It was the first verse of the song for the TV show The Love Boat. For many couples, to inspire romance. What is there not to enjoy? adventures going on a cruise, stopping at new places and enjoying a tour of the Caribbean or Mediterranean, while you were on it was very tempting for many.

If you were inspired by this show and decided to have your destination wedding on a cruise, there are several things you should keep in mind, so your wedding to fit your dreams. The last thing you want is to get on board, but do not have any fun. Nor would you want to be on board, but I can not get married because it's got something left undone.

For example, the actual wedding will take place the port in one of the stops for the cruise. This means that you need to check that you have the necessary papers, so you can get married there. This therefore means that you need to know that your cruise will be put before you start the paperwork.

That being said, you only have two things to do. The first is to choose your cruise line or ship. the second is to learn the requirements to get married in port or in the country of your choice.

If you want to be on the Love Boat, you'll want to choose the Pacific Princess. This was the original ship used for the TV show and it was really nice selection. If you're open to suggestions, there are many other options, but it is the original love boat, so if you want to Real Deal is that ...

Something to keep in mind that not all boats will allow you to get married on board. They have a May wedding packages but their set-up for your wedding will probably be done on the beach, which is really not a bad choice. Those couples and guests who are not particularly good sea travelers will surely thank you for the opportunity to be solid ground under them as you get married.

These cruise lines will allow you to get married on the ship:

Carnival Cruise Line Norwegian Cruise Line Holland America Line Princess Cruise Royal Caribbean Line

These two will not:

Crystal Cruises Cunard Line

Since this is a destination wedding a very special kind, it means that your guests or everyone on the boat or fly to the port where the wedding will take place. It is best to make sure that the ship will allow your guests to board, if they will not be sailing with you. Again, there is the advantage of the fact that you are getting married on the beach instead of on the board.

If you do not keep him on board, do not expect the captain to perform the ceremony. Unless he is also a judge, priest, minister, justice and peace or a notary public, he is likely to be your officiant. Cruise lines will typically provide one though, if you tell them ahead of time and it's part of their services.

Oh, and do not expect "your captain" Captain Merrill Stübing be there! Love Boat Captain (aka. actor Gavin MacLeod) is now 79 years, but he's still going strong for the past 23 years he served as an advocate, and MC, for Princess Cruises where new ships are launched. Funny enough :)

Until next time, happy planning!
