Honeymoons are about spending your first days as husband and wife in surroundings offering plenty of entertainment, spa services and opportunities to visit points of interest. Cruise lines cater to honeymooners with such perks as free champagne and chocolate-dipped seasonal fruit. However, cruise lines are not all equal in terms of pricing, age groups and ambiance. - Honeymooners looking for enjoyable pursuits will enjoy Carnival's "fun ships," which offer hours of activities. As of 2010, this moderately-priced line had 24 ships in its fleet, and Caribbean destinations are their primary ports of call. Cabin choice varies between inside, outside, balcony and suites.
