August Honeymoon

CaylaSummer

Hi ladies,

If you went on your honeymoon in August, where did you go?

My FI and I are planning our honeymoon right now, I feel like we should have booked a month ago since our wedding is early August. We don't want anything super expensive, I know its cheaper to go to an all inclusive resort or a cruise in the carribean but I'm a bit worried about the weather.

Right now we might be going to Switzerland since we know someone there and we can stay at a place for cheap but it's not 100% sure yet. So I'm just looking for another option just in case this one doesn't happen.

Thanks

We went on a cruise to Alaska. It was AMAZING. Highly recommend.

well we're getting married the end of august and we're going to do mini honeymoon right after the wedding. probably rent a cottage for a few days or go to sauble beach and stay in a b and b. then in a couple of weeks we'll be going to europe for a week. we're thinking italy.

Yeah I feel like we are all over the place with this honeymoon. We had 2 prospective places to go then that doesn't seem to be working out.  It's taking a lot longer to plan than I had expected so I feel like we should have had something booked by now..

I would rather go to a medditerrenean cruise but my fiance wants to go cheaper and go to the Caribbean but considering that the weather might not be that great, I'm less inclined to go there. I did checked in with a travel agent about this and she did say that in the Caribbean there is a chance that it might rain and you just never know. She advised to get travel insurance just in case.

We're going on a mediterranean cruise in August through Holland America!  I'm very excited about it, so if you decide to go that route, let me know!!!

We just got back from this resort and it was absolutely fabulous!!! (not a honeymoon, just a little get away since our honeymoon won't be until next January!) I would highly recommend it!

CaylaSummer

Is this in the Bahamas?

StephieBow

Yes it is, it is in Nassau, Bahamas on Cable Beach.

You can find good deals/package vacations through Sunquest and Thomas Cook!

Littlin

It's actually in New Providence, technically

CaylaSummer

Looks like we might be going to Aruba for the week after all....

any reviews?

I have never been to Aruba but heard it's beautiful!!

Lots of great ideas for an August honeymoon! I like the idea of visiting somewhere out of the norm like Alaska or Japan. If you want to do something more cost efficient, I would saya cruise or an AI resort. Happy Planning!
