I would like to know as well as I only wanted to travel with my passports too...

I'll let you know when I find out.

What was the song? As a professional pianist, he should have some sight reading skills so it's good to know that DCL pianists can sightread well. Not that sight-reading is enjoyable, God knows how I cannot wait to pass my music theory classes and not have to sightread three times a week for an hour I'm hoping to give my pianist some Disney sheet music and ask him to just improvise between them. He could play basic chord harmonizations and I would be happy

As you can see, the music nerd in me is starting to show! Lol

It was Ben Fold's "the luckiest"..you can hear him play it in the clip below...I had 2 pieces..the full on sheet (whatever that is called) and an easier version..so when I handed him both to ask which he wanted to use, he kinda chuckled and took the full

I can read music but this was COMPLICATED...He knocked it out right there in the lounge before his evening set..So maybe you could do the same thing. Our onboard coordinator arranged for us to meet him on night before his set.

Love that song.

Good to know. I haven't thought about music yet but I would have never thought to bring sheet music.

he did "speed it up" so he could play a good portion during the processional..if I had used the CD, I don't think we would have had as much played

He also played it again while we had our pictures taken after the ceremony..I didn't even know he was still playing during the pictures until I saw the video when we got home

That's WONDERFUL about the pianist playing during your pictures! I'd love for my pianist to do that. I'm so happy you got to meet with your pianist beforehand. I would absolutely love to speak to my pianist before the ceremony!!!!

Let's see..he played while people came on deck and mingled before the ceremony, he played the ceremony and he played for about 30 minutes after (because we had 6pm Palo seating) so I would say we had him for about 45 minutes because I walked at the aisle at 5:30pm

Spoke to a photographer that said that DCL can't know that we are doing business with him because it would break some sort of work permit law in the Bahamas. Apparently, he's done cruise weddings before and says that to be able to do official business we would need to pay $800 a day for a work permit since he would be doing business on Bahamian waters/land (Castaway Cay). Anyone know about this?

Mikkel Paige is an AWESOME Photographer!!!

I was looking at her website and I LOVED her work....until I found out that she lives in NYC
Did you have to pay for her airfare as well as her cruise fare? I'm kind of pushing the boundaries of our budget just by having to pay for a photographer's cruise fare. On our sailing, one person in their own stateroom would put us at $1,053

She did live in FL, and that is when I booked to work with her...I would contact her and see if she would be willing to go if you pay for her and a guest to cruise...she may get some cheap airfare and want to go Her site is amazing and I must say she does seem very creative...I cannot wait to work with her for our upcoming wedding...she was actually referred to me by Goldelox (Lisa)!!!

I am sooooo excited, we got our trade through our time share and will be staying at OKW after our cruise for a week...I was REALLY sweating it there for a bit that I may have to pay out of pocket to stay but it worked!

I hope more brides show their photos, I love seeing them all!

Thank you for posting the link to your pictures. You both look so happy.
I love how your dress and his shirt were matching, did you make them?

Did you hire an on board photographer or did you have a friend take the pictures.

I also love the champagne glasses that you personalized, great idea!!!
