Do I Pay for Parking?

[holstang]

Hi Girls,

 

Need your opinions regarding our cruise wedding. We are having our wedding aboard a cruise ship before it leaves port, allowing us to have non-sailing guests to come on board for our ceremony and reception.

 

Here's my question- am I supposed to pay for parking for my non-sailing guests? It's $15 per car, and I'm figuring there will be about 25 cars to pay for, which comes out to $375. Just for parking!

 

This makes me sad. What do you think ladies? I need your opinions!

 

Thanks!

Honestly, I think you should. I don't have anything to go off that other than I would be annoyed to have to pay for parking to attend an event like a wedding.

 

The beach I'm getting married at has a per person entrance fee that I will be taking care of for all my guests.

Paying for parking would be a very nice gesture, I am sure you can find some other ways to cut a few corners and make up for the parking cost.

What port are you leaving from... I was looking up parking rates at Port canaveral and it mentioned there is a free lot for people not cruising... google it. I believe this is correct.

I'm leaving out of the port of Long Beach. I think they have different rules for different ports.
