Is Wedding Planning Stressing You Out? Take A Relaxing Honeymoon Cruise After You're Married

Today?s modern wedding is no longer a simple affair like when your parents got married. Often planned for months, the average wedding ceremony has become an elaborate event that often leaves the bride and groom stressed and exhausted after the big day finally arrives.

To recover many couples go on a honeymoon cruise. Why take a honeymoon cruise? Well, for starters a cruise is all inclusive in that your room, food, entertainment and cruise activities are included in the price of your ticket (Note that drinks and any side excursions usually do cost extra).

You get to visit different exotic countries or islands without the hassles of having to make extra travel arrangements as the ship takes you right there and you only have to unpack once.

You can be as active as you want as a cruise has more activities than time in the day to do them all or you can choose to just kick back and relax all the while be waited on hand and foot.

Most cruises have honeymoon packages that range from something simple like flowers in your room to elaborate honeymoon packages that include private honeymoon suites, special dinners and spa treatments. If you are interested in a special package see what your cruise line offers and make the arrangements before departure. Sometimes you can get a package once onboard but to be safe book any extras when you purchase your cruise tickets.

What can you expect as newlyweds on a honeymoon cruise? Some cruise lines host their own version of the Newlywed Game while others will treat you to cake and champagne in your room when you first arrive. You can even have an intimate dining table for two set aside for those private dinners with your beloved.

When picking the perfect cruise for your honeymoon ask yourselves these questions:

Where do you want to cruise to?

Popular honeymoon cruises include the Bahamas and the Caribbean but don?t forget Alaska and even Hawaii as possible destinations. If you can think of a spot in the world chances are it is visited by a cruise line.

How long do you want to cruise?

You can go on 3 or 4 night cruises, a 2 to 3 week trip or an around the world cruise that spans months.

What will your honeymoon budget allow?

Do you want a shorter cruise in a luxurious stateroom with private balcony or would you rather have a longer trip but in a smaller cabin?

Do you want any extra honeymoon packages?

As these vary by cruise line you will need to see what each offers and then make your decision.

Once the knot is tied the last thing you want to do is be under even more stress during your honeymoon. You will find a honeymoon cruise to be just the ticket for unwinding together after the months of planning as you start your new life together.
