Hawaii697 Posted September 18, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It's a very slow day here at the ole J.O.B. and after reading the boards for a bit, I was curious as to how many of you have won a Ship on A Stick and how did you win it? I've won a few but my favorite was when I sailed on the Destiny and the assistant CD (Malcolm-in-the-Middle) and his helper (Francesca) were having a limbo contest. The problem was they where missing the limbo pole. They where actually holding hands and having folks go under. After about 5 minutes of this (the line was really long), I came up with an idea that helped them out. I tied together 7 cloth napkins (from Lido deck). I took over to them and they continued the limbo dance without a hitch. After they announced the winner (wasn't me ;) ), they announced "the lady who tied together the napkins, please come over). Of course, I was like uh oh, what did I do :eek: !!! Anyway, they presented me with the lovely ship on the stick and named me McGyver for the rest of the cruise. Ahh, such memories :D !!

Wennfred Posted September 18, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I only saw one given away on the Pride last week, they don't give them away like they used too. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife won 2 on the 9/1/06 Legend cruise. One for a Famous Faces trivia contest and the other for Game Show. The second one came with a bottle of chamagne. vincenzo:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiestacruiser Posted September 18, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2006 We won one last year on the Miracle for a team trivia contest, and we recieved two last week, one for trivia and one the kids won! They gave many out on the Legend this past week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted September 18, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2006 We have 23 (at last count) and 8 medallions (they did those for awhile instead of ships on a stick). One of hubby's is so old it has a marble base, instead of the plastic. For a grand total of 31. 10 came from me singing in the Talent Contests, many more came from our oldest son winning ping pong tournaments (usually against adults) and scavenger hunts, etc. and 5 hubby won. But the most special ones are the 3 from our youngest son (our special needs child). His first was from Mark Price for being his "favorite cruiser" and the other 2 for being the "youngest unofficial Platinum cruiser on the Cruise" on the Spirit and the Pride.

davy jones Posted September 18, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I won one on the Legend on a trivia contest. DD won one for a different trivia contest. She views it as one of her proudest accomplishments. :) Some people will do things that I won't do to win one. :O But to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf5585 Posted September 18, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Derfette wanted a "Stick on a Ship" so badly that after she lost trivia she went up to the cruise host and asked him for one. He said if she would hug him he would give her a one, Well she came back to the cabin 2 hours later. At least she got her "Stick on a Ship" And on the last cruise she CHEATED on trivia to get one. Time for the whips and chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abitaturbodog Posted September 18, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2006 My son won the ship-on-a-stick for the scavenger hunt! They gave out lots of them on the Glory last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45014 Posted September 18, 2006 #11 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I was disappointed when I didn't win one for a pool game, so (it was my birthday) at dinner that night my son bought me one in the gift shop and gave it to me as a present. The next day I win one for the trivia contest, so I came home with 2, but only 1 "real one". I proudly display it in the closet in the guest room at our home.

Third Coast Sailor Posted September 18, 2006 #15 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have seen it mentioned before , but what exactly is a ship-on-a-stick?? Is it the equivalent of all the key chains RCL use to give out ?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr81 Posted September 18, 2006 #16 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have seen it mentioned before , but what exactly is a ship-on-a-stick?? Is it the equivalent of all the key chains RCL use to give out ?:confused: Yeah, same premise as the key chains given as prizes on RCL. Except the ship on a stick is really a trophy. About 6 inches tall, gold (plastic) on a black base with the name of the ship on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgiabelle Posted September 18, 2006 #21 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I won a ship on a stick and two medallions, plus a bunch of other cool stuff, for winning the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game on the Carnival Spirit. It was on the closed circuit tv, so I had people asking me about it all week - i guess that's my 15 minutes of fame!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
