A favor to ask someone...

[Cruisin Around]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with a Christmas present...

Recently my husband and I were on a Royal Caribbean cruise and much like Carnival, they make towel animals. My husband (surprisingly) was very interested in them and studied each one intently! I tried to find a book for him on how to make them, and the only one that I could find was on Carnival's website- which I was excited to see...except...they won't mail it to your home, you can only order it to a stateroom, so that went out the window. Would anyone be willing to pick up the Towel Animals book if you are going on a Carnival cruise before Christmas? The book, I believe is only around $13 and I would gladly pay for shipping it to me (I live in PA- USA). Since I'm asking the favor I would have the good faith and send the money to you ahead of time with no problems. I'm very sorry to ask anyone to do this, but I just can't seem to find one or get one any other way. I thought I might be able to turn to my ole buds on this board. Please email me at cruisinaround2004@yahoo.com if you would be kind enough to help me out.

Thanks again!

I'd be glad to help except for the fact I'm sailing AFTER Christmas:( BUT...have you looked on Ebay? You might find one there.

Cruisin around...they do have these on ebay right now. Just checked it out myself. If you don't want to go that route, I will be sailing November 26th. Just let us know:)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your quick posts and I did bid on one that was on ebay right now. I had checked there about 2 weeks ago and there was only one on there and it ended up going for over $50! I didn't want it that bad!

I will keep you updated on how the bidding goes and thank you for the offer- if the bidding gets too high I will take you up on it!

THANK YOU AGAIN!

Hi....I also live in Pa. and I'll be on the Miracle 11/6 thru 11/13. I'd gladly pick up the book for you, no problem. Just let me know:)

I would suggest that you call Carnival and ask them if they will mail the book to you. They mail funship dollars so they obviously can mail if they want to. I think if the choice was making a sale vs not making a sale they would ship it to you....but what do I know:confused:

we too are sailing prior, if you don't luck out with e-bay and carnival won't sell post cruise, feel free to e-mail me and well set it up.... (I go to the towel making classes)
