x post 2010: Honeymoon options..can't decide

So I have been researching Honeymoons for weeks now and I think I finally have it narrowed down. There are pros and cons to every option...

1. Sandals Grande St. Lucia
2 nights in ultra luxury suite with private pool
5 nights in honeymoon deluxe
$5,522
plus airfare 810
Total: *************** $ 6432

2. Sandals in Negril
2 nights in Penthouse Suite
5 nights in Crystal Lagoon Room
$ 5,075
Arifare 750
Total *************** $ 5825

So with Sandals we won't have to worry about anything except extras because everything's included so that's great but i couldn't help but feel like being at a resort for seven days straight may get a little boring after the 4th or 5th day so I decided to look into cruises

3. Celebrity Cruises
7 night eastern Caribbean cruise
ft lauderdale, san juan, st thomas, st maarten
in suite
$ 5,200
3 nights at Ritz Carlton in 929
junior suite
airfare 500
Total *************** $ 6629

This ship is amazing!!! but we will still have to pay for some meals and drinks because everything isn't included

4. Norwegian Cruise Line
7 Day Hawaii: on pride of America
Honolulu, Maui, Hilo, Kona, Kauai
$ 3182
3 nights@ Turtle Bay Resort 1296
airfare $ 1938
Total *************** $ 6416

This ship doesn't look that great but it's the only one going to Hawaii in June out of all the cruise lines.
But its all inclusive and I really love the idea of getting to go to the different islands and staying at Turtle Bay would be cool too!

So basically I'm torn because while the cruises are more expensive the trip on a whole seems more exciting. But keep in mind I've never been on a cruise so I don't know how it will compare to staying at a resort.
ALso these are prices I have found so if I go through a TA I could probly still save..

SO opinions, comments are welcome especially if you have been on to any of the above!

TIA ladies

Personally I would probably go with Sandals, only because everything is included and once you get there, you won't have to worry about paying for anything. I know it may sound boring to be there the whole time, but they have lots to do, plus excursions and stuff you can go on.... A cruise would be a lot of fun but since you will have to pay for drinks and stuff that will make your bill a lot higher... I think it depends on whether or not you are willing to pay a little extra for a cruise... either way I am sure you will have an amazing time!
