LambKnuckles Posted November 21, 2018 #76 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Anyone found the Valor's? I'm cruising her in less than the weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted November 21, 2018 #77 Share Posted November 21, 2018 SMH (first the posting is very old ) but kinda defeats the purpose of LOOKING for the coins instead of putting that information out there. So what is the purpose of KNOWING where it is-- why find it if you know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted January 13, 2019 #82 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Here's a little background to the mythology associated with placing coins on ships for good luck and safe passage Ancient Greek Mythology relates that the River Styx is a barrier that separates us mortals from a successful transition to the afterlife. If you don't successfully transition, you'll be stuck in 'limbo' for eternity. Charon provides a ferry service across the River Styx but he requires some small payment in the form of coinage: he doesn't take cards. He is described in the literature as having transported the souls of the newly dead across this river, into the afterlife. This small financial requirement ties in with a very old maritime tradition in sail-boating and shipbuilding, when Mast Stepping is the process of raising the boat's mast. It also refers to a ceremonial occasion which occurs when the mast is 'stepped' towards the end of a ship's construction. The ceremony involves placing or welding one or more coins into the mast step of a ship, and is seen as an important ceremonial occasion in a ship's construction which is thought to bring good luck. Although such coins were originally placed under the main mast of a ship, they are now generally welded under the radar mast (sometimes in a protective box) or laid in the keel, as part of a keel laying ceremony. Carnival cruise ships display a coin box high up on an uppermost deck, in the lee of the radar mast. Sky Deck in many cases. I check it every time. It's often a big ole American Silver Dollar dated the year the ship is completed! ---------------------------- I've included a picture of Charon, draped in red hard at work ferrying souls across the river. Notice those despairing at lower right. They didn't walk with spare change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted January 13, 2019 #83 Share Posted January 13, 2019 There it is, right in front of you, welded to the bulkhead close to the Table Tennis table. This is Carnival Liberty - Sky Deck, where the kids line up for the waterslide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjngranny Posted July 12 #85 Share Posted July 12 Does Carnival Jubilee have a ship coin? If so does anyone know the location? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mlshum Posted July 13 #86 Share Posted July 13 The other two Excel class have a coin beside the relief of the old ship and new ship. I haven’t been on Jubilee and I don’t know if that’s the “official ship’s coin” but it’s definitely a coin shaped stamped metal disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
