Socalev Posted April 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Came across this wedding set up on the Star. I don't have any actual info about the ceremony as I didn't hang around for the actual ceremony. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briji04 Posted April 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I didn’t marry on a cruise but I found a link on NCL that has the prices listed. Looks like it’s about $3000.00 for a legal ceremony and $2000.00 for symbolic ceremony. https://ncl.eweddingcalendar.com/Wedding-Calendar-Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted April 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Its expensive. Why not get married on land at the departure port, it might be cheaper and those who would like to attend but not go on a cruise can also be accommodated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted April 10, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2019 An ole saying - "Marriages performed on board the ship are for the duration of the cruise" ! Boarded in LOVE - DIVORCED at the disembarking gangplank Another note - marriages planned far enough in advance NCL may offer cruise discounts for the party - a wealthy magnate book the ship for a private cruise to be remembered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a small wedding, maybe 20 people. It was lovely. Just don't let your guests go to the buffet while they wait for the service to begin! They all pigged out and then barely touched all the goodies I ordered! 😞 Pigs! 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaLady76 Posted April 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2019 There's a video review on YouTube from a couple that did it. Their experience was horrible. Turned me off of the whole idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had I think 23 people there including us? 6 came on just for the wedding, the rest sailed with us. I'm sure it's not for everyone but it was absolutely perfect for us. It wasn't super cheap, but it was cheaper than renting a hall/minister/photographer/cake/champagne/etc. on land would have been, and more importantly for us it was lower stress and more our style. I have a review linked in my signature, and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Though I don't know how much has changed since then 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty much hassle-free and very nice. And what a way to immediately start the honeymoon with no further travel required! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had two couples with wedding parties of 30 and 50 friends on our cruise to Bermuda last September. Although not getting married on the ship. A hurricane forced up to go the Florida route, both parties had plans to marry in Bermuda, lots of scrambling for a location in Nassau. As it turns out we made it to GSC but found out around 6pm we were skipping Nassau. My wife and I just happened to be in one of the dining rooms next to one of the couples and their family when the Captain came over the PA system to announce were were skipping Nassau. Wow, were the F Bombs flying, the bride to be ran off in hysterics. I don't know if either party actually got married on the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically they get married but a justice in their state then I perform the wedding at a beautiful location. It was more relaxed and less expensive. peace!
