Vow renewal on Cruise...has anyone done it?

[fairyprincessmom]

Hi Ladies,

We are looking to renew our vows at Disney and were thinking about an escape vow renewal but I am now considering the cruise one. Has anyone done the wedding on the ship? How about Castaway Cay? What is included and how much does it cost, I am having trouble finding the cost anywhere. Thanks for your help.

Hi to the board!

There are several ladies here who have done vow renewals on DCL. You can see some information here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1766164

I'm sure they'll post and help you in any way they can!

VR are the same cost as a wedding - $3500 for a Castaway Cay ceremony or $2500 onboard. If you have more than 20 guests (well, 18 if you're not including the bride/groom) it costs additional $$. Lots of people do VR's on the cruise line. I'm sure they'll reply soon!

Me Me Me!!

I am not sure if they had a price increase, but ours was $1500 for Deck 7 Aft

Mike had a CC vow renewal in August...his pictures (and mine) are on the thread hiwaygal posted

My trip report (and 2 minute video) are linked in my signature

ETA - I think the VR guest is 10 including bride and groom. I paid $100 for the 15 I had

Nope, VR's are $1000 cheaper for each option.

Well ya know...it costs a lot to have that quick 30 second ceremony before you sail.

Hi,

I just spent about 45 minutes reading the link that was posted about everyones weddings. All of the pics were beautiful....We have some time before we can book the VR but I feel like I am more prepared now. We are taking our first cruise as a family in Dec 09, right before my hubby ships out to Iraq for a year, so I am going to go check out all the places everyone wrote about....thanks I am sure I will be back with questions at some point.
