How much spending money for HM

FH and I are trying to decide how much spending money we should have for HM. We're going on a cruise and spending 3 nights in San Juan. We were thinking about 2K.

Not enough, too much? How much are you planning to take with you?

Spitzergirl and I are going on the same cruise. Southern Carribean going to St. Thomas, Aruba, Dominica and Barbados.

FH informed me last night, that he planned to bring about 3-4K for the honeymoon. All I know is after I pay off all theses vendors I won't have a dime to my name

I had it in my head that we could do it for $3k.

After all of the souvenirs and nights out, it cost us over $5k

I will definitely bring a credit card in case we end up spending more than we budgeted.

I have never spent that much on a vacation. But *knock on wood* you only get married once so why not live it up on the honeymoon.

You are going to have so much fun! I love those islands. In Barbados make sure u visit the Mount Gay Distilery and take the tour. At the end of the tour u wind up in the gift shop which is a bar and u can buy all the different kinds of rum. They also give u free rum punch throughout the tour. I always spend alot of money in St Thomas because the jewelry prices are amazing!!!!!!! San Juan also has reasonable jewelry also!! If ur anything like me definitely bring your credit cards for backup!!!

I think we're budgeting about $5000 but we have no idea where we're going, so it might be slightly higher. I keep pushing for Santorini, so we'll see how that goes

It is going to cost you more than 2k.. Try somewhere around 3500-4000. The reason is that the air to PR is prety high. and the cruises that leave from their tend to be a little higher than florida.

Go to a travel agent in your area and have them do all the work for you. YOu don;t pay them a dime!!! it is all given by the comany that you are booking with.

I work in the travel industry for a Major Cruise. Line.

Besides if you go to Puerto Rico, you are going to have to worry about your foodma nd drinks.. THey add up. Budget $3500-$4000 and you should be OK....

I can't even imagine spending $4K for 'spend money' on the HM. WOW!!! You girls must be rich Even when we have taken regular vacations, we never spend nearly that much. I am glad we choose an 'All Inclusive' place, because I don't want to be worried about cash. I think we are just taking around $1K or so....

We are definelty not brining that much cash. We never do. We will charge and worry about it when we get home. I am not a fan of bringing away a lot of money. I will end up spending it all even if it is not necessary We are also going to an all inclusive so all of our meals and drinks are included

I am sorry, I voted wrong.....I thought the post was how much are you spending on your honeymoon..not how much spending money


Anyway, we are bringing around 1000- 2000 plus credit cards just in case.

( we are going to Jamaica all inclusive)

our HM is an all in clusive so it was $5500- we are probably still going to take anywhere from $500 to $1000 w/ us!
