Gaaah! Sorry for the delay in posting - we got back, and reality kicked in, back to work, and all that. Here's some pics of our wedding...

Disclaimer: cake topper is one we provided (bought on Amazon). Blue rhinestone ribbon we bought online too. The stock Carnival topper is kindof 'meh'. Stuff given to wedding coordinator when boarding and the catering staff worked their magic.

Will find more pics, still going though hundreds of pictures... :)

Have to add - we had a great time. The Wedding Experience staff were wonderful (they did hustle everything along, but in a very gentle way, but that is their job I suppose...).

From a venue/crew/wedding coordinator perspective, it was flawless. Everything went very smoothly. The OMG, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moments we had - and fixed (and there were a couple) were entirely of our own making :)

We're just back from our Carnival Paradise wedding. It was awesome! We were very happy with the whole experience and are very pleased that this is the way we decided to get married. Having all of our friends and family on the cruise with us was so much fun. We got married in the Normandie Lounge and had the reception in the Rex Disco. Everyone was brought to tears by the bride's grand entrance down the staircase. The reception food was magnificent and the cake was delicious. We spent a lot more on photographs than we had planned, but the coffee table book was spectacular! We will post more details and pictures later. Let us know if you have any questions. Erik and Karen :)

A call to CCL's wedding department answered that question, and they confirmed that the original price options were still valid - here's a link to that document, as it isn't on CCL's site publicly.

Given that they're showing very different pricing on their site, I'd strongly encourage anyone getting hitched on Carnival to confirm price options - in writing - beforehand.

Does anyone know what CCL's current wedding photo package price list is?

We're getting married this Saturday (yikes!) on the Paradise in Tampa.

When we booked, Carnival Wedding Photography still had their prices listed on a colorful page on CCL's website listing packages of $499, $749, $999, $1499, $1999 and up to $2999.

That page is now gone (But I have a copy) and has been replaced on this page by the line Photography service at ceremony and reception**

**Photographer and editing included, photographs sold separately. Packages from just $1,195.

Can anyone confirm that they have changed their photography pricing that drastically? And does anyone know what the 'new' $1195 intro package gets you?

That's a huge jump in starting price. We had budgeted for the $999 package, just as well I checked this as it could have led to an unpleasant surprise on the day. I'm also surprised they're not listing the new packages with any greater detail.

Thanks in advance for any info!

I would love a copy of the template too! I really loved it.
