Default Bon Voyage Gift Baskets

When we used to cruise a few years ago, we used to have custom gift baskets delivered to our cabins (wine, candy, fruit, toys and books for the kids). We were even able to get six packs of a favorite soda that isn't available on the ships delivered. Since we were usually traveling by air and a long distance, it was nice to know that we'd have things waiting in our cabin. We just booked Explorer out of Bayonne, and I tried to contact the company that I used to use for bon voyage gifts. It appears to be gone....so now I'm trying to find out if bon voyage gift companies are still around. If so, who would you recommend?

I know that I can preorder some things from RCL, and are able to carry stuff on board too. I'm looking for third party bon-voyage gift vendors that can deliver to the ships (if there are any).

RCCL no longer allows this......that one basket company went under a couple years ago....right around the time RCCL stopped allowing the delivery thereof.

Most of those gift basket companies in the Miami/FLL area are now gone.

NCL has there own different Bon Voyage Gifts that you can purchase ahead of time to have in your room if you were cruising with them.

Sorry

Unfortunately, the gift items you can order from the line (any line) for say, $50, looks like something that you could have picked up for $4.99 at Wal-mart.
