    “WE RENEWED OUR vows at sea”

    Mar 20, 2020 4 minutes

    It’s not every day you get a chance to make history on a cruise, but when we heard television’s The Love Boat captain was leading a record-breaking marriage vow renewal in the Caribbean, we were among the first up the gang plank.

    Princess Cruises usually has mass-marriage vow renewals every year during Valentine’s week in the Caribbean, but this was special: the cruise line was attempting to beat the Guinness World Record.

    And we did – with 1,443 couples taking part on three ships simultaneously on 11 February, as we recited our vows under blue skies and sunshine on the decks of Regal Princess, Royal Princess and Crown Princess.

    My husband, Nick, and I were where actor Gavin MacLeod – Captain Stubing – officiated as 658 couples re-pledged their troth in a surprisingly emotional ceremony.
