CatlinSTJ Posted June 28, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I went online to order decorations for my daughters' cabin and they no longer have the Bon Voyage room decorations listed. I called to find out what was going on and the lady I spoke to said that they had been sent an e-mail this morning telling them to stop selling them until further notice. She said they were out of stock but when I asked if they would be available again soon she hedged. I was really looking forward to surprising the kids for their first cruise, this is disappointing. :( They'll have a blast, I know it, but I was really looking forward to that total "Mommy Moment", you know?

babyblue78 Posted June 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I still see them on the Bon Voyage site... Under the Special Occasions tab. :) http://www.carnival.com/BonVoyage/Default.aspx?cat=Special+Occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted June 29, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2011 You can always order the "congratulations" decorations, if the bon voyage ones are out of stock. Its the thought that counts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatlinSTJ Posted June 29, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I still see them on the Bon Voyage site... Under the Special Occasions tab. :) http://www.carnival.com/BonVoyage/Default.aspx?cat=Special+Occasions They have the others, just not the Bon Voyage ones. I'll keep checking until we cruise in a few days, hopefully it's not a permanent thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyblue78 Posted June 29, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Oh, I see... you meant the actual "Bon Voyage" theme, not just the decorations from Bon Voyage. Whoops! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semichigan Posted June 29, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Same thing happened to my sister in law...she's sailing this Saturday and wanted the Bon Voyage decorations for her sons' cabin...she called and was told they were out of stock :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platinum.wannabe Posted June 29, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Keep checking! I wanted to order them for a friend and they were out of stock the first time I checked but were re-stocked shortly after. How much time do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CascaisCruiser Posted June 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My sister spoke to Bon Voyage today to order them for our Spirit cruise next Tuesday. They didn't say anything about them being out of stock. I'll guess I'll have to her double check and make sure they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi1313 Posted June 29, 2011 #9 Share Posted June 29, 2011 if you order these decorations, is the cabin pre-decorated when you arrive or do you get the decorations in a box and have to hang them yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted June 29, 2011 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2011 if you order these decorations, is the cabin pre-decorated when you arrive or do you get the decorations in a box and have to hang them yourself? It is pre-decorated! You walk in the cabin, and there it is. The decorations really look great, and are well worth the money. We have done it several times, for several different occasions. If you do a search on this board, you can probably dig up some pictures. I would do it for you, but I don't know how! (computer handicapped!)

Sure enough Carnival called my sister back yesterday and said the Bon Voyage ones specifically were backordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprilivy Posted July 1, 2011 #13 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The casino decorated our cabin one sailing...we got two huge baskets of fruit with it, too! It was really a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8cruiser Posted July 1, 2011 #14 Share Posted July 1, 2011 can you do it yourself? I did that for 3 rooms on the Legend, saved some money and decorated with more personal themes....pirates, hippies, butterflies, over the hill...that kind of stuff....it took approximately 3 minutes per room.....I took the advise of some on here and got big fish to hang with all the kids photos making funny faces....Grandparents loved it! made them at home and brought them in a manilla folder in the carry on....

platinum.wannabe Posted July 6, 2011 #15 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Boo. A week later they're still not available online. :( What a bummer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatlinSTJ Posted July 6, 2011 Author #16 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've been checking every day too, guess it's just not happening :( I'm actually going to take the girls out to get a few things to decorate their door. Not quite the same as walking in and finding it already done, but they'll have a blast and knowing those two it'll be interesting. (They're almost 12 and 17.)

platinum.wannabe Posted July 12, 2011 #17 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Wow, and a week after that they're still out! I'm sure you guys are enjoying your cruise in spite of the lack of decorations, though. lol! I'm jealous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder315 Posted July 12, 2011 #18 Share Posted July 12, 2011 If the bon voyage decorations are back ordered, why don't you send them a dozen roses. It will put a smile on their faces very time they walk into the cabin. Here is a picture of the ones my kids sent us. Made the entire room smell wonderful.

MomofBoyz Posted July 12, 2011 #19 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Not sure of the ages of your kids for the "mommy moment" but we have replaced the cabin decorations with a computer made certificate that reads "Good For $35 On Board Credit". For our teenaged boys...that totally won the mommy moment! They were much more enthused and we spent the same amount. I know you are disappointed but a certificate made on the computer for an amount that you saved in the decorations can go a long way in arcades, coffee credits and other purchases. Just a consoling thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer-kraut Posted July 20, 2011 #24 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Go to the party store and get your own.... cheaper too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platinum.wannabe Posted July 20, 2011 #25 Share Posted July 20, 2011 But just not as much fun. IMO. :p lol! At this point I have absolutely no vested interest in this (I ordered BV decorations for friends who went on a May cruise and they loved them :D), I'm just curious to see how long they're unavailable and this thread is a good way to keep up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
