nvj811 Posted January 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We are sailing on the Star in April, departing the day before Easter with 2 families and 4 kids. Does anyone know if they sell pre-made Easter baskets on board? Or any other suggestions as we are traveling from California and don't really want to lug them all that way. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted January 16, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We have sailed over Easter before, but never seen anything like that for sail onboard. I would either make a stop at the port, or figure a way to pack them in your luggage. Otherwise, your littles ones are going to be very disappointed that the Easter Bunny couldn't swim. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Scotia Posted January 16, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We went at Easter last year and didn't see any either. Perhaps the Easter Bunny could pack up the goodies in a plastic sand pail and shovel. You could probably pick one up near the port at a small store. One purchase, two uses.

carmel Posted January 16, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We sailed over Easter last year (RCCL, not Princess). I couldn't figure out how to pack two baskets. Then I came up with the idea of gift bags. You can find some adorable ones for Easter. I also packed some Easter grass and some things to put in them. On Easter, I conveniently forgot my camera in the cabin and HAD to go back while hubby and the girls sat down to lunch. I raced back to the cabin and made up the 'baskets'. I also trailed some jelly beans from the door to the bed (yeah, all 5 feet, LOL). When we got back to the room after lunch, my girls went nuts! They kept saying they didn't know the Easter Bunny could swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvj811 Posted January 17, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks to everyone for the quick replies and for the great suggestions!! I will skip the actual baskets, but do something else for them to enjoy. Thanks again! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath816 Posted January 17, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2007 nvj811, We're also sailing on the 4/7 Star voyage. My two DSis's, DBILs & 2 DNs are also on board. We have a roll call going. Come over and join in. We've done this cruise before and the Easter Bunny came VERY early in the morning before we left. OR maybe the EB can come to your house early as he finds out (somehow - like a letter?) that you'll be away . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo70 Posted January 17, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 17, 2007 No baskets on board to buy, but there will be an incredible display of large chocolate statues, eggs, etc. by the stair case for most of the cruise. It will make great pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimomiller Posted January 17, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 17, 2007 We sailed The Norway on Easter break in 2003, 5 weeks before she had the boiler explosion. When we embarked there was a crew member in a head to toe Bunny suit passing out easter baskets to the kids. Very nice touch and a cute memory.

Bexartex Posted January 17, 2007 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2007 This board has the most antiquated technology. I post once and it produces the same message 4 times....probably will again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if they sell pre-made Easter baskets on board? Or any other suggestions as we are traveling from California and don't really want to lug them all that way. Thanks! :) Last April we were on the Dawn during Easter. The head chef and assistants put on a display of over 20 huge decorated chocolate Easter eggs plus hundreds of little eggs in the Atrium. After the photo ops around noon time, the display disappeared about mid afternoon. I assumed that they were given to the children on board.
