When looking for a family vacation that has it all, a cruise can be a great way to go. A cruise allows you to combine the variety of sights and sounds on a longer trip through several locales, without the hassles and time-wasting of packing and unpacking, moving from hotel room to hotel room. Instead, let the ship take you where you want to go.
When planning a cruise as a family, here are some important factors to keep in mind.
A cruise can be a nice change of pace from a traditional vacation. Cruise ships have top-notch amenities and high levels of service, so you won’t have to worry about needing something you can’t find or leaving something behind at home– your needs will be well cared for.
If you’re thinking about booking a cruise as your next vacation, you may want to go with something tried and true. While popularity isn’t everything, in a vacation destination, it’s usually a good sign if people keep going back. Here are the cruise destinations most popular among our vacationers.
Having a disability doesn’t have to preclude being able to take a cruise. With a little advanced research and planning, you can take a vacation where you can ensure all your needs are fully met and you won’t miss out on any part of the experience.
Information we’ve collected from experienced travelers suggest certain lines are better than others at accommodating guests with disabilities. Perhaps they have more or better cabins that suit specific needs, or offer a range of services that are not necessary but would be appreciated on a vacation. Depending on your particular needs or preferences, someone else’s favorite cruise line may not be the best cruise line for you. Knowing which cruise lines can make the accommodations you require and how much time you’ll need to prepare in advance will guarantee a smoother vacation experience.

Over the last 8 years, I have enjoyed working with clients in creating signature experiences aboard the dream ships of the world’s best cruise lines. I’ve learned that those experiences are realized when there is a confluence of passions. Customers bring their own passions for food, entertainment, luxury and travel; cruise lines that help create those signature experiences also bring a passion for excellence that creates long term relationships with repeat customers. I share that passion both as a purveyor of travel and as a prospective passenger aboard the dream ships. That passion was re-ignited when I stepped aboard Oceania’s Riviera for the 10-day Caribbean Hideaways sailing. When speaking with clients, I had often highlighted Oceania’s connoisseur experience and premium amenities. So I was thrilled when the opportunity came to create my own signature experience in upscale cruising with Oceania. I was delighted that I even received quite a few tips from clients about making the most of my time aboard Riviera, itself an ultimate destination.
I had a mission this year. I wanted to get my whole family on a family vacation where we would all be together. I know, *gasp* right? With everyone’s busy schedules and everyone with a different idea of what vacation is, this mission would be impossible. Continue reading
