Rare Smokeyham Posted April 29, 2007 #154 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks so much Tatka, I'm also looking for a small model of the SS Rotterdam, from a cruise I took on her in 1993. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear from you. By the way, if there is anyone who would like an update on the current status of that beautiful ship, go to http://www.ssrotterdam.net/ for some current pictures. Thanks a lot.

MINIjen Posted May 28, 2007 #156 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Does anyone know about how much $$ RCI charges for their ship models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatka Posted June 2, 2007 #158 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Does anyone know about how much $$ RCI charges for their ship models? They currently raised the price.. It's $25 now.. even though inside the box it says $19.99. ;) By the way recently I was a bit disappointed.. We have many RCL models (Adventure, Brilliance, Radiance, Sovereign etc).. Recently our friend brought us Splendor of the Seas from her cruise. It doesn't look like Splendor at all , more like Enchantment of the Seas. Even though it's same size ships, they are different frtom outside.. Models should reflect real ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbryce Posted June 6, 2007 #159 Share Posted June 6, 2007 we just started with the models on the last cruise. we were on Monarch in December, saw the models and passed on them, hopefully they will have them when we go back in April. I think the ship models are a great way to commemorate the trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vowsatsea Posted June 9, 2007 #160 Share Posted June 9, 2007 My fiance and I just got off our first cruise together on the Carnival Miracle, and we kept walking over to the ship model the whole cruise, and finally on the last day, I said, "You know we're gunna kick ourselves if we don't get it, and then we decide to start collecting them" So for $25, we got it, and we're sure glad we did. Now I hope the Caribbean Princess has them when we sail her next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vowsatsea Posted June 9, 2007 #162 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Caribbean Princess has them, but they are noticably smaller and cost $10. :( I was hoping they would all kinda match up. Do you have one? If you do, would you happen to have a picture of it? I would imagine it would have to be really small to only cost $10 (a tiny little ship ornament on the Miracle was $10!)

In-the-Glade Posted June 9, 2007 #165 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I just got off the Caribbean Princess on June 3 and didn't see any ship models except the $275 crystal ship. How do I get a cheaper one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted June 9, 2007 #166 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Here is a picture of two models together: 1) Carnival Liberty in the background (Liberty is a bit bigger than Miracle, although not sure about model) 2) Side a side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cages2000 Posted June 24, 2007 #167 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I know that Carnival does not often have ship models available on their older ships, anybody boon on the Fantasy recently? Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Carnival one looks more along the same size as the Caribbean Princess, which is good, because then it might match better! P.S.- that's a nice collection you have there! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Carnival is from gift shop, same as Princess.:) Princess models are the smallest of all. Thank you for nice words.. We have couple more shelves, and it's still growing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montycruiser Posted July 3, 2007 #170 Share Posted July 3, 2007 A friend of mine just posted a Carnival Sensation Cruise Ship replica model and a miniature ship model magnet on ebay if anyone's interested. Search Carnival Cruise Line Sensation Ship and it should pull it up for you. Just listed tonight, ends in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcb4u2 Posted July 4, 2007 #171 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I have purchased 4 models from Alexander Scherbak scherbakshipmodels.tripod.com (Carnival Sensation, Carnival Glory, Carnival Liberty, and Celebration). I have been been very satisfied with the detail and quality. His models are mostly in the 1:900 SCALE and are architecturally correct. They are full hull models mounted in a nice display case with a nameplate showing the specifics of each ship. Although they are more expensive than what you buy on the ship, they are much more accurate and of higher quality. They are produced in limited quantities, and will increase in value as time goes on.

Tatka Posted July 4, 2007 #172 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well, they are 10 times more expensive. :eek: Nice models though...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelman Posted July 12, 2007 #174 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Well Alexander Scherbak also has a 1:1250 waterline collection, which while still pricey is much less than his 1:900 collection in the $130.00 to $170.00 range including shipping. These models are smaller and are only waterline, not full hull. So far he only had two, the Voyager of the Seas class and the Queen Mary 2, but he will be releasing the Millennium Class and Freedom of the Seas Class soon. I am very excited for the Millennium model, as I have sailed on her and always wanted a nice waterline model of her for my collection. Here are the two models he has so far released And here is my current collection, which includes many many 1:1250 scale liners and cruise ships, from all different manufacturers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcb4u2 Posted July 12, 2007 #175 Share Posted July 12, 2007 That is a very nice collection. I have collected mostly full hull models in scale 1:500 and 1/900. I do have one waterline model which is a 1:1500 scale Carnival Celebration. Thanks for posting your pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
