When the wedding cake has been cut and the guests have bid farewell, the next step is the vacation of a lifetime - the honeymoon. After months of planning, choosing color schemes, menus and bridesmaids, the couple knows that the honeymoon represents more than a few days away. It’s a chance to rest after all the rushing around, stress and exhaustion. A Caribbean cruise is the perfect bridge between the wedding plan frenzy and building a new life together.
With the absence of friends, family and guests, a Caribbean cruise provides the newlyweds with the opportunity to just be “Mr and Mrs” for a short time and look forward to a long and happy future together.
It’s better than staying in a hotel for a week because your location moves from point to point on a map of exotic ports of call. Just when you are inspired by one place, you wake up in a new location with brand new vistas, sounds, and aromas to experience. A Caribbean cruise is better than a driving tour across country because someone else does the driving for you. You can kick off your shoes, relax and watch the scenery go by while you sip on a refreshing cocktail by a sparkling pool.
Honeymooning on a Caribbean cruise is comfortable, practical and offers an endless range of things to do. There is no packing or unpacking, cooking, driving, or navigating unfamiliar territory. There are no mixed-up bookings, airport queues, traffic or wailing sirens. Take a swim, catch some rays, see a movie, play some cards and eat to your heart’s content.
Once you’ve paid for a Caribbean cruise, there is little else to worry about once you’re onboard. Most activities are included in the fare and unless you dine in the non-inclusive restaurants, all your meals are taken care of. You can relax in a stress-free environment where you don’t have to work, stick to a budget or dodge traffic and other vacationers. Onboard a cruise liner, the facilities are perfectly adequate for maximum capacity. No matter how many passengers are onboard, you still feel like an honored guest.
Rather than book a regular cruise on just any ship, scout around for a Caribbean cruise honeymoon special. That way, other romantic starry-eyed, passengers will surround you and the activities will cater to your demographic. A cruise that’s designed for family groups, singles or retirees may put a damper on your celebration.
While you could sail around the Mediterranean or the South Pacific, a Caribbean cruise offers the best you can expect from a cruise, without the lengthy flights to meet your ship. Why spend precious time and money, travelling to your floating hotel? The time is much better spent catching up on sleep or indulging in moonlit romance and you can buy some beautiful souvenirs with the money you’ll save.
There’s a lot to be said for choosing a Caribbean cruise for your honeymoon. Once you’ve bid farewell to your originating port, it’s just you, your new spouse and the open sea and you get to leave all your cares behind.
From swimsuit to cocktail attire, hilarious comedy shows to candlelit dinners, balmy nights to spectacular days, a Caribbean cruise is the best way to chill out while firing up the passion.
