Cruise Week Itinerary
Providing Everything You Need to Know for the Week Ahead
March 22nd, Sunday Miami
¡Bienvenidos a Miami!
Welcome to the start of our greatest adventure yet! We are so incredibly moved that you’ve traveled from near and far to help us tie the knot on the high seas. Your presence makes this journey truly special!
🕒 Don’t Miss the Boat!
The ship waits for no one! Please ensure you are All Aboard by 3:00 PM. We’d hate for you to have to swim to catch up!
🍷 Party at the Aft!
Join us in Suite #10503 for a Sail Away Soirée as we leave Miami behind, All are Welcome! Hosted by the Groom’s Mother, we’ll be celebrating from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Since the cruise line has their limits, please BYOB (Bring Your Own Bar-drink) and join us for the fun!
P.S. We’ve got a little 'Thank You' waiting for you there, make sure you pick it up!
🌙 Choose Your Own Adventure
The rest of the evening is yours to explore! As for us? We’ll be busy auditioning every bartender on the ship to find our official 'home base' for the week. We’re taking this job very seriously, so feel free to come help us with the quality control. We can't wait to soak up every moment of love and laughter (and probably a bit too much sun) with all of you.
March 23rd, Monday Celebration Key
We’ve Officially Arrived in Paradise.
Today is all about soaking up every bit of island magic Celebration Key has to offer. Whether you’re lounging on the beach or splashing in the surf, let’s make some waves!
🏝️ Our Island Cabana
We’ve reserved a Cabana in Starfish Lagoon as a home base for the day! This shaded spot is primarily for our elder guests to keep cool and comfortable. Since space is limited, please be mindful of our VIPs (Very Important Parents & Grandparents!).
We’ll be drifting in and out of the cabana all day, so if you don't see us, we're likely grabbing a taco or testing the water!
✨ An Evening of Elegance
After a relaxing day in the sun, it's time for a quick change. Tonight is usually Formal Night aboard the ship. We invite you to trade your beachwear for your finest attire; we look forward to seeing everyone dressed up as we celebrate together in style.
March 24th, Tuesday Nassau, Bahamas
Welcome to the Heart of the Bahamas!
Today is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" day. Whether you want to dive into the island's rich history, lounge on a postcard perfect beach, or indulge in some duty free shopping, the day is entirely yours to enjoy at your own pace.
🇧🇸 Some Tips for your Free Day
Nassau has plenty to offer, but it can be a bit overwhelming when you first step off the pier. If you’re looking to keep a few extra dollars in your pocket and avoid the Shore Excursions desk, here are two things we’ve done ourselves that are easy on the wallet and a fun way to make the most of your free day:
🏖️ The Beach Scene: If you just want to dig your toes in the sand without a long trek, Junkanoo Beach is a short, easy walk from the ship. For those wanting that "clear blue water" experience, a quick taxi over to Cabbage Beach on Paradise Island is worth the trip.
🛍️ Shopping: The Straw Market is the place for souvenirs, but be prepared to haggle. For duty free jewelry or spirits, Bay Street is your best bet.
March 25th, Wednesday
Day At Sea
Full Steam Ahead!
After two days of island hopping, it’s time to kick back and enjoy everything this massive floating playground has to offer. We’ll be taking a "no schedule" approach to the day, but you can almost guarantee you’ll find us lounging around the Lido deck in the afternoon. Come find us for a round of drinks and some sunshine!
🕒 Don’t Miss the Pre-Wedding Rehearsal Dinner!
Dinner at Fahrenheit 555 | 6:00 PM Tonight, we’re treating everyone to dinner at the steakhouse! Just a heads-up: the ship requires Formal Attire for this one. Trust us, we aren't the ones making the rules. Can't wait to see everyone looking sharp.
We’d love to have everyone at dinner, but we know there are a lot of great spots to eat on board! If you decide to do your own thing tonight and not join, please let us know. Otherwise, you might run into a bit of a wait at other restaurants while the ship's system tries to coordinate your seating elsewhere.
March 26th, Thursday
Amber Cove
Welcome to Amber Cove!
A tropical, private getaway nestled along the historic North Coast of the Dominican Republic. This is a brand new destination for both of us, so we’re excited to discover it right alongside you!
⚓ Tips for a First Time Visit
Since we’re all new to this port, here’s the "insider info" we’ve gathered to help you navigate:
🚲 The Long Pier
It’s a bit of a walk from the ship to the end of the pier. Be ready to walk or take one of the many free bicycle taxis.
🎟️ Free Amenities
Entrance to the massive resort style pool, water slides, and lazy river is included for all cruise guests right on shore. Just bring your ship ID and a towel! There should be signs at the end of the pier.
⚠️ Note on "Ship Time"
Please remember to stay on Ship Time! Local time in the Dominican Republic may differ from the ship’s clock. The ship will sail based on its own time.
March 27th, Friday Grand Turk
🌸 🐚 The Big Day in Grand Turk! 💍 🏝️
The moment we’ve all been waiting for! We couldn’t ask for a more stunning backdrop than the clear waters and white sands of Grand Turk. Today is all about celebration, and we are so honored to have you with us for our "I Do’s."
The Day of Itinerary
☀️☕ Bright and Early
We’ll be heading to our ceremony beach at 9:00 AM (shuttles will be provided and leaving the pier at that time). Get ready for some sea breezes, sunshine and a short, sweet morning ceremony in the sand.
🍰🥂 Celebratory Toast & Pictures
After we make it official, we’ll be popping the bubbly and taking photos with everyone right there on the beach. We’ll head back to the ship together, arriving at the pier just before noon.
🚢💨 Reception Aboard!
After we return from the shore, there will be a short break for everyone to freshen up before the next phase of the celebration. We’ll be hosting a two hour reception on the ship to toast our first night as a married couple! We’re finalizing the venue with the ship still and will share those details with you as we get closer to sailing.
🌙🚢 That Evening after Sail Away
Dinner at Cucina Del Capitano | 5:15 PM Tonight, once the island is behind us and we’re back out at sea, we would be so honored to have you join us for dinner to keep the celebration going. We couldn't imagine a better way to cap off this life changing day than by sharing an incredible meal with our favorite people. Please join us for an evening of toasts, laughter, and food as we celebrate the start of our new chapter together!
March 28th, Saturday Day At Sea
Somewhere in the Atlantic!
After the excitement of our "I Do’s" in Grand Turk, today is all about the "Three R’s": Relax, Recover, and Reminisce. We have intentionally left the schedule open so that everyone can enjoy the ship’s final day exactly how they choose.
💤 The Sleep-In
There are no early morning alarms today! Sleep in late, order some room service, and enjoy the gentle rocking of the ocean.
🌅 Golden Hour Toast
Since it's our final sunset at sea, we'll likely be out on the deck to catch the view. It’s the perfect time for a few last group photos before we pack our bags.
🥂✨ Final Evening Vibe
We'll be keeping it casual tonight! We plan on wandering through the various lounges and catching one last show. If we cross paths, let’s grab one final toast to an unforgettable week!
March 29th, Sunday Miami
¡Bienvenidos de nuevo Miami!
As our incredible journey comes to a close and the Miami skyline begins to appear on the horizon, we’ll be preparing to head back to reality. While the cruise may be ending, the memories we’ve made together over the last week will be coming home with us!
☕🍳 Early Morning | Final Breakfast
We’ll be grabbing one last breakfast on board before we begin the disembarkation process. It’s the perfect time for those final hugs and "see you soons!"
✈️🚕 Travel Safe
Whether you are heading straight to the airport or sticking around to enjoy a little more Florida sunshine, we wish you the smoothest of travels home.
🛂 Customs Ready
Have your passports and travel documents easily accessible as you exit the terminal. Most ports have digital self entry/exit so the process is generally quick.
Thank You for Attending
To Our Dearest Family & Friends,
As we prepare to cast off on this incredible journey, we find ourselves overwhelmed with gratitude. It means the absolute world to us that you will be by our sides as we begin our greatest adventure yet.
A wedding is a milestone, but a wedding cruise, now that is a true journey! Knowing you’ll be there with us makes this celebration feel complete. We are so aware that joining us on the high seas requires more than just a "yes" on an RSVP; it takes time, travel, and a shared spirit of adventure. We are deeply moved that you’ve chosen to navigate this week with us.
Each of you has played a unique and vital role in our story. We feel beyond blessed to have our favorite people all on one ship. We are so looking forward to the laughter we’ll share on deck, the stories we’ll tell over dinner, and the lifelong memories we are about to create together.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being part of our story and for helping us launch our new life together with such a spectacular send off. We can't wait to see you on board!
With all our Love,
Savannah & Paul
