Avril Posted March 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I was just wondering, do they still sell the hats in the shops onboard that say "Dam Ships" on them? I've seen a lot of people wearing them when I've been in various ports on my other cruises and I want one so bad!! :D I sail on the Eurodam in Decmeber (it'll be my 1st HAL cruise)!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmBeachMom Posted March 11, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2008 It's hit or miss in the onboard shops. Check early and also speak with the shops manager. A shipment may be coming on board during the cruise. Also, check eBay. I have frequently seen the "Dam Ships" caps for sale there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 11, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2008 We saw them on Maasdam, Volendam and Noordam. I think they are usually on all the ships. Perhaps from time to time they have sold out and are awaiting a shipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a hard enough time trying to get a photo of one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandRaven Posted March 11, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 11, 2008 We got ours by cashing in our "Dam Dollars" on Westerdam. Funny thing - my Dad got one too, but Mom won't let him wear it because she says it's disrespectful to the Navy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x lindsay x Posted March 11, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2008 They've been available for Dam Dollars on my last three cruises, though the Dam Ships hats they sell in the gift shop are a little bit nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topspot Posted March 12, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Our family enjoyed taking "dam" pictures and going to the "dam" giftshop at Hoover Dam. Can't wait to buy a "dam" hat on our "dam" cruise.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eh2zed Posted March 12, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Should be in the shops On Board. if not on display almost for sure they have a few in the back or ask the Cruise Director. They often use them for prizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the daily programs for any "sport" activity ie: golf putting, shuffleboard, basketball free throw, ping pong tournament, etc. conducted by various members of the cruise activities staff. All participants earn a "dam dollar" per event, with winners getting extra dollars (varies). At the end of the cruise, you can "cash" these in for various logo merchandise like caps, t-shirts, sweat shirts, travel bags, etc. These items are distinctive from the ones sold at the logo shop. The purpose of the program is to encourage more physical activity by passengers. This program replaced an earlier program that awarded participation in physical fitness activities. It's a lot of fun and you get to meet some of the friendliest fellow passengers this way. Participation is high on sea days, lower on port days as you would imagine.

FreeStyleNCL Posted March 12, 2008 #15 Share Posted March 12, 2008 want my DAM SHIPS hat? doesn't fit my big head very well haha :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvcruisn' Posted March 12, 2008 #16 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I love my dam ships hat. Got it with dam dollars on the Oosterdam in February. It was a great conversation starter in San Diego after the cruise was over. I met some people on the city bus from the zoo who had been on the same cruise with me. I had never seen them on the ship but we chatted for the length of the bus ride. As I was touring around the city other people saw the hat and we would start chatting about cruising.
