Anniversary cruise

[Gaffington12]

Hi there!

First post shut down cruise is booked! We're excited to get back to cruising! My husband and I are traveling with my family of 12 celebrating my parent's  50th wedding anniversary! Is there some place that I can look at to make this cruise special for my parents?

On the page that sends you to, just under the Gifts and Stateroom Decor heading you will find a click here for FAQs that will hopefully answer any further questions. One useful FAQ answer is:

A special dinner at the steakhouse would be a good way to celebrate.  If you go on the first night, each table gets a free bottle of wine.

The wine is cheap. Just FYI.

If you used a PVP they can request something for the room, at least they used to.

 

Also. We ordered a cake for MDR meal, talked to wait staff and had purchased a cake topper from Amazon stating happy 55th. The wait staff added this to the cake. 

 

Purchase the room decorations package. 

 

Can have treats delivered to room. 

 

Order a banner for cabin door. 

 

It will be special with whatever you choose.

You can beg for some strawberries to be delivered to their room on JH's facebook page if you have no pride.

My Europe Pride cruise in October has CHEERS and Bottomless Bubbles available to purchase on my Cruise Manager

Carnival does a vow renewal package.  It is a bit pricey but supposedly very nice.  One of my friends did it.

That looks interesting!  I'm coming up on 32 years with my DH and that could be a great way to memorialize our marriage.

I had been hoping to do this with dh as we are married 40 years in June, but we have my dd's wedding in August and just can't swing a cruise time wise right now.
