Can the Captain of a Luxury Cruise Liner still marry people?

No, this is one of the most persistent myths out there. Of course everyone has seen "African Queen" where the captain marries Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. But it's really not true.

If you have seen a wedding on a ship, then one of two things was true; 1. the captain was also an ordained minister or justice of the peace or 2. somebody else was performing the ceremony.

Also notice that you have to get a valid marriage liscence on dry land before getting married nowadays.

edit; many cruise lines will make the arrangements for a legal wedding at sea. But just being the captain of a cruise liner does not entitle you to perform marriages.

Yes, I was on a cruise in Feb. 2006 and there were 3 weddings on board ship.

Yes they have a person who can even if it is not the captain.

I think you have to be Pregnant and they keep the Baby. They good for working in small places. :-p Heck, everyone already said yes thought this change the Pace.

Yes, but I think that they have to be at sea in order for the marriage to be legal.

Yep. He's that captain and can still kill you or throw you overboard in protection of his ship. He's the man!

I think so

there was a wedding on my last cruise

yes, as long as the wedding ceremony is performed at sea.

It can even be a small boat, and it is legal, as long as it is at sea.

Yes they can
