honeymoons under $7000

i need some suggestions. fh and i can not for the life of us make up or minds.. we have a budget of 7000, not including our food and drinks. we're right in the middle of hurrican season, so i wanna stay away from the caribbean. we thought about hawaii b/c fh has always wanted to go there, but to be honest.. i dont. and fh wants us both to be excited about the honeymoon.

so HELP!! our only requirments are; under $7000, minimum of 2 weeks, we dont want to lay on a beach for 2 weeks we will be bored out of our minds! but we do want some relaxation! so maybe a place that offers us a beach, but also sightseeing and entertainment???

we've thought about that, but were not sure if its possible to do europe for 2 weeks under $7000. weve been looking at a whole bunch of places trying to get quotes but its so confusing

have you considered an all-inclusive or making one week of your honeymoon a cruise? that would help keep costs down

we have. the only problem is they're really no all inclusives outside of the caribbean. we had originally thought of staying in sandals whitehouse for 9 days then taking a 7 night carnival cruise.. but the more we thought about it, the more we didnt want to chance going to the caribbean in the middle of august. but fh would love an allinclusive if we could find a nice one

i actually didnt even think of that! i figured since flights arent available for my date yet, travel agents wouldnt be able to help me. i might have to try that out

we are doing sandals st lucia in august -- aruba is supposed to be very safe and st lucia close behind it because they are outside of the hurricane belt. most cruises would probably be going to places that aren't so safe though

I work with a lot of Greek women and it seems airfare minimum per person to Greece in the summer is $2000... so that takes away a lot from the honeymoon

How about Aruba? I hear they have great weather all year round

Aruba is outside the Hurricane Belt.

The Weston is a great all-inclusive there.

i recommend contacting Travel Tom! when I booked a surprise vacation for FH a couple of months ago, I didn't know where I wanted to go. I had an idea of the type of vacation and the budget and he really ran with it and gave me all of my options. He ONLY posed options that were within my budget. FM me if you'd like his contact info!

You can do Europe for two weeks if you take a cruise. There are a lot of them to choose from and most things on the ship are included. A cruise also gives you an opportunity to relax by the pool on the ship or on the beach in places like Santorini but then also explore old towns of Europe or the Mideterranean. And for both of you, it will be under $7000 and you do not have to worry about the exchange rate either. Good luck!

That's a healthy honeymoon budget. Lucky you!!

What about Aruba? They're out of the hurricane belt.
