The Spirit of ’98, a 96-passenger cruise ship operated by Cruise West

In my opinion family cruise is a perfect getaway with loads of fun and excitement for everybody. Whenever my kids bored with the usual stuff amusement parks, theater and all and your spouse needs a change, plan a cruise. They are addicted to it. Family cruise is a sure shot way to drive away my families boredom.
Start planning your family cruises, by defining your budget at first itself. Once you know your budget look for cruises that fit into your budget.
If you want to have fun for one low price, all you need is a Carnival cruise.I selected carnival already twice .
Simply put, are great places to unwind and enjoy.Please share your Family Experiences.

I agree that cruising is for everyone and is definitely addicting. Even better than Carnival for family is Disney Cruises. The amount of attention paid to family fun is absoultely unbelievable. It is a little bit pricier, but well worth it if you are looking for all the extras. I think one thing families should be aware of with cruises and kids is that the kids centers are pretty adamant about their pick up and drop off rules. Be sure to know what they are before you book, so there is no disagreement at cruise time. Have fun !

The last cruise I went on, which went around Alaska or a week, I did not really enjoy it as I have on other occasions. I don't know if it was just that cruise but the total overall atmosphere was down and it was just not very inviting to me nor my girlfriend. We both decided that we would never take another cruise with the cruise liner and vowed that we would take overland excursions next time we just want to get away from it all.

Two other wonderful family cruises are Galapagos and Egypt (Nile River). We went with Abercrombie & Kent.

Hi Mich
First of all try to get experience note from others about the cruise especially when you take your girl friend or family.It will matter a lot.

There are two ways to go here. Most first-time cruisers choose a short cruise with lots of port calls; they do this because they’re afraid they’ll go crazy if they’re stuck aboard ship. While this is a good strategy if you just want to get your feet wet, I recommend looking for a longer itinerary with some “sea days.” That way you can relax and enjoy the ship’s facilities. It’s really the only way to find out what “cruising” is all about. So, look for a cruise with some balance between sea days and port days.
