Choosing a cabin
Interior, oceanview, balcony or suite — what the difference actually buys you on a wedding sailing.
The Cruise Bride coordinates the sailing, the cabins and the guest travel. The cruise line runs its own wedding program where one is offered.

Interior cabins are the reason cruise weddings are affordable. They are windowless and dark, which some people love and others find unbearable. If you are on the ship for the celebration and expect to be in the cabin only to sleep, the money is better spent elsewhere.
A balcony is the upgrade that changes the trip. Coffee outside in the morning, somewhere to sit when the ship is busy, and on Alaska sailings it is close to essential — the scenery arrives while you are still in your dressing gown.
Location matters more on a wedding sailing than a normal one. Midship is steadier and closer to everything; being on the same deck as the rest of the group turns the corridor into part of the wedding.

Questions couples ask
Answers before you commit to anything
Most people do not on a large modern ship. If you are prone to it, choose a midship cabin on a lower deck and bring remedies you already know work for you.
Many cabins sleep three or four with upper berths or a sofa bed. It is a significant saving and a significant reduction in space. Fine for a short sailing.
Yes, and they are limited and go early. Tell us the requirement as soon as you know rather than at booking time.
