Sailing off to a wedding cruise is becoming a more popular activity nowadays. All modern cruise companies that count realize it as well, and are offering special packages that are suited and tailored to the needs of newlyweds. But which one to pick?
First, the destination. You want to sail off to a more exotic place, somewhere where you will forget the mundanity of the urban life, and enjoy the sands and ocean water. Do keep in mind that since you are inviting guests (potentially) with you that means that picking a destination that is too far away will result in more difficulties in organization. Good choices would be Bermuda, Mexico, Hawaii or throughout the Caribbean.
Decide whether you want to get married on-board or off-shore. The sad fact, though, is that only Princess company offers the marriage on-board, and others don’t have the necessary legal tools to provide you that offer. Don’t assume that just because of that fact Princess is the best cruise company to choose – after all, picking the ship that has the right facilities and types of services can be more important for you and your guests during your ceremony.
Regarding the companies – the most popular cruise brands include Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Disney, Princess, to name the few. Royal Caribbean is largely acclaimed as the best in the business, but again it depends on what kind of facilities you are looking for on the ship.
Also keep in mind that when you see the price tag, the costs of meals and drinks are not included, even in those all inclusive wedding cruise packages, neither are you allowed to have your own photographer (although that means less headache choosing the right wedding photography prices packages). Overall, though, these little drawbacks will not deteriorate the quality of your experience, because the fresh air and bright sun will make up for any of these easily.
