I would love to read the experiences of brides who have had their wedding with Carnival. Particularly ones who had their wedding on shore recently? How was the planning process? What are you pros/cons of doing a wedding thru the cruise line? How was the reception? I noticed that are really short. Since my FH found out that wedding a cruise is a thing its really what he wants to do and I've dreamed of a destination wedding so I'm glad this option is here. And I was wondering.. has anyone attempted to plan a wedding without the cruise line but during the cruise (like at one of the ports)? Like with a private planner? Did you end up saving?
