Any tips? We are thinking of taking a cruise from Galveston to the Carribean for our honeymoon?

Question

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. And will it be a relaxing trip? We've never been on a cruise.

Answer 1

Your making an excellent choice taking your honeymoon on a cruise ship & as a owner of a travel agency I've booked a cruise from Galveston to the Caribbean & my clients loved it.

I would especially recommend a honeymoon cruise. Most cruises have honeymoon specials with lots of things that are added on free such as a possible free upgrade to a better cabin or even a honeymoon suite. It's well worth it & you'll remember you honeymoon forever. They even marry on cruises.

Also, check & make sure you get a cruise that gives you a free gift certificate or coupon to spend while you're aboard the ship. These coupons can be as much as $100 pp. & you can spend them on anything that is sold on board.

You should be able to get a honeymoon coupon!!!

Finally, make sure you stop in Cozumel & Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. Playa is right next to Cancun & you'll love the shore excursions. Check with your travel agent or cruise line & usually they will book all your shore excursions & bring your camera!!!

You can horseback ride on the beach, golf, play tennis & engage in water sports such as scuba diving, skin diving, windsurfing & wave runners. Cozumel has a submarine ride with a glass bottom & they have an underwater marine park that is excellent. The visibility underwater is 100 feet & there's plenty of fish life & colored coral of all kinds.

One thing I wouldn't miss is the ancient Mayan Indian Ruins & you can get a tour of these ruins on Cozumel & the Playa Del Carman area. You take a tour bus & it's cheap.

Have Fun & Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

Cruising is the most relaxing ways to travel and see several sights. Once you are on the ship, you don't have to worry about a thing. You can do whatever you want, eat whenever you want and stay in bed all day if you want. I do suggest that you get a balcony because nothing is better then waking up to seeing the ocean or a new port. The only down side I can really think of about cruising is you are in a pert for usually 1 day, so you do see a little, but it is never enough time to really do some serious exploring. I have been on 8 cruises with Princess and loved every one. Princess is more classier then some of the other cruise lines and the prices aren't outrageous.
