Do all cruise ships have art on them and do art auctions?

I have only been on Princess, so I would like to hear from all of you who have been on Carnival, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Holland America, and Cunard lines. I’m not talking about art on the walls just for looking at, but art that you can buy like Princess has. Thank you.
Princess carries high quality art from artists like Wyland, Goddard, Erte,Behrens, and even Picasso, the real deal, guaranteed.

Every cruise I have been on has an art auct auction. Most run by the same company, Park West. The only exception is Princess which runs its own art auction. Without the middle man I am sure you get better prices and service.

Cannot answer this as I have not been on all cruise ships. [Joking w/ you]
But I think you could research

Celebrity, Holland America, and Cunard do. You will notice that the less expensive the cruise, the lower the quality of the art sold. Cunard auctions generally deal with the high end stuff, and I have never seen sports memorabilia, photos, or cheesy stuff on Cunard.

I have cruised on several different cruise lines and all of them had art for sale during the duration of the cruise, as well as several art auctions.

I’ve been on Carnival, Princess, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. Every cruise I’ve taken has had at least one art auction during the cruise. The works are certainly not from the great masters, but every cruise says the works are original by known artists. I’ve never seen anything I thought worth purchasing, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth the prices people pay. Perhaps they are more knowledgeable about art than I am.

Every US based cruise line I have been on have had art auctions, NCL, Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean.
I have to say that the best was definitely Princess, the art was no better or worse than the other lines, probably exactly the same as it is all run by the same company, but the champagne flowed more liberally on the Princess ships.

Funnily enough, I was looking at on-line auctions and I found an advert for a job as an art auctioneer for cruise lines and the wage was $50,000 to $100,000 a year, so there must be money in it.

Pretty much all the cruise lines do the art auctions……..Don’t kid yourself; I have been on more than one Princess Cruise and the art auctions arent always what they seem…..Buyer beware!!! Dont be taken advantage of……It doesnt matter what cruise line it is they will try to sell you….Thats how they make money….
