Those in United States will have to get up early in the morning to watch the festivities live. Of course there will also be rebroadcasts and news highlights, so you will have every opportunity to watch history in the making.
If you are on a cruise ship, there are many lines celebrating with special screenings and also parties.
We featured one of them in a past blog post: Cunard Celebrates Royal Wedding At Sea
Norwegian Cruise Line introduced Royal Wedding-themed "special dining events" on its vessels that come with an extra charge:
- The Prince and Princess Brunch, at $15 per person, will include eggs poached in champagne and served on English muffins, kippers, scrambled eggs with grilled lamb, toast with marmalade and fruit salad with clotted cream.
- Royal High Tea, at $10 per person, will include an assortment of sandwiches such as the classic cucumber, scones with jam and cream, lemon curd sponge and a selection of cakes.
MSC Cruises will be broadcasting the Royal Wedding in English across the MSC fleet (excluding MSC Sinfonia and Opera, which will not be sailing in European waters). Bars on board will be serving a great selection of champagnes and prosecco together with a special commemorative Royal Cocktail (sparkling wine, cognac and grand marnier).
Princess Cruise Line will be airing the Royal Wedding on the Movies Under the Stars giant screens. Also, onboard viewing parties will add a celebratory flair to the event with British-style refreshments and special royal-themed cocktails. Passengers can also test their knowledge with royal wedding trivia competitions and participate in a William and Kate look-alike contest.
Several cruise ships will be docked in Southampton, England. The ships include Ventura, Independence of the Seas, Saga Pearl II, and Vision of the Seas. CruiseSouthampton.com has posted a special day planner for cruisers that will be in port on the Royal Wedding day. Southampton City Council has designated the newly refurbished Guildhall Square to be the venue to hold a free mass Street Party for everyone between 10am - 4pm. Additional details are available on the site.
The world anxiously awaits the joining of this happy couple in the wedding event of the century. There hasn't been this much excitement since Princess Diana and Prince Charles wed 30 years ago. We'd love to hear your stories about how you celebrated this Royal Wedding, especially if you were on a cruise ship.
