FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can the Captain perform our ceremony, and will it be legal?
The 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.

How do I get a marriage license for a wedding at sea?
The Bahamian maritime marriage license process is complex and requires at least 90 days for processing. Royal Weddings will assist you with obtaining your license to ensure all legal requirements in the Bahamas are met. Additional licensing fees apply. It may take approximately 10-14 weeks upon returning from your cruise to receive your marriage certificate.

Can I get married any day or night of the sailing?
There are certain limitations as to when your wedding can take place. Royal Weddings will make every effort to accommodate your preferred date but it is subject to the venue and officiant availability.

How far in advance do I have to book my wedding at sea?
All weddings at sea must be booked at least 90 days prior to sailing but we strongly encourage you to book as far in advance as possible. Additional fees may apply if booking within 90 days.

May I bring guests to my wedding? If so, is there a limit?
For shipboard ceremonies, the maximum will depend on the capacity of the venue. For shipboard ceremonies taking place on the first day of sailing at the port of embarkation, up to 75 of your guests (out of your 150 total guest allotment) may be “non-sailing guests” that attend the ceremony but depart the ship before it sets sail. For shoreside ceremonies, you may add guests, but capacity may be limited, depending on the location. Additional transportation, entrance and site fees will apply.

When getting married on the first day of the sailing, why do I have to be at the port early?
For weddings held on the first day of the cruise, we allow wedding parties priority boarding. Because of this, we require that members of wedding parties arrive at the pier at a specified time to avoid congestion. Note that boarding times may vary by port.

What happens if it rains on my destination wedding day?
If the weather is unsuitable for an outdoor ceremony, alternate arrangements will be made at the discretion of the coordinator.

What if a member of the wedding party or a guest has special needs?
Wheelchair, restroom and changing room accessibility vary by ship and by port. Contact your coordinator for location specifications.

Who performs the ceremony?
In the United States, a Notary Public or a non-denominational officiant will preside. In non-U.S. ports, a non-denominational officiant will preside. Legal ceremonies at sea are performed by the Captain or Staff Captain. Symbolic ceremonies at sea are performed by a non-denominational officiant. Religious ceremonies are not available.

What about same-sex ceremonies?
Same-sex legal weddings are currently offered ashore, in U.S. ports and in ports abroad, where legally permissible. Legal same-sex weddings cannot be performed at sea, as Royal Caribbean ships are registered in the Bahamas. However, symbolic same-sex ceremonies can be performed at sea or at select ports of call.

Is there an additional fee for Saturdays, Sundays or holidays?
Additional fees will apply on some holidays. Contact your Royal Weddings Planner for complete details.

Is music provided at the ceremony?
Portable music systems are available for your shipboard ceremony. Traditional wedding pre-recorded music is provided, or you may bring your preferred music. Music is not provided for weddings held shoreside, but can be arranged at limited locations.

May I bring my own decorations for my wedding?
Wedding decorations brought onboard are subject to approval. Contact your shoreside coordinator for more information.

How do we pay for our wedding?
Full Package amount is due upon booking. Final payment for enhancements is due 45 days prior to sailing. All prices shown on brochure are in US Dollars.

Am I able to use GAP points or Group/Cruise credits towards my wedding?
No, we cannot apply these points or credits to your wedding package or enhancements.
