Carlos1978 Posted November 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Hi there cruising community!! I am looking for the ship models found onboard the cruise ships inside the gift shops. I am specifically looking for models of the Carnival Splendor and Carnival Breeze. If anyone out there is planning a future cruise on any of these vessels and would be willing to help me out in obtaining a ship model that would be greatly appreciated. Or if you happen to have a model at home and don't want it anymore or have an extra and are willing to sell it, please let me know. I travelled on these ships years ago and they didn't get them while I was on board, and I highly doubt I will be going back on them again either. If there is someone out there that has no issue in helping me out, my contact details is carlosribeiro1978@yahoo.ca I live in Canada and live very close to the US border, so I would ask anyone willing to sell me a model just ship to a post office I use in Buffalo. I would send payment through PayPal for the cost of the ship, shipping charges and a little something for the inconvenience. I am aware that some can be found on ebay and people are asking for more than 3X the cost of them, and I am looking for honest cruisers out there willing to help a fellow cruiser like them. I would do the same as well if anyone asked me. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idraconis Posted November 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Have you tried Ebay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos1978 Posted November 10, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yes I have, as I wrote in my post that they are on ebay but people are asking over 3X of what they are actually worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyinMD Posted November 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I wish I could help as I've started collecting models from cruises I've been on myself and have been looking for Imagination, Pride and Elation models and like you, I'm hesitant to spend the amount to get them from Ebay. Unfortunately though, the only place I've seen them is on the ships themselves and on sites like Ebay significantly marked up. I may have to suck it up and pay from there.

AnastasiaBeaverhousen Posted November 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'll be on the Splendor on December 3 and would be happy to pick one up for you! I'm in Canada too so I could ship directly to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasRed Posted November 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 11, 2017 We will be on the Breeze in late December, and if you have not been successful by then, I would be happy to get it for you. I will subscribe to this thread and check back before we leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted November 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2017 For anyone in the same situation, looking for models of past cruises, here is what I did. I never started collecting them until our fourth cruise. I came on here and went to the Roll Calls. I posted in the near future cruises of the ships that I needed the models for. Instantly I got replies for all three models. I explained that I would pay for the model, shipping and extra for their troubles. There were two men and one woman that replied. They contacted me and told me how much the ship cost and how much it was to ship it. I then sent them a cashier's check. One of the men shipped it to me before I had paid him. Now that's trust! I gave them ten dollars extra for their troubles. I wound up paying probably twice as much overall but it was still better than three times what they charge on ebay. And they were new, not used.

TexasRed Posted December 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Carlos, I am leaving on Sunday on the Breeze and was wondering if you still need your ship model. Please let me know if you do and I will email you once I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
