Honeymoon cruise help!!!!!

FH and I are newbies at cruising so i need help. all i know is that we want tropical and warm so we ONLY have 3 options for what we're looking at. He will not fly so we have to leave from NY.


NCL 7 Day Bermuda (Kings Wharf) June 13

NCL 7 Day Bahamas & Florida (Orlando, Great Stirrup Bay & Nassau) June 12

Carnival 8 day Eastern Carribean (Grand Turk, Half Moon Bay & Nassau) June 16


wedding is the 10th so i will be taking the 9th and 11th off.

i like the sound of Carnival's but the date is throwing me off. this means i have to go back to work on Mon & Tues the 14th and 15th.

what do you think??

Do the 3 day Bermuda one from NCL! I've been on it twice before and we'll be going again after our wedding in May!

I recommend it because you are in port for 3 days so you have more time to explore the island and you can experience the nightlife, whereas the other cruises you only have a few hours at each stop and nights are usually spent travelling on the ship.

Purchase the 3-day unlimited bus pass at Kings Wharf and head out to Horseshoe Bay- it's my FAVORITE place there!

Boooo, you should come to the Mediterranean with Mike and I on the 14th


I honestly don't know about the different cruiselines. We're booked with Celebrity. But I have to do the same thing......our wedding is the 5th, so I am coming back to work for the 8th, 9th, and 10th. Then we leave for Italy on the 11th.

NCL has got to be the Dawn for Bermuda.

ETA: Probably The Spirit for the Orlando one.

I've been on both and actually prefer the Spirit, but the Dawn is realyl nice, too.

i did the bermuda one on a different cruise line, and had a great time!

the only thing is that there's not really that much to do in bermuda for longer than a day imo

i would say the carnival one honestly

Because the Bermuda one is always the Dawn and I'm taking the same cruise a month before and it's on the Dawn.

omg RC has 9 Night Bermuda And Caribbean Cruise that sounds amazing but $$$$$$$. 1 person is about the price for 2 for the other 2.

for NCl, the 13th is the Dawn and the 12th is the Jewel

I liked the Spirit because it was a little smaller. Dawn is HUGE. Never been on the Gem though.

Re: Honeymoon cruise help!!!!!

I like the Spirit and I like Bermuda alot. However, I'm a big fan of Eastern Caribbean. Those islands are beautiful. Never been on NCL's Dawn, but I've heard good things about it.

Re: Honeymoon cruise help!!!!!

i like the destinations on the carnival the best but carnival ships are geared more towards families/kids than honeymooners....id say option 1
