Reply To: could anyone marry us?
Here is a spot where, IMO, HAL wins out over RCI. I attended the wedding of two sea monkeys on JCCC2, when we were still on Holland America. It was a tiny ceremony and just lovely, and not at all what I would call A Big To-do. However, looking at the price comparison of HAL vs. RCI, HAL seems to offer much more along the lines of no-frills than RCI does. The starting price point on HAL is $795 and on RCI it’s $3k+.
When I witnessed my brother’s wedding, they had to travel to N.C. in advance of the wedding to secure the license ahead of time, and the officiant had to confirm where we were down to the county before signing. But that is the extent of my actual experience with wedding law.
