Question about cruising, specifically the Disney Cruise?

I'm in the process of planning my honeymoon next year. I'm planning to do 7 nights in Disney World and then a 7 night cruise on the Disney Cruise line.



I've never been on a cruise and neither has she. So what I am wondering. Do you think I should go on one before our honeymoon? I've never experienced one, so I know nothing about. The agent I am using is helping me with all my questions, but I'm just not sure if I should go on one to see waht they are like.



Want it to be absolutley perfect, so I just wonder if I will be able to give her a nicer trip if I learn a little more about it first.



Thanks for your answer!Question about cruising, specifically the Disney Cruise?
First of all you need to skip the Disney cruise ship for some other, depending on your age. The Disney ship will be full of kids, and the Disney characters. Although there will be lots of kids activities going on, the kids will still be all over the ship and dining room. Take the Disney cruise after you have kids.



Try Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, or Celebrity for a more mature (i.e., 40+) adults oriented crowd of person who have cruised before. Try Carnival if you want to associate with a young crowd and party all day and night.



Cruises can be as romantic as you want them. The staff will bring you meals in the room if you want. Get a balcony cabin for some added privacy and intimacy. If you want to do one before the honeymoon, do a 4 or 5 day one in the Caribbean or out of Calif. Cruises are as relaxing or as hectic as you want them to be. There are activities for you to participate in all day and evening, including a casino if you want to gamble. When ships are in port there are tours, shopping, beach times, etc. that you can participate in. Or, you can just stay on ship and relax.



I don't think you need a pre-cruise cruise. But I don't think you will want 7 days of a Disney crusie after 7 days at Disney World stuff.



I have been on about 12 cruises and have 2 booked for this year; they are wonderful.
If I were you I would do the Disney stuff first and enjoy Epcot and Universal and all of the other great stuff in Orlando. Then I would do the cruise. The cruise ship may have over 2,000 people, but it will not seem crowded because the cruise lines know how to handle crowds.

Thanks again. That is what my travel agent told me to do. So that is what I am planning on right now. But prices aren't out for Disney next year yet, so I'm waiting. Also waiting to price the new cruise for next year. Thanks.
