Jeter2 Posted January 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'm seriously considering tying the knot on a Princess Cruise. In order to share the moment with the most people, I'm leaning towards a harborside wedding while the ship is still at the embarkation port in Ft. Lauderdale. Does anyone know if this feature is available on all Princess ships at Ft. Lauderdale or a select few? Thank you!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasetf Posted January 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'm seriously considering tying the knot on a Princess Cruise. In order to share the moment with the most people, I'm leaning towards a harborside wedding while the ship is still at the embarkation port in Ft. Lauderdale. Does anyone know if this feature is available on all Princess ships at Ft. Lauderdale or a select few? Thank you!! ;) First off --- welcome to the CC boards. I am assuming a harborside wedding means on the ship on embarkation day. Next... being new, you have missed probably the biggest discussion thread in the past month. You will probably want to read though this thread and the others posted by LDMAC about her experiences on the Grand Princess. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=459377 I am just providing the information.... to use as you see fit. There has not been a resolution to her complaints... to my knowledge. But I think one thing is apparent..... an embarkation day wedding has some inherent challenges. I would think getting married the day before leaves more time wedding day and embarkation day... but of course it could not be on the ship.

smoothdancer Posted January 12, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I noticed this is your first post.. Did you happen to notice under the special interest section there is a thread on wedding cruises... You might get some useful information there, if you have not already. Good luck on your decision.

Cruisin' Chick Posted January 12, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I too was about to suggest you check out the threads about LDMAC's botched wedding. You may have more control by doing the wedding back home and then honeymooning on the cruiseship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from the desert Posted January 12, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Just to put things in perspective, Linda's wedding experience (horrific as it was) is the only thread I have read concerning the "very bad" with a ship's wedding. Personally, I don't think a wedding on a cruise ship would be very manageable and could lead to potential problems. A honeymoon aboard a cruise ship could be total bliss. No arguing about where to eat, where to stay, where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongerob Posted January 12, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Weddings are difficult to arrange and pull off at the best of times without trying to do it at a busy seaport with lots of traffic. I think a cruise is a GREAT place for a honeymoon, but if it were me I'd plan to have the ceremony elsewhere. JMO. I have seen wedding parties on board during embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale, and even got to meet one couple. They said everything was fantastic. I'd like to think the Florida company that was responsible for the previously mentioned botch-job in Galveston would be much more capable near their home base.

ratherbecruzn Posted January 12, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2007 My sister got married 12/31/06 on the CB before we embarked. They had a very nice wedding and reception. The wedding coordinators did a great job taking care of all the details and my sister was very happy with everything.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
