Tsquaredplus6 Posted November 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I was reading a post recently regarding a mother who's husband lost her daughters dolphin, that was only available on their cruise. I have a similar problem. On one if our family cruises, we made a dog during the "build a bear" session at camp carnival, for my 3 y/o son. "Abby" quickly became one of the family, going EVERYWHERE with us...until recently. She is NO where to be found, and my Ben has been asking for her. If anyone is cruising soon, I would love it if you would help out a desperate mom--carnival's customer service was absolutely NO help to me. When I asked them abt purchasing a replacement, I was told that they are only for purchase on the boat. So being that we are not cruising anytime soon, I would appreciate anyone's help in getting another "Abby" for my son.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleChell Posted November 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I hope someone can help you out. I wish I could but we are a yr out. Can you post a pic of it? I am not sure which one my kids have but I bet if it's the same dog I might be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthlessBoss Posted November 24, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have no reason to build a bear, so my concept is the bears/dogs are custom built (at least that's how our local store advertises). So you need to post a picture, right? Or is an on board build a bear class have everyone make the exact same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susie8862 Posted November 24, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I just went to "Google Images" for Build a bear/dogs and tons of pics came up for a variety of dogs. Which one does your son have? Next ....I went to the website for Build a Bear, where you can order on line. They are the SAME ones. Did you go to their website and look? Some are very, very inexpensive and on sale for Christmas. Just want to wish you luck...:o So sad when a child loses his favorite toy.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluvncruzn Posted November 24, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Is this the same puppy? If so, I'll mail it to you. My son doesn't play with it anymore and said he wouldn't mind giving it to someone who would. I don't have the box that it came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have lots of offers to help. I don't sail until next May. My daughter had a favorite like that and we couldn't go anywhere without it. Hers was sold at a grocery store as a promotion. I got lucky and found another one at a flea market as a backup. We still have both and she is 19 and still takes it back and forth to college (SHHH :p) I think it is still her reminder of home.

Tsquaredplus6 Posted January 8, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Well, my friend recently went on a 3-day carnival cruise, but for whatever reason, there was no build-a-bear session. I attached a couple of pictures of "Abby". As you can see, she is light beige in color, with an off-white face and dk brown floppy ears and nose. Again, if anyone is cruising soon and does not mind helping me obtain an "Abby", please let me know!! Thanks!! Edited January 8, 2014 by Tsquaredplus6 Add another pic.

Tsquaredplus6 Posted January 23, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted January 23, 2014 This message is for "<3 2 Cruise" and for "Olderfle"...I have contacted Carnival to see if either one of your cruises will have the camp carnival build-a-bear session on your cruise, but not one carnival rep seemed to know the answer. I am hoping that one of your cruises will have this activity (usually on the last day at sea). Please feel free to contact me (call or text) at 706-593-1221. Thanks!!

Tsquaredplus6 Posted February 14, 2014 Author #25 Share Posted February 14, 2014 No. I didn't :( Miss Gayle tried, but for whatever reason, they didn't have the bear building activity on her cruise. But I did find the facebook page for "The Bear Factory"--the supplier for the build-a-bear activity for Carnival. And if you check out the following link, there is a great picture of "Abby". She is on the bottom shelf between the monkey and the cream colored bear. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=548561745196690&set=pb.547672821952249.-2207520000.1392346787.&type=3&theater My heart tells me Miss Gayle will not give up on finding my Ben his "friend"...Not sure when you are sailing on the Magic, but any help would be appreciated!!!!
