The Best Bahamas Wedding Cruises
Wedding cruises are extremely popular instead of a church ceremony. Most cruise lines offer a wedding/honeymoon package. The choice of exotic and exciting wedding locations compounds the excitement and romance of the wedding plans.
One popular wedding cruise is the Disney Cruise Line wedding. Think of your choices; a beautiful wedding ceremony on the sun deck of a ship or one of the eloquent lounges. The wedding comes first then the festivities of cake cutting, drinks and the reception for the newly weds. This type of wedding costs about $1900.
Would you believe you also have another wedding option with the Disney Wedding cruise? What about getting married on a private Bahamas Island, Disney’s Castaway Cay. If you do this, Disney will transport the bride to the wedding site before anyone else. The groom comes next, and the wedding is held on the island. The reception follows the wedding, that occurs back on board. Want to know a secret? The bride and groom actually get married prior to getting on the ship.
Carnival wedding cruises also have a variety of wedding packages whose prices depend upon your choices and the number of wedding guests. The Carnival wedding package costs approximately $1500 for the bride and groom getting married in the Port of Nassau Bahamas. Carnival wedding packages also offer a “Welcome Aboard” package for $1600. For the Deluxe Romance Package from Carnival,$1800. If you have a large wedding guest list, be sure to add an additional $100 per 50 additional guests.
If you were wondering what was included in the Welcome Aboard Package offered by Carnival; well, one hour of festive reception, drinks to include sparkling wine, food and wedding cake. Even a photographer is supplied.
The wedding cruises offered by Carnival are varied. One is the Carnival Valor, a ship with a theme based on heroes of literature, history, and art. Would you believe a complete disco-tek with whole wall video screens. One thing to keep in mind, only the Eastern Caribbean cruise goes to the Bahamas.
