For reservations and information, call the Vacations To Go Group Department toll free at 800-514-9986, Monday through Friday, 8am to 8:30pm, CST. Wedding Reservations Please reserve your Royal Romance wedding early. Due to the care Royal Romance Wedding Consultants give each wedding, Royal Caribbean is limited in the number of ceremonies that can be coordinated on each ship and at each port of call. All ceremonies and receptions are reserved based on availability. Ceremonies may only be held for three (3) business days. To avoid a $250.00 late fee, please arrange your wedding at least forty-five (45) days prior to the sail date of your cruise vacation. If Royal Romance assists in obtaining your marriage license, documents must be submitted to the Royal Romance Department no later than sixty (60) days prior to your sail date. If submitted within sixty (60) days prior to sailing, the bridal couple will be charged an additional $150.00 late fee. Our Royal Romance Wedding Consultants will work with you to create the perfect wedding that suits your individual style. Your wedding date will be reserved as soon as full payment for your wedding package is received and upon receipt of a signed Royal Romance Wedding Agreement. Wedding arrangements may be paid in US Dollars by credit card, travel agency check, certified check*, personal check* or international money order. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted. Once your wedding is confirmed with payment, a wedding reservation can only be rescheduled outside of sixty (60) days prior to the sail date. If you need to reschedule the date of your wedding, it is subject to availability and a rescheduling fee of $250.00. Due to the limited availability of some services, Royal Romance encourages bridal couples to book options from the "Ceremony Enhancements" section as soon as choices are made. Enhancements will be confirmed upon full receipt of payment. Additions and changes may only be received up to forty-five (45) days prior to the sail date of your cruise vacation. Weddings onboard Royal Caribbean International ships and their ports-of-call are unique and memorable events; however, in some instances not all services can be provided. Please be advised that in the event of strikes, lockouts, riots, weather conditions, change of itineraries, missed ports, mechanical difficulties or other unforeseen circumstances, Royal Caribbean International may at any time and without prior notice cancel, advance, postpone or deviate from any scheduled sailing or port-of-call. Sailing with a Group Bridal couples with a group of 14 or more guests can book their hotel packages, cruise vacation packages and other amenity arrangements directly with our Group Department. All wedding arrangements, including wedding receptions and payments, will be handled through the Royal Romance Wedding Department upon reservation of your cruise vacation. Complimentary group cocktail parties may not be coordinated as a wedding reception. Wedding Locations Ceremony times and locations are assigned according to the requirements of each wedding or onboard event. Times and venues will be confirmed approximately two (2) weeks prior to the sail date of your cruise vacation. According to the number of guests, weddings are performed in the ship's library, chapel (if applicable) or in one of the ship's lounges. For safety reasons much of the furniture onboard is anchored in place and therefore cannot be reconfigured. Wedding decorations for the ceremony include two (2) white columns and two (2) silk flower arrangements. Shoreside wedding locations do not include floral decorations or chairs, however these enhancements may be purchased and are subject to availability. Wedding Guests As a complimentary service provided by Royal Caribbean International, wedding parties may have up to ten (10) non-sailing guests in attendance at the wedding ceremony. If there are more than ten (10) non-sailing guests, a reception package must be booked for the entire wedding party. Additional cake and champagne does not constitute a reception. If a reception is booked on the ship, additional non-sailing guests may attend the ceremony and reception. Please note that in some ports-of-call, non-sailing guests are not permitted to board the ship due to security restrictions. Wedding parties may have a maximum of seventy-five (75) non-sailing guests board the ship for their celebration. Wedding parties with 26 – 50 guests require the services of an additional Wedding Coordinator and will be charged an additional fee. For 51 – 75 guests, Royal Romance requires the services of another additional Wedding Coordinator and so on per every 25 guests. Bridal couples having a shipboard or shoreside wedding ceremony may purchase an onboard reception immediately following their ceremony. Onboard receptions require the services of a Wedding Coordinator and will incur an additional reception fee of $150.00. All non-sailing guests must present a valid photo, government issued identification, such as a driver's license or passport, when checking in at the pier security desk. Minors under fifteen (15) years old may present a certified copy of their birth certificate. Guests are required to arrive at the pier at 10:30 am* to begin the boarding process. Once United States Customs approves boarding, wedding parties will then be escorted onboard. You will be sent a form to complete regarding information on your non-sailing guests. This form must be returned to Royal Romance no later than forty-five (45) days prior to sailing. *Arrival times vary from port to port Priority Check-In Priority check-in is provided for guests whose ceremony is performed the first day of sailing. A Royal Romance Wedding Coordinator will greet the wedding party at the security desk inside the port area and then escort them onboard ship. A Royal Romance Wedding Coordinator will then escort the bridal couple to their stateroom. Bridal couples may board as soon as United States Customs clears the ship, which is typically between noon and 12:30 pm. All sailing and non-sailing guests will receive priority check-in, provided they arrive at the pier by 10:30 am. Sailing guests must complete the paperwork in their ticket booklets before arriving at the pier. Note: It is extremely important the wedding party hand carry all items onboard that are to be used in the ceremony. This includes the tuxedo, wedding dress, shoes, jewelry, etc. Security will only allow one small carry-on and one garment bag per person. Luggage checked with the luggage handlers may not arrive in the stateroom until well after the ceremony. Since there is no food provided at the pier, Royal Caribbean suggests guests enjoy breakfast prior to arrival. Non-sailing guests are not permitted entrance to onboard restaurants. Royal Caribbean asks that all non-sailing guests refrain from using the Windjammer Cafe while onboard. The Ceremony Royal Romance has prepared a beautiful wedding ceremony for your special day including vows to commemorate your unique wedding experience. If you choose to use your own vows, please submit a typewritten copy at least forty-five (45) days prior to sailing. Ceremonies will be performed by a nondenominational Officiant. The bridal couple may also provide their own Officiant to perform the ceremony. It is the bridal couple's responsibility to ensure the Officiant has appropriate credentials. Ceremonies are approximately 10 to 15 minutes in length and cannot be exceeded due to time constraints. All weddings are approximately one hour in length including ceremony, strawberries and sparkling wine toast, and photo shoot. Strawberries and sparkling wine toast will be incorporated into any reception purchased. Traditional recorded wedding music is provided for shipboard ceremonies on a CD player. If a special musical selection is requested, bridal couples are welcome to provide the Wedding Coordinator with their own CD. Following the ceremony, you will be escorted to the reception location for cake cutting and a sparkling wine toast. The ship's Captain can perform your ceremony once the ship is in international waters. Your marriage will be legally recognized in the Bahamas. Check with your local governmental authorities to see if they will also recognize your marriage. Charges for wedding and vow renewal ceremonies do not include enhancements, marriage license fees, or applicable port specific sales tax.

Shoreside Wedding Guidelines: Ports-of-Call & Pricing Guidelines Marriage License Overview The bridal couple is responsible for obtaining a valid marriage license from the port-of-call they have selected to host their wedding. Royal Romance can assist in obtaining a marriage license in some ports-of-call for an additional processing fee. Please note: In some ports taxes will apply. Once the wedding has been reserved, Royal Romance will send the bridal couple detailed marriage license requirements. Your applications and appropriate documents must arrive sixty (60) days prior to the sail date to avoid a late fee. Please note that in some ports-of-call, the courts are closed on weekends, local and national holidays, and some may charge additional weekend or holiday fees. All licensing and holiday fees are nonrefundable. Prices are subject to change for marriage license and processing fees as there could be an increase issued by the local government and the difference in cost will be incurred by the bridal couples. The marriage license must be presented to the Marriage Officiant prior to the ceremony. For weddings at sea, the bridal couple must obtain a marriage license from the Bahamas. The Bahamian marriage license process is complex and requires at least 60 days for processing. Royal Romance will assist you with obtaining your license to ensure all legal requirements in the Bahamas are met. Additional licensing fees apply. Bridal couples that reside in Europe who will have their wedding performed outside of Europe may require an Apostille for an additional fee. The Apostille is verification from the United States Government that the marriage license is a true and legal document.
