Prettiest port for RCL cruise?

[Cbanister]

Hi there, I am planning a wedding for 2014 and am looking for wedding location ideas. We are going on a cruise in 2013 to hit up some islands to see which one we like best. I was wondering if anyone had a favorite non-resort spot. We will be going via Royal Caribbean. My top spot is St Lucia and my fiancee would like to see Aruba. We have been to St Thomas, St Kitts and Antigua but we did not do any beach excursions to know if they will make good backdrops for a port wedding. I am hoping you girls can help me find the perfect spot. Thanks in advance! Christy

Hi Christy,

 

I think you pose a really good question. I have been to the ports that you have mentioned above, however, feel as though they all have a different vibe. I think you really need to ask yourself, what type of wedding are you looking for? I assume you are looking for a beach spot wiht a great backdrop - which they all do.

 

Do you have a spot that really means a lot to you? It sounds like St. Lucia and Aruba would be your top areas? I would suggest to start researching resorts and past weddings in those 2 areas. Start a list of pros and cons which will help sort your ideas.

 

Just my personal opinion, Aruba definitely seems more family friendly with a lot of activities that are geared for all ages. St. Lucia definitely gives me a more adult vibe. Both are absolutely beautiful!

 

Good luck! Wish you all the best!
