Vote for my Honeymoon!

[UCLABelle]

So, we have decided on a few, pretty different honeymoon options...

Please vote on your fav!

 

[Pandora II]

Hmm, London doesn''t say ''relaxing honeymoon'' to me I''m afraid. Mind you I may be biased as I live there!

I would go with option A closely followed by B.

Save London for a trip later in life with kids! FI and I keep having to borrow children to go to the zoo, museums etc here because they are so much more fun!

 

[shimmer]

Ditto to Pandora!!! Option 1, very very closely followed by option 2.

Either sound amazing, which cruise would are you looking at, any one in particular? I was scoping those out the other day and some of the destinations are stunning...that may just sway my vote to #2.


ETA: I think the time of year would make a difference to me, when will you be taking your honeymoon?

 

[zoebartlett]

Yep, those are very different types of honeymoons. All three sound great but I voted for #2 (the European cruise). It seems the most different out of all your choices. If I was going to go somewhere tropical, I''d want to be able to explore the town/island, etc., and I''m not sure if St. John is suitable for that. I''ve never been so I can''t say. I just know that some people recommending not leaving particular resorts, dpending on where you are, and that doesn''t sound like fun to me. I love lerning about other cultures so London would be great. It''s a greata city with tons to do, but as Pandora pointed out, it''s not relaxing. To me, the European cruise offers the best of both worlds -- travel, leisure, culture.

I say Virgin Islands. Having lived in London and nearby for a couple of years I add my voice to Pandora's that London does NOT scream 'honeymoon' to me. Hectic, crowded, dirty, not particularly beautiful. London is a place for EXCITEMENT and history and amazing museums and shopping, but not a place to be blissfully in love.

Again, a cruise through Europe seems wrong to me. You might see a few random sights, but you won't get any of the atmosphere, won't be able to explore the food properly, and you'll probably be zipping through so many countries that you won't get a feel for anything. Frankly, I think that would be a waste of time and a waste of Europe. Not to mention hectic!

So, that leaves the Ritz!

The European cruise, in a heartbeat! Here''s why; you get to relax on the boat while you''re at sea at the pool or in the room (

), but when you''re docked, you get to see a bunch of amazing places in Europe you might not have the time/resources for otherwise.

 

[zoebartlett]

Oops, I meant to say St. Thomas above, not St. John.

It just depends on what you guys enjoy. My husband and I are not the most "relaxing" type, so I''d probably go to London, but not for the entire week. I''d take a train to Paris or wherever else you can go. We love the Caribbean, but we don''t tend to sit on the beach all that much. Are you guys more the relax on the beach type or do you love going to museums and fitting as much into your trip as possible?

European cruise.

It seems to be the longest option. I''m not a huge fan of Disney. And though I loved London, I agree with the rest that touring the Tower of London doesn''t scream "honeymoon" to me.

If I had unlimited time and money, I''d cruise around in Greece, probably. Where does the European cruise go?

I picked the European cruise as well. Cruises are romantic. Second St.Thomas.

Me too!

eh.... we have different tastes in vacation. I hate Disney (sorry!) and the only cruise I went on was disappointing and I got sick, and I LOVE London, so London got my vote!

Ritz, Virgin Islands! I don''t understand how Disney gets thrown into the mix though, could you elaborate, UCLAbelle?
