Cruisers - Wear Your Flair When You Cruise

Recently, I heard the word "flair" used to mean pin-back buttons or pin-on badges. Flair for Cruisers, then, would be wearable pin-back buttons for people who love to cruise, heeding the call of "All Aboard!"

There are buttons to wear on boarding day, for wishing your new shipmates bon voyage. Others are designed with just a bit of cruise humor. Some let you tout an achievement. And still others just speak to your love of all things cruising. Large family groups or members of group cruises like to have cruise name badges for identifying them as part of the group.

Yes, there are different kinids of cruise flair, and you'll find some of each kind at my gallery for cruisers, CruiseReady on Zazzle, and also right here on this lens. You are cordially invited to come along with me, and read on, for a sampling of Cruise Flair.

Cruise Flair Just Because

Because You Love Cruising

If you love cruising, you can say so anytime ... when you're getting ready to take a cruise ... when you've just completed a voyage ... when you are on the high seas... or when you just wich you were.
I designed these for those times. You can just click on one of them if you want to see it in the gallery - or buy it, even.

Humorous Cruise Buttons

Here's some fairly tame cruise humor for you. Now, I'll admit that, if you're a regular cruiser, you'll 'get' this humor more easily than those who have never cruised.
Nevertheless, I hope one of these buttons brings a smile to your face - if only for a moment!

Adventure Flair

I Did It Buttons

You can do all sorts of things on a cruise that you might not have the opportunity to do at home. Sometimes, you just might feel like crowing a little about the fact that you zipped over a tropical forest (or the decks of a ccruise ship) at 40 miles per hour, hanging on to a cable. Or, maybe you were thrilled to be swimming with stingrays. Perhaps you were able to withstand the waves of a surfing simulator withoug falling on your keester. Well, I have designed buttons for all three of those adventures.

Here are some fun cruise related things from Amazon - A 3-D puzzle; a video game; some lovely cruise ship luggage tags; a removable and reusable pretend ship's porthole; and the classic cruise book "What Time is the Midnight Buffet?" (Millions of cruisers and non cruisers have chuckled their way through that particular book.)

Some People Collect Buttons

Some eople have button collections. One very popular type of buttin for collectors is old election campaign buttons. I know of one cruiser who collects buttons and pins for specific ships.

Do you collect buttons or pins? Or do you collect something else? What?

Identifying Flair

Cruise Name Badges

If you are cruising with a number of family members, or as a member of a group cruise, you may find yourself the proud owner of a cruise name badge. These are wonderful for spotting others who are members of your group, which is useful for groupsthat have a good percentage of members who have only met on line. They're also great for large family reunion cruises.

They can be customized with the art of your choice- perhaps a company logo or a graphic or photo of your ship. They typically have your group's name, the name of the ship, and your sailing date printed on them. Individual names are also an option.

The bonus of having one of these for each member of your party is that everyone will have a unique dated momento of the special onboard gathering once the cruise is over. Isn't that nice? A custom souvenir that won't cost you an arm and a leg.
