Honeymoon Opinion & Poll

We have had the hardest time trying to figure out where to go/what to do for our HM. For me, the HM is 1000 times more imporant than the reception. I work in the travel industry which makes it worse..if you know too much about something you tend to over-think things.

We did know we didn't want Tahiti or Hawaii BUT we did want something that was all-inclusive (we are both fond of the drink)

Here is the choice:

#1 Riviera Mayan Secrets Excellence for 10 days-Oceanfront Exellence Club Room

OR

Riviera Mayan Secrets Excellence for 5 days (same room type) and then a Royal Caribbean So. Carib Cruise aboard the Adventurer of the Seas for 7 days (balcony suite)

I am getting price breaks bc of my industry discount.

All other suggestions are more than welcomed!!!

i'm not a fan of cruises....but that's just me. i'd go for the 10 days at secrets excellence. cause if you go on the boat for 5 days, drinks aren't AI !

Although I've never been on a cruise, sounds like you'd have the best of both worlds with #2 Britt. Whatever decision you make, you'll have a blast anyway, but I voted #2.

I have been on a cruise and swore I would never do it again although it sounds nice. I would have to say #1

San Jaun, Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten & St. Thomas.

OK-don't laugh but I've actually done this ship and itin before but bc I'm in the industry their isn't much I haven't seen/done in the carib (I hope I don't sound like a total jack @ ss)
I've also been to Riviera Mayan twice.

FH hasn't been anywhere in the Carib other than the Bahamas (which technically isn't even the Carib)

Ugh this is making me nutso

I say cruise combo! We're doing a cruise for 7 nights/8 days and then on land for 5. It breaks up the time a bit so you're not just hanging around doing the same thing over and over, but thats just my opinion

THESE TOUGH DECISIONS SUCK!!!

I like the combo... When we were in DR doin' all-inclusive, we both said it was great, but we would have gotten antsy after a few more nights (we were there for 5 I believe). Thats why we are breaking our HM into two resorts..... so we don't get sick of it.

Secrets Excellence is great, but honestly, 10 days could possibly get boring.

Hey Brittny,
That is the exact cruise I am taking in three weeks.
I say you have the best of the both worlds --

I voted for the combo. I think seeing more islands on a honeymonn is an awesome idea.
