What's Involved With Honeymoon Cruise Packages?
By Randy Wilson
With so
many honeymoon cruise packages to choose from, it can be
difficult to decide which one will provide the most romantic and
relaxing environment for you and your loved one. The following
tips should be helpful to anyone planning for honeymoon cruise
vacations.
Be sure
to specifically inform your travel agent that this will be a
honeymoon cruise; the cruise line will usually prepare special
gifts for newlywed couples.
Decide
with your new spouse the general area you would like to visit.
When people think of honeymoon cruise vacations, the Caribbean
Sea is usually the first image that comes to mind. Most cruises
do tend to cater to the sunbather, but there are incredible
honeymoon cruises to hundreds of areas around all continents of
the world. Consider them all before you leap forward with your
plans!
Think
about the size of the vessel before you book. The larger ships
can host 3,000 passengers or more. It is literally like a little
city on the sea! For a more private and personal setting, there
are some which carry only a few dozen people at a time. These
smaller yachts, however, are more unstable during storms and
heavy winds. This turbulence can make some people nervous or
even slightly ill. It's just something to keep in mind.
In
addition to the vast list of amenities included in honeymoon
cruises, there are items and activities which are billed
separately. Some or all of your liquor and dining costs, plus
casino games and souvenirs from the gift shop, are not likely to
be included with the actual honeymoon cruise package. Keep these
types of expenses in mind when you budget your vacation.
Carrying
cash is risky, so it is common for the company to include a
shipboard account which can be used to pay for any expenses you
might incur during your voyage. This is much safer than carrying
bundles of cash, but do resist the temptation to go "overboard"
with your tab!
Be
attentive to the clothing you bring along with you on the
cruise. Most of the day will be very casual, with bathing suits
and casual summer wear being the norm; however, many honeymoon
cruise packages also include at least one night of formal
entertainment where a dress code is in effect. The ship may also
shore up in regions of the world where fairly conservative
attire is expected from visitors. Bring a nice variety of
clothing and you should be just fine.
The most
important piece of advice is to thoroughly plan for everything
in advance. If you're fully prepared, your honeymoon cruise will
be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable times of your life.
