Thanks a ton Tom It was Julie last month.. not sure if she's rotated out elsewhere. There was a magician on the ship when we sailed - not sure if he's changed out too.. card tricks and such - http://www.rojastalentgroup.com/talent/variety/chipromero/index.html Congrats and good luck with your plans!!

tmarkham9 Posted November 19, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks for the response gator..that would be perfect but I talked to the event coordinator group and they said that there would be no magic show on board.. Were you sailing on the Gem? My other thoughts were some different shows like a game show or such.. My original plan was to propose on a horse back ride through the jungle in samana with a picnic area set up by a waterfall swimming hole.. Unfortunately Norwegian can not take any food off the boat and there is no area for a private picnic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted November 19, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2013 My thought would be to talk with the Hotel Director Jenny Lim once you are on board. She may have some really great ideas. She is also a very nice lady. If you want to do this privately, do a special dinner somewhere. I am sure that the Food and Beverage Director or the Restaurant Manger could make very special. Best Wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorsfam Posted November 19, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2013 yes - Julie was CD on the Gem and we had the magician on the ship... entertainment changes out often and depends on itinerary length too... if you guys are jokers, the Second City might be able to work something in as well? maybe do a Tours with Terry in Samana and get some ideas from him.. they do the horseback waterfall thing Sounds like you've got some great ideas.. Hope she says yes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidybabe Posted November 19, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Check the Jan 11, 2014 roll call. A fellow CC is on the Gem this week and is also sailing on Jan 11, and she promised to report back to us all the staff on the Gem. Congrats Safe sailling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could play a special piece of music for you. He is a very nice gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a ton Tom Along the lines of an idea......they have a game show called the almost newlywed game.....they will probably have on Gem. Might be a neat idea. It is based on the Newltwed game show.

Rare mizLORInj Posted November 19, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We had someone named Matt on the 1 nighter this past weekend. Julie wasn't on the Gem. I saw someone propose on the stage of a ship (not sure what line it was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a ton Tom Congratulations Tom. Do join your roll call. Which Dec cruise will it be? Maybe your roll call can get into the surprise... sit in the first row in the theater, turn around, and hold up signs spelling your proposal or something to that effect :D Edited November 19, 2013 by kylenyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmarkham9 Posted November 20, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for the great ideas and information guys.. I did get in touch with the event group and they said that Matt was going to be the CD on this trip Dec 4th.. I'm thinking about our last stop in Samana on that horseback riding trip through the jungle, because at that point she will be assuming i'm not going to pop the question.. Does anyone else have ideas to add to the plan or how to do it.. The picnic idea is a no go (She would have loved that).. Just wanted to say thank you guys again for all the help, really appreciate it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to say thank you guys again for all the help, really appreciate it!! I would recommend booking that horseback-to-the-falls excursion with "Tour Samana with Terry" and clue him in to your plan. Proposing at the falls would be absolutely amazing. Those falls are among the most spectacularly beautiful sights I have seen in all my 50 years. Please consider booking it with Terry, though! He's fantastic to work with, and runs 1st Class excursions in Samana. His personal touch will make all the difference in that excursion - and considering what an important day it will turn out to be, you want the very best you can get. ;) Here's wishing you a lifetime of happiness together! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmarkham9 Posted November 21, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I took your advice and emailed terry, I tried to get another private company to do it about a month ago but they weren't helpful...keeping my fingers crossed that terry can pull though and set up a spot to ask her to be my wife :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auntierobin Posted November 21, 2013 #21 Share Posted November 21, 2013 This might not be what you are looking for, but before all the shows either the CD or someone else comes on stage to make announcements/introduce the show. You could have a banner or sign made up for them (banner would take two people, but would be easy to smuggle aboard in your luggage) to hold up on stage (make sure you are sitting in the front row)asking your girlfriend to marry you (be sure and include her name on the banner/sign)and when they do get down on one knee with the ring. You would have the added bonus of the possibility that they might record it since they record most entertainment to be shown on the stateroom tv's later. Jenny the HD is terrific and would most certainly help with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
