Can You Celebrate a Wedding on a Royal Caribbean Cruise?:
Yes. Royal Romance is the name of Royal Caribbean's full-service wedding and vow renewal program. Ceremonies can be performed onboard or in a port of call and need to be reserved and paid for before sailing.
Recently, Royal Caribbean enhanced its wedding program by introducing Explorer Weddings, which combines a cruise with a customized wedding in a distinctive setting.
Royal Caribbean Cruises' Onboard Wedding Packages:
Royal Caribbean offers four different wedding packages: "Duet Onboard" is small and simple; "Harmony Onboard" is slightly larger; "Symphony Onboard" features an elaborate menu of amenities; and "Royal Romance Destination Weddings" are performed on shore.
Ceremonies are approximately 10 to 15 minutes in length.
Elements in a Royal Caribbean Cruise Wedding Package:
The smallest package, "Duet Onboard," includes priority check-in for the bridal couple and their sailing guests, Royal Romance Wedding Coordinator, ceremony, officiant, recorded music, bridal bouquet, boutonniere with a matching bloom, keepsake marriage certificate, wedding cake for two, champagne with a personalized label including your name, wedding date and ship, one hour of photography, one 8" x 10" wedding photograph (fee for additional photographs), 8" x 10" engraved silver-plated frame.

Other Royal Caribbean Wedding Package Info:
Charges for wedding and vow renewal ceremonies do not include marriage license fees or port-specific sales tax. To avoid paying a late fee, arrange your wedding at least thirty days prior to the cruise sailing date. Bridal couples sailing with a group of 14 or more guests should book through the Group Department. Wedding parties may have a maximum of 75 non-sailing guests board the ship for their celebration.
Vow Renewals on Royal Caribbean:
The basic "Royal Encore" Vow Renewal program includes an onboard ceremony performed by the ship's social host, recorded music, bouquet and boutonniere, keepsake certificate, wedding cake, personalized bottle of Royal Romance champagne with your names and the ship's on the label, one hour of photography, and one 8X10 photo in silver-plated frame.
