Honeymoon Idea: Going on a cruise
Image details: Daily Life In The Carribean served by picapp.com
When we think of honeymoons, we think of going to a specific destination for some R&R and of course, for some alone time with our beloved. I have found recently that honeymoon cruises are gaining popularity as an alternative. I’ve had friends and relatives who have experienced a holiday cruise and they said that contrary to popular opinion, there are heaps you can do aboard the ship while sailing from one island to the other!
Why don’t you try it?
Groom Groove gives you the low-down on honeymoon cruises:
Cost: Cool
The cost of a honeymoon cruise can be less than a traditional honeymoon, with 7-9 day, all-inclusive packages starting at about $600. Included in the price of many cruises are: meals, accommodations, entertainment, and activities aboard the ship. The cost of a non-cruise honeymoon would include airfare, accommodations, meals, subsequent travel arrangements at the arrival destination, and activities, all left up to the busy groom. Even many all-inclusive couples packages can�t match the value of a cruise with multiple destinations.
Multiple Destinations: Cool
The non-cruise honeymoon has a bit more freedom. This may seem to some grooms and brides like a plus, but it can be very easy to waste time trying to figure out which destinations on one particular continent or island are worth visiting, and how exactly to get there. On a cruise honeymoon, the just married couple is able to research each stop on the cruise ahead of time and rest assured that everything will fit into the cruise line�s itinerary. Gulliksen tells Groom Groove: �A cruise is a great and affordable way for couples to see the different countries in Europe, especially with the Euro being so strong compared to the U.S. dollar.� Gulliksen explains that the Eastern and Western Caribbean are also some of the more popular routes.

The secret, or not so much anymore on honeymoons is to use a register for your honeymoon. Now if say you were combining two households that already had everything you needed for the house why would you need more. Even if you did not have everything you needed but just wanted to get it later a registry would be something you would like to do for you honeymoon. It is real easy to do, all you need to do is book your entire honeymoon online with the travel company Globetrotting (http://www.yourglobetrotting.com) like you were going to book your trip anyway. After you do that, or before you book your trip, go to the Extra tab on Globetrotting’s home page. From that screen their will be a bridal registry. This is free to set up, and from that you can start having your honeymoon gifted to you. This is a great way for everyone who is engaged to have the honeymoon of their dreams and not cost them an arm and a leg in the long run. The page that you set you registry has testimonials, ideas, samples, and anything you need for questions on how it works. As with anything you should read up on it for yourself, so make sure you check it out. Again that web site that had this was http://www.yourGlobetrotting.com.
