Congratulations to Sales Consultant Nicola and her new husband Andrew. The happy couple returned from a Caribbean cruise on board P&O Cruises' Arcadia in December 2006, where they exchanged their vows in an intimate ceremony watched by close family and friends.

The ceremony was performed by the Captain, and was later followed by a sumptuous reception in celebrity chef Gary Rhodes' restaurant, Arcadian Rhodes. Nicola and Andrew were overwhelmed with the attentive service they received from staff, particularly their on board Wedding Co-ordinator.

Of the occasion, Nicola said: "We cannot thank P&O Cruises and their onboard staff enough, as everyone worked hard to create our perfect day. Our closest family and friends joined us for the celebration and we couldn't have asked for a better setting. The location, food, weather and most importantly the staff, particularly Sam, our Wedding Co-ordinator, exceeded our expectations.

We were delighted with how smoothly things went, with Sam ensuring we were happy and informed at all times, even looking after the finer details, giving us more time to enjoy our holiday. We really were treated like royalty, and the girls booked hair and beauty treatments in the luxurious spa. The flowers, cake and photographs were exactly what we had hoped for, so the extra luggage allowance for newlyweds was very much appreciated!

I can't stress how easy it has been for us to organise the event from start to finish. We'll be having a party back at home, so that we can celebrate and share our experiences with all of our friends. This will give them the opportunity to see us in our wedding outfits, and we can relive our fairytale day playing our ceremony on DVD and showing off our fantastic photograph album."

Nicola and Andrew strongly recommend a wedding at sea as the perfect alternative to a traditional church wedding. The organisation is taken care of, the destinations offer new and exciting adventures with warm weather, and it's the ideal way to combine your ceremony with your honeymoon.
