Hey all! Quick question, what is everyone doing about a rehearsal dinner? With how our weddings being held the way they are a traditional rehearsal dinner is kind of out of the question.
We are doing a casual dinner the night before we board the ship at the Port.

I've heard people on CCL say they had a good experience with it, but traditionally, I've always enjoyed having the same waiter in the MDR. We are considering trying it in October.

It's the Florida Keys (I grew up in Miami), it can rain one minute and the next the sun is shining. We also get storms or even just weather not considered a storm and it rain for days. I'd keep an eye on the Weather Channel, but don't obsess about it. August in Florida is hot, you can probably rule out cold weather : )

I have read many positive reviews. I do think there is something to be said for the attitude with which anyone brings to their cruise impacting how they enjoy it. My next cruise will be the first one with a "check in" time. We were able to select our time online when doing our precruise online documents. I believe disembarking depends upon several things, including what time the ship arrives and clears customs. If you self carry your luggage (which I'm not into) apparently you can disembark first, I'be heard as early as 7:30am. If you haven't been to Pt. Canaveral before, you may like it. To me it is easier than some other ports we've sailed from. Good luck

Seems we have a few things in common! I'd love the name and contact info for your hair and make up person. A seated luncheon just seemed nicer for me, for our small group. You don't have long to go. Congratulations. I'd love to hear your report after your cruise.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a hair and makeup person at Pt. Canaveral?

First, you should do what ever it is that you want for YOUR wedding... flower girls and no ring bearer, or three "ring bearers" and no flower girl or like that link suggested a flower grandpa or a video I saw, a flower grandma! I just don't think I'll have any little girls, and I'm too old to have living grandparents, but I have 3 precious great nephews... I'm working on that, maybe have them carry a sign or signs. I've seen some really cute ones on Etsy!

My understanding is that if you don't have 20 people, since the minimum order is for 20, you pay for service for 20... even if you just have 10

My sister almost lost her ring in the water. Her husband put it in the mouth of a fish they just caught. You could also propose on the ship. My fiancé proposed in the main show room in front of more than 1,000 people. He did an amazing job. The Hotel Director helped him with his plans.

On our last cruise, Daddy was stopped at least 3 or 4 times every night and complimented on his attire... he loved it.

Cake, we upgraded to the 3 tier cake. It is a bit overkill for our wedding (52ish people total), but the 2 tier just wasnt that impressive. We also opted for it to be red velvet with the cream cheese filling.
I was thinking the same thing, and we may only have 21 people. I'm sure the small 2 tier would be plenty, but for looks, I'm thinking 3 tiers. It just looks nicer. And the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting is on our short list.

Have to say I enjoy it, but when sailing with my almost 93 year old Dad, every night is somewhat formal. He does a tux or dinner jacket on Formal nights, but always has a jacket for all other nights. Gotta keep up with Dad!

I love Carnival, and have sailed in the Grand and Ocean suites, never a Captain's suite. We were offered it once but it meant we wouldn't be with our other family members. I love it when you can get a nice deep balcony and connect it to your family in adjacent cabins. But I will say, I think NCL has 6 of the biggest suites going, with their Garden Villa's... they are insane... your own viewing deck on the top of the ship, outdoor dining and sunning areas, with your own hot tub and sauna, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, bar/dining/living room overlooking the pool. I needed help just figuring out how to use the fancy shower! But, I will confess, I've even had fun cruising in an interior cabin.

Unfortunately, the new pricing... it seems way more expensive than the old. But I have to say, I'm still happy with the decision to do it this way. I'm into stress free! We picked a seated luncheon, mostly because my dad will be 93 by then and I thought that would be nice for him. What do you have planned?
There was a way on here to become "friends" so to speak and chat outside of the forum, but I have no idea how to do that anymore... if you do, feel free to add me or try to chat with me.
Nice to know the person who will meet us at the dock, will be the same coordinator to be on the ship with us, that seems to make less room for error.
Am I the only one worried about what guest will do between boarding and the ceremony? I'm thinking about getting everyone maps of the ship and make a "Welcome Letter" telling them what they could do before the ceremony starts and what to expect with boarding, ceremony, luncheon, etc.
I can probably get most questions about the ship answered by our friend who will be the Hotel Director for both of us. He is in charge of everything not marine/bridge/engine/navigation related.... so rooms, food, restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc. He will also be there for our tour or if we cruise on that sailing. I know the Wedding Department and Wedding Experience handle all the planning, but the execution of most things is done by ship employees... cooks, wait staff, bartenders, etc. I know he is coming to visit before going back on the ship in September, so ask away and I'll make a list of things to ask. If needed asap, I can alway talk to him before then.
I have a million questions of my own... what are you doing for flowers? food? cake? any kids?

Thanks! I'm going to visit the ship in October, we might even cruise. Have been working on hotel reservations, finding a hairstylist/makeup artist, location for dinner the night prior. Happy to share what I have found out if you want any info. Also, our good friend will join the Magic as the Hotel Director in September, so he will be an excellent source of Magic specific info. I think I will get thank you money envelopes and do the best I can to guess and figure out who I need to tip early on. Someone else told me they tipped: officiant, coordinator at terminal, coordinator on ship, bar staff and photographer. Seems strange to me to tip a photographer.

We are booked on the Carnival Magic out of Pt. Canaveral on Dec 23, 2017 and getting married prior to sail away.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a Hair Salon in the Pt. Canaveral area?
We used electronic Save the Dates (I just can't bring myself to call them by their initials... I guess I've read to many OBGYN medical records.
