Celebrate for free ??

Celebrating something special on board your cruise ? What can you expect to get ? Anything for free ?
I am actually really sad to say that just recently I have been so disappointed with the cruise lines and the fact that the really seem to give nothing away complimentary now for special occasions. To say that probably about 50% of customers that go on cruises go on to celebrate special anniversaries or birthday’s and probably the only thing you will get for free is a song and your desert with a candle in !!!

Don’t be disheartened though make sure you tell us about the options that are on offer after all if you have taken time to plan that special cruise it wont break the bank to add a celebration package on.
There are lots of extras on offer you can pre book a cake and personalise it to your occasion, get a mention on the cruise news, a bottle of sparkly , bouquet of flowers…..
If its your anniversary then you or your family can add a package
One bottle of Champagne in your cabin ,souvenir champagne glasses, Two long stemmed roses, A framed formal portrait, Chocolate-dipped strawberries delivered to your cabin on tour first evening and a box of chocolates. This package would cost you about $150.
When I really think about it the list goes on , You can also arrange a speciality dining venue ,a spa treatment. There is also packages for children so wether the are celebrating their birthday or an achievement.
If all else fails and you want to treat somebody but dont know what to prebook you can add some spending money to their account and they can decide for themselves.
The fact that you have to pay for these packages mean you can make more personal and tailor it to your needs.

Have you ever got anything for free ?
