On our 1st cruise, I never told my husband. He thought we were just going to Florida.

Sorry to be a downer, but Stumper may be right. There are several companies out there that offer free or real cheap cruises. It turns out to be a very bad deal, so please do check out what you just purchased. If this is not the case, then I would print a picture of the ship from the internet and then put it on his pillow before he goes to bed.

Fill your tub with water and put a toy boat with the tickets in the tub.

well, it depends on the communication in your marriage. If you made a major purchase without consulting him, how do you think he will react. Did you use your money, his money, or your joint account. This might make him happy or upset.

Now, you say it was a promotional offer. If this was over the phone you might have a lot of expenses not covered like port fees and taxes, in some instances this can be hundreds of dollars more. I hope not for your sake but be sure, you might be able to cancel the purchase if its not too late.

If it is too late or a legitimate cruise (no timeshare spiel) you may have to tell him on your knees.

Take him out to dinner…buy a little toy boat, first…and give it to the waitperson to put on his dinner or dessert.
