@@cruisebride2016 we arrive at 10am and depart at 5pm. @@acw271011 @@cruisebride2016 we won't know for sure what time slot we will be given for the ceremony, but we hope it's for the earliest time being we arrive at 10am. I'm unsure if I would be able to put on my dress at the resort the beach is facing or if I have leave dressed which defeats the element of surprise for everyone if we have to all be transported together to the beach site from the boat. The ceremony itself shouldn't last long at all since we opted out of having a wedding party. I want to explore the island with the remaining time we have left. We want to go to Dunns River Falls and tour the island with whatever time remains. Once we make it back aboard, dinner time will be approaching which we are unsure if it would make sense to have a reception after we eat or to even spend the money to have a hour reception right before dinner time.

@@cruisebride2016..... We booked the wedding for Ocho Rios, Jamaica....we are trying to determine if we want to purchase the "reception" package aboard the cruise. For one, we don't want to have to head immediately back to the boat following the ceremony since they are providing the transportation. We want to be able to explore the island (tour or something) before the ship departs the port. The ship leaves Ocho Rios for 4, so we are wondering if we should wait till dinner (6:15pm to eat n celebrate) or purchase this reception package for an hour then head to dinner which sounds like a waste of money to me. If we do the reception package it would be only for the guest since me and my fiancé are not really concerned about that portion. We are still brainstorming what to do after the ceremony other than going back to the boat

Hello, I'm new to this blog site and recently engaged this month. We have chosen, what we believe to be, a less stressful and the least expensive route of a cruise beach wedding. We are crushing Carnival Sensation Feb 2017. The cruise leaves out of Miami and docks in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman. After speaking to Carnival the amount of money charged only covers a few things. A vendor, who is responsible for the decor and other essential items, charges a separate pricing for those items. We are looking to have 20 guest to sail with us. Has anyone cruised and participated or participating in an upcoming beach wedding offered by Carnival? What did you all do immediately after the beach wedding? Are there some things I need to watch out for or hidden costs or hiccups? What are your experiences? All feedback is welcomed.
