Has anyone got engaged on a cruise ship?

My son bought his girlfriend a engagement ring today and is going to propose to her on the ship. Any one else done this?

Sounds romantic!! I hope all goes well for your son and that she does say YES!! :D

As far as getting engaged on a cruise for myself, I'll let you know when we return from our Conquest cruise in Jan! Ha! :p (If it doesn't happen before!!)

Happy sailing,

T.

Nope, but I got engaged on Friday, February 13, 2004 and got married in OchoRios while cruising on the Triumph on April 22, 2004! Piece of cake! ;)

My niece got engaged on a cruise about 2 years ago. Her now husband took her to the back of the ship to watch the stars, he then got on one knee and proposed, and she then fell to both her knees and said "yes". Pretty romantic and fun for everyone that was there! Her mom, dad, and brother, myself, the aunt and my husband, her other aunt and uncle , and 4 of her closest cousins! It was a family vacation and we all enjoyed celebrating her engagement with the both of them on a cruise ship!!

Just to let you know, we all were not there when he proposed, they were alone. They then showed off her ring to everyone later on the ship at dinner!

Not on the cruise, but about a week or less before the cruise. Interesting thing is that no one in our group knew it until after the cruise.

I have seen several couples get engaged onboard, most of them asked CCL crew/staff for assistance either by working it into a show or making some special arangements in the diningroom. I'm sure they have a lot of great ideas onboard.

What SEF said. While I didn't get engaged on the ship, we did however decide over the course of our cruise, which included Valentines Day, that the marriage was not worth saving :D

Take a look at this thread to see some examples of on-board proposals. :)

My FH proposed aboard the Celebrity Summit on the first formal night during a Thanksgiving cruise last year. He had flowers sent to the room before dinner with a note that said "Will you marry me?". I said yes. We will be married aboard the Carnival Legend in new York Harbor on May 29, 2005.

Thanks for the thread Dave!

I got engaged on our cruise in March 2002- under the guise that it was a trip for my birthday. he did it on the top deck at night (we fight about which night, but I know it was formal) Lots of drinks were purchased for us by other cruisers!

After the proposal, I was not allowed to call anyone and tell them. When his family picked us up at the airport, I could tell they were trying to look at my hand, but I kept putting it behind me, in my pocket...they were too afraid to ask!

Can't wait for our honeymoon cruise!
