Family Cruising
from: JerrickAll mass market cruise lines have been forced to make changes to
remain competitive during these past years of ship building boom
and discount cruise pricing. That factor, too, has nothing to do
with kids.
Now, it is true that changes have been made and will continue to
be made in recognition of the fact that an ever-increasing
percentage of travel dollars is directly attributable to family
travelers.
Disney and Big Red Boats are designed for families. Carnival,
Royal Carribean, Celebrity, Princess and Holland America have
received positive comments for their children's programs. Some
of the things you may want to consider is where and when you go
if you are interested in having your children meet other
children around their ages. The next is the facilities on the
ships, some of the newer ships have more facilities. To my way
of thinking this does not always translate into something better
for children, sometimes having few facilities stimulates
children to be more creative and bond better rather than have to
wait to use this popular thing or that, however, the programs
are designed to have children work together.
You may also want to consider what you want for yourself, what
you want to do at ports and what you may want to do as a family
at ports. Lines have become more family focused so that there
are many options available. Best thing to do, IMO, is tailor the
line/ship/itinerary/scheduled date to what sounds like the best
compromise of your desires and works into your budget. Perhaps
jotting down what you are looking for and then having a good
travel agent go through your list will be helpful. Also, try a
few travel agents and then see which suggestions makes most
sense to you.
Good luck and welcome to cruising.
