Formal Nights.

[jimpod]

We will be celebating our 30th wedding anniversary within 45 days of our cruise and have noticed (cruise personalizer) that we can nominate a date to celebrate on board. We don't want to choose a formal night so does anyone have any idea what nights will be formal? We are going on the Crown Princess on 5th Sept 09 - Iceland Greenland and Norway Transatlantic. My guess is Days 2, 10 and 17......... any suggestions? Thanks:) .

Wait until you get on board to select your celebration date. Then, you can choose the night that you want the anniversary cake brought to your table and balloons placed on your door. From past experience, we have found that the staff may not even be aware of your cruise personalizer request.

Thanks DesertCruiser - never celebrated anything on board so wasn't sure of the best way to go about it.:)

We celebrated our 20th anniversary on our 7/28 sailing on the CB, but our anniversary was on 7/29 during our sailing. I listed this on the personalizer and balloons were put on our doorway. Since we had anytime dining, we didn't have specific dining plans to pre-arrange anything. We received a card from Princess that said to bring along with us to where ever we were dining and give to the matre'd when we got there. We did this, he told our head waiters and they brought us a dessert and sang happy anniversary to us. It was really nice. Formal nights are crazy busy so I would probably opt for a non formal night to do this. Just pick a day and list it on our personalizer or don't see why you can arrange for something when you get onboard. Happy Anniversary and enjoy your cruise!

Normally Princess delivers a card to your stateroom for your celebration and asks you to bring the card to the dining room on the day you wish to celebrate and they will sing and present cake then.

 

We are anytime diners, not sure if it works like this for Traditional too.

No. In traditional, they know the date in your personalizer, so you do not get the card and they do not need it.

 

The card is needed for anytime because, unlike traditional, they do not know which table in which restaurant you will be at that night.
