Oooo fun idea!

Those are gorgeous!

OOoo nice. Thank you for this info!

That's a really practical way of thinking of it Thanks for the stats!

Lol. That's funny how you're going to Liberty and also comparing Royal. I hope you find all the info you need that'll help you plan out the best route for you Yeah, my GF's cruise wedding took place in October and she definitely missed the island twice. lol. Hurricane season so we skipped the island once for the captain to say we'll be back to it and when we did, we couldn't dock bec. the waves were too rough and there were other ships trying to do so. She still got married in the end at the last port so I experienced first hand the worse comes to worse situation. lol. But we're getting married in March so that wouldn't be too much of an issue *crossing fingers* hahah Thank you about the location. We initially wanted Lindquist beach w/ the pictures we saw via Island Bliss Wedding's Shutterfly account http://www.islandblissweddings.com/photo.html hehe But Janelle advised that since we're getting there on a Tuesday, that's when a lot of cruise lines usually come in the island so she said that a private ceremony wouldn't be quite as possbile. But after some researching, we figured Secret Harbor since from their blog, they said that they can clear an area for you. Lol. That just made me search their blog again and saw recent pictures of the place http://islandblissweddings.blogspot.com/search?q=secret+harbor Yes on the reception. VERY simple luncheon to thank everyone since we'll be having a reception back home. My friends said they don't care about the lunch really since there'll be the free dinner at the cruise, but my mother insisted lol. Oh and we also chose this location since Sunset Grille is just walks away from the ceremony location! Good luck on planning your wedding! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to help out! You sound like you're on the right track thus far

These looks great!

LOL. Just read your other post. I went ahead and copied your last entry there and decided to address it here in case you wanted to ask any questions that I can help with. Sounds like planning is going well! I too, am looking at using Island Bliss as Janelle really seems like the best! How did you guys choose what ship to go on? I have cruised 10 times and love cruising but also want a nice ship yet reasonable for my guests! Wishing you all happy planning and thank you for sharing! The cruise board is a little quiet! As far as Island Bliss, I highly recommned them. Janelle responds quickly and is very knowledgeable and can advise you w/ the best options for your wedding planning. We chose the ship because it was the cheapest fair we could find and the date was timed right to not collide w/ other weddings we were invited to next year We've only cruised once and it was for my friend's wedding last October w/ Carnival as well and we thought it was a fun experience overall. hah That's how we got the idea to also do a cruise wedding! heheh We were actually wanting to try out Royal Caribbean, but prices were a bit high and heard it was more for older folks so Carnival worked right for us

Lol. No worries, thank you! I believe we'll bein Carnival Liberty We're using a wedding planner on the island since using the one the cruise is MUCH much more exepensive. How are things going w/ your planning? Where are you planning on getting married? Overall, we're pretty good to go, but just need to take care of minor details like decor etc.

Great point and idea!

Gorgeous!

LOL. I'm glad you at least bought the dress YOU loved! hehehe. Glad it's all done and over with!

Hi hi, I posted this in the Newbies Thread, but I thought I'd also post here since it's related to cruising or pre crusing. was just wondering if anyone has any hotel suggestions for hotels in Miami, FL? It'll be for oure our cruise March next year Some of us are getting there about 3 days before boarding and wanted to see the best option. I was adviced to look into hotels that can shuttle us on port and also possibly pick us up at the airport. So far, our TA recommended Days Inn, Hampton Inn, Best Western & Hilton that can provide shuttles. I just wanted to get folk's feedback w/ personal experience or if you've already booked your hotel, which one did you choose? Thank you!!

LOL! That's for sure. Even when it comes to picking out dresses, there's still some approval and compromises to make somehow haha. But, it's what you make of it in the end hehe How did your reception back home turn out btw? It's like planning 2 weddings! LOL

I'm glad you found a happy medium!!! Best wishes!!

Gorgeous photos and you look stunning!
