Paper Work Is Here!

Only a few days ago I was saying that our paperwork could come any time in the next month. It came sooner than I thought it would, Saturday morning I was greeted with the thud of a large brown envelope hitting my hall carpet. Seeing that the envelope was address to both Julie and myself I quickly called Julie before she headed to work and opened it with her on the phone. We were both very excited that our forms had finally arrived (one day shy of four months to our cruise).

At first glance the forms looked quite simple and straight forward to fill in, but as with all paperwork, when we read it more closely it raised more questions than we had originally thought of. So my first job on Monday morning will be to call the Weddings at Sea department to find out just what we need to put in all these little boxes.

We have fourteen days to get the forms back to Weddings at Sea, then our next step will be paying for the remainder of the wedding balance. Note, this is a small bill in comparison to when we need to pay the cruise balance in April.

With nothing much to happen now regarding the wedding for the next few weeks, plus with our new windows hopefully being installed (no computer jokes please, I've already heard them) during the first week of March, we will probably be quiet on here for a little while again.

Progress of a Wedding Cruise

It's been a busy couple of months for us. We've been designing our inserts for our invitation cards (keep an eye on the post towards the end of March) and are ready to print them soon. We've also been designing our new kitchen, to be installed while we are away on our cruise. To top all that off we are having new windows fitted in a couple of weeks time.

Thankfully, most of our remaining wedding details will be taken care of for us, all we have to do is fill out a few forms that we expect to receive sometime in the next month. While on the subject of the wedding, we now know which terminals we will be embarking from and disembarking to, for those that are interested these will be the Mayflower Terminal and the Ocean Terminal respectively. It will be a busy day in Southampton as besides the Arcadia (not a small ship herself) there will also be the Ventura, the Grand Princess and the Independence of The Seas... all of them are leviathans in their own rights.

On a final note, a general show of hands has set our Hag Party date for Sunday the 2nd of May. More details to follow shortly.
