Any reminiscences of this ship would make it even more enjoyable!

Thanks in advance.

I cannot find anywhere to buy them though, but a perfect collectors item for me 

I am Netherlands based, so anyone in this region who are selling these ships?

If you have "stuff", whatever "stuff",  that you brought home from a cruise on any of those ships, what may today seem like "trash" will actually increase in value--dollar value--the longer that you keep it and as difficult for such items become to obtain.  The better condition that material can be kept, its value will increase.  I collect ocean liner memorabilia.  Many others do as well.  It has been an education for me to see items that I collected many years ago at little or no cost now command the price that they do when they are put on the market.

Thanks

any help is appreciated - much thanx

We always loved the fact the that cruisers adorn their stateroom doors and we always have to stop and admire the decorations. On our most recent cruise, we decided to do just that ... and make a simple, hand-made sign and use a few of our collectible magnets from previous cruises to stick the sign to our door.

... and that was a mistake.

We had fully-trusted our fellow passengers to not touch. I mean, we're all here to have fun ... right? Theft was the last thing on our mind ... and we were pretty naive to think that, obviously.

Someone had taken our Carnival Conquest magnet from our door, but they left the others, thank goodness. What was taken was a silly little turtle magnet that we had gotten from the 'Conquest,' the turtle was all dressed up with a big floppy hat and sandals. We usually take pictures of our magnet 'haul' at the end of every vacation, but we did not at the end of that particular vacation, so sadly, I do not have a photograph of it.

If anyone is going on the Conquest sometime (it does not necessarily have to be soon), it would mean a lot to us if you could purchase a 'Conquest' souvenir magnet from the Fun Shop. I don't know when, if ever, we'll be seeing the Conquest again (not in the near future, I can say that much). I've looked on eBay and Amazon, and while there are souvenir magnets available, they're just a stock photo of the ship with the ship name -- they're just not the same :(. I've tried contact Carnival, but they said that branded souvenirs only available on board -- so here I am!

I will certainly pay for the magnet and the shipping costs plus a little extra.

We have learned our lesson and will likely buy cheap, generic magnets in the future to adhere any signage to our stateroom door.

Thank you for your help!

P.S. some people put some seriously cool decorations on their door!

i have a “reduced size ship model” collection of about 30 of them. I collect only the ones i sail on. Unfortunately, i am missing 4 or 5 of them from when i was too young to buy them! 
 

i have looked everywhere and cannot find the producer of these ships. I just know that they are made in China. The producers i have found in America produce them for 300-400$ which doesnt make sense because the cruise lines sell them for 39-50$US! 
 

anybody knows where i can find a website or manufacturer that makes them all?

thanks so much!

As usual, we will see newer ships coming for the first time Our port, but also ships that have long been visiting us, will be docked in Piraeus.
