Cruise- picking day of wedding date?

1. Have you found DCL to be very accommodating with requests if I requested it to be on the at sea day on the ship?

I would end up pretty disappointed if it couldn't be on the at sea day so I am leaning towards not doing the wedding on DCL. Also, how does photography work? 2. Can I pay to have a Disney photographer take pictures before/ during the wedding? How much does that cost?

The availability of a sea-day wedding depends on the ship's itinerary, so you'd need to talk to a Disney planner about that.



Shipboard photography is provided by an outside contractor called Shutters, not Disney, and brides have mixed reviews of the quality of their work. Lately many brides have been opting to bring their own photographer along—some will work for just the cost of their cruise, and that way you know exactly what quality of work you'll receive. Plus, you won't have to spend the last night of your cruise poring over hundreds of photos trying to pick what you want in the package you've bought.

Sometimes there will be a cosmetologist working in the salon who also can do makeup, but it's not guaranteed and reviews are mixed. Some brides have a friend or family member do their makeup, or they just do their own. A few bring along a makeup artist, but usually it's because they're a friend.
