‘Me, too’ Cruises for Families—our top picks

ooking for your best bet for that family getaway? “There’s no question that a cruise is a wonderful hassle-free option,” says Jill Sheppard, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Atlantic Place, St. John’s. “Today’s cruise lines have really gone all out to cater to families and multigenerational groups, with many of them offering an impressive array of entertainment and programming geared specifically to that market.” Here’s a peak at some of our favourites.
FAMILY CRUISE VACATION: WESTERN CARIBBEAN ABOARD SYMPHONY OF THE SEAS “Royal Caribbean is my all-time favourite for familyfocused cruise vacations. The entertainment is incredible and the dining is flexible and innovative. These megaships have all the bells and whistles including multiple pools, rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rinks and 3-D theatres. And that’s before you even look at the destination-rich shore excursions on offer.”
“Norwegian’s flexible “freestyle cruising” approach has lots of family appeal. The newer ships have abundant family friendly activities and spaces where they can spend more quality time together onboard. Popular activities include rock-climbing and rappelling walls, bowling lanes and expansive water park areas.”
