    I really want to go on a Disney Cruise, but FI thinks that it would be weird for our hm. He thinks that it will be all families with small children and that we will feel out of place

    Actually, my really close friends did that a couple years ago for their honeymoon. Why not? You can go anywhere you want... besides, Disney Land is the happiest place on earth right? Throw that on a boat, add some honeymoon romance and BAM! Best honeymoon ever!

    Yeah, I don't think it would be very relaxing or romantic. Maybe another cruise line.

    I think it'd be a little weird.  Why not spend some time at Disney and then take another cruise line?  There are mostly families on the Disney cruises and I don't think it'll be romantic for a honeymoon.

    We're going on a Disney Cruise for our honeymoon- so obviously i don't think it's that creepy. We've read only amazing things about the adults only things to do on the ship, and there are a few excursions that are adults only as well. I guess it totally depends on what you intend to do, but as far as I can tell you can still lounge around all day and relax and all that because the kids are well taken care of while they're on the boat too. Plus, i'd bet it depends on the cruise and the time you go too.

    Not at all! My brother and SIL went on one for their honeymoon, and I wanted to go on one for ours but the timing didn't work Frown. There will be kids around (obviously), but it could be a very fun, memorable time for you and your hubby.

    FI and I have discussed a Disney cruise in the past, as a honeymoon. I don't think it would be creepy at all.

    In fact, if you're ever planning to have kids, DO IT!! Do Disney before they have more influence on the schedule. I've never gone to a Disney park with kids, but I've almost always gone with a family group. It's maddening when even a group of adults can't decide who wants to do what, and wastes the whole day trying to figure it out. My FI and I usually end up splitting off on our own anyway. Go do what you want, on your time, when no one else's opinion matters.

    Disney stuff can be totally fun as just a couple!

    I dont think its that big of a deal. Couples go to Disneyworld for their honeymoon all the time and I dont think most of the Disney hotels/resorts are adult only. How is going on a Disney cruise any different? I'm sure there will be some adult only areas on board and in addition you are going to go to several tropical places that I'm sure will be extremely romantic. You can probably try to eat dinner at a later time to avoid more children if you are looking for more quiet. I bet they even have an adults only pool. I think it would be a lot of fun! I had a friend who went on a Disney cruise (with her parents, husband and 14 yo brother) and she said it was amazing. She said everything is in the top of its class, amazing food, better shows, more modern decor, etc. I say do it and have a great time!

    @PitBulLover: You're right about adult-only stuff. FI and I looked into what the cruises offer, and most of them have quite a lot of adult-only areas and activities. They also have one hell of a babysitting staff in all the kid-only areas, should you need it.

    I don't think it would be creepy, but I also don't really understand why you would want to. From what I can see on the website, it seems like Disney Cruises are mainly special because they will provide so much entertainment for kids and let parents escape. Aside from Disney shows, there doesn't seem to be much for adults to do on the boats that is particularly "Disney." It doesn't seem as special as the theme parks.

    On a bit of a different note, I really think that both you and your FI should be on the same page for where you go on your honeymoon. Instead of pursuading him to do this when he doesn't really want to, maybe you could go on a different type of cruise and save the Disney cruise for some other time.

    Yes, but I think being into Disney at all past the age of 12 is a bit weird.

    I agree with the PP that say Disney cruises are geared towards children. Why go on a cruise where the majority of the activities are meant for kids, and adult entertainment is an afterthought? Also, Disney cruises are much more expensive than non-Disney cruises, so you're paying more, for fewer things to do, coupled with kids literally everywhere.  If you're one of those "young at heart" Disney adult types, then maybe it would be good for you, but comparing apples to apples, Disney isn't better.

    people always say there will be too many kids. i'm telling you right now... you won't notice them.

    the kid's area on the disney cruise ships are so amazing that the kids rarely leave them... and there are adult only areas too. 

    i have some friends who have said that they sometimes forget about the kids even being there because disney is so good about keeping the kids occupied in seperate areas.

    I think it's weird, especially if your fiance doesn't know if he's into it. If you're planning on having kids I would enjoy adult stuff before the little ones come along and you have to choose family friendly vacations:)

    It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if it's yours, I say go for it.  It's your honeymoon.  People always suggest that me and FI go to Disney World for our honeymoon.  I thank them, but it's definitely not somewhere I'd find relaxing.

    @kate169: I think this is the most important point. If your FI doesn't want to do it, don't do it. Do something you both agree on. It doesn't matter whether we think it's creepy. It matters what you and your FI think. But it doesn't sound like he's into it.

    I admittedly don't know much about Disney Cruises - but lots of kids around doesn't really mesh with my idea with a romantic honeymoon.

    I wouldnt want to go on a disney cruise for my honeymoon, it will be mostly families and children. A lot of their programs are targeted to families. I would want to go somewhere more adult and romantic. I would rather go on a regular cruise

    If your DH isn't into it, don't go.  He isn't going to enjoy a honeymoon that he is semi-forced into.

    Also, Disney Cruises are way more expensive than other equally nice cruiselines but you don't really get any added things for adults in that extra price.  Why not look at Carnival or Royal Carribean or something?
