So you have finally decided to settle down and tie the knot with the man of your dreams. Since you were little, you’ve always dreamed of a perfect wedding, capped off with a romantic honeymoon. You have grown tired of those holidays with your friends, and now you’re all set to go on that romantic cruise with your honey. Here are some things you should remember when planning a cruise:

Book early. By early, I mean 3-6 months prior to your scheduled cruise. If you book early, you get the best choice of cabins and save up to 25—50% off.

Pack light. You can never tell, you just might end up having your luggage misplaced somewhere. It’s better to just bring the absolute essentials like thehub and leave your other more valuable stuff at home.

Choose your boat. The most common mistake committed by newbies is booking the wrong ship. Usually, people put all their energies in picking out the destination that they forget to pay enough attention to the boat. Isn’t that what a cruise is supposed to be all about? Consider your budget and priorities when picking out a ship. Some ships have an ambiance more conducive to party people, while some have a more laid back atmosphere.

For any vacation to be successful, all it needs is proper planning ahead of time. Follow the simple tips above, and you’re sure to have a spectacular honeymoon cruise.
