Of course!! We wanted to have both options for people, as we know everyone's budget is different. If you cannot make it on the cruise we would still love to see you in Galveston ready to celebrate with everyone!
For the ceremony/reception (in Galveston) we ask that you dress in "beach cocktail" attire. Think of something you can sweat in, dance in, and feel good in. Cocktail is a very loose term, just wear something that is a little more elevated than your normal Vacation attire. (But please no swimsuits). If you are attending the "Symbolic" wedding on the cruise ship at Costa Maya, we ask that you dress in "Beach Formal". This will be a little more of a "traditional" type wedding. Think linens, light colors, florals... etc.
Yes! The Ceremony and Reception will be at Willie G's in their upstairs room at the "Shipyard Hall". Please come ready to celebrate and enjoy dinner and drinks afterwards!
We do realize this is not a doable trip for everyone! As much as we would love everyone to be there, we understand that things come up/happen.
Yes! Treat this as a vacation for your family. Some families may want to leave the small children behind because of the destination and we understand that. It is totally up to your preference and what you are comfortable with. P.S. - Children under 13 sail free with Royal Caribbean!
Yes! If you want to bring a guest or date, please just mark it on your RSVP.
We have a designated Facebook group for this event, where you can RSVP and we also ask that you RSVP here on our website!
Please go to the "Cruise Booking" tab on this website and look for the paragraph to book with Royal Caribbean and you will see an email for "Cindy Grimm" she is helping us book and helping to make sure you are with the group. If you wish to book through Royal Caribbean ONLY, we just ask that you choose the correct date for this cruise and give them OUR (Javi & Dana's) confirmation number when you book, since this a "Group" for Royal Caribbean.
If you are attending the cruise then short answer: Yes! We will be having the symbolic wedding at Puerto Costa Maya, so we will be leaving the port. It is about a 10 minute drive from there.
