Whoever said romance was dead clearly hadn\u2019t been on a cruise. Long, lazy days on the ocean, tropical islands, exotic ports and endless nights of amazing food, wine, dancing and entertainment. For couples looking to reconnect and rekindle, cruising is a brilliant option. Not only does a cruise offer all the ingredients of a perfect romantic holiday, it can also be great value.<\/p>\n

But these are just the broad brush strokes. Here are five ways cruising brings couples together that you may not have considered:<\/p>\n

Just have fun<\/h2>\n

How about reliving your youth when the two of you had nothing to think about but love and excitement? Dare each other to take on Green Lightning^, the steepest waterslide at sea, freefalling and swooping around curves at up to 65 kilometres an hour.<\/p>\n

Challenge each other to a game of mini-golf^ and, since it\u2019s just a game, the winner shouts cocktails by the pool.<\/p>\n

\"Couple<\/p>\n

A big night out<\/h2>\n

Too exhausted by life, work and the kids to think about date nights? Cruising has it covered. Even if the kids are with you, it\u2019s easy to organise late-night child-minding*, step out of your stateroom and be seated in a stylish restaurant in mere minutes \u2013 no designated driver necessary. After dinner, it\u2019s a casual stroll to the casino, cocktail bar, Piano Bar, Punchliner Comedy club or dance floor \u2013 no safety concerns, no taxi queues, no long walks in high heels.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but no eye-watering, unexpected bills to ruin the moment: most meals on cruises are included; premium restaurants offer a set and a surprisingly reasonable rate.<\/p>\n

\"CoupleTime for two<\/h2>\n

Go on, order in. You two deserve it. Some champagne on ice, room service and a table for two on your balcony with a view to die for \u2013 uninterrupted ocean, dramatic sunsets and time to talk. Really talk.<\/p>\n

A spirit of adventure<\/h2>\n

Remember the excitement of navigating new places and languages when you first went overseas? Share new experiences in exotic ports of call. There\u2019s nothing like trotting out your high school French in a hidden local cr\u00eape restaurant with sparkling aqua coastal vistas in New Caledonia to bring back a sense of adventure. Say \u201cbonjour\u201d to romance as only the French know how in Noumea<\/a>, or \u201cbula\u201d to a spectacular sunrise in Fiji<\/a>. Little moments make big memories, and Carnival\u2019s South Pacific cruises<\/a> are just the start.<\/p>\n

Relax and reconnect<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s all too easy to lose track of yourself, let alone your other half, when life is busy and work is demanding. Onboard a cruise<\/a>, you can indulge in so many interests: Carnival\u2019s program of activities has many options to choose from.<\/p>\n

\"Bartender<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling creative, check out a mixology class where you can learn to make classic martinis, try in some line dancing in The Atrium, take in a show or test your wits with trivia. Or just relax together. Lie by the pool. Head to the spa<\/a> for a couple\u2019s massage.\u00a0 Take the time to see each other anew.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\nBefore long you\u2019ll be smiling at each other in a way you may have forgotten. That\u2019s a precious reward \u2013 and all you had to do was book a holiday. The right kind.<\/span>\n\n
