to buy one in Juneau.

I agree - Logo Greeting Cards would be a great revenue-generating idea...

...as long as the picture postcards are still free.

Who is the artist who has many works featuring HAL ships on display aboard the fleet?

I would think that packs of gift cards with those images of HAL vessels (both past and present) would be HUGE sellers onboard. Or lovely parting gifts.

I believe that's Captain Stephen Card, whose artwork adorns HAL ships.

I like to buy them in a foreign port if the person is sailing with me it makes it a cool memory.

[sail7seas]

Yes, all those fabulous paintings of HAL ships on the landings of the stairwells are done by Stephen Card.

 

Now that you mention it, I think he has done a packet of note cards. If that is so, I'm sure they're wonderful but I still would like note cards showing an HAL ship with the logo or greeeting cards.
