Spending your honeymoon on a cruise is one of the best experiences in the World, however a lot of people think that a honeymoon cruise is too expensive. Well, the truth is that you can save a lot of money on your honeymoon by applying some cheap honeymoon cruises tips and learning how to get the best deal.
You should know that almost all cruise lines offer a honeymoon package that offer a pack of “goodies” for the couple. Each one has its own cost, and you can start by taking note of all the costs of this extra package and choose the one that best fits your budget. Remember that you don’t need lots of fancy stuff to have a great time, focus on the intimacy with your partner during the trip.
Choose an economic package. Cruise packages vary according to what they offer you, most packages include food and drinks - except alcohol. Cheap honeymoon cruises will let you choose the best package for the amount of money you plan to spend. You can for instance avoid fine dining inside the ship and instead enjoy more the scenic view and the peace of the Sea. Packages also let you know exactly how much are you going to spend on your honeymoon.
If you plan to party on the cruise and spend a lot of time outside the room, you can choose a basic deck room. A small room can be in many times the perfect setting for romance, free of the fancy stuff of a big bedroom.
Try to choose a location that is near an economic. If you live in the USA and want to find a cheap honeymoon cruise, maybe that Mediterranean cruise is not such a great idea…
Travel on low season. During low season, the prices of cruises drop considerably. If you can’t find time during this time of the year, you can also check for last minute cruises. These are cheap honeymoon cruises that are less expensive as cruise line try to fill the rooms.
Paolo Basauri invites you to learn all about cheap honeymoon cruises, packages and deals at his Honeymoon Cruises site. Be sure to check out the cruise booking section to learn all about prices and package features.

there are 5 resorts in the Dominica republic
Bahia Maimon
Cabarete
Cofresi
Playa Dorada
Puerto Plata
Sosua
Bahia Maimon is a little further west from Cofresi and comprises a complex of three hotels beside a sandy beach. This quiet resort is perfect for a totally relaxing beach getwaway. It is here that Columbus established his first settlement in the Americas. Unlike the busier resorts of Sosua and Playa Dorada, Bahia Maimon is utterly tranquil and restful, yet still contains the soft sandy beach and turquoise sea that attracts people to the area. A perfect choice for a break away from the rat race, you are sure to leave feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Cabarete stretches out beside a ribbon of fine sand around a sweeping bay. It lies about 30 km east of Puerto Plata and is backed by a meandering lagoon. Watersports are a popular pastime here - particularly windsurfing. There’s also a selection of small gift shops and amenities around the Plazez Commerical Centre. Night-life is focused along the beach where you can find numerous restaurants.
Cofresi lies ten kilometres to the west of Puerto Plata, the capital of the Amber Coast. It was named after an infamous Puerto Rican pirate, Captain Roberto Cofresi - regarded by many as a Puerto Rican version of Robin Hood, due to his practise of sharing his bounty with the needy. What began as a small fishing village is now a stunning resort, with a divine golden sandy beach lapped by crystal clear waters.
Playa Dorada A playground for sun worshippers and golfers, this purpose-built area embraces many top quality hotels and night-spots, a commercial centre and renowned golf course right on the beach and 6.5 kilometres from Puerto Plata town. The central point is Plaza Playa Dorada, a cluster of shops, restaurants and local amenities.
Puerto Plata Founded in 1502, this charming, historic town is the capital of the Amber Coast. Situated at the base of Mount Isabel de Torres, it offers plenty for all ages. Enjoy a walk along the Malecon or take the cable car to the summit of Mount Isabel de Torres with its botanical gardens
Sosua A popular resort on the north coast, Sosua combines a fantastic horseshoe-shaped beach of golden sand with a wide array of entertainment. The laid-back atmosphere is relaxing, yet away from the sands there are abundant souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes and music bars to keep you happy - all of which have a typical Dominican feel.

What to do in Cancun
Watersports in Cancun
If you’re into watersports, then Mexico has plenty to offer. The coastal resorts all cater for enthusiasts and beginners. Snorkeling, wind- and kitesurfing, parasailing and sailing are all available. For a different underwater experience visit the ‘cenotes’ or caves, lying just off the highway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. They’re favorites with divers, snorkelers, and swimmers.
Swimming With Dolphins in Cancun
There are a number of marine parks and resort-based companies that offer the rare chance to swim and interact with dolphins.
Golf in Cancun
Combine sightseeing with a round of golf. Mayan ruins can be seen on some of the scenic courses centred around the resorts.
Cancun Shopping
The best buys in Mexico include silverware, ceramics and locally made pottery, woven wool blankets (sarapes), brightly colored scarves in wool or silk (rebozos), richly embroidered charro hats, straw work, blown glass, embossed leather, hard- and semi-precious stones, gold and silver jewellery, finely pleated men’s shirts in cotton voile (guayaberas), white dresses embroidered with multi-colored flowers (huipiles), which are sold in the markets, and hammocks. And of course, there’s tequila! The best shopping is in Mexico City, Acapulco, Campeche, Cuernavaca, Guadalajara, Merida, Oaxaca, San Miguel de Allende and Taxco.
Cancun Cuisine
Obviously tequila is what first comes to mind, and it’s not surprising with over 200 different varieties. Cancun is home to a restaurant called La Destilleria, an old tequila distillery that was brought from Mexico City piece by piece (supposedly). It features dozens of tequilas for guests to try and buy. In addition to this, no holiday is complete without trying Mexican Fajitas and Guacamole.
Cancun Night-life
Said to be the Ibiza of the Caribbean, Cancun is home to several night clubs as well as salsa, theme and small family bars - and with a resort of 1 million people you’re guaranteed a very lively atmosphere.
