Honeymooning on a Cruise Ship

Getting married? There are plenty of wonderful destinations
for your honeymoon. But how are you gone get there? Did you ever
think of a cruise ship? Believe me - it's the best way to start
your honeymoon. In fact it is the best way to start your
marriage!


Every year, thousands of couples get married. If you're planning
your wedding, it is likely that you'll plan a honeymoon as well.
Honeymoons are often looked upon as vacations. In a sense, they
are. But there are two major differences. Number one: romance is
in the air. Number two: no kids. The bride, the groom and plenty
of time. That makes honeymoons fun, exciting and memorable.

As previously mentioned, you have a number of different options
when it comes to planning your honeymoon. Many newlyweds
schedule their honeymoons at popular beaches, ski resorts, or
other secluded areas. Did you know that you can also have a
honeymoon aboard a cruise ship? Cruise ships are increasing in
popularity, but still many individuals do not consider them as a
vacation option. And that's a shame.

You'll be amazed!

One of the reasons why cruise ships are rarely thought about
when selecting a vacation destination, let alone a honeymoon, is
because of their cost. A cruise is considered to be expensive.
Well, I´ll let you in on a little secret. They don´t have to be.
The competition in the cruise line industry is killing. If you
play your card smart, you can be the one that benefits. Do a
Google search on discount cruise ship tickets and you´ll be
amazed!

Those discount tickets are usually sold fast. So here is the
rule. First of all decide where you wane go and set your budget.
Then sit down and do your homework on the computer (or with the
help of a travel agent). Once you see an offer that fits your
needs, do not hesitate. Jump on it and celebrate. You just made
a dream reality!

Take it from a pro

Let me raise another question. Are cruises actually pricy? It is
important to examine the activities available onboard and the
length of the cruise. The longer the cruise and the more
services available, the more expensive tickets are likely to be.
If you take the time to figure out all the services that are
included and the cost of overnight accommodations, you may see
that cruises aren't all that expensive after all. Do the math
and - again - you'll be surprised.

Once you've made the decision to spend your honeymoon onboard a
cruise liner, you'll have to book reservations. When examining
cruise ship destinations, look for the possibility for romance.
As your honeymoon is supposed to be a romantic and relaxing
time, you'll want to select destinations that will keep that
spirit alive. Those destinations are all over the world. But
take it from a pro: for newlyweds the Caribbean is the place to
go. There are over 7.000 islands. Pick a couple. No matter what
islands you'll be sailing for, there will be sandy white
beaches, the friendliest people you can think of and lots of
rum. You can't go wrong here.

Amorous and intimate

Before I forget: take a close look at the type of cruise you
select. Most cruise lines have ships that are targeted to
seniors, risk seekers or families. Stay away from the last two
mentioned. Remember: you are searching a private, amorous and
intimate setting. Hard to find whit kids all over the swimming
pool or adventure junkies bungee jumping from the upper decks...
