Many brides and grooms would rather have a wedding cruise than a church wedding. The wedding/honeymoon package is currently offered by most Caribbean cruise lines. In addition to the excitement of the ceremony, the bride and groom get to choose from many exciting and exotic destinations for their wedding.
By far the most popular and talked about cruise package is offered by the Disney Cruise Line. If you would like a wedding on the ship, you have your choice of beautiful ball rooms or possibly on the ship's deck. The party usually begins with the wedding with the reception following to include the cake cutting, champaign and festivities. The costs for this is about $1900.
You also have other options with the Disney Wedding cruise package. What would you think about getting married on a remote, secluded Bahamas Island, Disney's own Castaway Cay. If you are interested in this package, in the true flavor of romance, the bride will be taken to the island prior to anyone else. The groom follows with the wedding being held on the Castaway Cay. After the wedding the reception is held on the ship. In actuality the legal ceremony occurs prior to the bridal couple boarding the ship.
Now depending on what you choose from a large list of amenities and the total number of your guests, Carnival cruises offer many cost alternatives. For just the bride and groom, a wedding held in the port of Nassau in the Bahamas costs about $1150. Would you like to extend the party on board? Carnival also offers a "Welcome Aboard" addition raising the price to $1600. For a Deluxe Romance package, the price is over $1800. Now if your guest list grows, so does your bill! For an additional 50 guests, add $100.
You may be wondering what is in the "Welcome Aboard Package"? Included is a 1 hour reception, hors d'oeuvres, wedding cake and sparkling wine. Don't forget the photographer! He's also supplied with the package. As you can see, the Deluxe Romance Package wedding cruise offered by Carnival has a lot to offer.
The Carnival wedding cruises vary. For instance, the Carnival Valor, a ship, is theme based on the heroes of art, history, and literature. A special feature of the ship is the disco with video walls. Only their cruises in the Eastern Caribbean go to the Bahamas.
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines also offers cruises but as a warning,verify that the particular cruise you are interested in offers the wedding package. Royal Caribbean Cruise lines require their ships must be in the Bahamas waters 24 hours prior to docking at the Nassau port prior to the ceremony. Pricing for the different Royal Caribbean Cruise packages vary from $1600 to $2000.
Truthfully, of all the awesome honeymoon/wedding packages, Royal Caribbean is tops! What is unique is the wedding ceremony actually takes place on the island. What makes it really convenient is all the arrangements can be made through the ship's wedding coordinator.
It is important to think of the honeymoon part of the wedding cruise as well. When considering a wedding cruise, consider carefully the atmosphere, the vistas and wonderful experiences that can be enjoyed. Really, there are numerous wedding cruises in the Bahama Islands available. Be sure to take the time to evaluate your needs, by choosing carefully, you will make your wedding truly memorable.
