is it possible...

[haras]

to have an impromtu wedding on board? without getting a marriage license or a blood test done before hand? Just curious if anyone has gone on a ship, and had a spur of the moment wedding.

w/o a marriage license you aren't married. Blood test isn't necessary. And depending on the ship you may need to schedule an officiant on to board for the wedding....it isn't like Vegas ;)

I am not sure about all cruise lines, but... Royal Caribbean offers a "symbolic wedding" which looks like a real wedding, but without the marriage license.

 

If you want it be an official wedding, you need a marriage license from the city/state or non-US country where you plan to tie the knot. every place has their own rules & fees.

 

Plus, if you were married before, you'll need certified copy of divorce decree or death certificate (if spouse died).

 

Example Rules/Fees:
