need great gift idea 4 boyfriend - 1st cruise

[finally928]

I was hoping some of you would have the ultimate suggestion ... what to either bring aboard or have delivered for my boyfriend to celebrate our first cruise together!

 

I'm not sure if I should just get a premade gift from Carnival, or come up with something else.

 

What have you ever given someone that went over REALLY well -- or what have you ever gotten from someone that totally bowled you over??

 

Thanks for any suggestions! I am trying to do whatever I can to make this the absolute best vacation ever for him!

Is there an activity (like golf) that he really enjoys and is offered on the ship at cost? If so, you could buy him a package. Or you could get one of the Carnival gifts with a t-shirt and pop or beer or corona.

Buy yourself something from Victoria Secret....I'd wager he'd really like that...but then again, I'll wait and see what the men on this board think. ;)

Maybe they would prefer a golf package ????

Got the stuff from Victoria Secret ... ;)

 

Doesn't play golf ..

 

I guess I'm trying to find something tangible -- I already booked two excursions I know he'll absolutely love (mountain biking and kayaking) ... but he already knows about those (part of his birthday / christmas gifts) .

 

I'm trying to think of something I can present to him, or have in the room when we arrive ...

I guess it really depends on what he likes. You know best what he'd enjoy.

Hi when my husband took his first cruise with me I ordered the bon voyage room deco from carnival.They really dress up your room. My hubby was sooo happy to open the door and see all the decorations.

Just a thought.:)

There is a couple of ways you could go about this. Personally, I would prefer to give the gift ahead of time since you will be so overwhelmed the day your ship leaves. Something along the lines of a gift basket with an assortment of fun things for the cruise. Depending on your budget, things like a book, sunscreen, maybe a cd "walkman" or mp3 player. The other option, again depending on your budget, would be to buy him a really nice watch for formal night. That is something you could give him on the trip that he will keep forever.

Wow....such great ideas. Will you all help me with my Christmas list when the time rolls around? LOL

being a watch freak i really like that idea... and remember you can sometimes find some really good deals on watches while on board... i picked up the silver seiko daytona style watch i'm wearing right now on a cruise last year... here in town i saw the same watch for $200.00 more and at the seiko outlet in st. augustine, fl it was still almost $100.00 more... :cool:

Make a CD with some of his favorite music, or some of your special songs. I made a cruise CD for the people in our group and burned a label on it with the dates of the cruise and ports of calls. Makes a nice memento!
