    I'm looking at options for planning a wedding on a 3-day cruise in July 2025, or at a resort. I want family to go on the cruise with us, and then we want to continue our vacation on our own. What are my options?

    Ahoy there, Natalie!

    First off, congratulations on your engagement. I love that you're planning to tie the knot on a cruise! Let's dive right into wedding vacation planning!

    From your question, you are sailing into a Land & Sea wedding adventure; this way you can split your celebration into a family wedding cruise followed by a Walt Disney World honeymoon. I looked up 3-day cruises in July, and the Wish has four dates available for a Bahamian cruise sailing from Port Canaveral.

    Aboard the Wish, you have multiple options for a wedding venue. The Grand Hall resembles a castle on the seas, and the Bayou, adorned with magnolia blossoms, is a lively and romantic location for your wedding. You also can choose the sand beneath your toes as you say your vows on Castaway Cay.

    The Fairy Godparents at Disney Fairy Tale Weddings can help you arrange everything for your ceremony and celebration. They will make sure that everything is perfect, from your flowers to your cake. Did you know that a wedding package includes a special dinner at Palo for you and your partner? Consider it a pre-honeymoon!

    Once you've disembarked from your cruise, kiss your family goodbye and start a magical adventure as a newly married couple! Since it's your honeymoon, I would choose a special Resort and add an Enchanting Extra to celebrate. Since you'll have just visited the Caribbean, your honeymoon could have a flair of the savanna with a stay at Animal Kingdom Villas and a private tour with the animals. You can plan your honeymoon yourself or contact a travel agent to help arrange your plans.

    Natalie, I hope your planning is ship-shape; I know your wedding will be practically perfect in every way! Feel free to float back by with any additional questions.
