Our Story

The Cruise

Come join us on a 7-night cruise aboard the Carnival Liberty from May 9th to May 16th of 2027.The cruise sails out of New Orleans, LA on May 9th and visits popular cruise destinations including Montego Bay Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel Mexico.We will be getting married at the port of Montego Bay. Please be aware that space is limited at the wedding venue and not everyone will be invited to the ceremony. However, there is no need to worry because the celebration will continue on board.

The Itinerary

This cruise sets sail out of the historic city of New Orleans, LA. Enjoy some beignets, walk around the French Quarter, or spend the night before walking around Bourbon Street. The ship embarks at 3:30 pm before beginning its journey through the Mississippi River before finally reaching the Gulf.

Day 1: New Orleans, LA

The first full day on board is spent sailing the ocean with no land in sight. Enjoy the pools, the casino, and the all you can eat buffet during the day. At night, consider visiting the piano bar, the comedy club, or watching a production show. Whether you are soaking up the sun or playing trivia in the atrium, there is a little something for everyone. Luka's personal favorite is the comedy club while Hannah enjoys grabbing a drink at the Alchemy Bar.Day 2 is the first formal dining night of the cruise. For this night, we would like to take a big group photo on the grand staircase in the atrium. Please plan to wear all black while Luka and Hannah wear white in honor of their wedding. Enjoy a formal dinner in the main dining room afterwards with featured plates including filet mignon, short rib, and more!

Days 2: Fun Day at Sea

Once again, there is no land in sight. Despite the lack of firm ground, there is still plenty to do on board. Feel free to lounge by the pool, play a round of mini golf, or sleep in late during the day before the real fun starts after dinner. Day 3 is the day before the wedding which translates to bachelor and bachelorette parties! Join Luka in the casino for a night of poker and card games. Join Hannah for a girl's night with wigs, karaoke, and clubbing. For both parties, Hannah and Luka plan to celebrate together at dinner before the groups separate for the night.

Day 3: Fun Day at Sea

Land is finally in sight and wedding bells can be heard. Enjoy the port of Jamaica with us as we tie the knot at Catalonia Beach Resort. While not everyone will get to join us as we say our vows, the port of Montego Bay offers several experiences for everyone to enjoy. The wedding will last an hour with the time to be announced closer to the day of. After that feel free to go back to the boat, enjoy an excursion, or simply explore the beautiful country of Jamaica.

Day 4: Montego Bay and Wedding Day

Our second port of call is Grand Cayman, a British Territory and the largest of the Cayman Islands. Enjoy the beautiful beaches, the tax free shopping, or swimming with sea turtles as you lay back and soak up the Caribbean sun.

Day 5: Grand Cayman

Cozumel, Mexico is sadly our last destination before heading back to the United States. But just because it is last does not make it least. Enjoy the coral reefs, swimming with dolphins, or some good old fashion Mexican tequila while on the island. Day 6 also features the second formal night of the cruise with a dinner highlighted by options such as lobster tail and beef carpaccio.

Day 6: Cozumel

Day 7 brings the bittersweet feeling of the fun coming to an end. As you drift through the Caribbean enjoy soaking up the sun before it is gone while reflecting on all the fun along the way.

Day 7: Fun Day at Sea

Welcome back to the United States. This marks the official end of the cruise but the start of Hannah and Luka's life as a married couple.

Day 8: New Orleans, LA
