norboy76 Posted May 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have a very big collection of memorabilia I've gotten from friends, my cruises and thrift stores. Anyone else ever thought to check second hand shops?. I have photos of items I've picked up from thrift stores and paid anywhere from 95 cents to 11 dollars. below are some photos and what I paid for the item. - Paid $0.95 cents at *Goodwill*. - Paid $10 on ebay for entire collection. - Paid $2.99 (yes I had that item authenticated and it's from the Normandie) *Value village* - Paid $1.49 *Goodwill* - Paid from 10 cents upto $5 a spoon ( I have 74 spoons in my ship spoon collection ) Those are just some items I've found.

JustCruiseyNotCrazy Posted November 7, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Wow!!! I had just found a carnival cruise Tshirt at Goodwill. It was faded and worn AND a size 3x. (Im a medium) But I thought it would make a cute sleepshirt for our cruise in April. Then......I started thinking its cheezy to buy used. Im going back to snag it, thanks to you!!! Im glad you showed me the way....hopefully I can keep my eyes peeled for treasureslike yours!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising cockroach Posted June 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I see a lot of cruise line beverage containers in thrift shops, as well as tote bags. The other common items are HAL Delft tiles. Never look for/at pins or spoons so never noticed any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising cockroach Posted June 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Saw a ship model of a RCI ship. Quite large at a foot or so. Ceramic or something behind the display case so I didn't touch it. CAD 25 though..... Saw a HAL Rotterdam mug. Quite small, dark blue with gold logo. Must have been old too as it was US-made. Just CAD 0.49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted May 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I saw some soup cups at St. Vincent de Paul this morning that said "ship" to me.....or not. "P" on both sides, set in a compass rose. Does this ring a bell with any of you? They were vintage Shenango China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf49erfreak Posted May 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I've bought shot glasses from thrift stores for under $1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGal999 Posted May 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have a metal water bottle from a previous NCL cruise that is coming with me to Cuba on 5/29th. I buy magnets EVERYWHERE I go. Didn't get one from Barcelona, Spain .... forgot to and am kicking myself. Mostly my souvenirs are post cards that I keep as photos. They're large and are the best pics anyone can get from angles a typical person can't get. Great aerial shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted May 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Yes, I have had a late friend who worked as a volunteer at her Church's thrift shop who knew of my interest in memorabilia. She found several small items in what was donated. The largest was a metal tin that probably held candy with a picture of R.M.S. Queen Mary on its top.

fireman's flame Posted January 27, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I had said I was going to start buying souvenirs in thrift stores, where we were at. But it seems people bring souvenirs home from other places, and donate those, but not so many from the same place where we are. For example, I didn't find Savannah souvenirs in Savannah thrift stores. Lots of other souvenirs, though. Me and my son (jokingly) decided when we want to plan our next trip, we'll go to a local thrift store and find a souvenir and go to that place. We'll already have our souvenir pre-bought :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemycrazy cats Posted March 10, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have recently decided I want to collect pins from the cruises I have been on to put on a lanyard. I don't know what I did with my original ones from my sailings. Never thought to look at Goodwill. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
