Ship Model

Does the gift shop on Princess carry models of the ship?

 

We are taking our first Princess cruise in January. We have cruised a lot and my son likes getting a model of the ship from the gift shop. He will be disappointed if they are not available.

 

If they are, anyone know the price?

[Sargent_Schultz]

AFAIK, they do - Golden Princess certainly did. Less expensive than Carnival but also much smaller. I think the price might have been around $13.

I've seen them on pretty much every Princess ship I have been on. There may be more than one version, too. Prices may vary.

They all do, I have one from every ship I've been on (12)

Got off the Caribbean Princess last month and they were there.

Wish I would have thought about it sooner - I would have asked someone to pick me one up as a Christmas gift. The cruise is my sons gift.

We were on the Ruby Princess last month. They had two sizes of model - one was $12.99 and the other larger model was about $20 I believe. I wish I had purchased one.

We have the Golden, Grand (one with the old shopping cart and one after it was removed), Crown, Caribbean and Sapphire. When we on the Island they were not in stock. They are about 7 inches long. We paid $9.95 but I think price may have increased a bit. We are hopping the Royal will have them when we sail in January.

I have seen them on E-Bay or Amazon if you would want one for a Christmas gift.

We have the model of ever ship we have ever been on (except the Sun, hint hint hint) and they are all the same size. We have them lined up all together.

 

Well they changed the size of the Royal model and it's much bigger. But I don't think it's as big as the other ship's big model. So we are left with all the ships being uniform and then one bigger ship. The OCD person inside of me said no way and we left the ship not buying it.

 

The response we got was "different ship, different size". One of the only things (besides the soot) that annoyed me on the Royal. (And if the the size of the ship model was one of the only annoyances, then I'd say I had a good cruise!)

The ships models on Royal are $39.95...

When I was on the Grand Princess in Sept they also had the new larger size models for $39.99 along with older size for about $14-20. I was wondering if this was a new addition fleet wide

Already checked. Nothing there. I did post to next weeks cruise roll call but no takers yet. Even offered a $10 bonus.
