FAQs

Question

What are the wedding and travel dates?

Answer

The wedding date is April 14, 2027. The cruise sails April 12–16, 2027 from Port Canaveral, Florida. We ask all guests to arrive the night before and stay in the Port Canaveral area on April 11, 2027 to ensure a smooth embarkation.

Question

Where is the wedding taking place?

Answer

The ceremony will take place at Perfect Day at CocoCay @11am, followed by a reception onboard Utopia of the Seas.

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

A valid and updated passport is strongly recommended for all guests. Royal Caribbean allows U.S. citizens to sail with a birth certificate + government ID on certain itineraries, but a passport is the safest option in case of emergencies or unexpected travel needs.

Question

What time should I arrive at the port?

Answer

Plan to arrive at Port Canaveral no later than 11:00 AM on April 12. Cruise check‑in times will be assigned by Royal Caribbean once the check‑in window opens (usually 45 days before sailing).

Question

Where should I stay the night before?

Answer

We recommend staying in Cape Canaveral or Cocoa Beach on April 11. These hotels are closest to the port (4-5 mins away) and offer cruise‑friendly amenities like shuttles and early breakfasts.

Question

Which airport should I fly into?

Answer

Fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO) — about 45–50 minutes from Port Canaveral. Orlando Sanford (SFB) is a secondary option about an hour away.

Question

How do I get from the airport to the port?

Answer

Guests can choose from: • Shuttle services (shared or private) • Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) • Rental cars • Hotel cruise shuttles (many local hotels offer $10–$15 per person transfers)

Question

What are the wedding colors?

Answer

The wedding colors are sand, sage green, blush pink, and lilac! Guests are free to wear one or a combination of these colors to help create a beautifully coordinated celebration. Soft spring color attire is also appropriate. You can find inspiration in the last three images on our gallery page.

Question

What Should I Wear for the Wedding?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island — think turquoise water, soft sand, and a warm ocean breeze. The dress code is Beach Elegant, blending island‑casual comfort with wedding‑day polish. For Women • Flowy sundresses, maxi dresses, or beach‑friendly cocktail dresses • Light fabrics like linen, chiffon, or cotton • Sandals, flats or wedges (avoid thin heels — they sink in the sand) • Optional: sun hats, light shawls, or beach‑friendly accessories For Men • Linen or lightweight dress shirts • Khakis, chinos, or linen pants • Optional: tailored shorts (island‑appropriate) • Loafers, boat shoes, or dressy sandals • Jackets are not required — it’s the beach General Tips • Expect sun, sand, and ocean breezes — dress for comfort • Choose breathable fabrics and lighter colors • Sunglasses are welcome before and after the ceremony • If you burn easily, consider a light cover‑up or SPF clothing What Not to Wear • Stilettos or thin heels • Heavy fabrics (wool, thick polyester) • Dark, heat‑absorbing colors unless you love a challenge • White or cream color dresses
