Welcome to Florida! This is a relaxed arrival day for everyone to fly in, get settled at their hotel, and prepare for the cruise adventure ahead. There are no official events planned — we’re keeping it low-key and flexible. Although you don’t have to fly in the day before like we are, it’s been our experience that arriving early takes the pressure off and makes everything smoother for cruise check-in the next day. Even if it's the evening before, delays happen, and we’d hate for anyone to miss the boat — literally! New to cruising? Have questions about what to pack, what to expect, or how cruise boarding works? Be sure to check out our FAQ page for lots of helpful tips — especially if this is your first cruise!

All aboard! Let the adventure begin! Once you’ve checked in, explored the ship, and settled into your cabin, join us for a Sail Away Party to kick off this unforgettable week together. We’ll be meeting on deck 15, where there's live music, dancing, and a whole lot of fun. This is when we get to watch the ship set sail, snap some pics, and soak up the good vibes as we head toward the Caribbean. ***Bonus points if you get the DJ to play the Wobble song by V.I.C. and get out there and dance with me! It's a cruise ship classic!
2:00 pm
We’re getting married in international waters — for real! This isn’t just a symbolic ceremony — our marriage will be legally officiated by the ship’s Captain as we sail the open sea. The ceremony will take place on deck at Outriggers, weather permitting. It feels surreal, a little wild, and totally us. After the ceremony, we’ll hang out for some music, fresh ocean air, and low-key celebration vibes. Later that evening, we’ll gather for dinner in the formal dining room, and hopefully dance the night away somewhere onboard! More details to come...
10:00 am
This is a totally flexible day with no scheduled events — just a chance to relax, sleep in, and enjoy the ship at your own pace. We know everyone has different rhythms, so please don’t feel any pressure to meet up or stick to any plans.
7:00 am - 4:00 pm
Welcome to Roatán, one of the most stunning ports on our cruise, home to the second-largest barrier reef in the world! This island paradise is known for crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and lush green jungle. We’re still finalizing what we’ll be doing for the day, but we’re currently leaning toward a snorkeling + beach boat tour that would allow us to explore the reef and unwind on the sand. We’re also looking into options that could accommodate a larger group, in case others would like to join us — so stay tuned!
7:00 am - 6:00 pm
Belize holds a special place in our hearts — we’ve been here several times and even considered it for our wedding! This time, we’re planning a relaxed day trip to Caye Caulker, one of our favorite islands so far—picture golf carts, reggae music, beach bars, and turquoise water. We’ll take a water taxi from Belize City to Caye Caulker, then hop on a golf cart and cross The Split via the Rasta Ferry to reach the peaceful north side. There, we’ll spend the first half of the day unwinding at Bliss Beach, soaking in quiet views, soft sand, and crystal-clear water. Later in the afternoon, we’ll head back across The Split to meet up at the famous Lazy Lizard — a fun, lively spot perched right over the water. Expect Caribbean music, dancing, cold drinks, and good vibes to close out the perfect Belize day! **Golf carts are the main way to explore the island, and taking one across The Split via the Rasta Ferry is a fun and memorable ride — truly a Caye Caulker must-do!
9:00 am - 7:00 pm
We’re planning a full day of fun and adventure at Xel-Há, one of Scott's favorite eco-parks in the Riviera Maya. Think of it as a natural water park built into a jungle lagoon — with snorkeling, lazy river tubing, cliff jumping, rope swings, zip-lines, caves, and all-you-can-eat food and drinks included in one place! We’re currently deciding whether to book the "Xel-Há Paradise + Tulum Mayan Ruins" excursion through the cruise line or organize our own transportation to Xel-Há directly. Either way, this is going to be a highlight of the trip — more details to come soon!
7:00 pm
It’ll be hard to believe the week is already winding down! This will be another easy, open day at sea, and we hope everyone uses it however they need — sleeping in, lounging by the pool, hitting the spa, or squeezing in a few more desserts at the buffet (no judgment). There won’t be any formal plans or meetups during the day — it’ll be totally up to you to relax, recharge, or do your own thing. In the evening, we’re planning to host a casual farewell dinner in one of the main dining rooms for anyone who wants to join us. It’ll be a simple way to close out this incredible week together with good food, good company, and maybe one last toast before we dock the next morning. Check back later for more details...
8:00 am
It’ll be time to say goodbye — or at least “see you later.” Disembarkation typically begins early in the morning, so be prepared for announcements, rolling suitcases, and that bittersweet feeling of leaving the ship behind. We’re not quite sure what everyone’s plans will be — some may head straight to the airport, others might stay in Florida for a few more days. Either way, we hope your travels are smooth and your hearts are full. We’re so incredibly grateful to everyone who will be making this journey with us. Thank you for being a part of something so special in whatever way you can. We'll see you when we get back from Egypt! -Future Mr. & Mrs. Lockwood
