Is cruising right for honeymooners

sue miller · 05-09-2005, 02:07 PM

I can't imagine a better honeymoon, unless you are looking for total seclusion!! You can spend as much time in your cabin as you wish, with a do not disturb sign on your door, or join in on the festivites.

Generally YES............but if you are suseptible to motion sickness..........I wouldn't risk it. Last cruise a newly wed couple got off the ship at the first port of call.........wasn't a very good honeymoon I guess

We were on the Ocean Princess for an 11 day cruise for our honeymoon.. Couldn't have spent the money any better anywhere...

We have several honeymooners cruising now. Maybe they will let us know how it went.

I would think that it would be a great honeymoon. You never need to leave the ship or your stateroom..

My daughter and fiance are going on the norweigan Jade this summer 8/23 cruise out of Southhampton. The prices couldn't be beat! they are planning to do a couple of beach days is certain ports and then may spend 3-4 days post cruise at a hotel-best of both worlds!

This is a bit off topic but one my DH and I still think is funny:

We stayed at a hotel in the night before the cruise and met in the bar both the parents of the bride and groom who were also staying that night (honeymoon night) at the hotel.

Their children (bride & groom) were taking a the same cruise we were the next day. Guess what! Both sets of parents were going with them on their honeymoon cruise.

They said, "We feel better about going with them because they may get confused and not know what to do!"

Lulu, that is similar to what clients of mine are doing. Second marriage for the bride, first for the groom but they have arranged for a Group Honeymoon. They want as many of their friends and family as can, to join them on the cruise.

In answer to the topic of whether cruises are good for honeymooners. Yes, BUT, keep in mind that on many of the longer cruises in the Caribbean, the average age of the guests are much older than the average age on 7 nite cruises.

We sailed on a fabulous itinerary on the Celebrity Constellation in November 2008 to Panama and Costa Rica, etc. It left on a Monday- perfect for honeymoons! 11 nite cruise with 6 days at sea- again perfect for a relaxing honeymoon. Average age of the guests were probably around 65 and there were only about a dozen honeymoon couples on the ship.

Check with a travel agent for advise on which cruise line and which ship to take for your honeymoon cruise. Some might be better options than others.
