Honeymoon cruise for first timers?

[mburg49]

I posted this in the new cruiser section,but it was suggested to post it here as well.Forgive me if this comes across as spam, not the intent.The fiancee and I are trying to narrow down our options for honeymoon cruises in Europe.We are first timers and completely new to this.I thought I had it narrowed down to Celebrity, Amazara, and Viking, but from reading the reviews I'm leery of pulling the trigger on something so expensive.Some of the reviews on Celebrity suggest that some employees can be very pushy on upsells, some have suggested that the rooms with Amazara are not worth the price, and Viking and Princess seem to be all over the place. We are in our late 20s and looking for something that really immerses us in the destinations without completely breaking the bank like Regent.Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

My wife and I did the NCL jade eastern Med/Adriatic cruise from Venice that went to Croatia, turkey and Greece. We stayed in a penthouse Haven suite.

 

MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Best week ever. Go in September if you can. Not as many tourists and weather is perfect. The age range is all over. That is, not for older couples or families. Everyone and everything was on there. For a honeymoon, you deserve and should spend a little more. We set up a honeymoon fund for wedding gifts and got 10% of our cruise covered plus extras people put in for various shore excursions and what not. Unlimited fine dining and drinks. Let's just say we still talk about our honeymoon a year later!

Celebrity is a very good cruise line. I don't hesitate to recommend them.

 

Upsell? It happens on most ships. No biggie.
