ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

[bridetobe1515]

I don't know, but I've heard about this and I would really love to know if they do it. I think you need to hire a videographer though?! Not sure.

Are any of your guests freaking out about this whole Mexico drug war thing? we are so far away I keep telling them to calm down, but they just don't get it since they have never been there before =(

i just tell them that it's more directly at the border and cities that are mentioned...the riviera maya area is very safe.

Ok, just heard from Julie...unfortunately, non resort guests are NOT covered by the package. we have to pay for them. That sucks!! i'm seriously pissed. this whole time, i thought the package would cover them. it is $100 per non resort guest for us.

 

we are considering just going with a cheaper package and do a la carte but that means we might get $300 vendor fee instead $100 if we sign a new contract. booo.

 

over

I thought I read somewhere that they do have a live webcam and the cost is $300. It just wouldn't be the Royal without the upcharge!

are you sure it would be that much? I think you have Luxury package, so that would 60 for food + 20 for champagne. Are you getting extra hours tacked on? Still even 80 is a lot...crappy. My brother and his partner are staying at the Westin (grr).

yup, $20 for cocktail hour, $60 for reception then extra hour which is $20 = $100. that's for the luxury package. no bueno. She did say that 0-5 year olds are free and 6-12 year olds are half price so that's good, i guess.

I'm sorry Lady DI, I totally feel your pain. We have 15 people staying at time shares so we are going to have to pay for them for the ceremony and cocktail hour but than its only $30 pp, $100!!! that is crazy $400 for your 4 guests. I would still act like thats not what they told you when you get there and see what happens. I mean 4 people, there has to be some way to sneak them by heheheh

haha, i wish...i hear that security guards there are hawks so that probably won't happen. i think we may get more people coming but they are not staying at the resort. my FI's aunt is bringing her sister/brother to the wedding. my godmother might bring more people. they are staying off resort. it looks like we would have to draw a line and tell them that they only can bring one person per person. we just can't afford $100 for every non resort guest. i think our guests think it's free for us and that we don't have to pay anything since the wedding is at all inclusive resort.

god forbid we pay $100 for 10 or more people.
