FAQs

Is there specific requirements for Non Sailing Guests?

You are considered a non-sailing guest if you are attending the wedding ceremony/reception only & are not cruising with us. A unique feature of a cruise ship wedding is the special requirements that guests must follow due to government & cruise line regulations. We hope that these requirements do not inconvenience you in any way.

All non-sailing guests are required to provide photo ID such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport to board the ship. Children under the age of sixteen must bring an original or certified copy of their birth certificate.

We must submit a complete guest list to the Carnival Wedding Department with the full legal name, date of birth, and identification information of each non-sailing guest attending our wedding by a given deadline. It is very important that your completed RSVP information be returned to us by July 1, 2024 to ensure that you are included on the guest list. Please be considerate of this deadline. We WILL NOT be able to add you to the guest list after the deadline that Carnival has given us.

When you check in at the cruise terminal, the Wedding Guest Check-In Staff will verify that the information on the guest list matches the ID you provide during check-in. You will then be given a visitors pass to wear while on the ship. Carnival will hold on to your ID (and child’s birth certificate) while you are on the ship; it will be returned to you when you leave the ship.

If the identification (photo ID or child’s birth certificate) that you provide to Carnival at the time of check-in does not match the information they have on the guest list, you may be denied boarding. So, please make sure that the information you provide on your Response Card is complete & accurate and that your identification card does not expire on or before 8/17/2024.

Boarding passes will be emailed to the email provided within 2 days of the wedding. It is the guest responsibility to print and bring the boarding pass with them.
