Why Cruises Are a Great Multi-Generational Vacation

 

 

When you’re planning a vacation with family, you can never be sure of how everyone will get along. There are many different personalities and interests to appease, and that’s where cruises come into play! A cruise is the ideal family vacation choice because everyone can do their own thing while they’re onboard. Plus, with all the food, shows, activities and entertainment that come with cruising, everyone is bound to have fun!

 

Freedom to explore

The destination is the destination, but the journey is what makes cruising so special.

We believe in the journey. It’s what makes cruising so unique and special. From unique port stops that help you explore like a local to thrilling shore excursions that make your heart race, there are incredible ways to see the world one step at a time - from the comfort of your ship.

 

 

Something for everyone

The best reason to go cruising with your family is the never-ending entertainment options! No matter what you and your family enjoy, you can feel confident that there is always something that each member of your family can have fun doing. While each cruise ship is different, there are some staples that most cruise lines typically offer: 

●      Watch a show: Cruise lines pay to have actors, singers, and entertainers come along for the ride to perform in nightly shows. In fact, you can even check out some Broadway shows (like Mamma Mia!) on Royal Caribbean’s ships. The best part? All these shows are included in the price of your cruise fare! And they’re the perfect opportunity to have fun with the family or keep it just to the adults. 

●      Have a spa day: For family members looking to relax, the spa is the perfect destination. Cruise ships offer spa treatments and packages ranging from facials to massages and more. If you don’t want to spend the extra money on a treatment, simply head into the sauna to sweat it out! 

●      See a movie: Almost all ships will offer nightly movies out on the outdoor decks. It’s a great opportunity to watch a film, hear the sounds of the ocean, and gaze up at the gorgeous night sky above! Plus, you can bring any food or drinks from the buffet or casual restaurants. 

●      Take a dip: If you’re going cruising, you'll have to take advantage of the pools and jacuzzies on board! Ships will have at least one pool on the lido deck featuring one or more hot tubs adjacent to the pool. Some ships will also have a second pool at the back of the ship to overlook the water. By the pool, you’ll be able to soak up the sun, grab a bite from the food stands, and rinse off in the outdoor showers at the end of the day. If your whole family wants to lounge by the pool, make sure to get there early enough to snag chairs next to each other before it gets too busy! For your more adventurous family members, some ships will even have water slides to keep the fun going all day long!

●      Take an educational class: Did you know that many cruise lines offer courses in skills such as cooking, photography, videography, languages, and lectures on a variety of topics? This is an amazing offering that every member of your family can take advantage of to learn something new while out at sea! 

 

Meals for foodies and picky eaters alike

It’s not uncommon for a family to have different food preferences and dietary restrictions which can make planning meals difficult. On a cruise, you don’t have to worry about any of that! Many people say the 24/7 access to delicious food and drinks is one of the best parts of cruising, and they are not wrong! From buffets to ice cream shops to fully loaded bars, you can truly never go hungry (or thirsty) on a cruise. 

 

 

If you are ready to get your sea legs and want to let the next generation of your family make lasting memories on a multi-generational vacation, going on a cruise that is more than just a few days is the right choice. The length of a cruise allows your family to get to know each other better and create special memories together. If you are ready to take the plunge, choose the right cruise for your family.
