The following information will assist you in creating a
unique and romantic ceremony onboard an elegant Royal Caribbean cruise
ship or in one of our ports of-
call. Create a customized wedding by adding options from
Royal Romance’s “Ceremony Enhancements” section to your ceremony.
I m p o r t a n t G u i d e l i n e s
Royal Romance ceremonies are designed so that every
detail is taken into consideration, which allows you to relax and simply
enjoy your special day.
Please review the following information on how to
arrange a Royal Romance wedding. Due to the program’s popularity, please
call to check the availability of
your wedding date prior to reserving your cruise
vacation.
•
Wedding ceremonies are
available in many of our ports-of-call. Please note
that wedding ceremonies cannot be performed while at
sea. Please review
the “Ports-of-Call” and “Pricing Guidelines” sections as
ceremony and
enhancement prices vary by port, ship and season.
•
A Royal Romance Wedding
Consultant will gladly hold your date for three
(3) business days while you book your cruise vacation.
•
The bridal couple must
be sailing if they would like to host a ceremony. The
booking number is required to confirm your wedding date.
•
Wedding packages,
license fees, taxes and surcharges must be paid in full at
the time of booking. All ceremony and reception
enhancements should be
reserved and paid in full as early as possible.
Additions or changes are not
possible less than forty-five (45) days prior to your
sailing Royal Romance
provides all professional services such as
photographers, entertainment,
cakes, beverages, fresh flowers, etc. No outside vendors
and / or services are
permitted.
•
The bridal couple is
responsible for obtaining a valid marriage license. A list
of marriage license requirements and fees will be
provided once the wedding
has been reserved. In most ports-of-call Royal Romance
is able to assist
couples in obtaining their marriage license for an
additional processing fee.
The marriage license fee and processing fee must be paid
in full at the time
of booking. Please refer to the “Ports—of—Call” and
“Pricing Guidelines”
sections for further details.
•
Royal Romance strongly
recommends that wedding parties who are getting
married on the day of sailing arrive at least one day
early to avoid late
flights, traffic, etc. on their wedding day. In the
event of any travel delays,
your wedding may or may not be performed due to time
constraints. In some
ports, Royal Caribbean International offers a Day Prior
program for guests
arriving the day prior to sailing. This program includes
hotel
accommodations, tax, and portage. Transfers provided by
the Day Prior
program from the hotel do not arrive at the pier in time
for the priority
boarding which is included in your wedding package.
Guests should arrange
for alternate transportation to the ship.
•
Prices, packages and
policies are subject to change without notice, are nonnegotiable
and are subject to applicable sales tax.
W e d d i n g R e s e r v a t i o n s
Please reserve your Royal Romance wedding early. Due to
the care Royal
Romance Wedding Consultants give each wedding, we are
limited in the number
of ceremonies that can be coordinated on each ship and
at each port of call. All
ceremonies and receptions are reserved based on
availability. Ceremonies may
only be held for three (3) business days. To avoid a
$250.00 late fee, please
arrange your wedding at least forty-five (45) days prior
to the sail date of your
cruise vacation.
Our Royal Romance Wedding Consultants will work with you
to create the
perfect wedding that suits your individual style. Your
wedding date will be
reserved as soon as full payment for your wedding
package is received and upon
receipt of a signed Royal Romance Wedding Agreement.
Wedding arrangements may be paid in US Dollars by credit
card, travel agency
check, certified check*, personal check* or
international money order. Visa,
MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted.
Once your wedding is confirmed with payment, a wedding
reservation can only
be rescheduled outside of sixty (60) days prior to the
sail date. If you need to
reschedule the date of your wedding, it is subject to
availability and a
rescheduling fee of $250.00.
Couples are encouraged to call the Royal Romance Wedding
Department with
questions or ideas at any time during the planning
stage.
Due to the limited availability of some services, the
Royal Romance Wedding
Department encourages couples to book options from the
“Ceremony
Enhancements” section as soon as choices are made.
Enhancements will be
confirmed upon full receipt of payment. Additions and
changes may only be
received up to forty-five (45) days prior to the sail
date of your cruise vacation.
Weddings onboard Royal Caribbean International ships and
their ports—of—
call are unique and memorable events; however, in some
instances not all services
can be provided.
Please be advised that in the event of strikes,
lockouts, riots, weather conditions,
change of itineraries, missed ports, mechanical
difficulties or other unforeseen
circumstances, Royal Caribbean International may at any
time and without prior
notice cancel, advance, postpone or deviate from any
scheduled sailing or port-ofcall.
Royal Caribbean and Royal Romance shall not be liable
for any loss
whatsoever incurred by reason of such cancellation,
advancement, postponement
or deviation. Please refer to Royal Caribbean
International’s brochures and cruise
ticket contract for additional terms and conditions
regarding your cruise vacation.
*Please note: Agencies and/or personal checks are not
accepted within sixty (60)
days prior to your sailing.

*Arrival times vary from port to port
S a i l i n g w i t h a G r o u p
Couples with a group of 14 or more guests can book their
hotel packages, cruise vacation
packages and other amenity arrangements directly with
Royal Caribbean International’s
Group Department. All payments for these arrangements
can be processed through your
travel agent. All wedding arrangements, including
wedding receptions and payments,
will be handled through the Royal Romance Wedding
Department upon reservation of
your cruise vacation. Complimentary group cocktail
parties may not be coordinated as a
wedding reception.
W e d d i n g L o c a t i o n s
Ceremony times and locations are assigned according to
the requirements of each
wedding or onboard event. Times and venues will be
confirmed approximately two (2)
weeks prior to the sail date of your cruise vacation.
According to the number of guests,
weddings are performed in the ship’s library, chapel (if
applicable) or in one of the ship’s
lounges. For safety reasons much of the furniture
onboard is anchored in place and
therefore cannot be reconfigured. Wedding decorations
for the ceremony include two (2)
white columns and two (2) silk flower arrangements.
Shoreside wedding locations do not
include floral decorations or chairs, however these
enhancements may be purchased and
are subject to availability.
The type of reception purchased determines the length of
time allotted for a reception. In
some ports, reception times may be limited. For more
details, please check with a Royal
Romance Wedding Consultant.
W e d d i n g G u e s t s
As a complimentary service provided by Royal Caribbean
International, wedding parties
may have up to ten (10) non-sailing guests in attendance
at the wedding ceremony. If
there are more than ten (10) non-sailing guests, a
reception package must be booked for
the entire wedding party. Additional cake and champagne
does not constitute a
reception. If a reception is booked on the ship,
additional non-sailing guests may attend
the ceremony and reception. Please note that in some
ports-of-call, non-sailing guests are
not permitted to board the ship due to security
restrictions. Wedding parties may have a
maximum of seventy-five (75) non-sailing guests board
the ship for their celebration.
Wedding parties with 25 – 50 guests require the services
of an additional Wedding
Coordinator and will be charged an additional $150.00.
For 51—75 guests, Royal
Romance requires the services of another additional
Wedding Coordinator and so on
per every 25 guests.
Couples who choose to have a shoreside wedding ceremony
may purchase an onboard
reception following their ceremony. There is an
additional fee of $150.00, as onboard
receptions require a Wedding Coordinator.
All non-sailing guests must present a valid photo,
government issued identification, such
as a driver’s license or passport, when checking in at
the pier security desk. Minors under
fifteen (15) years old may present a certified copy of
their birth certificate. Guests are
required to arrive at the pier at 10:30 am* to begin the
boarding process. Once United
States Customs approves boarding, wedding parties will
then be escorted onboard. You
will be sent a form to complete regarding information on
your non-sailing guests. This
form must be returned to Royal Romance forty-five (45)
days prior to sailing.
P r i o r i t y C h e c k - I n
Priority check-in is provided for guests whose ceremony
is performed the first day of sailing. A
Royal Romance Wedding Coordinator will greet the wedding
party at the security desk inside
the port area and then escort them onboard ship. A Royal
Romance Wedding Coordinator
will then escort the couple to their stateroom. Couples
may board as soon as United States
Customs clears the ship, which is typically between noon
and 12:30 pm. All sailing and nonsailing
guests will receive priority check-in, provided they
arrive at the pier by 10:30 am*.
Sailing guests must complete the paperwork in their
ticket booklets before arriving at the pier.
Note: It is extremely important the wedding party hand
carry all items onboard that are to be
used in the ceremony. This includes the tuxedo, wedding
dress, shoes, jewelry, etc. Security
will only allow one small carry-on and one garment bag
per person. Luggage checked with the
luggage handlers may not arrive in the stateroom until
well after the ceremony.
Since there is no food provided at the pier, Royal
Romance Wedding Department suggests
guests enjoy breakfast prior to arrival. Non-sailing
guests are not permitted entrance to
onboard restaurants. We ask that all non-sailing guests
refrain from using the Windjammer
Cafe while onboard.
T h e C e r e m o n y
Royal Romance has prepared a beautiful wedding ceremony
for your special day including
vows to commemorate your unique wedding experience. If
you choose to use your own vows,
please submit a typewritten copy via email to Royal
Romance Wedding Department at least
forty-five (45) days prior to sailing. Ceremonies will
be performed by a nondenominational
Officiant. The bridal couple may also provide their own
Officiant to perform the ceremony. It
is the couple’s responsibility to ensure the Officiant
has appropriate credentials. Ceremonies
are approximately 10 to 15 minutes in length and can not
be exceeded due to time constraints.
All weddings are approximately one hour in length
including ceremony, strawberries and
sparkling wine toast, and photo shoot. Strawberries and
sparkling wine toast will be
incorporated into any reception purchased. Traditional
recorded wedding music is provided
for the ceremony on a CD player. If a special musical
selection is requested, couples are
welcome to provide the Wedding Coordinator with their
own CD. Following the ceremony,
you will be escorted to the reception location for cake
cutting and a sparkling wine toast.
The ship’s Captain does not have the authority to
perform wedding ceremonies. All
ceremonies are civil ceremonies performed by a
government-approved official.
Charges for wedding and vow renewal ceremonies do not
include enhancements, marriage
license fees, or applicable port specific sales tax.
Please review the “Ports-of-Call”,
“Receptions” and “Ceremony Enhancements” sections for
additional services offered. All
charges and sales tax are subject to change without
notice and are non-negotiable.
C a n c e l l a t i o n P o l i c y / W e d d i n g I n
s u r a n c e
Royal Romance must receive notice of cancellation in
writing no later than sixty (60) days
prior to your sailing date. For wedding ceremonies, a
refund less $500.00 and the license fees
will be issued. For Vow Renewals, a refund less $200.00
will be issued. Refunds will not be
granted for cancellations made less than sixty (60) days
prior to sail date. To cover your
wedding, Royal Romance strongly suggests purchasing our
Wedding Insurance. Contact the

The bridal couple is responsible for obtaining a valid
marriage license
from the port-of-call they have selected to hold their
wedding. Royal
Romance can assist in obtaining a marriage license in
some ports-of-call
for an additional processing fee. Please note: In some
ports taxes will
apply. Once the wedding has been reserved, Royal Romance
will send
the bridal couple detailed marriage license
requirements. Our office
must receive all applications and appropriate documents
sixty (60) days
prior to the sail date to avoid a late fee. Please note
that in some ports-of
-call, the courts are closed on weekends, local and
national holidays, and
some may charge additional weekend or holiday fees. All
licensing and
holiday fees are non-refundable. The marriage license
must be presented
to the Marriage Officiant prior to the ceremony.
Wedding couples that reside in Europe who will have
their wedding
performed outside of Europe may require an Apostille for
an additional
fee. The Apostille is verification from the United
States Government
that the marriage license is a true and legal document.
All couples
should check with their local marriage license bureau to
see if this
document is necessary for them to register the marriage
in their country
of residence.
