After you’ve planned your wedding down the smallest detail and reveled in the
day itself, wouldn’t it be great to embark on a cruise? You won’t have to worry
about whether the ring bearer will behave, whether the relatives at table 14
will get along or if your lactose-free guests will get the correct meal; you
can just relax, enjoy being together, and visit some lovely ports of call.
One important consideration is where to cruise. It’s fun to
learn about all the possible destinations, but give some serious thought to
what you’d like most: spending time on a sandy beach, visiting the ancient
sections of Mediterranean cities, or sledding on a glacier, for example.
Also, talk about the type of ship you want to sail on:
something with lots of entertainment and nightlife, or an elegant vessel with
five-star dining? In addition, your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert can give
you insight into which ships are favored by couples, families, and older
voyagers.
On top of all the regular amenities of a cruise (the
no-hassle dining, sparkling pools, gyms and sport decks, etc.), many cruise
lines extend good wishes to honeymooners in the form of some extra perks.
There’s often an evening reception just for honeymooners, complete with
champagne, hors d’oeuvres and best wishes from the officers of the ship. You
may find a complimentary bottle of champagne in your stateroom as well. Most
ships also offer celebration packages of additional amenities for an extra (but
discounted) fee: these can include luxurious robes for your stateroom, spa
treatments, caviar and petit fours, even some rose petals sprinkled on your
bed.
After you choose your ship, here are just two checklist items:
- If you’re looking forward to a couple’s massage in the spa, reserve your time as soon as possible. Couple’s massages are very popular with honeymooners and long-time couples alike, and these appointments tend to fill quickly.
