What's interesting about these 14-oz glasses (3) is that they're somewhat dated. Crown Cruise line goes back many years here at the Port of Palm Beach with their first ship being the Viking Princess (now Palm Beach Princess). On the back of the glasses are listed the four vessels that sailed under the Crown Cruise Line flag at the time the glasses were made: Crown Monarch, Viking Princess, Crown Islander and Crown Diver. What's not listed (and dates the glass) is the Crown Jewel which was delivered just after the Crown Monarch (somewhere late-1980s).
Shortly after the Monarch and Jewel's new terminal building was completed and operating, CCL sold the two vessels to Cunard. The chips were made by Chipco and I traded/sold them off years ago. Never saw any in huge quantity, since.
Sorry for the poor scan.
The three glasses will be listed at eBay.
