FAQs

Do I need to book a cruise to attend the wedding and reception? 

No! While everyone is weclomed to book a cruise and sail with us, you do not need to sail with us to attend the wedding. Non-sailing guest will be allowed on the ship with the wedding party, and then will be asked to debark the ship around 2:00 in the afternoon.

What do we need to bring with us if we just choose to attend the wedding as a non-sailing guest? 

Non-sailing guests are required to bring State-Issued ID/Driver's License for security. All minor non-sailing guest are required to have their birth certificate for security. In addition please text Jessica at (760)447-8684 the following information; guest names, date of birth, email address and contact number. It is important that we have this information on file, otherwise the cruise line will not allow you to board for the wedding.
