Cruise Ships: A Romantic Getaway for Couples
With large workloads, hectic schedules, and children, many couples need a break from their daily routines. This break often comes in the form of a romantic getaway. If you and your partner are searching your next romantic adventure, you may want to examine the possibility of taking a cruise.
When it comes to romantic getaways, there are many who don’t even consider a cruise ship as an option. However, there are others who literally live for cruises. These couples are likely to take two or more cruises each year. Whether you’ve been on a cruise ship before or not, it is possible for you and your partner to have a romantic cruise ship getaway.
Before booking a cruise ship getaway, you are encouraged to consider a number of factors. These factors are important when planning a romantic getaway aboard a cruise ship. There are a number of different cruises ships and cruises lines. You may be unable to enjoy a romantic vacation if you are on a cruise ship that is overrun with children.
If you are interested in having an intimate, relaxing, and romantic cruise, you are encouraged to search for a cruise ship that has an age limit for its passengers. These cruise ships often restrict children from coming aboard. Many times, cruise ships with a passenger age limit target their voyages specifically to couples looking for romance.
While it is possible to find a cruise ship with an age limit for their passengers, you may find it a bit difficult. If you are unable to find one, inquire as to where couples with children will be placed. A number of popular cruise ships work to keep families and individual couples separated. If this policy is in place, a cruise line is likely to state the policy on their website. The same information can be obtained by directly contacting a cruise ship representative.
The size of the cruise ship you are interested in vacationing on is also likely to determine the level of intimacy onboard. If it is intimacy that you want, a smaller cruise ship may be your best bet. Larger cruises ships have more passages and more passengers often make it difficult to have onboard, private moments. A number of romantic cruise lines target their smaller cruise ships to couples looking to vacation alone.
In addition to the size of the ship, the ships style and décor may determine whether or not you can experience romance onboard. As previously mentioned, there are a number of cruise lines that target couples looking to vacation alone. Part of that targeting may include creating a romantic environment. On romance themed cruise ships, you may find romantic cabins, room service, and other similar services.
Vacationing aboard a cruise ship is a great way for you and your partner to spend quality time together. When selecting a cruise ship to vacation on, the intimacy off the ship is just as important as on the ship. Almost all extended cruise ships dock in a port. These ports are often located in another country, but not always. To make the most out of your vacation destination, you will want to consider a cruise line that offers stops in romantic ports. These ports may include, but are not limited to the Bahamas, Hawaii, or the Caribbean.
The Bahamas, Hawaii, and the Caribbean all have a number of cruise ship ports. Additional ports can be found in the Untied States and overseas. What many passengers enjoy about these particular ports is their climate. The climate and the overall weather could have an impact on the romance aboard your ship. Tropical weather tends to add to the romance in the air.
Cruises ships are often viewed as large, oversized vessels. In addition to traditional cruise ships, it is possible for you to take a local cruise. If you are looking for a romantic getaway, but you fear the cost of an expensive cruise, you are encouraged to look into local cruises offered near your home. These cruises often involve dinner, dancing, and sometimes an overnight stay. They most often occur on a large river or a lake.
Now that you know what to look for when booking reservations for a romantic getaway aboard a cruise ship, you can start making preparations. With a small amount of time and research, you could be sailing the seas in luxury, with the one that you love.
Cruises sound awesome. Want to plan a future cruise, maybe for my honeymoon. I was wondering, do you know if any cruises allow pets? Would love to be able to bring my dog with me.
Day cruise on lake mead. or Dinner Cruise. Romantic without the long term commitement to being offshore!
Reading your post above made me remind when I proposed my wife in cruise ship six years ago. Very romantic candle light dinner I have in the cruise.
My wife and I have dreamed of taking a cruise for so long and I am hoping this economy will make a turn around soon so we can get things back in order so we can in fack go. I am sure with a little preperation we would have a great time. Thanks for the tips to make it the best.
In my opinion a cruise is the only way to holiday and i think you portrayed the magic and romance involved perfectly. I cant wait to take my wife on our next cruise around the med.
Cruise Packages are a bit expensive but If you find an affordable Cruise deals would be the best choice for a vacation.
I’d like to cruise to exotic Hawaiian islands with my husband:)

Cruise is really a romantic getaway for couples
I have never been in cruise…though i am married…it is just a question of money
Cruises make me think of the Love Boat. So many places that these cruises visit, cruising is not for everyone though most people should at least give it a try.
Cruise is really a romantic area for couples,i love to travel on cruise to enjoy my life.
A cruise can be very romantic, just think about the Titanic movie before it sinks, I was not kidding, I mean the atmosphere. The biggest downside is that you cant stroll around as much as you want.
i just had our 2 year anniverssary trip to bahamas …it was one of the most romantic getaway ever…
I wanted to take my partner away for a month and visit a few different places. Being on a budget my plan was to just travel to a place book accommodation when we arrive. I then decided that option wouldn’t be so romantic and perhaps not so intimate. Now I am considering just a two week trip but going on a cruise. This way we can stop at different places but have the same room to go back to each night. I have researched online different cruise lines and some are so perfect for romantic getaways. Now I’ve really got my heart set on a cruise. I think they can be so special and I can just vision the scene now from Titanic when Jack tells Kate she is flying. I’m sure cruise lines get a lot of that scene being re-enacted by couples deeply in love. My friend spent 5 years working on a cruise ship and she said she loved every minute of it. They are peaceful, private and relaxing, just want you want for a romantic getaway.

Small cruise packages expensive. Thus, we can stop at different places, but in a room, returning each evening.
I am planning on taking my wife on a 2 week cruise for our next anniversary. I have been on a cruise before but not my wife, I think this will be a great surprise. Great article, thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love cruises. I like having everything in one place, eating, sleeping, playing. And being out on the ocean watching a sunset without the bugs…just great!
I have been to the Bahamas on a cruise twice and once I flew and stayed in a hotel. And I will tell you, the cruise was much better. The price of taxis is outrageous there…and so is the food.
Taking a cruise is taking a real vacation. There are no worries, the food is made for you, the destination is taken care of, the entertainment is all scheduled, and you can participate in as many or as little as you like. What a great way to relax.
I’ve been lucky enough to go on a couple of cruises and although I thought I wasn’t going to have a great time, they turned out to be one of the most relaxing yet exciting vacations of my life. We went to the Med on both occasions but would love to go on one from Alaska.
I am one of those people who had not really thought of a cruise as a romantic vacation. Maybe I’m just too young. When I’m older I’ll probably try going on a cruise with my special somebody. I would worry about it being awkward seeing all the same couples over and over as we try to get romantic.
I had always had the ignorant view of cruises being restrictive and boring. I hadn’t really considered how relaxing it would be without having to spend so much of your vacation commuting around trying to find things. One of these days I will have to take my special someone on a cruise.
A cruise is a perfect vacation for any traveler. Perfect example is my recent trip in which I took just last week. This cruise my wife and I invited 9 of our family members. In trips past we have just traveled with the two of us. We had in-laws in their 60’s and a new family with a 5 year old daughter. The cruise provided a fantastic experience for our older and younger passengers and those in between. A cruise can be whatever you want it to be. An active schedule with endless activities or as mellow and relaxing as you want it to be.
Hi, I spent 15 years working for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines I have seen lots of change over the years. A modern cruise ship is so big and varied it is perfect (in my opinion) for big groups or romantic couples. They have made these ships now so that you can get what you want when you want, peace and quiet or noisy parties, you can decide when you get there.
I would love to go on a cruise, my friend and her husband go on one every year and they love it. Trouble is I have four kids and no money! Still, maybe one day.
great post. I really enjoyed reading it.
The Problem of me going on a cruise is I’m in the Navy. I have a bad feeling I wouldn’t enjoy life on another ship. Everyone tells me it’s totally different from the Big Grey Navy ships, but I don’t want to spend all that money unless I’m positive it’s not.
Hello from Russia . Great Work . Keep Posting Awesome Articles Like This .
The question about childrens is really important if you want a romantic cruise, another important question (for me) is the price
My wife and I want to go on a cruise this year or next and I really appreciate your tips. I can’t wait!
I took a cruis to the caribian islands 4 weeks ago.We dit st thimas, st lucia, etc , the classical tour. Alle these ports are a touristtrap. You have one nice street filled with stores for the tourist. ( jewelers, jewelers, and more jewelers, since it is taxfree ) Once you come out of this area, everything is dirty, dangerous, and not very attractive. Not the white beaches you had in mind before the tripp.
I have never been in cruise…though i am married…it is just a question of money
I have never been on a cruise although I always wanted to…thanks for the tips…shall keep in mind when I plan a trip, maybe next year
