I have received the Crown and Anchor postcards, the tote bags, the toiletry bags, the picture frames.

I have a RCI addiction to items. I collect them - I have brochures dating years back as well.

If anyone is interested in selling or trading anything, feel free to email me.

I even have a name badge/tag of my favorite bar waiter- he was excellent. He was on Rhapsody and now on another ship.

I have two bins filled with RCI stuff. I am an RCI addict, unfortunately!

oh wait, i forgot to mention the plethera of crown and anchor coupon books that i rarely use. i sold a bunch on ebay for about $15 each. Not bad.

I was thinking about buying some of those but was apprehensive about it. (not YOURS specifically but in general) Do you have to buy for your exact ship and have coupons only for your Crown and Anchor level?

Thanks for any insight!

The crown and anchor coupons are either diamond, platinum or gold status. There are certain coupon books for 3-4 day cruises and 5-7 day cruises from what I understand. I have a bunch of 5-7 day cruise coupon books - all at platinum value - they are not for a specific ship, just specific for length of sailing. I never guaranteed on ebay that they would work for a non member but from my experience, RCI employees never ask to see your card (to check status). Typically, you hand them the coupon, tell them your cabin number and you get your free item/discount.

They sometimes fudge the actual status, when a cruise has an above average number of people have issues with the correct credits being in place. Somehow, I've never actually been on the side that gains from that.

Likewise, the receptions, typically they'll take your word for it, unless you simply can't sell it with a straight face.
