Renewing Wedding Vows on a Cruise Ship
by Lise - an avid cruiser
What could be more romantic than renewing wedding vows while on a cruise with your better half?
What are your reasons? Is it to celebrate your 5-year, 10-year, 25-year etc. wedding anniversary?
Or is it to reaffirm your commitment to one another?
Or you might have other reasons, but whatever it is, a wedding vows renewal on a cruise will definitely be a romantic moment to remember.
It is not an official legal event like a wedding. The ceremony may involve just the two of you and the officiant, or it may be a group of couples as well. On some ships, it's the captain who will perform it on board.
But
it can also be done ashore. Best place I know of for renewing wedding
vows is definitely Holland America's small bahamian chapel
on Half Moon Cay, their Caribbean private island.
Each couple receives a photo in a souvenir frame. To arrange, you need to contact the guest relations manager at the front office once you are on board.
Just make sure that the ceremony is led by a non- denominational officiant, unless it's not an issue for you.
The packages offered by the different cruise lines can go from free to expensive, simple to elaborate.
