Cruising family style - what to know BEFORE you go! Reviews

I believe that for any family vacation to be a success, knowledge and preparation is the key and so I have put together a series of Q&A that will hopefully help clear up any questions or concerns about cruising — — What documents do we need to have to board? — All U.S. citizens (including children and infants) need a passport. In some circumstances, a visa may also be required. If you do not have a passport, order one as soon as you book your cruise as it can takes weeks for it to arrive. — — How long will the check in take? — This varies for each cruise… read full review »

Ok, I'll give you my take on a cruise with a family.  First of all, we like to take a 7 day cruise because it seems too rushed.  Also, if the boat experiences engine problems, you will not be able to board the ship until it is fixed and they will skip ports to make up time.  If you have never been on a cruise, you need to know a few basics.  Make sure that if you are going out of the country, you have a pass port for all family members, you will not get on the boat if you do not have one.  Checking in and boarding goes rather fast and the kids should not get too… read full review »

Cruising Family Style was an awesome vacation.  My teenage daughter and pre teen son both were busy from sun up to bed time.  My daughter hung out at the teen dances and made friends the first night.  My son had a blast in the arcades.  We went snorkeling in Jamaica and both kids loved it.  It was quite an experience.  In Grand Cayman we went swimming with the sting rays and then shopping afterwards. — — The service was great and the kids made great friends with our waiter.  He convinced them to try things that I could never get them to… read full review »

Cruising is fun for the whole family.  My wife & I have been on 6 cruises, and have taken our granddaughter on 2 cruises.  She was 3 & 4 years old at the time, and loved it.  She wants to go again.  We are planning on another family cruise in 2009. Crusing is a great family vacation since most everything is paid for.  You have to pay for your drinks, tipping, excursions, & anything else you may buy on the ship.  But over all everything is included in the price of your cruise.   It is very relaxing. —… read full review »

This is the best cruise line!! I would recommend this cruise line to anyone that would ask me.  It is so much fun, and you don't have to do anything.  You can just lay out in the sun while someone else cooks and cleans for you.  You can get off the ship at the different ports of call or you can stay on the ship.  If you stay on the ship it is so nice, and relaxing.  There are not may people on the ship so you have a chance to just lay around and just be alone.  This is one of the nicest cruise lines I have been… read full review »

Cruising is the way to go if you do not like to spend to much money.  In a cruise every thing is there that you want to do.  All the meals are taking care for you so you do not have to thing about how much money do I need to bring with me.  You can go watch show every night on the boot that are very good.  The cruise just takes care of you so you can have a great… read full review »
