Partner with Michael's

[deliver42]

My wife is extatic about the partnership. She loves crafts, and Michaels. She's looking forward to doing something on the Legend next year.

What is the partnership you are referring to?    Are they going to have crafts on-board?

There have been craft activities on board before this partnership.

I imagine that there will be more now!

When my kids were younger, they loved the craft get-togethers.  We found it to be rather spotty, both in how the enticing the project was and whether they had sufficient supplies for the number of attendees.  Maybe Michael's can help them get it better coordinated.  Would make lots more happy cruisers.

That's great news!   I didn't see that article.     Looking forward to checking out the offerings!

 

thanks for sharing!!

Sigh.... surely this will be a additional charge activity....bet, anyone? LOL 

If it’s something I liked and had the time, I may participate. But.... sheeezzz...

They are giving away a cruise in partnership with Michael's, also. It popped up on FB. I registered, of  course.

They can schedule port day crafting events that involve making bedazzled casino hats and sweaters!

On our cruise on the Sunshine in November, they had make it with Michael's activities. Maybe we were a pilot? They were no extra charge. If I remember, they were every sea day. My wife and kids went to all of them. They really enjoyed it. They were mainly Christmas themed on our cruise. The ones I remember were Christmas cards, a popsicle stick picture frame and a snowman.

There is no mention of it being an extra charge, and I doubt it would be - the materials will be donated by Michael's as a promo to their branding, and although it is stated as being for kids and adults, I'm sure it will be very kid-oriented, and Carnival, IMHO, does a pretty good job of offering free kid-friendly activities.

On the Breeze last month we made a bead bracelet one day and the other you were supposed to use ink stamps to make a card.  People were walking off with the stamps like they were personal supplies and not for everyone.

Carnival said no charge, and they will supply what's needed.

I love the fact that when I’m having cruise withdrawals, I can now go to my local Michaels and make Carnival themed crafts. 😊🛳

I wonder is Michael's can be convinced to add a Red Frog rum bar to it's stores?

I wish I could show my SnS card at Michaels and get a good discount to make my scrapbook of my cruise!!!
