Bon Voyage Gift Ideals??

[iRICKATRON]

Got a group of friends together its 8 of us havent seen each other in about 10 years.  want to get everyone a personalized gift to commemorate the occasion.  was thinking final straws since paper straws suck.  and better ideals?

I like a lanyard for my sign and sail card, but some do not. I'd be happy with a friend buying a round of drinks:-)

IDK what your budget is .... but how about a photo that was taken by one of the Ship’s photographers’?  I’d ask ahead of time to get the 5 X 7, instead of those 8 X 10’s. Since you’d be ordering 8 copies, maybe even ask for a Discount. 🙂🙂
 

I’ve cruised with friends and my family. I love this type of gift that I treat myself to ... great memories with those I love ❣️

P.S.

  Since our son worked on the Carnival ships. (He finished his last Contract end of July 2019.)  

  I can tell you that YES, those photos are marked up significantly!  Shockingly so IMHO.

Ship photos are a big $$ and IMO not worth the cost. How about asking another cruise passenger to take a group photo [do a few in different locations], and then make copies once home, [certainly less $$] and mail them to each, post cruise - nice memory, too.

I once went on a group land tour with my moms friends. They had a group photo taken. After the trip we were all given a mug with the photo on it.  I smiled every time I saw the mug in my cabinet.  Later when cleaning out my moms home I realize she had a group of mugs from trips she had taken with that group.  You might look a Shutterfly for ideas with photos.

How do you personalize a straw?

 

If you're open to practical things that aren't personalized each cabin would probably really benefit from a multi plug power cube...runs about $16...

Make yourself or have made nice door signs for your cabin doors!  Those are always fun to have and see; and I have found, help tremendously when trying to find your cabin down a long hall, especially after a few cocktails.

the final straw is a folding metal straw.  comes in a case was thinking about doing a monogram or something on the case.

Ooooh, yea that could work. Be practical for more than just the cruise too

Depends what your group likes.

 

I would love a personalized cigar. That would be a photo that would be a great memory for me.
