Cruising without a Bruising for your Honeymoon

Newlyweds are taken advantage of when cruising as most are first time cruisers. A few vital things to pack are often the most forgotten and most critical: motion sickness pills, antihistamine tablets, aspirin, and your own digital camera.

While the ship has sea sick medication at the reception / information desk, they often run out mid way through the cruise. They rarely give out aspirin, rather, they direct you to the ship’s store to buy two tablets for up to $5 a packet. The cruise sets many money traps for new cruisers, so get ready. If you are taking a cruise, ask experienced cruisers for advice before you book the trip.

As a first time cruiser, you’ll want to buy every photo of the ship inside and out. These can be as much as $20 each, ten being an additional $200 before tax, hence the suggestion to bring a digital camera as you can take photos of the ship yourself. Alcohol, soft drinks and bottled water are additional. There are upgrades for nearly everything that is not "included" in your all-inclusive package and most newer ships have un upscale romantic restaurant, spa, and room service menu that have an up charge for each service.

Be very aware of excursions, which are your tour shore trips. Excursions often cost more than the cruise itself. Honeymooners will often book these tours, which are non refundable upon booking, before they get on the ship. Most of them will wind up skipping various excursions to spend romantic time togther, because they are way too tired from staying up all night, or are combating a monster hang over from the ship’s many night clubs, comedy shows or casino action. There is an ebook that helps you get the same exciting tours the ship is offering for a fraction of the cost. Check out the link below for more information.
