Don’t Just Take Our Word For It.

At the end of the week, my wife and I cried together at one of the sessions and realized that we still cared for each other and had hope for our future together, even though when we started the cruise we were on 2 different pages about many things. We really needed to get away with like-minded couples.
Past Cruise Guest
Exceeded expectations! The sessions & speakers were great content - prompted deep conversations between my spouse & me and also with our friends who were on board with us. The entertainment was fabulous. It was so uplifting to spend the week with thousands of believers and praising God together.
Past Cruise Guest
We were able to reconnect and experienced a renewing of our marriage that feels really good. It’s been years since we’ve been in a safe space and felt an unconditional love towards one another! The sessions were amazing, and we appreciate all the couples being open about their experiences.
Past Cruise Guest
It’s a blessing that we look forward to every year. It’s an investment that is worth every penny. We are always at different points in our marriage and God always has just the right material or person to put in front of us to make us better.
Past Cruise Guest
The LLYMI cruise is/was a time of rest, reconnecting and rejuvenation for us. We never had a honeymoon so this was like a honeymoon for us and the first time we had been away from our children for an extended period of time. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together, meeting new couples, worshipping with other couples & the beautiful ship. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you LLYMI!!
Past Cruise Guest
This was one of the best weeks of our 23-year marriage - the time to invest in our relationship was so rich & our relationship is in a better place than before & I have hope that this time has set us on a new trajectory in our walks w/ God & each other.
Past Cruise Guest
We deeply enjoyed the main sessions, and we’re actually not frequent church-goers, so it was very welcoming and wholesome. It’s leading us into a deeper spirituality and more possibilities.
Past Cruise Guest
We commented several times that we felt like kids again back when we first fell in love! Married twenty years and having gone through some really challenging times, we loved our time alone on the cruise and treasured the work God has done in our marriage to keep us together. We are looking forward to the next twenty!
Past Cruise Guest
It exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere on the ship is just so encouraging to move forward, towards God, in our personal life, and in our marriage.

No. FamilyLife® wants all guests to have the same opportunity to get great seats in our events. Therefore, we have established a policy of no saving seats.

Once in an event, there is no saving of seats for other members of your party, except your spouse. All seating is done on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Some onboard events may be reservable for venue capacity purposes. If applicable for this year’s sailing, details will be provided in a pre-cruise newsletter. Reservations, when offered, may be made by couple only (not for groups).

*The only exception to this policy is for guests who are confined to a wheelchair (for venues where wheelchair-specific seating is applicable). Please go to the FamilyLife Guest Service desk to pick up a Limited Mobility Pass for you and your spouse. This pass does not allow skipping lines and does not guarantee seating at first-come, first-serve events.

How can I volunteer on the LLYMI cruise?
Thank you for your interest in serving aboard the LLYMI cruise. It is not an easy role. Between working 8-10 hours a day, rarely being able to eat in the dining room, not being able to attend sessions or performances, and usually missing port activities, we recognize it is a big sacrifice. Our volunteers come from either FamilyLife and Cru staff or are recommended by one of our leadership team or key volunteer leaders. If you have not volunteered with FamilyLife previously, we recommend starting with one of our local teams working with our Weekend to Remember events. If you are already on a FamilyLife local team, ask your leadership to recommend you to the LLYMI cruise team.
What do I do with my valuables?
We're sure you'll want to bring your camera, jewelry, and other valuable items with you on your cruise. For our guests' convenience and security, a safe is provided in every stateroom and is located in either the closet or a cabinet. Guests use their room key as the key to lock and unlock this safe. Please note, however, that FamilyLife® is not responsible for valuables left in staterooms or public areas on board.
What is not included in the price of the cruise?
  • Items of personal nature (phone calls, Internet, laundry, etc.)
