phabric Posted April 29, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2020 My agent knows that my cruise is to celebrate my birthday. On my Personalizer under Onboard Services, it shows Celebrations- birthday (celebrate onboard), complimentary gift. Is the complimentary gift, the sign and balloons on the cabin door or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schonert Posted April 29, 2020 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2020 And the cake with a candle on it. Really not much. That is what it said on mine when it was my birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Raider Posted April 29, 2020 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2020 2 minutes ago, voljeep said: no more balloons Correct ... maybe a sign on your door and a card in your room with instructions to give to the maitre'd or head waiter in the dining room the night of your chosing. Basically, you trade in that card to get a chocolate birthday cake ... oh, and a happy birthday song from the available crew. They are actually not bad and will wrap it up to take to your room if you don't finish it. Unless your TA is also giving you something special, which wouldn't show up on the personalizer anyway, the above description is about all you're going to get.

That is what it said on mine when it was my birthday. A piece of paper stating that you are entitled to a cake upon presentation. After the first cake, we now use the piece of paper as a coaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure your TA is not giving you 20 days of beverages and the unlimited internet because it is your birthday. I guess I should have clarified that. I have to laugh as this is what is listed under a cruise for which I am currently booked on ... notice how the complimentary gift came with a price tag of $685.10? This is part of the total cost under the booking and not complimentary at all.

Mibele Posted April 29, 2020 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2020 On our Panama Canal cruise in 2019, we celebrated both my father and sister's birthdays. The day after they redeemed their cake voucher, they both received a free dinner voucher (delivered to the cabins in the morning) at one of the fee based restaurant.

MCC retired Posted April 29, 2020 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2020 As stated , you should receive A sign on your door , perhaps a balloon , a card in your cabin to give to your waiter or maitre’d for a small cake and song at Dinner on night of your choice. Any actual TA gift such as wine , notification of OBC , etc. will be delivered to your as a different card . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare gotta cruise again Posted April 30, 2020 #14 Share Posted April 30, 2020 If you are sailing on a medallion ship, you no longer get the big cardboard sign attached to the door. They now just note your birthday on the medallion screen next to your door and only on the day you noted to celebrate it. We would always note the birthday early in the cruise so the sign would be there all cruise long, but no more with medallion cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisalta Posted April 30, 2020 #15 Share Posted April 30, 2020 You should ask your travel agent what the gift is. By the way in the Cruise Personaliser you can also note any events that you are celebrating. There is a menu for this. Princess actually responds with some free events that would normally have a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your cruise is anytime in 2020 I think that there is a very good chance that you'll never see your birthday gift unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first cake, we now use the piece of paper as a coaster. We tried that. Waaay too much food, so we try to skip the cake. They brought it anyway on 2 different cruises. BTW: we didn't fill out the Birthday thing in the Personalizer. Still got the cake. Edited April 30, 2020 by JF - retired RRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yerdua Posted April 30, 2020 #18 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) We were on the Sky for its TA this past fall and were celebrating both our anniversary and DH's b'day. Princess gave us a $50 certificate for the spa. I used it toward an acupuncture treatment to try to alleviate the knee pain from an injury I sustained on the way over to Spain. Didn't help.

CaribbeanJen Posted May 1, 2020 #19 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I turned 50 on the Regal last January. They gave me a $25 credit for onboard shops as a birthday gift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinsoncruiseso Posted May 3, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 3, 2020 When a gift is purchased for a passenger, either by the TA or a friend, etc, there is a choice to show or hide the gift. When the gift is delivered, there will be indication of who it is from. On the perks, such as beverage package, it will show the value of the package. The TA also has the ability to hide or show this item on the cruise personalizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Celebrations I put his name and to celebrate his birthday, his shows up under Onboard Services the same as my with a complimentary gift. I think we both will get the birthday greeting since we are on the new Discovery which is a medallion ship which will be on the mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
