Showing off cruise casino chips :)

Hi yall, this is my first post on this site.

Ive been on a few cruises and alot of day cruises. I collect casino chips from cruises and day cruises. I thought maybe some of you would like to see some of my collection. I got tons of casino chips but these are just a few of my $25s.

The red one on top is from Carnival Mardi Gras and is the first chip issued on Carnival in 1972! Anyway, enjoy :)

Nice collection!

I like the plastic cases; great way to display and keep them in mint shape.

$500.00 worth of chips but the memories are worth a lot more. ;)

Welcome to Cruise Critic! :)

Thanks Philly Steve:)

Not all of em cost $25. Some cost as little as $5 and others cost me as much as over $100 to get! It depends on if the chips have been released to the market or how rare they are. The ones that are still in play i get anywhere from face value(if i know someone whos going on a boat) to about $35 or so on ebay or through private sales.

Theres a few other collectors that ive seen post here who have real nice cruise ship chip collections like "jarbg"(who the one who told me about this site) and "ckaplan". ckaplan also has a web site that is used as a guide for Caribbean casino chips as well!

Thanks Philly Steve:)

That'll be our little secret! ;)

we have a pretty good collection of chips from casinos on ships and at places we have been. I would love to have a way to display them all on the wall but cant find anything that looks good. Thank you for sharing your collection

thank you

I am glad to know I am not the only one who leaves 'money on the table' bringing these home. I had a disaster and lost some of mine during a move. Guess I will have to go back on those ships again !!!

Have an extensive chip collection, got a roulett layout from vegas and then put 2 way velcro on the chip from Joanns, a yardage store and put it on the felt. Has been up for years and am always adding new chips. play with it,it will work.:)
