Debating between RC, Carnival, and Disney

[Heyitsnicolelee]

We originally wanted to have a Disney World wedding, but later decided we wanted to get married on a cruise. We got engaged on RC's Grandeur of the Seas. I have been looking into Carnival weddings, but the reception seems way too short. Disney cruises are also an option. Any opinions?

It came down to budget for us choosing Carnival. I liked the 75 non-sailing option for RCCL. I love DCL but it may have been too pricey for our guests. Celebrity would have been a top contender if they sailed from Port Canaveral.

 

I also felt like CCL was more "all-inclusive".

We had originally looked at Royal Caribbean or Princess. But, it came down to price point for our guests. We went with Carnival because the cruise fares fit into our guests budgets better. And we were able to do a 7-day cruise on a newer class Carnival ship for the same price that we could have done a 3-4 day cruise on a different line. And everyone had a wonderful time. I think doing a newer Carnival ship was a good trade off over an older ship on a different cruise line.

Are you planning to have an embarkation wedding, a port wedding, or at sea? That may make a difference in cruise line choice also. Only a few of them allow at-sea weddings.

 

My wedding was on Carnival. We did an embarkation wedding with the 1.5 hour reception and I thought it was perfectly fine. We didn't feel like it was cut short or anything. We did meet up with the sailing guests at dinner that night to kind of continue the celebration a little.

 

Also, from your user name, I'm guessing your name is Nicole Lee... that's my maiden name also. I think it's awesome to see another Nicole Lee also planning a cruise wedding. Now, if your fiancé is named Brian (my husband's name), that would be even crazier.
