This will help out a lot! Thank you so much. :):)

Thank you so much for your reply. We will be sailing out of Port Canaveral on the Magic, so all your info is very helpful. I have been communicating with a coordinator named Gina from the time we booked the wedding. She has been very helpful, along with the rest of the wedding department.

We're getting married on the Magic on May 26. I was wondering, where is the parking located for non-sailing guests? You mentioned it was hard to find.

Did non-sailing guests have to pay to park?

How did they manage to keep you and the bride from seeing each other before the ceremony during check in and boarding?

How long did you have to wait to board after everyone was checked in? I know it varies depending on when the ship is cleared.

Do they take pictures after the ceremony of the wedding party, before the reception starts?

How much time is there between the ending of the ceremony and the beginning of the reception?

I know I have a lot of questions, but with my wedding only a couple of weeks away, I'm getting really excited and really anxious!;p

Can you send it to me as well? Getting married on the 26th! kanikacalloway@gmail.com

Thank you SOOOOO much HappyCruiser25!! I just saved over 800 bucks!! Made my Friday!!

You are welcome! I'm glad I caught it and was able to pass this great news along to my fellow future brides. My savings were over $1100...more money to have fun with on our cruise.

I saw the new packages but I haven't called to make the switch yet. The new packages are much better.

 

When you cancelled, were they able to transfer original payments and refund the difference or did they refund your original payment in full? If you were not able to transfer, did you have to make immediate payment in order to hold your spot?

They were not able to transfer payments and give me a refund of the difference. I had to pay immediately to hold my spot. Thankfully, we had the money on a credit card available. I'm going to put the funds back on the cc when my refund is processed. The savings alone was worth rebooking the wedding.

If you have booked a Carnival wedding with the old package, you may want to look into the new packages they are offering. They are offering three different packages. I previously booked the Magic for a wedding in May 2018. With the old wedding package, the extra fees to have the wedding on Magic and during May, the add on pricing for the different tiers and DJ, I was looking to spend well over $4000. This new packages are cheaper and the Classic package includes the food and drink reception, and there are no extra fees to have it on a specific ship or during a certain month. I was able to cancel the wedding without penalty since I am outside the penalty period and rebook with the new package.

I bought a carton of Newport in Grand Cayman for $25 )the ship price was $37. They delivered them to the ship though.

 

Does anyone know what cigarette prices are in Cozumel?

We were in Cozumel in May. The price for a carton of Newports was $29.

My girlfriend and I are cruising on Carnival Liberty 12/7/13. Anyone else on this cruise?
