The Best Bahamas Wedding Cruises

Many people opt to have wedding cruises instead of church ceremonies. Plenty of cruise lines offer wedding and honeymoon packages for couples who want to start their lives together with a bit of romance. Part of the excitement of planning the wedding is finding the ideal wedding cruise for you.

One popular wedding cruise is the Disney Cruise Line wedding. The wedding part is paid for in addition to the price of the cruise. If you want to have an onboard wedding, you can have it on a special sun deck or in your choice of the lounges on the ship. The wedding is held, and then guests will enjoy wedding cake and champagne during a reception for the couple. This type of wedding costs about $1900.

You also have another option when you go with the Disney wedding cruise. You can get married at Disney's private Bahamas Island called 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 is held back on the ship. In either case, the actual legal ceremony is held before the couple even embarks on the ship.

Carnival wedding cruises have different prices depending on the amenities you choose and the number of guests that come to the ceremony. For just the bride and groom, a wedding held in the port of Nassau Bahamas costs about $1150. If a welcome aboard package is included, the cost rises to about $1600. For a Deluxe Romance package, the price is over $1800. There is also a fee of $100 for every additional 50 guests who come to the wedding.

The Welcome Aboard Package has a good sampling of wedding features, including a one hour reception, sparkling wine, hors d'oeuvres, and wedding cake. Even a photographer is supplied. The Deluxe Romance Package for Carnival's wedding cruises offers these amenities and more.

The Carnival wedding cruises vary. One is the Carnival Valor, a ship with a theme based on heroes of literature, history, and art. A special feature of the ship is the disco with video walls. Only their Eastern Caribbean cruise goes to the Bahamas.

Royal Caribbean also offers wedding cruises, but you have to make sure you are going on one of the cruises where the wedding option is available. It has to be a cruise that has been in the waters of the Bahamas for 24 hours before it arrives in Nassau and the wedding begins. Prices for different wedding packages range from $1600 to $2000.

Royal Caribbean has fantastic honeymoon and wedding cruises. What makes Royal Caribbean special is that the legal ceremony actually takes place on the island. You can make all the arrangements through the wedding coordinator assigned to the ship.

It is important to think of the honeymoon part of the wedding cruise as well. Look for the cruise package that offers you the best views and experiences of the Bahamas. If you take all this into consideration, it will be a joy choosing among all the great wedding cruises that are available.
