Wanting to make a 50th wedding celebration extra special on Majestic

[coconut telegraph]

Good evening, we are celebrating our parents 50th on an upcoming Alaska cruise in a couple of weeks and I wanted to ask for suggestions to make it extra special either through on board items or creative celebration items you have seen or brought on board.  It is our first Princess cruise so I am at a loss for what might be available on board or what to ask the wait staff for.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions and tips!

Congratulations on 50 years! 🍾
 

You can do a renewal of vows and she ship will make the moment very special. My parents’ 40th years ago was amazing with lots of surprises throughout their cruise.

If you all have an adventurous palate, go for the Chef's Table. Ask to make a reservation as soon as you get onboard. An alternative to this instead would be the Ultimate Balcony Dinner (highly weather dependent, of course). Or you could do both!

We just did our 50th Anniversary cruise and did the UBD.  Since the weather wasn't the best that night we did it in the stateroom.  It was wonderful and would do it again.

Gift them with one of the following:

1) dinner at the specialty restaurant of their choice

2) ultimate balcony dinner

3) chef’s table

4) couples massage

5) request the cruise director announce it on the Wake show

6) have them do the Marriage Match game show

OMG, NOOOOOOO.  We did this on our first Princess cruise not knowing anything about it.  We were so embarrassed (we had been married about 15 years at the time), but we did get a consolation prize of champagne, coasters, and sweet snacks delivered to our room.

Not to hijack this post, but does Princess do anything special other than birthday cake for birthdays?  I'm considering a cruise in 2024 that will coincide with my kids' 15th birthdays.

Not really.  Some people decorate cabin doors.  When the cake comes to dining table, the waiters will gather round and sing, unless you request No Thanks.

Balcony breakfast is also nice.

I wanted to book an Anniversary Celebration Package which I saw on the website but upon inquiring, was told it’s no longer offered. ? Does anyone have any information about this or has anyone ever done one?

i just ordered a cute door magnet for my folks.  they will be at 49 years this year, so i'm going to get a banner for the room and be cute and put a -1 under the 50, since no one makes happy 49th anniversary banners.  i am also bringing a crystal flower for my mom so she can have "flowers" on her anniversary and won't have to leave it on ship like live flowers.  so for me it is just a few small things that won't break the luggage.

I would go to a dollar store and buy a bunch of decorations and a roll of tape. When they are out of their cabin go over the top to decorate their cabin to make it impressive.

sometimes...I have gotten spa credit, a free drink, door signs (they no longer do ballons) & this last cruise flowers from the room steward...the onboard signs will wish them a happy birthday...you can order a birthday celebration package before sailing
