29 Mar 10 Relax on Your Honeymoon: Book a Repositioning Cruise

A romantic wedding cruise  is an ideal honeymoon options. Planning and executing a wedding is a stressful undertaking. By the time a bride and groom journey through the ceremony and reception, they are ready to relax and have some quality alone time. A repositioning cruise is relaxing and restorative.

The main purpose of this kind of cruise is to get the ship from one part of the world to another. The ship does not return to the port of origin. The cruises reflect the changing seasons; for example, a cruise ship in Alaska travels to the Caribbean in the fall so passengers can take advantage of the milder weather.

A honeymoon couple may prefer to spend a few days at sea rather than be caught up in the frenzy of moving rapidly from one port to another. They can use destination port as the base for their honeymoon. Cruises can last from 9 to 18 days making them ideal for travelers who have extra time to indulge in a special, memory-making trip. Repositioning cruises are significantly less expensive than traditional cruises. Reduced rates balance out a slightly higher cost in airfare. These cruises are not for everyone, but honeymooners with few time restraints may find a repositioning cruise an ideal way to reignite the spark cooled by wedding planning stress.

28 Sep 09 Wedding Planning on a Budget

Planning a wedding for a down to earth couple can be a real joy. It may be their first trip to the altar or one (or both!) of them may have skipped down the aisle multiple times. In either case, they want a simple, meaningful ceremony and prefer to spend the bulk of their budget on the honeymoon rather than cake toppers and ice sculptures.

What suggestions can you make for people on a budget? A honeymoon is a special event and the happy couple deserves to relax and enjoy their trip and each other.

Encourage them to stay in the country or go no further than a neighboring country, especially if they are located close to the border. If they have their hearts set on an island honeymoon, suggest the Florida Keys or Catalina Island. Look into the Golden Isles off the Georgia and Alabama coastline for cozy bed and breakfast inns.

Have they considered registering for their honeymoon with a travel agency? They could request a donation to the honeymoon in lieu of wedding gifts. Neither the giver nor the couple ever has to worry about returning the gift for something they really wanted.

Another bonus is turning one of those honeymoon photographs into a special thank you card. Instead of “wish you were here”, they can send a heartfelt “thank you for sending us.”
