Birthday Celebrations on Cruise?

[ennazus]

Two people in our family of 4 will be celebrating a birthday while on the cruise! What can DCL do for the celebration? Do we need to notify them ahead of time?

I've thought of a few ideas to help celebrate it. Ginger suggested a birthday sign to hang on the stateroom door & I love that idea! I think I have a sign & if I don't, I'm sure I can get one at the dollar store.

I'm also planning on bringing some balloons as they won't take up much space. and some tape to hang them up with.

Will DCL give the BD folks a BD pin? If so, how do we get this?
How about a cake?

Have you celebrated a BD on the cruise? What else did you do to make the day special?

The BD folks in our party are turning 8 years old and 20 years old.

Hi ennazus,

We just got back from the 4/6 - 4/13 Magic where my wife celebrated her birthday. I let our head waiter know early in the week. At dinner on her birthday they brought her a wonderful cake (rich chocolate and huge), a birthday pin, and about 10-12 waitstaff sang to her. Very nicely done.

The head server will bring a cake to your dinner table. Several servers and assistant servers will sing to you. They should know because they obtain the birthdays when you do your reservation - but doesn't hurt to mention it to your head server.

Thanks for the input. We have a Birthday cruiser too, but he cannot eat cake and he does not like the public display. Any suggestions?
