Can you get married without a license on a cruise ship?

No, you typically cannot get married on a cruise ship without a marriage license. Most cruise lines require couples to obtain a marriage license from their home state or the state where the cruise departs. Additionally, the ship's wedding ceremony is usually officiated by a captain or an authorized personnel, who also require the couple to present valid documentation, including the marriage license. Always check with the specific cruise line for their policies and requirements.
