Carnival Imagination September 2011...so much to do!

[Sarah1014]

Hello there! I am brand new to this website and am so excited other brides have the same questions I do! Has anyone else, or is anyone planning on sailing on Carnival Imagination for their wedding? We are doing the 3 night 4 day cruise to the Bahamas (so as many people can come as possible) and the wedding will be performed before the ship sails to include anyone that can't make the entire trip. Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hi Sarah...

 

I haven't gotten married on that ship but, if you have never been on that ship I believe you will LOVE it! My very first cruise was with the Carnival Imagination (Mexico) and it made me fall in love with cruising. We actually cruised it in 2004 before it was updated so I know it is probably even more fabulous!

 

We are getting married on NCL Jewel. This forum is pretty quiet but hopefully you will find some answers to your questions here. Another cool place to check out for cruise wedding info is cruisecritics.com... (http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31).

 

Happy wedding planning!

I am getting married in March on the Imagination.  We have 65 guests coming along for the ride:) and will be getting married while in the port of Key West.  I am very happy with my choice in the Imagination.  It is a smaller ship, but it is perfect size for smaller cruises and I have read really good reviews on the upgrades that have been done to the ship.  I originally sailed on her back in '98 so I am looking forward to seeing the Evolutions of Fun:) Happy planning!

Thanks so much! I have never sailed on this ship before, but have sailed on Carnival's Sensation out of Port Canaveral. I am so excited! Thanks for the info on cruisecritcs...I'll be sure to check it out!

Fantastic! You must be doing the 5-7 day cruise? 65 cruising with you?...that's a great turn out! We'll have about 50. We chose to get married on the ship because my brother doesn't want to cruise (boo!) and it's important to have him there. Maybe after you return in March you can let me know any helpful hints about the ship?! Happy planning to you as well:)

Hi there!  Congrats on the cruising wedding idea!! You are the first I have sound since I joined this website.  I am doing the same idea as well only I will be on the Carnival Splendor (7 day mexican riviera) I live in Ca and all of my family and guests do as well.  I wanted to do the exact cruise your going on but the flights would have been to much for my guests.  We sail out Feb 27 and return March 6 2011.  I have decided to get married in Puerto Vallarta (1st stop).  We are there from 9am till 10pm, easily allowing me to have a wedding in that time frame.  All the other stops didnt offer a stretch like pv did.  So I am thinking about having a "after party" on the boat when we return or a rehersal party the evening before.  How has the cordinators been so far?  What are their prices like? 

 

Cheers to a wonderful wedding and all the fun of planning
