As far as where to shoot from. What ever angle you think best depicts your visit. The ones attached from Bonaire we had a BEAUTIFUL sunny day, but somehow I caught some pictures with a big ole clouds in the background.

That's a great idea! I've been taking these kind of shots for years and never thought to put them into a mosaic. Thanks!

What a great collection of responses! I am always surprised how many people collect similar items. I too usually collect a magnet, coffee mug and Christmas ornament. The key chain into ornament idea is a great idea--thanks! I also often buy a lanyard, cuz I wear them at work so it is a nice reminder. I'm also thinking maybe a beach towel.

 

Where do you get martini recipe cards? those sound fun and would be a nice souvenir of one of my favourite ship-board pasttimes :D

 

How do you win a crystal ship?

The martini recipe cards are usually sold in the Crooner's Bar.

And to win a crystal ship, you have to buy something onboard and use a coupon from the coupon book you get in your stateroom upon embarking. The more you use (and spend :rolleyes:) the more chances you have to win the ship.

The playing cards with the Martini recipes on them!:cool:

Oh, we got those too on our last cruise! Quite cool... :cool:

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... :(

Know that Princess is now confiscating cruise cards upon disembarking the ships.

Must be only on some itineraries... they haven't confiscated them on any voyage we've been on...

Well, our favorites have to be the teddy bears with a shirt that has the ship's name on them. Although I understand that Princess no longer offers them.. :(

Pssssssssttttt.......the same yucky syrupy coffee is what you get on Carnival too.

Hmmm... maybe this is opening a can of worms and slightly off-topic, but I've found that the coffee in the Horizon Court is significantly different than what is served in the dining rooms. The dining room coffee is IMHO much better!
