We are doing a welcome boat cruise the day before our wedding with La Barcaza, I am really excited! I will post a review when we get back and let you know how it went. We actually initially considered doing our wedding on the boat, but I got too freaked out about it (getting there in my dress and stuff).

We are having our reception there next Tuesday and I can't wait! I will post a review when I get back. The wedding planner (Mayte) has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I kind of love her and I have never met her! We debated having the ceremony there and I kind of still think about it, but our ceremony was included with our wedding package so we decided to keep it at the hotel.

Wow, wow, wow! Your pictures are beautiful! Being a beautiful bride on a beautiful beach probably helps too! I am getting married that the Majestic Elegance in November and I can't wait. I am really glad to hear that you loved your hair (which looked awesome by the way) as that is something I have been concerned about. Did you also get your makeup done at the spa, or did you do it on your own? Whatever you did looked amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Caroline, Our wedding is coming up in November...I will be sure to post pics or email you when we get back. It is harder to find pics from the Elegance, I guess because it is newer. The chapel is too small for our group, so I think we are going the beach route. I can't wait, so excited....it's coming up fast! - Andrea Quote: Originally Posted by CnC I've now read *every* word on this thread! So much to learn and digest... I was wondering...it appears to me most of the ladies got married or will get married on the Colonial side; and a handful have chosen the Elegance side... I will be on the Elegance on May 14, 2010. I noted the following ladies are at the Elegance, any one else? @cforrer1 @andime85 @greg+kat @JohnsonBengel09 @soontobeMRSV Ladies above, would you mind sharing your pictures? Did anyone choose to get married at the Gazebo? or the Chapel? Please feel free to PM me or contact me at [email protected] Hope to hear from you!

Oh my goodness, this post makes me feel so much better. I think I actually had a minor panic attack the night after I bought my dress. I freaked out and had a totally different "vision" about the whole wedding. My poor bridesmaid took the brunt of it the next day, trying to make me feel better. I can't even talk to my fiance about it, he thinks I am ridiculous (even though he has never seen my dress and has no idea what it looks like). I try not to think about it now and try not to look at other dresses. I have to remind myself I did really, really LOVE my dress, and that a lot of the ones that I liked in mags when I was originally trying on dresses didn't actually suit me or look good on and that the one that I bought really does (I hope). Arg. Anyway, this post makes me feel slightly less crazy! Thanks ladies.

Wow Jody!!! Congratulations on your beautiful wedding! Thanks so much for posting the pictures - I am getting married at ME in November and was beginning to think I would never see pics of it!! I am really, really excited, it looked wonderful!

I emailed them twice and never got a response so you might have better luck with the phone.

I am so glad to hear that! I was really interested in this, but hadn't been able to find any reviews since 2007 so I was a little concerned!

I am getting married at the Majestic Elegance in November, also in a civil ceremony....now I am worried - is it really bad?!
