Does anyone know exactly what they do, if anything? We celebrated my DH's birthday on Caribbean Princess. They put up ballons on the door and a Happy Birthday sign. He also got a small birthday cake on a night that I designated in the specialty restaurant that we were dining in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted June 10, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We have had the same experience as Bunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted June 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Same as Bunny & Paul. Sort of nice when someone in the cabin next door has the balloons -- makes your cabin easy to spot! :D LuLu ~~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammyluvs Posted June 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We celebrated our 50th anniversary last month on the Emerald and they decorated our door, we received a card from the captain and they gave us a card to give to our waiter in the DR to get our anniversary cake and song. The cake is small but enough for 6 people to get a big bite. We left the balloons and door greeting on the whole 27 days. Everyone liked it so they could find their rooms easy;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoney34 Posted June 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We will be celebrating our honeymoon and dw's bday. Do they charge for this? I saw it on the personalizer but didn't know if there was an extra charge for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassyredhat Posted June 10, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We celebrated my DH's birthday on Caribbean Princess. They put up ballons on the door and a Happy Birthday sign. He also got a small birthday cake on a night that I designated in the specialty restaurant that we were dining in. Exactly our experience. However, for DS and DIL, they forgot. I informed their cabin steward, and he put it up immediately. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted June 10, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Also, if you do NOT wish to have the balloons on your cabin door, make sure your cabin steward knows. Once, we got balloons which we had not requested for our anniversary. Happily, the room steward removed them from outside and put them inside the cabin which was nice.

Ronnieslady Posted June 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2013 On all 8 cruises on my DH's birthday we always had to tell cabin steward after the fact, even past the date. We only got the balloons & sign twice out of about 8 cruises we took celebrating his birthday. Was told by the pasengers services desk, when I complained, that we are to remind the maited in the dining room, when it was overlooked most times.:eek: We always have traditional dining. So for us, we had to remind & insist, even when it was confirmed on our reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelearnteach Posted June 10, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We've celebrated a special occasion on all 4 of our Princess cruise's, and never had a problem. I arranged all of them through the cruise personalizer with no issues. If your special occasion is one month before/after your cruise month you can still celebrate it on your cruise. I always set it up for the second day, just cause I know turn-around day is so hectic for the crew, because that's just the day they will decorate and you will get a card and a voucher for a "special treat" at any MDR or specialty restaurant. So you can get your cake really any night you want, but be prepared to be in the spotlight, as the waiters and even some fellow passengers will sing to you :).

Happy2cruise Posted June 10, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks to OP for this thread. I completely forgot to mark hubby's birthday in our cruise personalizer for January cruise. Must say that Princess is great to offer these celebrations at no charge:D:D. Did our first RC last January and there was a charge for decorations and another for cake... not that my husband isn't worth it but come on RC:confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeii Posted June 10, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We celebrated both my birthday and our 20th anniversary, and got balloons and card and a door sign for each. Also the special cake in the dining room each time, and a song from the waiters. The cake is delicious, btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPSnorkeler Posted June 10, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We agree - the cake is great! Yummy chocolate. Our travel companions have celebrated birthdays on several cruises. The balloons and sign come on the day that you indicate in the Personalizer. As mentioned, you can take your card to the MDR or specialty restaurant any night that you wish.
