Thanks all for the responses. Will definitely be getting travel insurance now.

My original idea was an amazing race/scavenger hunt type of proposal too. But I ultimately decided during the cruise because both our parents will be there, and I think she will like it very much for her parents to be there.

Yeah the only doubt in my mind was whether or not to do it on her birthday. Hearing you express the same concern makes me think it might be better to plan something earlier in the trip like when we're in Rome or Sicily.

Personally, I'd never want to be proposed to on a birthday or any other occasion. I'd want it to be its own special occasion...and never in public. But, some people would disagree with me. Since I don't know you, you really have to decide first if private or public. If private, why not do it in a beautiful place you are visiting in Italy. Wait, that could mean very public...but super romantic too. It sure would make for a special to revisit over the years!

 

My husband proposed to me by sending me on a sort of scavenger hunt to places we went while dating giving me clues in short poems/riddles for the next place, collecting a single rose at each, then the final location was where we first met and where I had gathered a total of a dozen roses and was proposed to. My family, friends, and daughter were each part of the process making it very special.

 

I hope yours turns out exactly how the two of you expect!

Thank you all for the info and suggestions!

Hi all, for my upcoming Princess Cruise I bought it through the UK (in the past I bought through US but I now live in the UK). When filling out the online passenger check-in information just now it says that as part of the UK passenger contract that it is mandatory to have travel insurance.

In the past, I've never been asked for it. Is it really necessary to have? And at the port when you check in to board, has any UK passengers ever been asked for confirmation of their health insurance? My credit card provides some coverage, but not as high/premium a coverage as the passenger contract is asking for.

Hi all, my girlfriend and I (and our parents) will be going on a cruise in July on the Royal Princess from Rome to Athens. The day at sea just so happens to be her birthday and I am thinking of proposing on that day. Does anyone know who I should reach out to in order to arrange something? Would it be the cruise director that I should speak with? If so, is it possible to contact him or her before boarding the ship?

Also, if anyone has any proposal ideas or location suggestions I'm all ears. I was thinking that the SeaWalk may be nice and to hire a Princess photographer to be on hand.

Thank you all for your help and ideas in advance.
