 Guide
to Family Cruising
There's Something for Everyone
By Ilene Griffen
There is no better place
to enjoy a stress-free family vacation than on a cruise ship, and there
is no better time! Now that baby boomers are having children of their
own, they are finding out the economic value of a cruise.
Cruising can be just as
exciting and as much fun for "toddlers to teens" as it is for
their parents. To meet this growing trend and to make cruising even more
fun for the family, the major cruise lines now have special programs for
children that include everything from baby-sitting services to computer
labs featuring the latest technology. On a cruise, you will never hear
your children say: "There’s nothing to do!"
Some cruise lines offer
special shore excursions geared to children! Holland America Line offers
Alaska shore excursion just for kids and Princess Cruises offers the
"Adventures Ashore" program that offers a wide range of
in-port tours designed for children of all ages.
A family cruise is a
wonderful way for families to spend holidays and even family reunions
and offer families a shared experience that they will treasure for life!
