psyfi Posted December 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm not asking what is your favourite souvenir from your cruise ports, rather what is the favourite item you bought on board a Princess ship and why? Is is a Princess logo item like a robe, mug or a towel? Is it something you bought in one of their shops like a bottle of perfume or one of the limited time only booths that gets set up for a day? What item has the fondest memories for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandrina Posted December 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Princess small ceramic ship model - I get one on each new ship I sail on. My favorite is the old Regal Princess. A bottle of perfume onboard (cheaper than in Canada) and the scent serves to remind me of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicpanda Posted December 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi - my favourite cruiseline momento is a lovely watch/keyring from Princess. I personally think it is toooo nice to use as a keyring so have it hung up on the wall just beside my PC at work at eye level, every time I glance at it on a work day, it reminds me of my cruising trips. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted December 14, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 14, 2008 3 Swarovski Parrots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgy Posted December 14, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 14, 2008 My favourite souvenir is the memories of each ship. However, you did say a souvenir from one of the shops. We were on the last sailing of the old Crown Princess before she went over to Germany. They had everything on sale. I collect Swarovski figurines and they had the ship replica on for a greatly reduced price. It is still one of my favourites-a great reminder of our favourite ship and one of the best cruises we've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted December 15, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 15, 2008 My favorite is the coffee card, because it keeps going and going and................:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougH Posted December 15, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I used to get the polo/golf shirts from each voyage that would have both the ship name and destination. Now they seem to have either but not both on the shirts. Also collect the ceramic ship models. I'm missing the old Crown and Island Princess models, anyone have some they want to get rid of?

NSWP Posted December 15, 2008 #9 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yes, again I am a sucker for the little ceramic ship models, like the poster above my favourite one is Regal Princess (now P&O Australia's Pacific Dawn), I was on her last voyage last year, San Pedro to Sydney. Yep..the polo shirts too with the ship and ship name on them. And the Princess pens with the little ship inside that moves around. On last cruise of Regal there were some bargains, polo shirts 'Regal' going for $15, models for $5, pens for $1, Princess cleared the lot out, I went nuts in the ship's boutique.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted December 15, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well, we always get a magnet that has the ship's name on it... the nice metal ones. Also the tee-shirt with the ship vital statistics imprinted on it. But the most fond things were the teddy bears that had the ship's name on their shirts... those sadly seem to have gone away... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dot73 Posted December 15, 2008 #11 Share Posted December 15, 2008 For me, t-shirts (at least 3 per cruise). For my mom at home, a formal night picture of me. If I came home without one, there would be trouble.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ship Dude Posted December 15, 2008 #12 Share Posted December 15, 2008 On the Golden a fews years back we won 6 tolietry bags playing various games - we gave 4 away as gifts and kept 2. We use them all the time and really love them. They are soft nylon that roll up, have 2 small compartments and one large one. Those who got them as gifts use them all the time as well. We hope to use them again on the Sapphire in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda90 Posted December 15, 2008 #13 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) A light weight purse with long over the shoulder strap and lots of velcro fastening compartments with Princess logo. I have used it for several years on cruises. Definitely have gotten my $15 worth. Edited December 15, 2008 by Lynda90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdsqrl Posted December 15, 2008 #17 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Refrigerator magnets: not the metal ones but the ones that have the coloured photo of the ship. My goal is to have the whole fleet up there on my fridge door someday. I also, ahem, have a nice collection of Princess pens -- the ones from the cabin. I don't intend to steal them, but I guess I carry them around to write postcards in various venues aboard and ashore and then forget they're in my bag. Although it's unlikely the loss of a pen (or 6!) is going to cause prices to skyrocket, nevertheless, just typing this has made me feel so guilty that I'll probably bring them all back and leave them in my cabin on my next cruise (causing "Stewart" to wonder where the heck all those extra pens came from?!)

gailc Posted December 15, 2008 #22 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) rdgrl - I also collect magnets of each ship we go on. I have never seen any of the colored photo of the ship on Princess. Mine are all the gold ones. I also collect Christmas ornaments of each ship we go on. Gail Edited December 15, 2008 by gailc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDTOY Posted December 15, 2008 #23 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Last year, on our Antarctica voyage aboard the Golden, we won the crystal ship! Thrilled of course, and it was the icing on the cake after such an exciting "expedition"! "Winning" is hardly in our vocabulary but for once.........!

Sunny AZ Girl Posted December 15, 2008 #24 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I also collect Christmas ornaments of each ship we go on. Gail I also collect Christmas ornaments. I try to pick one up in every port & on every ship. I have an ornament of every RCI ship I have been on. However, I could not find one when I was on the Golden last January. I would love to find one on the CB. The sales clerk acted like he never heard of Christmas ornaments of the ship. Does Princess even have these?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimi39 Posted December 15, 2008 #25 Share Posted December 15, 2008 We ended up with quite a few of those little glasses that limon cella comes in in the dining room (you buy the drink and keep the glass):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
