    Just booked last week! 11-Night Southern Caribbean Cruise (Royal Caribbean). In January. Cruise is 2 days after wedding, but we fly down to Florida the next day. Saturday - Wedding, Sunday - Flights, Monday - Cruise.

    We are beyond excited. All inclusive (getting drink packages), sun, sand, and nothing else. One of the perks I saw to getting married in January was that for the honeymoon, and any anniversary trips thereafter, would be escaping gloomy, usually rainy, Vancouver winters!

    Our Honeymoon begins 2 days after our wedding. We are taking 14 days for backpacking in Scotland and in Croatia. I kinda bit off more than I can chew in the planning department.... wedding + backpacking adventure... but it's all coming together nicely.

    We delayed our honeymoon until our 1 year anniversary, but when we did take it we went for 10 days. I pushed for 14 but DH reined me in Smiley sad

    After the wedding I think we will be taking a week off to visit with different people who came from farther away and we want to take our honey moon during the winter seasons

    My work doesn’t allow vacation between October and January (we’re getting married in October) so we’ll be going the following summer! (And it gives us more time to save!)

    We're not taking our honeymoon until 4 months later, during the summer, since it works out easier for our vacation time. We'll be gone for 2 weeks!

    Two weeks most likely. We don't want to take too much time off of work, we will be saving for a house and family.

    We’re most-likely going to be going away for 2 weeks. We got this number because we have been on several week-long vacations together and 2 weeks would feel more special.

    Ya we were plannig on going for something like 2 or 3 weeks and then we just decided to go big. We are really only limitted by the amount of time i was able to get off work... Ideally we wanted to go for 3 months but 2 months aint bad Smiley winking neither of is has done much travelling so this is really our chance to go backpacking and see all the thinngs we wanna see.

    Also helps that my FH had been saving for a long time for a down payment but the housing market is just insane right now and we arent anywhere close to being able to afford buying a house so we decided to travel with the money instead.

    We have decided on 8 weeks! We were both able to get the time off work and we decided to was our best chance to get some real travelling in before we have a mortgage and kids to worry about.

    It was going to be 10 days, but that's when we were heading to a tropical destination. No shorter than a week but we might still go for 10 days.

    We are going for 2 weeks as we plan on traveling quite far away. We are having a delayed honeymoon.
