It’s Christmas time again…..

If you can convince the family to come cruising with you for Christmas, your time for fun will be plentiful and better than ever. You can catch dinner and a show for a great evening out, get in some friendly competition at a sports court, mini golf course or rock climbing wall, splash around in the pool with the kids and learn something new together with an onboard class or lecture.

If the togetherness becomes just a little too much, there are options to prevent a meltdown: Kids Club, activities for teens, and even Adult-Only areas on many ships. You could take advantage of the in-cabin babysitting for a night of cocktails, live music and grown-ups bonding time.

The best part of a family Christmas cruise? You can sit down to eat together without anyone ducking in and out of the kitchen to check on dessert, serve dishes and get a start on cleaning up. No cooking and no dishes – that is the basis of an amazing meal. All cruise lines put on some kind of festive feast for December the 25th, and most offer Santa encounters for the kids, decorations, trees and the whole experience so you needn’t feel like you are missing out on yuletide cheer. The magic can happen at sea just as well as on land!

Hakuna Matata
No worries could be the motto for a cruise holiday. The all-inclusive nature of the trip means that you don’t have to think about anything but having a good time and what you might do at your next port stop.

Gathering everyone in the same place is no good if their hearts are elsewhere, or their minds are occupied with a million thoughts of travel details, cooking schedules, and the whereabouts of various children. A cruise holiday can offer not only more time together but more quality time together – when everyone is relaxed and ready to interact.

I will finish my blog today by wishing you ALL a very Merry Cruisemas and Happy New Year! I hope 2018 brings you all of the voyages that you have been dreaming of!
