Taking A Cruise Make It A Romantic Getaway

Taking a cruise can be one of the most authentically romantic experiences that you can share with your loved one. The water, the stars, the clear sky…these are all things that SCREAM love and romance and make a cruise an excellent choice for an engagement trip, a honeymoon, or just a run of the mill romantic getaway.

Cruises are a great option for a romantic getaway for several reasons. The first reason is that if you take a cruise to spend time with your husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend, chances are that you were not the only one with that great idea. Cruises are a great time to make "couple friends" all across the United States and even the world! Also, cruises are on the ocean away from a great majority of the woes of the world, and it is a great time to reflect on your relationship and put in quality time.

Honeymooners and newlyweds are among the most popular groups of people that come on board cruise ships these days. To accommodate this, many cruise lines will offer perks to couples just starting out, such as wedding cake, breakfast in bed, or special fluffy robes in their state rooms. In some cases, perks like this are freebies, but in cases where there are no freebies available to you cruise lines do tend to offer some pretty neat deals. For example, some cruise lines will give the new husband (or wife, for that matter) the option of pre ordering roses that the crew will place in your cabin or state room prior to your boarding. Still others will offer special tables for two with a view for honeymooning couples on their ship, which is pretty hard to come by on a cruise ship without a reservation.

Carnival Cruises is one of the most popular lines for honeymooners, or even couples who are looking to put the spice back into their relationship and may appear to be honey mooning. Carnival is among those cruise lines that offer free wedding cake to their honey mooning couples at dinner on their first night out at sea. For a fee of course, the Carnival Cruise crew will also decorate your door and cabin with balloons, banners, and flags congratulating the happy couple on their nuptials. Carnival also has a honeymoon package available for purchase that includes champagne and two champagne glasses, tee shirts, visors, cameras and other vacation paraphernalia, as well as drink specials, a framed picture, and a bottle of champagne.

Princess cruises also offers an excellent experience for honeymooners. They decorate the door and the inside of the state room of the happy couple, using Mylar balloons and banners for free, and they have the same free wedding cake offer as the Carnival line. Princess also has two honey moon packages available to their happy new couples. The most inexpensive one is called the Honeymoon Experience and for a little under $150 dollars the newlyweds are given champagne, two engraved champagne flutes, strawberries dipped in chocolate, and two long stemmed roses. The Princess Honeymoon Experience is the pricier option of the two, but it is a good deal, offering the same as its cheaper version, adding a couples massage, fluffy robes, breakfast in bed with champagne, and special hors douevrs delivered to their room with dinner.
