Getting married on a Cruise ship.?

Question

I want to get married on a cruise ship in the carribean in either October/November. Does anyone know of any good ships or locations that would be best. Also, if anyone knows anything about cruises, what are the options and activities that happen. I am also looking for a price estimate on pretty much everything. I appreciate any help I could get.

Answer 1

There is a fee for a marriage ceremony on a cruise ship. Not all ships have a wedding chapel. Contact the cruise line to find out which ships have this option and pricing.

Answer 2

O! It would be awesome!  I often read www.123cruises.blogspot.com and www.vacation-planning.blogspot.com, although I'm not having a wedding on a cruise, but that blog gives me a tightful readings to plan on my next vacation and ideas and tips too!  Why not check  it out, you might by lucky not to browse too far on the internet. Good Luck! Happy Marriage!

Answer 3

We've booked many cruises on www.cruisesonly.com. You can get married by the captain while cruising. There are tons of excursions at each stop. I would recommend the Caribbean. You can take anywhere from a 3 night to a seven night cruise.

I think it's a great idea for a wedding!

Answer 4

the ship Carnival Legned you could get married on because a girl in a wedding dress.

Answer 5

only one cruise line can actually marry you at sea.  All others you must get married in port.  

there are too many activites to list here - everything from gambling to shows to shopping.  

the price depends on what line, what cabin and time of year so your questions are too vague to answer

Answer 6

Take Royal Caribbean - they're the best - hands down - beware however that Oct/Nov is the beginning of hurricane season and that would be no fun at all!!

Answer 7

First, I would suggest Princess or Celebrity cruise lines as they have very good ships, food and service.  They cater to a more reserved crowd of people and have very classy service.

Several cruise lines offer weddings on ship and its probably best to contact the cruise line directly to get first hand information and prices.  Many ships do have a wedding chapel, but not all.  There is a fee for the wedding that may be about $500.  I do know that all passengers who are guest must pay the normal cruise fare.  Since ship give the best prices for their cruises for early booking you should definitely begin bookings now.

Here's what Royal Caribbean had on its site:  

" While a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation is a wonderful way to spend your honeymoon, we don't offer any special prices to honeymooners at this time. We do offer a variety of packages for wedding ceremonies and receptions. "

Here's a link to Princess's page on weddings on ship:  http://www.princess.com/learn/onboard/se...

This page has a phone number to call for wedding information.

Here's a link to weddings on Celebrity cruise line: http://www.celebritycruises.com/search/p...

This page also has a phone number to call for information.

Answer 8

My husband and I just got married through Princess in February.  We opted for Princess because of my previous experience with the cruise line and because of their good reputation.  We sailed on the Emerald Princess and got married on a beach in St. Lucia (which is one of the most beautiful islands).

We thought about getting married on the cruise ship, but it would be easier to go back to an island for an anniversary (as opposed to a specific ship).....just a thought to consider.

I was disappointed with so many of the things that Princess did (and did not do) on this past cruise, that I will be hesitant to sail with them again at this point.  Our wedding was perfect, but Princess did not even handle our wedding...."The Wedding Experience" did everything.

I have never had major complaints about a cruise line before (and I have taken many), so I might consider another cruise line if I were you.  I have friends who got married through Carnival and loved everything about the experience.

Best wishes!
