The Other Couples Factor: Cool/Lame

A honeymoon aboard a cruise ship means that the now husband and wife duo will be encountering many other faces, and potentially other recently-hitched couples during their stay. This can be a great way to form friendships that might survive the final docking; it can also prove tedious as other couples are aggressively trying to forge a friendship with you and you couldn’t be less interested. It happens. The convenience of the boat can suddenly turn into “husband and wife overboard!” if this begins to eat away at your long-awaited “together time”.

The Romance of the Open Water: Cool

Says Gulliksen: “A cruise is inherently romantic; out at sea…watching sunsets together” True, the cruise honeymoon isn’t just about being relegated to an area that caters to your every need and delivers you to the most desirable destinations - it’s also about experiencing your first vacation as husband and wife out on the ocean. The thought of your friends and family seeing you off, and setting sail in the great waters of the world could inspire romance in even the most anti-romantic of hearts.
