We have talked a lot about weddings on land, so lets look at a wedding on a cruise ship! It could be so much fun getting married and inviting your closest friends and family — and then on top of that having a few days with them for celebrations! Many of the cruise lines offer weddings, but lets stick to one cruise line, Royal Caribbean.
Royal Caribbean offers 260 destinations, world wide all with its own unique back drop! Lets be honest here, if you like to chose from many options, this is the way to go! They have two options for your nuptials, you can wed on board before the cruise leaves the port or you can say “I DO” on board, while docked at an amazing port of call. Royal Caribbean will also allow non-cruising guests to come aboard for the ceremony and reception! If you chose to get married at sea, all captains or first officer can officiate your ceremony.
Here is a list of the Port-of-Call that is available for weddings:
- Bahamas

- Florida ( Ft. Lauderdale, Key West, Miami,
Port Canaveral, Tampa) - Grand Cayman
