A few weeks ago, Mr. Caramel, my parents, my sister and I went on a cruise to Alaska! We took the Sapphire Princess cruise and it was quite an adventure! We saw lots of honeymooners there and I was able to take many pictures and pick up some tips for any future cruise honeymooners. We went on this cruise partially because my dad used to live in Alaska for a while, and also to pre-celebrate our one year anniversary which is coming up in a couple months! Eek!

I highly recommend the Princess Cruise lines - we were told it was one of the better cruise ships. For a vacation with the family it was a bit over the top. BUT, for a honeymoon, I think it would be quite nice, especially coming back from a hectic wedding day. You’ll be eating, eating, eating nonstop. That would be fantastic after dieting forever for your big day!

Here are some amazing extra activities that I thought were very “once in a lifetime.” The activities were VERY pricey, about $200 per excursion, but we figured we’d never participate in activities like this again!

We did some dog sledding on actual glaciers!

I’m sure there are a lot of dog lovers out there, and if you love dogs, you would LOVE doing this! We made sure to pet each dog and give them all love equally because they got really jealous if we didn’t.

Here’s the dog camp! I couldn’t believe where we were… surrounded by absolutely nothing but glaciers, pure white snow and Alaskan mountains.

Here are pictures of the glacier helicopter ride:

Just imagine relaxing in your snow boots in Alaska, eating unlimited pizza and burgers by the pool!

If you’re having a summer wedding but you want some cold weather to snuggle in with your new honey, Alaska can be super romantic!

Think about it… (I took this picture of Mr. Caramel looking into the beautiful ocean)

Have any of you had good/bad experiences with cruises?
