My wife and I bought a picture on our last cruise on the Grand Princess which was April 6th to April 21st. At the auction they had two mystery pictures where you can only see the back. If you win they will turn the pictures around and you can say whether you like them or not. I was the winner and one of the staff came over with pen in hand I told him that I didn't want them. There was no pressure from and I didn't buy. On the last day I went to the gallery and looked at the art. Again their is no pressure and if you need help somebody will assist you. I noticed that the prices had dropped and their was a lot of activity going on. I loved this one picture by Thomas Kinkaid called "Pools of Serenity" and I bought it, but I hadn't told my wife. When she saw it she agreed that it was a good buy. We took it to a local art store where they looked at it and told us that it was authentic. All pictures on ships have plexi-glass in them, otherwise they could get damaged in rough seas or moving them around. We decided to put UV protected glass in. We paid $490 US for the picture and after looking on the internet we realized what a good deal it was. I would buy another Kinkaid picture from Princess Cruises on our next trip. The bottom line is that you have to love the picture if your going to buy.
