So it’s that time of the year again when the shops are full of love hearts and chocolates and we are being reminded to show our loved ones that we still adore them and must shower them with gifts of love. Now if you are on a cruise ship on the 14th February then don’t think your luck is in and you’ve dodged the big day because you can still be the number one cupid even at sea. I think cruising can be quite romantic anyway breakfast served on your balcony, movies under the stars, dancing in the ballrooms and every day waking up in a new destination. To make the day extra romantic and impress your loved one and best of all earn extra brownie points then you can add on packages to your cruise to make the valentines special.
For example if sailing with NCL they offer the Romance package which includes sparkling wine and strawberries, a traditional spa pedicure and manicure, two twenty five minute half body massage and tea service in your stateroom. For those of you who are lucky enough to be sailing with Fred Olsens then you are in for a real treat as they have pulled out all the stops by offering a mood of romance on board this coming Valentine’s Day. Whilst at sea, guests will be able to enjoy the atmosphere of St. Valentine’s Day; the bars and restaurants will be decorated in St. Valentine’s-themed decorations – such as red and white balloons. There will be a St. Valentine’s-themed quiz held during the day, and the flavour of this theme continues during the ‘Show Time’ in the evening. There will be heart-shaped cakes, pastries and chocolate delights served at the St. Valentine’s Grand Tea Dance during the afternoon. Special St. Valentine’s cocktails will be available, and the St. Valentine’s formal dinner in the evening will carry a ‘Hint of Red’ dress code.
