7 Reasons to Honeymoon on a Cruise Ship!

Mr. & Mrs. Long on their Honeymoon Cruise Vacation!

7 Great Reasons to Honeymoon on a Cruise Ship!
By Jen Campbell, of Escape Destinations Travel

Many couples choose to Honeymoon on a Cruise Ship now as their Vacation Option, we’ll share with you 7 quick reasons why Honeymooning on a Cruise is really a great idea:

1. Travel the World- Where else can you board and visit so many other countries, many times with not even needing a passport!  There’s hundreds of locations all over the world yet to be discovered by you and your honey. 
2. Unpack Once and Done- Who wants to keep lugging their (you’ve probably over packed like I tend to do) suitcase from one hotel to the next for a tour type vacation…I know, I don’t much care for that.  Imagine you can unpack once and not have to pack again until your ship is back home.  You can sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation as you sail off to a new and exciting itinerary! Think of the wonderful, stress-free environment this will offer you after you’ve spent so much time planning and attending to a wedding.
3. Tons of Food Options- If you’re “stuck” at one resort, the food may get old after a few days of eating the same flair of food.  When you’re sailing to different and exciting ports, food options will always be new and exciting (think Jamaica food specialties like Jerk Chicken and Bahamas with Conch Fritters the next) and you’ll never get bored with all of the food options. Plus many of the beautiful “mega-ships” offer numerous different food restaurants to choose from.  Don’t forget food is included in your price (some of the specialty restaurants charge a small surcharge).  When you mention to the staff that you’re on your honeymoon, they may treat you to a free bottle of wine, an extra dessert or special song!
4. Pick Your Beautiful State Room- So many terrific stateroom options to choose from: budget friendly inside cabins, ocean view, to balcony staterooms (my favorite) to suites.  If you have the money to splurge on your honeymoon vacation, it’s worth purchasing the absolutely best stateroom you can afford.
5. New and Exciting Experiences Available On Board- The options are really endless on the ship. They are continuously offering classes like yoga, cooking or scrap booking, fun dance classes, trivia competitions, bingo, fine wine tastings, dance and game contests, top-notch theater productions,  chocolate covered strawberries or even the spa!  Remember, entertainment is included in your price. And did we mention we LOVE to Spoil our Honeymooners!
6. Budget Friendly- Cruises tend to be a lot cheaper than an All Inclusive Vacation (over-all). Of course you can go all out and spend a fortune, but you can also go for a fairly reasonable price.  Plus, if you book early enough in advance you can make payments on your honeymoon. If you’ve not yet checked out HoneyFund…this is a terrific way for your wedding guests to contribute towards your special honeymoon vacation.
7. Meet New Friends- Everyone’s on the cruise together, to have a fabulous and memorable time.  Your table mates want to get to know you (unless you’d prefer a romantic table for two) so go ahead and hit the dinners in the main dining room and enjoy yourselves. Or, you could meet people in the hot tubs, games on board, night club or even one of the pools.

 
All in all, vacation time (especially for Honeymooners) goes by super quickly.  Whether you choose to stay by land or by sea you’ll create memories to be cherished forever.  We hope our Honeymoon list was helpful to you in your decision making process! We can help you plan that Dream Honeymoon, regardless of the location, should you not wish to stress out about another detail.  It’s what we love to do!!
