One of the traditions on any cruise is for the ship to post a map of the region that the ship will sail, and label all of the ports and the pathways that that the ship plans to take. This is traditionally auctioned off near the end of the cruise, and the proceeds go to charity. The chart is signed by all of the ship’s officers and is a nice memento if you are into that stuff.
For a 7-day cruise, the typical auction price ends up to be around $100 to $125. For a world cruise, it usually is higher.
We know the person who “won” the auction for the auction of our ship’s map today. He bought the map for (get this) $2,000! He was very excited that he had won.
