I thought it would be fun for them and something I think a lot of people forget you can do (decorate you cabin door) I will post some picture . I made small posters for the guest and a large one for me and my hubby to be’s door. I personalized each one. They were not too bad price wise and shipping was really fast. This is the site I used and I used their templates. http://www.makesigns.com I also put extra bling on them and added stickers, I am going to attach a pen to our poster so people and leave us notes and well wishes!

I LOVE the Team Bride sign!

My Wedding date is 09/22, and Im wondering how soon I should submit my wedding documents such as ceremony outline and cake request form. Im also ordering a seperate grooms cake, but I have already sent that information to the coordinator. Any help is welcomed!

I am getting married on Sept 8, I am waiting at least 4 weeks prior to submit the cake form and other final forms. What are you using the separate grooms cake for?

My wedding date is 5/17 and I just sent mine in. They told me do have it all in 30 days before the wedding. They should have told you when talk to your wedding coordinator. If you have not talked to them yet I am sure you will soon. So no need to worry, you have a while to go. I hated that part because I am a planer and if it was up to me everything would have been done a year in advance lol but I understand they have a lot of weddings, I think up to 4 on each ship. Anyways congrats!!

Hello and congrats to all fellow brides. We are having a vow renewal ceremony in St. Thomas in celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. We are using Janelle from Island Bliss Weddings for the ceremony and then having a reception back on the Liberty afterwards. I have a question for anyone who has used Island Bliss Weddings. in regards to gratuities, are you giving a tip on the full amount of the ceremony or just to the individuals like Janelle, transportation, and music players etc? Please help I am not sure what to do about this!! Thanks in advance for anyones insight into this subject!!

We tipped Janelle and Stuart based on the cost of the ceremony (they were both wonderful), the photographer (he was amazing), and the server at the lunch reception (added extra to the included gratuity because he was fast and very gracious to us). I had envelopes for Janelle and the photographer set up beforehand with a thank you note, and our best man handed them over to each person.

We didn't tip the transportation guys because there were some snafus, and we didn't tip the steel drum player.

Hello all! Well i have 7 days left till we say "I DO" And 3 days till we set sail, We are driving to our port and heading out tomorrow so this will be my last post until I get back! We are going through Carnival for the cruse and wedding, we will be married in Nassau on Orange hill beach at 11:00 am. We opt. to pay extra for extra taxi so my fiance does not see me before the wedding. I got my final call about 2 weeks ago and found out they will be sending complementary chocolate covered strawberry and champagne to our room the night of the wedding. So I thought that was nice. I will take lots of photos and rite a review when i get back. I think i am going to write one for the begining process and a serrate one for the actual wedding it's self. Also i got this stuff for our guest that are sailing with us as a gift it is called poo-pourri you spray it in the toilet before you go #2 and it totally makes it have no smell lol it is the best and i thought it would be a good thing to have in the small rooms lol http://poopourri.com/ best of luck to everyone !!!

Ahhh the poop deck...who is your coordinator? I am getting married in Nassau too but at Compass Point. I had the option to do Poop Deck.

[ceruleansea]

Are you working with a cruise agent? Will save you money and make sure everything goes well so YOU can enjoy the day - and the entire sailing - to the max.

[Star930]

If you ladies have any question I will be happy to help. I was a carnival Victory bride in Oct 2010 and this site helped a lot.

we are working with Anne Marie, she has been great! Poop Deck works well for us because we have so many guests, and it is beautiful there on the beach

NAME? Beth
AGE? 28 (for four more days!)
LINE/SHIP Carnival Liberty
WEDDING PORT: Port of Miami
WEDDING DATE Nov 11, 2012
HOW LONG TOGETHER WITH S2B (Spouse 2 Be)? over a year that we've been dating, but I've known him for about 2.5 years
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE A CRUISE WEDDING? We loved our last cruise we just took in March, and we were trying to plan a smaller wedding, and I hate planning. We were planning on just going on a cruise in November, and I said, well we could just get married on it... Our family actually is cool with it, and most of them are coming, so thats that!
HOW MANY GUESTS (SAILING AND NON-SAILING)? Originally we thought we would be cruising by ourselves, and everyone would just come to the wedding.... Now we have like 17 sailing guests and 2 non sailing guests! lol
WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? We already joke we're an old married couple, but I'm looking forward to making it official. I'd say the honeymoon but honestly, with all the family, I'm sure we will need a second one... lol
