QUESTION: Ship On A Stick Vs. Bucket of Beer

[5oclocksomewhere]

Would you rather play a game to win a "ship on a stick" or sit by the pool with a bucket of beer or drink of the day? (Plenty of seats are available near the pool due to the constant patrolling of your friendly neighborhood Chair Police)

That would depend on what kind of game and what time of day it was

All I see is a red X:confused:

[Jen99SS]

I'd have to go for the bucket of beer. No matter what time it is!!!

[Boston6]

Absolutely a ship on a stick.

 

I can buy a bucket of beer but you can only get a ship on a stick by winning a contest.

[BelizePlease]

I'll pass on the piece of ship on a stick for a bucket of ice cold brews any day!! It's 5:00 somewhere!! :D :D :D

[Knights on the Beach]

I would rather watch someone else playing a game to win that ship on a stick, while I drink the bucket of beers, preferably Corona (or a foo-foo drink or whatever)! ;)

Melody, a Ship on a Stick is a little trophy you get by winning one of the games, i.e., Trivia, etc. I have one, and I treasure it!:D It's a running joke, because they're made of pure plastic painted gold, with a little plaque at the bottom showing the name of the ship.

 

On my last cruise, the CD Michael told me they were phasing this out......but he didn't say why. So, if you enter one of the contests, you might win one - surely a collector's item.:rolleyes: (Actually, I enjoy having mine - a souvenier of a great cruise.)

Amazingly enough, my DW (girlfriend at the time) was on the winning team at the Welcome Aboard Show last April while on the Triumph.. She got a bottle of 'bubbly' and a ship on a stand.. :rolleyes:

The 'ship' on the stick was a spirit class, and the plaque said Triumph.. I though it was kinda' comical! ;)

We have it well displayed with our three "towel pals"!

[Girlsnightout]

I'd rather be on a high deck, with my friends, away from the pool, away from the games, sipping a rum punch!:)

[BluexMoon]

It's a no-brainer! A bucket of beer would be so much better than a plastic ship on a stick!!! If I want a memento of the ship, I'll buy a magnet. At least I have a place to display a magnet. Where the h*ll do you display a ship on a stick anyway?????:confused:

[ColoradoJuli]

I have mine displayed proudly in my office. All 3 of them. So I'll take the beer. Especially since you are paying.:D

[SuzieQK]

I too love my ship on a stick!! Its a known fact in my house that if we are cruising Carnival that mom will enter as many contests as it takes to win one of these beeeeuuuutiiiifuullll trophys. I have mine displayed in our familyroom. This is the first year that I havent won one-all I got was 100 stupid points for the white team :mad:

Am I insane or what???

[BluexMoon]

To each his/her own. If no one entered the games to win the ship on a stick, I'd have nothing to entertain me while I finish my bucket o beer:D

[jayne733]

The prize should be your choice of a ship on a stick OR a bucket of beer. I like to play trivia and do contests and stuff, but I would much rather have a beer :D

[wantacruise]

Well, my DH usually drinks several buckets of beer while trying to win one of those ships on a stick but, no luck yet! I won one however, without drinking a bucket of beer first! Maybe he needs to change his strategy! LOL!

[gogetter]

Hello,

 

I drink the bucket first and then win a ship on a stick.

[Cotton]

Bluex - I don't play trivia games 'just to win a ship on a stick' ... I play because I love trivia games. The prize is simply lagniappe.;)

[serene56]

I love trivia but played to win the ship on a stick.

 

But sorry these are no more. On the LEgend in OCtober and the Miracle in February they were giving out champagne. Guess its cheaper to do the champagne. Some people (very few did get medals)

 

On the Miracle they had a telephone trivia-- you watch it on the tv and call in your answers-- I won a strofoam beer holder.

[tef43]

We got the ship on a stick *and* champagne for winning the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" game on the Triumph last year.

 

"Points" for your color team? Big fat hairy deal.

[Buckeyefan]

Won my ship on a stick by winning the slot tournament on the Glory. Oh Yea - I got $500.00 also. :) But the trophy is in my living room and I'm pretty proud.

I am not a beer drinker so there is NO contest here!!

 

Besides....I absolutely ADORE my ship on a stick!!! Everytime I see it I have wonderful memories! I have not participated in the games but I won mine at a Lido Deck Sailaway Party for going up on stage and lip-synching Aretha Franklin's Respect with a banana!! :eek: Believe me....beer is simply NOT strong enough to induce oneself to get up on that stage in front of all those people and dance around and sing!! It was tequila shots I was requesting when I realized what I gotten myself into!!

[basketlover]

How much does a bucket of beer cost and how many beers are in it???????
