One souvenir a lot of you might not have thought of: Our room cleaner would leave a towel animal almost every day. One day she made a bird out of a wash rag. I ask her how much to take it home, and she gave it to me. Best Souvenir of the Trip! Even had it cost just a bit I still would have bought it.

I'm a bourbon drinker, recently on Harmony they had plenty of Blanton's. I bought a case. To put it in perspective. My local liquor store might get 1 or two bottles every other month. The staff on the ship said they received 600 bottles. It was funny to watch all the Bourbon drinkers walk by and then stop and turn around to take a picture of all the Bourbon. A cruise ship is a great place for liquor and other things too.

I always buy a small Swarovski piece on every cruise, either on the ship or at a port shop.

I used to purchase the wraps, evening bags , but my weakness was watches !! I would always have between 7 to 12 watches whenever I traveled to match my outfits. At $10. each ( with a spare battery) I would totally stock up. My fragrance,Bulgari was my go to purchase, it's amazing and I immediately remember when I got it and it's always a great story when someone compliments my fragrance. The weekend fold up flat bag is a game changer! Takes up absolutely no room while you pack, and can hold a lot of T shirts, souvenirs, shot grasses and other must haves for the trip home.

I am very particular in what I want. If I see one that is NOT mass produced, usually handmade on an island, I will buy it. My husband helps me choose them. We want one that represents the culture of the island. My favorite is one from Martinique. The doll's dress and headdress are made from banana leaves! I have some hand embroidered ones. I have a Precious Moment Eskimo doll that I bought in Alaska. I was lucky enough to meet the designer.She signed it on the bottom of one of the shoes. Very special. Ships used to sell a drink of the day when you first board the ship. It was in a logo glass. We have several of those as well. Don't know if they do that anymore.

Before buying alcohol onboard (or in a port), have an idea of prices in your local area BEFORE you go. In the past, we never really knew if prices were competitive or not, so this time I had checked on prices of some items we might be willing to buy onboard. I found that most prices weren't as good as I could get at home, but a couple of items WERE much cheaper, so we took advantage of that.

started collecting shot glasses but they can take up lot of space -- switched to bottle openers especially magnetic ones that I put on the frig in the garage. Buy one for each country or significant place.

I like to buy the ship models they often have for sale. I've always been fascinated with naval architecture and have a display case of models from the RMS Titanic, to the Queen Mary, to the USS Arizona and Missouri. But there's something special about having a model of a ship you've actually sailed on. (A bucket list item is to get one from the QM2 on a Transatlantic crossing) And in the duty free shop, I like to buy a bottle or two of a good whiskey that I just sometimes can't find locally, or is sold at a major markup

I bought a $10 crossbody on a cruise. It finally gave up the ghost, but I got my FULL $10 out of it. And that's the thing..... It my be both inexpensive and cheap. But if you use it for a year, you absolutely get your money's worth.

I’ve gotten some very nice, thick beach towels from Carnival. I also like to get a ship logo coffee mug & magnets from the stops we make.

I was discussing this subject earlier with a friend for our upcoming cruise in 17 days, and she mentioned she purchased some nail files or nail clippers with cruise or locations, I’m going to look for these too! I usually buy refrigerator magnets from the ship and eat port. I also like a few T-shirts. I wish I would see more shirts with cruise name that’s reasonably priced instead of just the cruise line.
