Not sure why you picked the "Big Red Boat" for your honeymoon, but unless you are traveling with children or specifically want to be around lots of chilidren, you might want to consider another ship. While the brochure may say that the trip is fun for adults too, most activities are geared towards the younger set. A nice quiet dinner will be hard to find on the "Big Red Boat".

My folks had been on the Oceanic long ago when it was owned by Home Lines, and they said that it was one of the nicest ships they'd ever had the opportunity to sail on. Unfortunately, so much for Home Lines.
But after I read the scathing review you folks put forth regarding this ship since its purchase by Premier, I have serious doubts as to whether or not Premier really wants to be a real contender in this market.
Krista, I'd sooner recommend Carnival if you can afford it, not that they are particularly upscale. But if it's fun and action you want, you're better off there. You don't want to make a mess of your honeymoon; it should only happen once in a lifetime (of course, that's another can of worms).
Also look into the 4 & 5 day cruises out of Tampa on Carnival.
having cruised many times, on many lines...Pay no attention to someone who says something is horrible on a line. They either haven't sailed on them or they are picky. When you sail on any of the major lines you will get good product, or they wouldn't be a major line, would they? I am not a fan of RCCL, will probably sail on them again. My biggest problem is the size of their cabins. They recognize the problem and are correcting this situation in their newest ships. Sorry to carry on like this, I hate Carnival bashing.
