Oh something my cousin was able to get was priority boarding for the entire group. We're in a suite ourselves, but the others traveling not in a suite were secured boarding with the Diamond status passengers. I would encourage you to just ask nicely for anything you're looking to do. The worst they can say is "no" but you just never know when they will be able to accommodate you.

Oh that is so true!! Yes I want to get on the ship was quickly as possible! I will be lugging my dress through security and everything!! (I don't want to put it in a garment bag! :o)

I just wish our sailing had a little more time before yours so I could get you answers sooner! Wedding planning is fun but stressful. I hope your special day is wonderful. :)

It has been! But its an experience that I am so happy to be doing! And thank you!! I hope your cousins is as well! :D

**I have posted this thread in the Royal Caribbean, but I figured I might as well post here!!**

Hello everyone! I have just recently figured out this website and I am searching for some help! My husband and I will be having a wedding on the Harmony of the Seas December 18, 2017. (We decided to get married before the sailing, bohemian wedding license was pricey) We are super excited, and so far everything has gone super smooth! I have read some previous threads about individuals having a awful experience and that is getting me a bit worried.

So to begin a little bit about myself! My name is Victoria (25) and I will be completing my wedding to my best friend Adam (28) of 8 years in 29 days!!!!!! Its his first cruise, and I am so excited to share this with him.

We chose a cruise wedding because,

1) We love to vacation!

2) We did not want the stress of a local wedding!

We will be having about 18 guests total sailing with us, the wedding day will be the 3rd day at sea. My coordinator with Royal Ocean Events has only been a good experience so far! She has responded to my emails same day, and has made sure to get everything that I have wanted. Like we are having open bar but 3 of my guest cannot drink so they will be getting the Soda & Juice package only! We are also having the Platinum buffet, which is great! But I have a small nephew who will NOT eat steak or lobster, so we were able to order him a chicken finger plate for $15. She has recommended all of these to me and has made sure that I had chosen the right things and noted everything correctly! Of course I understand I will not know if this is all going to go according to plan until day of but I am completely hopefully that everything will go just fine.

We have also made welcome bags and were able to get a space for everyone to meet up embarkation day to give out which is awesome!!

**Sorry for the long rant**

So basically I am wanting to know if anyone else has been married on Harmony of the Seas yet and how was their experience? And if anyone has photography photos that they are willing to share. Also how well did the spa do hair and makeup?

And if anyone wants me to keep this thread updated on my experience I will gladly post photos and any tips and info that I can share! I hope to have a positive outcome with my Royal Caribbean Wedding.

Congratulations! Wishing you all the best for your wedding day.

 

There is another board on cruise critic where you might find some information or ideas

https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=31

 

It's not specific to Royal Caribbean though, you may have already seen it but I thought it was worth a mention :)

Thank you! Thank you!! I will search through these!! Probably should of posted my thread there. :confused:

I feel like she has the appointments already setup and that they were probably done through the coordinator. Doesn't hurt to ask! I also know she has a meeting on embarkation day with the coordinator to go through all the details and walk through the venue again. I might be joining her since my daughter will be a flower girl. I can update you on the 3rd once we're on board. :)

You are awesome! Thank you!! I have sent my coordinator an emailing asking about it!! :D

My cousin is getting married on Oasis on the December 3rd sailing (eek so soon!!) and we're a group of about 30 traveling for the wedding. She's doing a 2 hour beer and wine bar, then we're all going to the MDR for dinner. However, they are doing a 2nd cocktail party on a later night also.

 

I know she had problems at first with her coordinator but after complaining the supervisor took over and she's super happy.

 

We do have hair appointments for the wedding day and I can update you in just over 2 weeks.

Congrats to your cousin!! I hope you guys have a wonderful time!!

And I mean I had one issue at the very beginning (over a year ago), but the coordinator did not last and I was given a new coordinator which she has been only wonderful since.

Did you make your hair appointments through the wedding coordinator? or Royal Caribbean? I know wedding parties have priority, but I would love to go ahead an get things schedule for a set time.

But that would be awesome thank you!!!! :D And again congrats and I hope your party all have a blast!

Congratulations! I can’t speak to a cruise wedding specifically, but we did a destination wedding and I just wanted to share my insight - as long as you and your husband are there together, your day will be amazing no matter what happens 😊 It seems like no wedding anywhere goes off 100% perfectly, but good communications with the ship is definitely a good sign!

Thank you!! Seeing this put my mind at ease a whole lot! :) And that is very true, I'm easy going, so if something does happen I'm not going to let it ruin our day!!

Congratulations!

Thank you!! We are so very excited to start a new chapter in our lives!!
