50th birthday ideas for cruise?

[lufty70]

I have a friend coming along on their first cruise and its his 50th bday while on the cruise... He doesnt' want any fuss or anything, but any ideas for anything I can do to celebrate? They will be getting the drink package so a bottle of wine for the room seems silly.. :) Any other ideas? I am kinda stumped!

A cake at dinner would not be too much of a big deal.

For around 30.00 they will decorate his room

We surprised decorated a friend's room for their birthday. Got a duplicate key from their partner and did it while they were out. All things within cruise line regulations of course.

 

A bed full of streamers can be a fun surprise. Door magnets could be cheery too. :)

On my 50th birthday, I paid RCCL to decorate my cabin. They did a nice job with it, and we brought home the items used to decorate and have used them again a few times. Even though they say Royal Caribbean, they are still festive.

 

On that cruise, I actually went to Johnny Rockets for my birthday dinner, and they made me a real nice ice cream "creation" with a candle and sung happy birthday to me. I felt special.

Dinner or lunch at one of the specialty restaurants would be nice.

Apply a $50 dollar spending credit to his account and write it in a card and leave the card in his cabin. Simple but thoughtful !

On my husbands 50 th birthday cruise , RC decorated our suite at no cost. Thought that was awesome.

I second the suggestion of the birthday cake - arrange it through Gifts & Gears, and one of the options is to have it delivered to your(his) table after dinner.

For my mom's 50th, she did not want a fuss and so "ran away" on a cruise with me and my sister. We hung black crepe paper on her door with a sign that said "Happy Birthday!" She took it down so we hung up more.

 

She ended up having a lot of fun with it... because all week people she didn't know stopped her to wish her a happy birthday.

I can relate I did not want anything either however my brother, sister and respective family thought otherwise. We had a wonderful dinner in Chops to celebrate and then they decorated my cabin somehow and cabin door while we were at dinner. The Cabin door had a very large "Over the Hill" sign with an 8*10 picture of me., They brought the decoration themselves. I left it up there for the trip, many folks wished me a happy birthday throughout the trip some. One surprise was from a couple while were were on the platform in Civitavecchia heading to Rome for the day. It was a short Med cruise.

 

 

It proved to be memorable. Have fun.

Not sure where the cruise goes, but the 50th state would be very appropriate.

Do you know if they do it on the day of their bday or the first day of cruise?
