Marriage Proposal

Well the weather has warmed up a little bit, but it was still quite cold early this morning. Just after the morning travel talk one of our passengers approached me and said he wanted to propose to his girlfriend at one of the activities. To my surprise, with the help of the ships security he had managed to get a balloon bouquet onboard without her seeing it. Now I have seen many marriage proposals onboard, but this one was quite something and one that I will never forget. The helium filled balloon bouquet had been filled with rose petals and the ring was placed in one of them. At the end of the Trivia game in the Tropical Lounge in front of around 100 passengers, he proposed. He presented her with the balloon bouquet and proceeded to pop them one at time, showering her with rose petals. The final pop showered her with the rose petals and as she held out her hands to catch them a beautiful diamond ring fell into her hands. At that point her boyfriend got down on one knee and popped the question. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room, everyone was clapping and cheering and the answer was YES! YES! YES!…..
