funkyfaces Posted January 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My daughter and future son-in-law will be having their honeymoon on Carnival Legend in April. My husband and I have been on the Carnival website looking at various things to send to their cabin. What items have you given or received that make the best gifts? Are there things that aren't worth the money? I would appreciate anyone's input. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siestakeys04 Posted January 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Before they got rid of drink coupons I purchased that surprise for my brother he was very thankful. Maybe u could pay for an excursion or if there is a steakhouse that would be nice. Or chefs table.

MicksMom Posted January 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Would they enjoy the spa? You could give them some Onboard credit for the spa. DD & SIL went on The Magic for their honeymoon & we upgraded them from their balcony to a Cloud 9 Spa balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyfaces Posted January 5, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks for the ideas. We can't upgrade them since they already booked a suite.I like the idea of ship credit for the steakhouse or excursions. I think they might like that better than chocolate covered strawberries.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latitude918 Posted January 5, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't know them, but cruise cash or booze is what I would want. I know my girlfriend wouldn't be against a bottle of champagne as a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshelly0525 Posted January 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2014 On our last cruise we purchased the High Seas Deluxe Tote Package and found it to be very useful. It was nice to have an extra t-shirt to throw on, we used the visors quite a bit on the ship and excursions, we would take the tote on the lido deck filled with books and water, and it was fantastic having a champagne toast with the nice souvenir glasses! For $100, we thought it was a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some think things like a spa are great, but if it were me, I would care less for it. Not everyone is a steakhouse lover either, though it would be better than the spa.

bmckim Posted January 5, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2014 You can send them a bottle of wine that will either be sent to their room or given to them at Dinner. We did that for my wife's cousin on their last cruise and they loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle1836 Posted January 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 5, 2014 send them a bottle from Bon Voyage if there is something there that they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dare2Believe Posted January 6, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think maybe a reservation for the steakhouse would be nice! Or even just some cruise cash that they can spend as they wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinthi Posted January 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2014 We really appreciated the photo credits on our honeymoon. We didn't use all of our bar cash but our photo cash was a HUGE help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sue328 Posted January 6, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I would say cruise cash, that way they can spend it on whatever they want. We renewed our vows last February and that is what most of our guest gave us and it worked out great. We spent it on whatever we wanted on board. When we got to our cabin we had lots of cards telling us who sent what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got to our cabin we had lots of cards telling us who sent what. I said the same thing earlier. Let them spend their windfall of money on what they want unless they've previously expressed a desire towards a specific thing. Maybe she'd like to get her hair done before getting pictures done. I know that's expensive. Maybe they'd like to splurge in the casino without guilt. Maybe there's an excursion they would not ordinarily book due to cost.

funkyfaces Posted January 9, 2014 Author #19 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks everyone for the great ideas. We might go with the cruise cash. However today my daughter expressed interest in two different excursions. One was the Amazing Cozumel Race and the other is the Stringray Sandbar, Hell, and Turtle Farm Experience in Grand Cayman. Which one is a better excursion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However today my daughter expressed interest in two different excursions. One was the Amazing Cozumel Race and the other is the Stringray Sandbar, Hell, and Turtle Farm Experience in Grand Cayman. Which one is a better excursion? I still would go with the cruise cash under their control. My reasoning is what happens if for some reason that stop is cancelled? How would reimbursement be given if you paid for it? (Just wondering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
