Tplanav1 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 So I have decided I want to propose to my girlfriend on our first cruise this month. Does anyone have any advice for places to do it, ways to approach it with RC etc? I’m sailing on Adventure of the Seas on Nov.25th. I went and ordered the ring today and have been playing around with ideas. So far I’ve come up with the MDR on the first formal night, but I’m not 100% on the idea. If anyone else has done a proposal on the ship I’d love to hear how you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWofPerth Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 First of all, congratulations and good luck! Finding a quiet place on deck at sunset would be my suggestion. You get epic sunsets (and sunrises) out at sea, so if you're looking for a more intimate moment, that's what I would do. Possibly at the bow or stern somewhere. Again, good luck!! ellcee and Pamela27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWofPerth Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 On the other hand, if you want to make a big scene out of it, approach the Cruise Director and ask if he/she can set aside a few minutes of time in the theatre one night. Get him/her to call you and your gf up on stage, play dumb, and then when you're up there, get down on bended knee, etc. No harm in asking Bazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhageerah Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I have, I did not make huge deal out of it, she had no idea what was going on, but her kids knew something was coming! I waited until formal night and told the person that was taking our pictures what my intentions were and to please catch it on film, which she was more than happy to do. After she was done taking the pictures of all of us she gave me the nod and I got down on my knee and asked her to marry me. I liked it because it caught everything on film including her expression when she realized what was really going on. twangster, ellcee and KWofPerth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 If you wanted something big in front of an audience another idea could be to do it at some point during the Love and Marriage game show. It usually takes place in the main theatre and is run usually by the cruise director and his/her staff so if you contacted the cruise director ahead of time they might be able to get you onstage at some point. Good luck! Bazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianAlt Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 If you were willing to be part of one of those flash mobs, they sometimes do them on this ship. You can ask the CD staff if there will be one and you can ask for your proposal to be part of it. I've seen videos of others doing this.

Bazza Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Just hope your other half has not joined this blog!!! Good luck - and I hope she says yes!!! PS May be worth waiting until last night 'just in case'!!! PPS How about getting a waiter involved in the process and ring being 'delivered' under a silver cloche?

monctonguy Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Congrats...a cruise would be a great place to do it. I would probably wait till your aboard and take some time to look around and find a spot or place you like. Personally I wouldn't do it in front of a crowd or make a spectacle of it but that's me. But no matter what, big or small there will be options. Between asking the CD for some help or suggestions to the wait staff in the MDR or a specialty restaurants or just taking her out on the deck in the evening with a sunset etc and asking her. Adventure has a heli-pad on the front of the ship which would probably be the location I would think of. Would make for some great views and memories.

Boston Babe Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I think this is so awesome!! I think no matter what you end up doing, this will be such a memorable moment for both of you! Sunsets or Shows, I'm sure whatever you decide will be fantastic. And PLEASE post pics when you get back! I hope she doesn't look at this blog!
