We all have expectations about things. Sometimes they live up to them and sometimes they don't. Everyone wants their wedding and honeymoon to meet their expectations, but how can you assure that? The main way is probably planning. Plan early, investigate options, and set realistic goals. Here's an example of what I mean. I was recently on a Celebrity cruise where I talked with a lot of passengers. I asked one woman if this was her first cruise and she said no, she'd gone on one before on a different cruise line but she hadn't enjoyed it. I asked her why and she said it was because that cruise fell short of her expectations. Further discussion uncovered the fact that she had gone on a low-budget cruise line and had not gotten the elegance and service she had assumed was part of every cruise. She had not investigated the options or talked to anyone about different cruises. You can avoid this disappointment by taking the time to talk to your partner about what you want, then take some time to research your choices. We know that your wedding plans are your first priority, but your travel plans are our first and only priority, and we have the expertise to help you find the options that best fit your expectations and help you plan a realistic budget to have the honeymoon or destination wedding you expect.
