Is a family cruise in your vacation plans this summer?

This might be the time to make it happen! A cruise is a good concept for extended-family getaways because there is something for everyone aboard a cruise ship. Plus, there’s is a cruise line for nearly every budget. With all-inclusive pricing, “Kid sail Free” promotions, two for one cruise fares or two for one airfare offers, the cruise lines are vying for your vacation dollar and appealing to you to come aboard and spend your vacation on one of their beautiful ships.

Families with children (ages 2 to 17) should know that most cruise lines have organized kid clubs with trained staff to mentor and entertain your children while you enjoy your cruise vacation. What the cruise does is take the children by age and pair them in groups, example a 10 year would not be placed into a group of 16 year olds or placed in with 5 year olds. Your children will feel special, the cruise staff delivers, to each child their very own ships news letter delivered, each morning, to your room for the plan activities for that day plus they get a choice of eating their meals with their group or have planned meals with the family. Parents can rest assured their children are being safeguarded and supervised, each child is checked in or out by the parent or parents that signed them for security reasons, Photo ID required.

Royal Caribbean Cruise lines just signed an agreement with DreamWorks to add their characters to their cruises to compete with Disney Cruises and this all happens starting later this year. Royal Caribbean Guests will be surprised with DreamWorks-themed activities throughout their cruise vacation, featuring characters year-round from some of DreamWorks most popular feature films; Shrek^®, Madagascar^®, Kung Fu Panda^® and more.
