Creator's Key Takeaways

It's where the grandparents leave their children behind and take the grandkids on a trip.

They've maintained and even improved their premium level product um on the sun princess and it was just a really cool shift to experience.

This enables princess to operate a ship this large and still provide personalized service.

Spellbound by Magic Castle was the coolest.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep skip-gen travel simple: start with a weekend away at a national park.
Consider the duration of the trip to ensure it's not overwhelming for all parties.
Use a travel agent to handle necessary paperwork and logistics, especially for international travel.
Book by April 30th for Viking River Cruises to get a $25 deposit and free roundtrip airfare.
Book by April 22nd for Holland America's Grand Voyage to secure the best offer.
