How big is your group? I am doing a 1.5 hour reception with open bar and appetizers for 50 people onboard and it was actually quite affordable. I don't want the hassle of coordinating anything with a large group.

We are looking at less than 25 with everyone cruising together and the wedding is on the 5th day. If it were a bigger group, I would be leaning more towards the formal reception back on the boat, as well.

Hi everyone!

We’re closing in on the big day (7/20 - Carnival Pride) and The more I think about it the LESS I want to do the reception back on the boat.

All the guests are sailing so we’ll be with them the entire week and it’s a short port call (Freeport) so I honestly think the time would be better spent meeting up at a local seafood place for drinks then hitting the Lacayan market.

Has anyone done this ? Did it work out for or against?

FWIW - I’ve spoken to both my sisters and they didn’t expect a reception anyways.

Thanks in advance!

I am getting married in Freeport, Bahamas at the Grand Lucayan Resort on May 18, 2018 via the Carnival Pride. We have decided to do a full wedding in the Bahamas but I'm very nervous about obtaining a marriage license the day of with all of the stipulations placed on licensing. Plus, we have a very short timeframe for that particular port (7a-1p). I don't want to leave any room for error!

 

Has anyone gotten married on the island in Freeport that could give advice or share personal experiences on this topic?

 

Thanks in advance!

Heather

We're confirmed for Freeport on the Pride on 07/20/2015. We decided on Xanadu, however, for the seclusion factor.

Did you file your initial paperwork to start the process? I'm curious as well and am following this thread
