Romantic Cruises

• woman with heart around cruise ship

  Is there any vacation that's more romantic than a cruise? You get to see a variety of places (how's that for "bang for your buck"?), without having to pack up your lacy things and schlep them around. You can stay in bed or on your verandah most of the day, watch movies, get room service, or foray out into the crowd for entertainment and fine dining. Here is our guide so you can get the most out of your next romantic vacation:

  Tips When Booking

  * If your travel agent has a good relationship with the cruise line you've booked, you might get some amenities at no charge.
  * If you plan on buying a celebration package, do it well in advance. Many lines offer several with varying degrees of amenities and there is often little difference in cost between the mid-range and top-level.
  * If you're on a ship with traditional dining and you want a table for two, request it early.
  * Some cruise lines offer couples massages in the spa, and occasionally in your room or suite. These sell out quickly, so book as soon as you can.
