    No, if you're on the ship they can marry you anyplace.

    Not at all. Thinking about getting married and honeymooning on a cruise.

    no you marry on land but you can have a ceremony on the boat afterwards. i looked into it awhile back you will also have to comply with which ever countries rules too plus you will need to give them 3-6 months notice usually
