Your Honeymoon - What should I do? Where should I go? Part 4
One of the most amazing vacations I have ever been on, was the first cruise I had ever taken. I didn’t know what to expect and it was so unbelievable and breathtaking…well…let me continue or I’ll be here all day and you’ll never learn about this for a possible honeymoon destination.
Cruises are very popular for honeymoons. Like I had said in another blog, my daughter and her spouse went on a Caribbean Cruise for their honeymoon and then stopped at Walt Disney World for 4 days. They felt it was the best of both worlds.
Basically, a cruise is a floating 5 star hotel. Well, some cruise lines are 5 star! My favorite is Princess, with Royal Caribbean a close second. I’ve been on them all, so that is through my personal experience. The only cruise lines that I haven’t been on are the high end ones, like Crystal Cruises. But they are in a realm all of their own. For what they offer, if you have the money, it may be worth it for you to look into.
There are many different options available to you on a cruise with regards to accommodations. Other than that, you eat the same food, drink the same, enjoy all the ship’s amenities, etc. When you pay more, you are paying more for the kind of room you choose. I personally couldn’t take a cruise unless I had a balcony. Just my preference. But then again, I get a bit claustrophobic…so be it. There are inside rooms that have no window or balcony that can be so much less expensive than staying a week at a hotel with food and activities.
On a cruise, you’ll stop at 2-5 ports of call. This is fascinating to me and can be very enjoyable and very romantic. When you visit each port, there are excursions that you can take (yes, for an extra fee!). If you opt out of the excursions, be very careful where you go. There are some ports (Belize and the port in Columbia) that you have to be very careful. There are taxi’s and others just waiting to prey on unsuspecting tourists to rob them or worse. The ship is there for your enjoyment. They are not there to protect you, so be very wary of doing anything on your own.
Cruise locations can be in the U.S. traveling up the Mississippi River or through the glaciers of Alaska, to the far reaching points of the Orient and everything in between. Although just about everything is included in the cost of your honeymoon, just be sure and ask what is not. That way there will be no surprises.
Tomorrow I will discuss all inclusive destinations. But check out the cruises first. And don’t worry about getting sea sick! With today’s sea bands and medications, you’ll be fine. And if you’d like to know exactly what I use, write to me at my website and I’ll let you know personally. Oh yeah, and while you’re on my site, check out my unique wedding favors! You knew I had to throw that in! What can I tell you? Wedding favors is my middle name!
