We are getting married in KW and having our reception back on board the ship. Did you book the deluxe reception package? I don't know about the ship allowing non-sailors on in a port. I know they will on embarkation day, but I doubt they will at other ports. All of our guests are sailing, so luckily I don't have to worry about that. You know if they don't allow the non-sailors on board, you could always have a small reception at your venue in KW and have hors d'oeuvres and cocktails probably for the same cost as the cruise. Did you book as a group and get perk points because you could use those to book a cocktail party for the cruisers for free? Where are you getting married at? We've booked the Pier House Resort and have been really happy with what their package includes.
