Cruise Vacations for the Hopeless Romantics

By Jim Stockton

The warm sea air blowing through your hair, your lover in your arms, what else could you ask for? Many people think of romance when planning their cruise vacations. Here are some ideas for romance ideas when cruising.

Are you planning on proposing? How about planning your engagement on a cruise ship? There are many cruise ships that allow engagements to occur in the main theater and for a fee, you can play your proposal on the large screen and shock your future wife.

Want to get married while cruising? Getting married on a cruise ship is an upcoming trend and many cruise lines are able to accommodate guests and various wedding parties. There are even wedding planners who make it their specialty to plan weddings on cruise ships. Cruise lines are already designed to host parties, large events and dining festivities. As a newlywed, weddings are very costly and can put a hole in your pocket. However, having your wedding on a cruise ship is perfect because you won't have to rent tents, caterers, decorations, etc. Also, you won't need to hire a preacher because the ship's captain can wed you right on the ship!

If you're already married, how about renewing your vows? Cruise ships are the perfect place to perform a renewal of vows. Many cruise ships have small chapels so that you can perform a renewal ceremony. Most times, a renewal of vows is performed by the ship's captain.

Cruise vacation honeymoons are a perfect way to end a perfect wedding. Honeymooning on a cruise is a very low budget and stress-free way to go to a romantic destination. Many younger couples are going on cruises for their honeymoon because it requires less packing, less money and more activities that are geared towards married couples. Many cruise lines have honeymoon packages which include additional perks like champagne and rose pedals on the bed, larger suites and exquisite after dinner treats.
