Creator's Key Takeaways

In this video, I'm going to share with you 15 parentled cruise activities to keep these kids happy, creative, and busy when that kids club just isn't cutting it.

I'm Barb, where we make cruising smarter, easier, and a whole lot more fun.

Personally, I hide ducks for the children on the ships for every cruise that I take, and I do get a kick when I find one or two myself.

These simple moments are the most magical.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Create a small craft kit for your cabin with coloring books and crayons.
Set a time each day for duck hunting on the ship.
Go up on the deck to stargaze with your kids at the end of the day.

Kids may get anxious when at sea, wondering when they're going back home.Create a cruise countdown chain to hang in the cabin so kids can rip off a link each night and know when the cruise is ending.
