    Been trying to get pregnant for the past year and a half with no results, so of course it's always in the back of my mind when I am planning future trips. We are going to Japan in January 2014, but I am still hoping to be pregnant in 2014. :-/ Just having a lot of issues...

    Awesome review, subscribed so we can see the rest!!

    I agree on the FtTF, wouldn't do again, we waited outside for almost an hour til we got in the building, then lines were shorter but when we separated from the rest of our group of 16, they didn't all have FTTF, we actually ended up onboard within 1/2 hour of each other, one couple with out fTtf was actually onboard 1/2 hour before us!? We checked on luggage arrival and everyones bags arrived about the same time, ahh well live and learn :)

    Can't wait to see more on your cruise!!

    Help!!! Trying to get married in bahamas- carnival ecstasy

    in Honeymoon & Wedding Cruises

    Posted

    Hello everyone! HELP HELP HELP!!!

     

    I am hoping SOMEONE can help me understand this process. I have been freaking out all day (and the weddings department is closed). I am going on the Carnival Ecstasy this September to get married while we are in the port of Nassau, the Bahamas. I was planning on having the ceremony planned by independent wedding planners on the island to have more control over the details and then have a Carnival reception back on the ship. Luckily, no major plans or deposits have been made. I was JUST told by the minister that it is required for me to go down to The Registrar's Office in Nassau, in person, once I have been in Bahamian waters for 24 hours. For me, that means I would need to go there on MY WEDDING DAY.

     

     

    I am distraught. I did not want to see my fiance on our wedding day until I was coming down the aisle. Now, I am worried that we will be rushed and my day will be stressful (i.e. RUINED), instead of the beautiful, relaxing day I thought it would be, We dock in Nassau at 8am and we would have to go to this registrar place and be at the mercy of their speed. Then, we'd have to get over to our ceremony site on our own, since I was planning to arrange charter busses to pick up our guests. I am just so upset and dont know what else to do. When I was planning my wedding through Carnival, they said they could take care of this for me and never mentioned going anywhere on our wedding day.

     

    I am wondering: does Carnival have other connections where they can bypass this rule, or was it just something they neglected to mention about the process? Are there any brides here who have been to the office on their wedding day?

     

    When I look it up online I find nothing but horror stories about how long it took there and what a waste of time it was. I am frustrated because I really dont want to have to get a marriage license in my home state before or after the cruise (what is the point of picking a wedding date, then??) and I don't want to go to that office and potentially be delayed for my own wedding! This is so stressful, does anyone have any advice or insight?

     

     

    Hey there, Not sure if you've booked thru carnival or thru an independent planner? Is the minister someone your bringing with you or lives in Nassau? Not sure if this is helpful info or not, but we're booked to be married in St Thomas, my independent wedding planner will arrange the transportation to the courthouse for us, Separately if we want so we don't have to see each other. We booked St Thomas since you can "sail in sail out" with no required residency time on the island, what are the Bahamian rules for this?

    I remember reading that some countries had an extra fee you could pay to "rush" the paperwork so you don't have to stay that long. Maybe Carnival does this, or maybe they are able to work around it if the ships home part is Bahama?

    If you've booked private Ide be emailing/calling them and asking just how the process works and what they can do for you. Maybe worth a call to Carnival and ask if they still have time to book you thru them if you feel that will be less stressful.

    Sorry I don't have clear cut answers, just what Ide do if I was in your position.

    Good Luck, :)

    :D Ohh my gosh, thanks so much for taking the time to write this fantastic pictorial review! And Congratulations on your wedding:)

     

    My fiance and I (along with our kids and some other family and friends) will be doing the same itinerary on the Glory in May, and getting married in St Thomas. It's been so helpful to read and see the pics and I plan to forward the link to all our sailing guest, none of which have cruised before. I think this will be a great read for them.

     

    Did you happen to save any of the fun times from the ship? And I'de be curious to know how many drinks made the Cheers program worthwhile..Like yourselves I don't want the unknown bar bill either at the end, but not sure if it would be useful for some of our guests. Any advice appreciated :)

     

    Again Thanks for taking the time to write your review :)

    Congratulations Lola2177,

    We're doing a bit of the same thing, but I'm this May, using Janelle (shes a complete doll :) We don't have a lot of people but I am in process of trying to find out what the options are once we get back on ship. If I hear anything I'll let you know, we may just do Steakhouse on board and order a cake separately.
