Do you HAVE to book your ceremony through the Cruise ship?

We are getting legally married in Jamaica and the cost is all wrapped into the package price and not anymore than getting married in here. The only requirement we have is to send our passports and birth certificates a few months ahead of time. You can easily get legally married in a bunch of places while on a cruise. Just be careful because others are a bit stickier.

Reallyhuh.gif My paperwork (Dreams Tulum,Mayan riviera) was completely free, I just paid 150$ for the blood test (I know, sounds weird / scary but it was so simple and easy).

But back on the topic, I attended a cruise wedding, the ceremony was at Magen's Bay, St-Thomas and it was beautiful! I think we all paid our own taxi to get to the ceremony. There are always a ton of taxis next to the port.

Oh its nothing to do with cost. For the actual Bahamas you have to be there 24 hours prior to. I think I'm paying $277 for ours in Bermuda, however we have to have things published in the local paper there and other stuff thats weird. We're still saving a ton of money vs getting married here at home.

I'm a cruise bride using TWE and would highly recomend for you to use an outside vendor. It will be less expensive, trust me. For us it is too late because we booked it before we realized we had other options but I really wish that we would have went outside.

Hi! I thought I would let you know that I just officiated a wedding last night here at the Sheraton Cable Beach in Nassau, for my clients, who arrived via RCCL cruise ship.

 

They booked the wedding directly through the property's WC (her name is Sharri, and she's great). She had great coordination with RCCL, including the bridal party and guest pickup from the ship, and return. The wedding was on the beach, with a steel band playing. They had a champagne toast on the beach, and then went back immediately to the ship, where they had a private party room from 8 till 11.

 

The beach was beautiful, but, the resort areas all have beautiful beaches in Nassau, and the Bahamas cruises are perfect 3-4 day cruises out of Ft. Laud/Miami.

 

Good luck!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
