Honeymoon

Would you mind if your family decided to go on the same 7 day cruise you’re going to for your honeymoon? Parents, aunts, cousins etc.

    YES I would mind! This is a time to celebrate your relationship, be by ourselves, enjoy the things you do and NOT have to worry about what faux pas aunt Dora is going to commit at dinner tonight and whether your MIL is in a good mood. Or even if you should take them into consideration while planning your day. Don't get me wrong, I like my FHs family and we get along well, but... You've been putting up with all their crap, "well-meant advice" and family drama for months while planning the wedding and then they're tagging along to your honeymoon? From me, it would be a huge HELL NO.

    I would absolutely mind, but you can’t do anything about it other than book a different cruise or avoid them at all costs. I wouldn’t share anything about your honeymoon, other than just the general cruise for 7 days.

    Yes, absolutely I would mind. We plan on being married for the rest of our lives, so there will be many, many other holidays to go on which aren't centred on our relationship - but this one is intimate, private, and not one I'd want to share with my family or my in-laws, lovely though all of them are!

    Switch your honeymoon asap and don't tell anyone where! That's just crazy. Very inconsiderate.

    Yes! Honeymoon is for the couple only! Sorry but I don’t see where you’d really enjoy yourself with everybody there too.

    Yes I would mind! That is for me and my new husband!
    Some of our good friends are getting married the week before us. My mom had this insane suggestion that the 4 of us should honeymoon together.. I was like uhh no.

    You have a lifetime of family vacations and one honeymoon. Having family join you on the honeymoon would not fly for most people.

    Neither my fiance or I would mind my parents or his dad but his mom is so controlling that she would try and dictate how we spend our time and she would try and have all the time with him instead of me and him together. We are not letting anyone come with us for that reason but he would live if my parents came since they have NEVER went on a trip together.

    Unless the wedding is also taking place on the cruise, I would absolutely mind. A honeymoon is not a family vacation.

    I definitely would mind! I personally would switch to a different cruise and not tell them. Any other vacation, totally fine, but I would prefer my honeymoon to be just me and my husband.

    100%. Ships these days may be big but you will inevitably run into each other somehow. Avoid.

    Eek! It all depends on your relationship with them I guess? While I LOVE my family and my husband's family I would want that personal space with just the two of us Smiley smile Hopefully you are able to change the dates or request for them to change it lol.

    Yes I would mind. A honeymoon is meant to be for the two of you not for the whole family.

    Absolutely! This is a time for just the two of you. I would see if you can change the cruise to another date and do something else.

    I would absolutely mind! I love my family and in-laws but this time is just for the two of us. I'd change my plans real quick.

    I hope you are "asking for a friend" and not yourself. YIKES!!! My future sister-in-law purposefully did not tell her parents where she was going for her honeymoon in fears they would pull something like this. Now my fiance doesn't want to tell anyone where we are going! (I think they are paranoid, but now maybe I am not so sure!!!)

    Bottom line, I love my family. I also love my future in-laws. And I would be furious. Beyond furious. Your honeymoon is just for you too. Doesn't matter if it is a large cruise ship. If I knew my parents or in-laws were nearby I wouldn't be able to truly enjoy my first vacation with just my husband. Please tell me you figured something else out?!?

    Unless they were invited I would mind. We're opening up our honeymoon to potentially be a couples trip for those who may want to join us, but if my parents just decided to go I would be very upset
