My Cruising Family description on YouTube:

Welcome to our YouTube channel where you'll see us CRUISING aboard ships at sea... flying at CRUISING altitude in the friendly skies 'cause we definitely enjoy land vacations too... and CRUISING through daily life. My name is Peta-Gaye. I'm wife to Allan, and mom to our two boys, AJ and LJ. We love to travel together as a family! We often travel with my mom also, and I enjoy having "me time" and "couple's time" while grandma manages the boys! When I started this channel years ago, I pretty much put together vacay photo slideshows. Very blah... I know... I hadn’t really studied YouTube and video creation! Anyway, fast-forward to 2021 and onward... by popular demand from the @mycruisingfam Instagram family, we're vlogging family, faith, food, and of course, travel! Vlogs are loading, and I hope you'll join our journey and enjoy!

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for My Cruising Family.

  1. Pause and plan trips for your family first, not for social media.

  4. Come and do crafts, relax, have a drink or some waffles.

  5. Start with the sandwiches first, then work your way up to the dessert.

  7. Join your cruise Facebook group before you cruise.

  8. Get to shows early, especially Hercules, as lines form quickly.
