We looked into doing this for our recent cruise (10-year anniversary). I don't have the price list anymore, but it was something like $300 or $400 for an officiant, and a small reception with 1 8x10 photo included. You could determine who would be able to attend the event on the cruise, but the cruiseline dictated when the event would take place...I think the captain officiated, so it depended on his schedule I guess.
We decided to save our money and for our 15th anniversary, we're going to renew back in Jamaica, where we spent our honeymoon (not the same resort though) and where we've visited several times since.
Has anyone renewed their vows on the ship? If so, what was the cost? What was included? Who officiated? Was it worth it?
I did last year on the Star Princess!! I think it was $250, the least expensive!! It was at 5 p.m. in the Chapel, and The Captain, the Commodor of the princess fleet, officiated!! We had pictures taken with the Captain after, came with the package, Got a bouqet, Bottle of champagne, two wine glasses, a signed card from the Captain, and a letter of the ceremony!! It was beautiful!!
We were once on a Riverboat dinner cruise on our anniversary. The captain came to our table and offered us a Vow Renewal Ceremony under the stars.
George immediately popped up with "No thanks - the original ones are still working just fine!"
Thinking back, I know that, in his own special way, he wasn't renewing, but reaffirming them at that moment. And that was all I needed. he's a sweet man.
lol Canarymoon, my dh has a fear of the vow renewals we get invited to. I know he thinks I will want to renew ours. After 42 years, he says about the same thing yours does, naw, the original ones are fine and still legal, and then I add, true and if there is a loophole in there, I may just want t leave it that way, at which point he usually snickers.
If the church you were married in burned down, or was deconsecrated and turned into something else, are you still married?
Not sure about the answer to that problem, HOWEVER,
The Catholic priest who performed our wedding ceremony in 1965 attended the funeral of my brother-in-law in 1973 with his wife and 2 children. That is when I started researching canon law.

A few months ago we drove by the party place where we got married ten years ago. It looks like it went out of business: fenced in with weeds growing. That's sad, it was a nice place and people were recommending it all the time for events.
