I'm thinking a cruise wedding is the most low-key affordable option for us. However it seems more stressful. I cant find a lot of info. We will pick the destination and ship based on whats available since it is last minute. I have always wanted a beach wedding so I would like it to be at one of the ports. My questions are... What if the boat gets held up and doesn't make it to port on time or at all? What if there is bad weather? Can you still take OOT bags on board? Is it better to go with an Island WC or should I plan it though the ship staff? How can I avoid my FI seeing me until I walk down the island? I have read nothing but negative things about a cruise wedding...does anything have any words of encouragement or good stories about theirs? Thanks!!! I think it's pretty rare that the boat gets held up. Skipping a port, though, is quite common. There was just another bride on the CC forums who had to adjust her wedding because a port got skipped. I'm bringing OOT bags and plan to have them delivered. As far as FH not seeing you, it's possible! Mine will have a blindfold with him just in case.
