Brides I need advice and help with planning guest activities!!!! Feeling Lost!!

Hi All-

So I posted a few weeks ago about how the hurricanes changed my wedding plans. The most significant change is our guest list has dropped and we rescheduled from December to July. Which is fine.

What are you doing for guest activities?

I don't want to overload folks, because it is their vacation, but at least plan some meet up times on the ship. We also will have a free cocktail party that will not be disclosed until cruise per Carnival rules.

Everyone is flying into Puerto Rico and we are off for a 7 day cruise on the Fascination.

Friday(5pm to 8pm) - Dinner planned for those that have arrived. (Question do we pay the tab)

Dancing after dinner for those that want to continue

Saturday - 7pm-9:30- Welcome Party at hotel. (Thinking of adding a Party Bus for later that night) Thoughts

Sunday - Cruise day... I know there are folks arriving that day. Do people normally plan excursions for guest? Any thoughts.

Monday- Wedding day- It is also formal night. The wedding will be held on the island and than a reception after and we head back to the ship. I am thinking that already makes for a long day.

We are a fairly young group, I don't want to over plan or schedule events.

As mother of the Bride I have some optional trivia games and scavenger hunts planned for sea days our group. I am still working on the prizes.

Scavenger Hunt sounds great!!!! Not sure mygroup will be interested. Trivia games are awesome.

My trivia games are all cruise or Caribbean related, not expecting great results but should be fun. Also having some word scramble and word searches as extras plus LRC game (small and easy to pack).
