Dear Wedding Party:
We are celebrating a very special day that our bridal couple has chosen to share with you, their family and friends. It is very important that we all do everything in our power to make the day special and memorable for them. A shipboard wedding may be a new experience for you, so we ask that you review the information below to ensure a stress free and safe day for everyone.
Boarding: Priority boarding is provided for bridal couples, as well as their guests, being married on the day of sailing. The time to board the ship is controlled by US customs and Immigration. No one is allowed to board the ship until they clear the ship.
NON-SAILING GUESTS: All non-sailing guests are to be completely dressed and ready for the wedding when arriving at the cruise terminal. The bride and groom submitted a guest list for all non-sailing guests including your names and date of birth. You will need to provide your state issued photo ID at the time of check in, please have it available.
