Vow Renewal Questions

[New2Cruise76]

Hi all, new member here, and I'm in the planning stages of a cruise with the family for summer of 24. We've never cruised before, and with a family of 5, the price of MSC is appealing. We're planning for a Bahama cruise out of New York.

 

My wife and I had a very small wedding put together on a shoestring budget (wife's parents disowned her a month prior, so we had to come up with new funding on our own, they kinda reconciled before the wedding, but she's low contact with them because of it), so I talked to my wife on our this year on our anniversary, and we've decided to renew our vows on the cruise.

 

I've searched the forum, as well as MSCs website, and i know they offer a Vow Renewal package, and once we get booked, I'll reach out to them for more information, but I'd love to get an idea on what's involved in the process.

 

The biggest thing is that I'd like to have our kids involved. Are vow renewals similar to an actual wedding ceremony, where you can have a wedding party as part of the ceremony? Also if anyone has done this recently, which package did you get, and what was the cost?

 

Thanks in advance!!

Not exactly sure how MSC does it.  We were married on RCCL.  Probably a similar process.  First book your cruise.  Then call the department of MSC that handles weddings,  renewals,  etc.   That person (planner)  will answer all your questions.  They will accommodate you in anything you want to do (within reason).  Be prepared to ante up for any frills beyond the basic package.  While our experience on Royal was not cheap,  it was very well done.  My lovely wife was very happy.  Very happy.   Good luck.
