Creator's Key Takeaways
The best cruise ports for families usually are not the ones with the biggest excursions or the most hype tourist attractions.
One mistake I see families make all the time is trying to overbook every single port day.
Sometimes the best family cruise days are the simple ones where you just find a good beach, grab a pool chair early, and relax.
For us, Kosamel is probably still the best overall Carnival cruise port for families. Why? Because it's easy.
