      We were considering doing a vow renewal but we also have kids... would they have activities for them to do while the grown ups do their thing? And we could enjoy our honeymoon...

    I got married on the freedom of the sea out cape carnival in 2011. My guest came on and off . No one traveled with us , and we had our honeymoon to ourselves . It was the best thing we could have done !!

    • @GriffandAlyssa
      @GriffandAlyssa  Před 5 lety +1

      Oh that is the way to do it! We don't get to see our family very often, so we used it as a huge weeklong family celebration... We were definitely in need of that alone time after the week was over though! lol

    Omg I had no idea you guys got married on a cruise. My fabulous husband and I got married on Carnival Sensation way back in 2000. It was the most perfect day/week. Everything was taken care of with our preferences kept in mind. I cannot recommend this option enough.

    Great video. My fiancé and I have been going back and forth about a cruise wedding. All your pros are spot on and we thought about them all especially $$$$$$$$$$$$ part. The cons are not even that bad. Thanks again for the information.

    @jovidnineteen Před 5 lety +3

    My, now ex wife and I, did the best of both worlds, we got married in port Canaveral, right on the beach, from a small local planner. Then an hour and half later we were on our carnival cruise line on our way to our Bahamas!

    thank you so much for sharing! just started planning our big day and I definitely did not think about the ship skipping the dock for poor weather. extra thank you for that!! what planning company did you use? I just really want everyone to be entertained and to have a really good time not a cookie cutter wedding.

    @HappilyOnTheMove Před 5 lety +5

    Me and my fiancé are getting married in South Beach Miami on 8/24/20 that morning and then getting on Navigator of the seas for a 4 day cruise, I’m so worried and excited! The officiant we found to marry us also provides a photographer for $350, and then we are going to purchase a photographer package once on the boat. Not sure why I didn’t think of this at first

    We got married in Grand Cayman on the beach through a 3rd party. It was everything I could have asked for and more. We just showed up and everything was taken care of. We had a party when we returned. It was just us and 2 friends to stand with us.

      Haha we do not mind at all!! And yes, it was so wonderful! It was interesting getting married on Day 4 of the cruise, with only 3 days left to consider that our honeymoon... but we wouldn't have changed it for anything! :) *Congrats by the way!

      Hi there. I just got engaged 2/14/19 & I'm looking to get married on a cruise 6/2020. What I'm trying to figure out is how much time are you on the ship for your ceremony & reception before your non sailing guests leave? It seems like it's not very long?..... Thanks in advance!

      I planned our entire wedding. But I did hire a day of on-site coordinator that I found by googling day of wedding coordinators in St. Thomas. :)

    Im getting married in November 11th in Boston on Norwegian Pearl going to Bermuda im not happy that my best friend and maid of honor can’t go because she is not vaccinated sucks they haven’t changed the policy yet. 10 guest maximum unless I pay for the reception which I decided was not worth it since it’s only an hour and we can get all the same perks while cruising.

  • @uyennithepooh

    • @GriffandAlyssa
      @GriffandAlyssa  Před 5 lety +1

      I planned everything myself. The only person I hired was an on-site coordinator from a wedding planning service in St. Thomas and I believe it was about $300 for the day.

    Our Jewish son is marrying a Catholic girl, We (neither side) likes the Unitarian, vanilla version so as both sides have WWII veterans, we thought that a cruise to be more meaningful We aren't into your dding the following day? Could our stand their honeymoon with us??? Could we bring our own music (recorded)? If you have a wedding on a cruise in international waters, what country are you married in? Can you have a wedding on one of those cruises to nowhere? If you or anybody reads these questions, please, comment,

      Desire it to be 2.0-2.5 hours, but is only 1.0 hour, or at max under 1.5 hours!!! so is expensive, but to the point and very nice all the same!

    hey !we get married this may coming up but a little upset with the package i chose because its technically 4,000 for a venue (at a time we don't want) beach wedding with no decor, efficient and a cake. Everything else is extra food, photos, drinks. Did you have a reception? so expensive :(

    • @GriffandAlyssa
      @GriffandAlyssa  Před 5 lety +2

      That is one reason we didn't book our wedding through the cruise line. We had a cake and cocktail reception on the island immediately after the ceremony but we made reservations for dinner at one of the restaurants on board so we could eat together.
