January 2014 Cruise Wedding

[meganator22]

I am trying to plan a January 2014 cruise wedding, I really like royal carribean cruise ship but have seen mixed things about their weddings. Does anyone have any advice? Very open to location at this time as well! Thank you

We opted out on a cruise wedding with Royal Caribbean ( that's all we sail) . He are some reasons why for what you pay to have ceremony you are very rushed and have no control over anything and wont even know you location of the wedding till 2 weeks before sailing. Everything is extra just didn't see the point and over on year there packages went up 800.We are getting married in March 2014 in cocoa beach the day before and have invite out guest along with us on the cruise since that was the original plan.

I am getting married on RC Brilliance of the seas 3/2014 and I read the post from a very disgruntled bride. I voiced my concerns with the Royal romance department and she did acknowledge that RC had just taken over doing their own weddings last year and have recently hired more people to assist with the planning and coordination of weddings. The wedding itself is not that hard to pull off, I am worried about the reception....however I am working with the groups dept. to plan a separate celebration while on the ship for all who cruise with us, because the one hour prior to sail reception just isn't going to be enough for our group, LOL!!!
