Scatmanjack Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Family was on Liberty of the Seas two weeks ago and I was disappointed to see the 'old' ship on all LotS branded merchandise. It's been 18 months since it had a major overhaul that significantly changed the upper decks- 3 water slides in the back, golf course moved to front, etc... - yet all the shot glasses, t-shirts, postcards, etc. had the older version of the ship on them. I understand they probably have a warehouse filled with these items ordered in bulk from China, but surely they would eventually upgrade the graphics to reflect the current ship when existing stock is sold-out, right?

DocLC Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 @Scatmanjack This likely won't change. They use the same images across the family of ships (Independence, Freedom, and Liberty). Thus, the branding is really generic on the merchandise being sold in my experience. They simply Photoshop in the name of the given ship.

coneyraven Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 We have a fridge magnet from Grandeur .... -- Even though it says Grandeur of the Seas, it's definitely Voyager or Freedom Class -- you can tell because there are more than 2 Decks of Balcony's on the magnet.

Hey, don't these postings belong to the "you know you are a cruise geek when" thread? mom2mybugs, coneyraven, RestingBird and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 What's interesting is I never thought much of the fact the merch does have the "old" design. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestingBird Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I noticed this on Freedom last year, our magnet doesn't have the deck 12 rooms. A tad sad, but understandable, as mentioned earlier. I'll be curious to see if it does change in the future though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 The reality is a vast majority of people have no clue there is a difference. DocLC and RestingBird 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
