A ‘cruising since (year of marriage)’ magnet for their stateroom door. My parents have one and bring it on every trip.
How about a cruise that you’re going on with them?

This is the answer right here 
We asked our kids for a gift towards our drink package for the next cruise. I don’t think they heard me.
What about booking them an excursion for their upcoming cruise on Viator or Shore Excursions Group? Or, if you’re not sure what they’d like, pick out a couple of options and let them choose. You could print out the descriptions and wrap them up!
How’s their luggage? Do they need an upgrade?
If they have a favorite cruise line, you could buy them a gift certificate for that line, one that can be used for anything—excursions, the casino, and more.
A heated blanket for the balcony or deck if they cruise in cooler weather.
Blow-up chairs or a loveseat, and a foot pump if they don’t already have one. I find most loungers uncomfortable. You could check out something like this https://www.amazon.ca/Inflatable-FOME-Recliner-Creative-Backyard/dp/B07W929D4C. If either of your parents is on the bigger side, check the weight limit and width. This could be a better gift if they drive to the cruise port.

humanA cruise or a gift card for their favorite cruise line would be a great idea!
We just gave my parents a $5k cruise gift certificate for a Viking cruise. It’s their Christmas gift this year.
You could just get them another cruise.
