Originally Posted By kimpossible I have not done this but have looked into it myself. Have you checked out disneyweddings.com? They have a section devoted to the cruise line. It appears as though for vow renewals you have a choice of locations, indoors or outdoors on deck 7. The basic package costs $1900 and there is a list of prices for add ons such as photographer, flowers, cakes, etc...I'd love to hear if anyone has first hand experience as I am also considering this for an upcoming cruise.

The big down fall to it and you know that there always is one...is that they only do it on the day you are in port in Nassua. Nothing we want to do as we've never been there and want to go see the sights. They seem to have very few options for the renewal packages. Thank you for post...I appreciate the input!!

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy Oh yeah, and to seriously answer your question, I think people do it as a grand sweeping romantic pledge, as if they're so in love that they're marrying each other all over again. Or something like that.
Originally Posted By DVC_dad <<< ^^^Mr. Romantic strikes again! lol ;-) >>> Yes indeed, it's hard to believe that being married to my high school sweetheart, and having 6 children, I would not understand why people would renew their vows... That's almost as unbelievable as you offering adivice on said subject. Ka-chow!

Originally Posted By DlandJB My parents renewed their vows on their 25th wedding anniversary.

Since they were orignially married on New Year's Eve, they were used to having parties on their anniversary anyway. And this time their kids paid for the party. It was really lovely and it meant a great deal to all of us. I think it is a lovely gesture to reaffirm your vows periodically. 25 years is a nice benchmark.

But I have the same view as your parents did and still do. I simply want to do this because in this day in age where everything seems to be a "who cares attitude" I think it means something to truely be in love and want to celebrate it with your kids. Mabye that makes me naive or old fashioned....who knows. But I do appreicate the advice when I ask a question!

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy I agree, DVC_dad was indeed not bashing. He's not the type unless he or a dear friend is attacked. <Why do people renew their vows?

Originally Posted By DVC_dad Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't INTENDING to bash, if I bashed without knowing it, I apologize.
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy ^^^See? That's how good-hearted he is! lol (then again, when ya know somebody, it's kinda easier to know what they mean)
