Creator's Key Takeaways

I truly believe that cruising is one of the best family vacations. It doesn't have to be luxury.

The value that you get from a cruise vacation is really hard to match on a land vacation.

Cruising has definitely evolved since the '90s, and it's hard for us to believe that 1995 was 30 years ago.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Find a travel agent that knows cruising.
Figure out where you want to go and what kind of experience you want.
Avoid cruising during school breaks if you want fewer kids.
Consider premium lines for a child-free or fewer-kids experience.
