Princess Cruises to broadcast the Royal Wedding

Are you, by chance, going on a Princess cruise and worried that you won't get your fill of the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton? No reason to fear! Passengers onboard will be able to get their fill on April 29, 2011 when BBC World will cover the entire event and broadcast it on Princess ships.

According to Princess' news release:

"Not only can passengers follow along as the future princess walks down the aisle, but they'll enjoy viewing parties on board as they watch the most extensive coverage of this royal event. BBC is the official wedding broadcaster and has exclusive access inside Westminster Abbey during the ceremony.

The 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.

...Royal Wedding broadcasts are planned for all ships in the Princess fleet, subject to satellite availability. In some time zones, the broadcast may be delayed for viewing at a convenient hour.

The Royal Wedding is one of several special events shown on the Movies Under the Stars screens, including the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards. The giant LED screens are more than 300 square feet in size with a 69,000-watt sound system and have sufficient lighting power to be seen clearly at mid-day and heard even while the ship is moving at full speed - offering cruise passengers a movie experience comparable to the best shoreside movie theater."

For those who have not booked a Princess cruise for this time period but would like to do so, see the bottom of the article for more information.

Bon Voyage!
