I would REALLY like to know what kind of "wedding" arrangements Carnival
Cruise Lines "propose" to the cruising public.

We just returned from Port Canaveral, off the RCCL FREEDOM OTS, prior to
learning from the groom, himself, that as previously arranged, all wedding
members were scheduled to board the Carnival SENSATION ship at 7 AM for the
wedding nuptials, then required to return back to their hotel and re-board
at the regularly scheduled afternoon boarding time! We had breakfast with a
very confused wedding party. What, not even offering a celebratory
breakfast "bagel reception" onboard? g

Who has heard of such a disjointed arrangement?

Um, how could that happen? BCP has to clear the ship before anyone
can come on board, which sure won't happen before 7. Every wedding
party I've seen usually boards around 10:30 or 11:00 with guests
sailing on the ship already checked in (but with nowhere to take their
fancy clothes). And guests not sailing usually have to be off by 90
minutes prior to sailing.

I stand by what we heard and saw of the wedding party. By 9 AM, wedding
party and guests of the couple were dressed in wedding clothes eating at
Joe's Tiki breakfast bar at the Comfort Inn in Cocoa Beach on the morning of
Sunday, Jan 31, 2010, except the bride, who went to change out of her gown.
They had just returned from the ship, were told they were to re-board at the
standard time of embarkation. When they boarded the transfer bus from our
hotel at 10:30 AM, they had all returned back to street clothes. Believe
it, or not. I thought they were, at first, pulling our leg before we talked
to them, again, later while boarding our own transfer van.
