Family Cruising is Fun for Everyone!

When planning your next family holiday has a cruise crossed your mind over maybe and all-inclusive resort and you have dismissed for the following reasons:

Too many people in one place I will be bored Too many old people The ships are too big

Think again. Compared to a land-based holiday, cruises are fantastic value for money. You can choose your actual room, you have top entertainment including Broadway shows, comedians, live singers or a quiet bar.

Food is second to none! Many ships have celebrity chefs inspiring their menus and are compared to Michelin starred restaurants. There are so many choices on board from sushi to steakhouses, seafood restaurants and sports bars serving good bar food. Jamie's Italian, Johnny Rockets and the list goes on. Dining on a cruise is all part of the experience. Royal Caribbean offer family dining where the children are fed within the first 40 minutes and they will then be collected and taken to the kid’s club so you can finish your meal in peace and enjoy some evening entertainment while they are safe and having fun.

The kids are looked after too from babies up to 17 years old. Each group has its own area where depending on age they will have soft play, crafting, games, computer games, chill zones, DJ booths and nearly everything else you can think of. On Royal Caribbean you can experience the I Fly Skydive, the flow rider, the climbing wall, ice skating, dodgem cars, trapeze, football, basketball and on Norwegian Cruise Lines they even have a go kart track on top of the ship, both have water parks with fantastic slides and a zip line most of which are included in the price. You would not get that on a land-based holiday.

Yes, the ships are large but not everyone is in the same place at the same time so you can always find a quiet spot to chill and relax. More and more families are opting for this type of holiday as you only unpack once, and you will visit different countries during your cruise. You are waited on hand and foot and speaking as a mother of 4 that in itself is holiday plus no cooking or cleaning, and I would love my own cabin steward at home!

Royal Caribbean in particular can cater for children with Autism which you may not know and if you wish to know more do give me a call as a holiday with an Autistic child can be very challenging.

So, what are you waiting for? If you prefer not to fly the fantastic Anthem of the Seas will be cruising from Southampton next year 2020 and we still have Independence of the Seas and Explorer this year.

Lets get you cruising!
