I'm so giddy!!!

[momtoabowhead]

Okay, so I'm a second time cruiser, but still a newb. I just placed an order for a 'Bon 'Voyage' cake and a t-shirt for SO to be in our cabin at embarkation. He has never cruised, and neither has DD. I wish they had a shirt in her size, too. Im sure most consider this a waste of money, but I want their first cruise experience to be perfect in every way.

 

Has anyone else done something like this? I'm all about the small stuff that makes life extra special. Hoping the cake tastes amazing, too!!!

 

48 days to go!!!!

Sounds great to me. I just order flowers for my wife for our cruise in 44 days.

[Janet Foster]

My husband always orders flowers, chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne... all waiting for us when we arrive.

 

When my daughter went on her honeymoon I ordered Honeymoon decorations, a cake and TShirts... They were on Carnival.. said the cake was great!!!

[momtoabowhead]

I'm considering ordering flowers for myself. LOL. SO is cruise illiterate, he wouldn't even know it was an option. although, it's a short cruise, so I will probably hold off. I wouldn't get to enjoy them long enough.

Good to know! I need to give SO some lessons in cruising so he can take over the romantic department. LOL.

We have done this to surprise family members. I think what you did is wonderful.

[tubasteve]

Give him some time, its our 3rd cruise together and I am just wising up :D LOL

 

I am going to order a flower arrangement, champagne, cheese&crackers/fruit tray, chocolate dipped strawberries and a coffee card for our upcoming Alaska cruise. I think the wife will be very pleasantly surprised :p

[Lucille Bluth]

I think that is a great idea! Have a wonderful cruise!

I am a first time cruiser, I did not know that you could do this. Depending on the prices I might surprise my hubby. We are cruising on Carnival Valor, where on the website would I go to look at the selection and pricing?

The first moment you are on your Cruise Boat its great and you cannot wait for the next thing to catch your eyes

just go to carnival and search in managing my cruise

[Krazy Kruizers]

Since it is a short cruise -- I love the cake idea.
