sunflower877 Posted July 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I must be slow, but I just don't get it. What does Dam Ships mean and why does everyone want a t-shirt saying it? Also, what does PAX stand for?? Thanks! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what does PAX stand for?? Thanks! :o All the HAL Ships names end in DAM, Dam Ships is a play on Damn Ships PAX is short for Passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSquare8 Posted July 23, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I am going on HAL for the first time in a few days. I am looking forward to purchasing a DAMM Shirt. Do they still make them> I have only seen the ones that say "all of those damm ships" What do they read about the PAX???? Many Thanks melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Lady Posted July 23, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I would buy a few of the tee shirts if they said something like... "mom went on a cruise and all I got was this DAM shirt!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbelle Posted July 23, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I just brought home a blue apron that says, "Dam Good Cook"... My husband just bought his second baseball cap, "Dam Ships". A lady in Juneau told him she couldn't figure out why anyone would go on a ship that people keep swearing about... Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idahomom4 Posted July 23, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Got my Dam t-shirt on our cruise. Bummed I forgot to get a Dam mug. When we were leaving breakfast on our last morning several of the crew were seated and one of them said "hope to see you back on this dam ship someday!"

canadianbear Posted July 23, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Our very first cruise on HAL was to Alaska and we splurged and went in a deluxe verandah suite on the Ryndam. We were allowed to use their large umbrellas that were in our closet. It was huge and said "dam rain" so I bought it and still have it. I don't know if they still offer the large umbrellas like that anymore but I love mine.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertiger Posted July 23, 2010 #17 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I bought a DAM ships t shirt on Eurodam last year..., in the WRONG size!:eek: So, my solution was to book a cruise on another DAM ship, RYNDAM!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyk47 Posted July 23, 2010 #18 Share Posted July 23, 2010 We have a number of different "dam ships" stuff from t-shirts to coffee mugs. I have a Dam Ships polo and once got berated by some lady in a store about wearing "swear words" in public. :eek::D On the other hand, I've been stopped a few times by folks recognizing the phrase and saying things like "We like HAL too!"

Berk987 Posted July 23, 2010 #19 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Nov 2008 on the Eurodam, the DAM tee was on sale for $5 on the last night. I forgot to get it and must try again Dec 2010 on Niew Amst. DAM FORGETFULNESS !!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
