What is the difference between customer care associate, shoreside coordinator and onboard coordinator?
The customer care associate is the first person you’ll talk to when you call Royal Weddings. They will assist you in choosing a package and completing your
contract. From there, your personal shoreside coordinator will help you design all the details of your event. You may contact your shoreside coordinator by email
or schedule a phone appointment. Once onboard, your onboard coordinator will execute all the details of your event in accordance with your contract.
For needs beyond your event, please contact guest services once onboard for additional assistance.
Is my wedding date, time & venue guaranteed?
The date, time and location of your Event are initially scheduled based on several factors, including but not limited to: the size of the wedding event party, the
requested venue, the number of wedding event participants who are not sailing on the Vessel (if embarkation day packages), other activities scheduled on the Vessel,
the reception location, the duration of the ceremony event, entertainment requests, and staffing availability. As any of these factors can change the date, time,
location, and other variables of your Event. Though we understand you envision a specific date, time and venue, contractually, these elements are subject to change
and cannot be guaranteed.
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 in brochure are in U.S. 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.
