We did it! We are married. I boarded the ship last Sunday with a huge list of questions not answered by Shanda, but we managed. Everything was wonderful. Our On board corrdinator was Rufaro. She is excellent. The weather was sunny and high 70's. The outlook is very nice and cozy. Has a piano in there that was played and sweeping views of the water. Was great for our cake cutting, but would also be wonderful for an on board ceremony. Everyone was very nice and they made sure all the details were perfect. We did the big photo package. So Rufaro made sure the photographer took plenty of picture. We had Andre. He was wonderful and I highly recommend him. His pictures are gorgeous and he takes his time to get the right picture. He even carried my shoes when I took them off to walk on the sand. The cake was beautiful, but don't get the buttercream filling. I really think it was just butter. Kind of weird. The cake was very moist.

If you are considering canceling your cruise over Shanda's lack of communication, please know her attitute is not carried over to the ship. Everything was well planned and well carried out.

yayyy!!! im sooo happy that everything turned out perfect for your big day!!! ive been dying to hear how everything went. Thank you for letting us know about how the wedding was. im sure it was all you wanted and more

Congratulations! How many people did you have come along for the wedding?

Awww thank you so much for the prayers! Aren't you just the sweetest thing?!?! We're all arriving late the evening of the 14 and heading to Epcot the 15th. Where are you staying? We're at POR. Maybe we'll bump into each other

We are staying at the Animal Kingdom Villas this time....we are OKW owners and usually stay there, but I thought the boys would love the surprise of the animals out their window.

Rufaro is on the Dream??? YAY!! She is outstanding..I love her so much..she made everything so easy!!

Shanda sent us our final budget on Jan 31st by email and our wedding cruise departs Port Carnaveral on Feb 24th if this helps! She also sent me the name of the group coordinator today (Panos).

If it's the same Panos, we met him on the maiden voyage and he's lovely. He's from Greece although his wife is from the UK. He was one of the most helpful CMs behind Guest Services.

does anyone know who the wedding cooridator on the magic is at this point

 

[babypinkbunny]

Congratulations! How many people did you have come along for the wedding?

We had two additional people with us. We also had a crowd of people watching. It was really cool to turn around and see all the people from the ship watching.

Yes, Rufaro is on the Dream! She was excellent. She did make it so easy...I didn;t even have to think about anything. She made sure the photographer took plenty of pictures since we got the big picture package.

I'm new here and I have a question. If you're want to get married at CC, do you have an civil ceremony just like the on board wedding?

I have a CC ceremony scheduled. We'll have a civil ceremony (the legal part) when you get on board (Thursday) and then the ceremony at CC later (Saturday)

 

[MomsOf2boys]

We are officially getting married a few days before we leave for FL in CA and then having the ceremony in on the Ship, conducted by my sister. Since the Captain of the Ship can't really officially marry us anyway, this wasn't a problem and everything is coming along nicely!

Shanda sent us our final budget on Jan 31st by email and our wedding cruise departs Port Carnaveral on Feb 24th if this helps! She also sent me the name of the group coordinator today (Panos).

We were able to reserve the Chefs' Table at Remy the night before the wedding. I don't know if it was the request I sent or the request that Shanda sent - we ended up sending one ourselves when Shanda was difficult to get hold of. We heard that we had the Private Table from a friend who will be attending the meal with us when she found out that she couldn't reserve Remy because she was already eating at the Private Table!!! How funny, eh??

Good luck with everything, my fellow Disney Cruise Brides!

I am wanting to do a VR on the Dream and my minister is traveling with us. I wondered if this would be allowed and still use their packages. Did they give you a hard time about it or anything? We may just do it ourselves as we will be in the Roy suite so we will have plenty of room.

 

[Flurbee]

Subscribing to this thread..We are having our VR hopefully in 2013 on the Disney dream!!! Going to go back now and read some!!

 

[hrarcham]

We had our VR last Monday on the Dream. I will post pics on my PJ page shortly. I just have to upload them...
