Family Vacation Ideas

All other vacations sound so typical, with a place in mind suitable for kids, rooms in a nice family oriented hotel and activities planned to keep the kids entertained. But where is the fun for the adults in this? All they end up doing is carting their kids around, with no sort of time for them. It definitely doesn’t sound like any sort of family vacation to me.

And ideal family vacation would be one where mom gets a chance to unwind with some sort of massage or beauty treatment, dad gets to play some poker or catch a game on TV with a chilled beer, Chris (age 7) is getting entertained by a puppet show, Kelly who is 12 is enjoying some rock-climbing and Michelle the moody teenager is enjoying a tennis or dance lesson with some hot instructor and other cuties. This is an ideal family vacation, but where can you find all these amenities…if you haven’t already guessed then lets just say your not in tune with the latest happenings, Cruises!!

A cruise is a great way for the whole family to enjoy a nice vacation, where each member of the family is free to do their own thing and yet come together for meals and on-land sight seeing. The best thing about a cruise ship family vacation is that it is all paid for and the only extras you have to pay for are massages and alcohol. But the best thing about a cruise is that your kids will be supervised and will be more or less out of trouble.

Here are some family vacation ideas all related to cruises.

Disney’s Cruise – in the late 90s Disney launched its very own cruise ship that was built for family fun. Kids loved it naturally and parents could also have their own time. The cruise liners go to the Caribbean and to Europe, so choose what suits your mood.

Carnival Cruise Lines – this former party cruise liner is now more family oriented, it welcomes kids above the ages of 2. The well-trained staff aboard is more than ready to accommodate your every need. Toddlers, Tweens, Teens and adults will all have a gala time on these carnival cruise liners irrespective of whether the destination is Caribbean, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii or Europe.

Royal Caribbean International – with an H20 water park, ice rink, surf simulator, boxing ring, nightclub and other activities, is it any doubt this is the ideal family vacation cruise? Choose to go to Alaska, Canada, Europe, Asia, Mexico, the Caribbean or the Bahamas and have a royal blast.

Princess – this is cruise liner is more focused on kids activities but this doesn’t mean that this boutique ship wont have options for parents, though parents can opt out as there is supervision for the kids at all times. Kids can have pajama parties, pizza parties or T-shirt coloring workshops. Teens can enjoy dance classes and pool parties, while sailing away to Alaska, Australia, Canada or the Caribbean.

Norwegian – get aboard any of the 14 ships of the Norwegian and be ensured of a great time. With beautiful rooms to fun-filled activities and glorious destinations like Alaska, Canada or Caribbean, can you really ask for a better way to enjoy the holidays?
