Budget-Friendly Honeymooning: Why a Cruise is the Perfect Solution

Honeymooning on a Budget: 5 Tips for Cruising

#1. A cruise can actually help you maintain your budget.

• Choose your cruise. No matter your honeymoon budget, Dinogo has the perfect cruise for you. If a 7-Day voyage isn’t feasible, consider a weekend getaway or a 5-Day cruise for your ideal honeymoon escape.
• You control your budget. Almost everything on board, including shore excursions, specialty dining, and beverage packages, can be planned and paid for in advance.
• Book early, pay early. Depending on your cruise duration and stateroom category, you can secure your honeymoon cruise with a deposit as low as $100 per person, with the final payment due 90 days before departure. If you’re skilled at planning, this can give you nearly a year to finance your honeymoon cruise.

#2. Cruises provide added value, making your honeymoon more affordable.

• Sticking to your budget is simpler since there are no unexpected expenses. What’s included in your cruise?
  • Meals at complimentary dining venues
  • Your selected accommodations
  • Transportation aboard your cruise ship
  • Entertainment options such as Broadway-style shows, comedians, live music, and more
  • Access to outdoor pools, hot tubs, sports courts, activities, presentations, art auctions, and fitness facilities

#3. You can easily benefit from discounts and complimentary offerings.

• Dinogo’s More At Sea promotion provides fantastic amenities!

#4. Giving gifts is wonderful, but gifting a trip is even better.

A cruise honeymoon registry is an amazing gift! The Dinogo Honeymoon Registry surpasses the typical registry experience. You can customize your registry to include items that mean the most to you during your honeymoon cruise. Friends and family can help you create unforgettable honeymoon memories by contributing to:

• your cruise fare
• onboard credits
• specialty dining experiences
• beverage packages
• photo packages
• shore excursions
• And my personal favorite, spa gift cards, because you deserve some pampering on your honeymoon!

#5. Discover even more budget-friendly honeymoon tips:

• To reduce overall expenses, choose the embarkation point closest to your home.
• If you're departing from Miami, consider flying into Fort Lauderdale to save on airfare, even with a return shuttle factored in.
• When selecting a hotel for your pre- or post-cruise stay, opt for one that offers a complimentary shuttle to the cruise port. Extra points if they also provide breakfast!
• If you don't feel the urgency to depart right after your wedding, think about possibly delaying your cruise honeymoon by a few months to take advantage of lower shoulder season rates, depending on your preferred travel dates, of course.
