had to do was take the kids to the park around the corner and
they would entertain themselves on the swings, jungle gym or
round-about. Perhaps, get a bit dirty in the sand box. No

Affordable Fun
Today, cruise lines have made it easy - and affordable - for
families to vacation at sea. T here
are itineraries geared to any family's schedule, from short
cruises of three to five days (perfect for weekend getaways)
to week-long and longer voyages. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Toddlers,
Teens and All Ages In Between
Generally speaking, activities are designed with specific age |
|
groups in mind, and are fun and educational.
Don't be surprised to see kids
engrossed in a variety of cool pursuits, from learning to
play the ukulele and dance the hula to getting the basics of
computer programming. It's all part of the fun, like the
puppet workshops, talent shows, scavenger hunts, stargazing
and pool games, and the poolside "coketail," pizza and ice
cream parties. These reduced fares,
plus the fact that all food, transportation and activities
are included in the cost of a cruise, makes a cruise one of
the best vacation values for budget-conscious families.

Holland America Debuts Family Reunion
Program
Family reunions can present a challenge. How to host
one? Who's going to make all the arrangements? Not
having those responsibilities is one big
plus of having
your reunion on a cruise ship.
This month, Holland America Line introduced
its new Family Reunion Program, which offers various
amenities to families booking at least five
staterooms. 
Families booking five to nine cabins get special
group pricing, a fountain soda package for every member
of the family (unlimited soft
drinks throughout the
voyage), one family photo per stateroom, and either
family dinner in the line's alternative Pinnacle Grill
Restaurant or
(on Caribbean cruises) free rentals of
snorkel gear and swim mats or banana boat rides for all
on Half Moon Cay, Holland America's private island.
Families booking ten or more cabins also get a
Head-of-the-Family reward: one complimentary upgrade
from an outside stateroom to a veranda.
(Family groups
booking five or more cabins are also eligible for the
one-cabin upgrade on holiday cruises.)

Fun For Everyone:
On the ship or in port, everybody finds something to do that they enjoy.
Hassle-Free:
Unpack once and you're done, no flying from port to port.
Great Value:
Compared to resort hotels and land-based tours, the
price is right!
Family Time
Together: Quality time together
throughout the day with activities that can be shared and
suitable for the whole family.
|
A Safe Place:
Kids have the freedom to roam and explore the ship. Mom and
Dad
can even keep tabs on
the kids with personal communication devices.

 New Passport Rules
New government regulations took effect Monday, June 1,
that require the additional identification for cruise
passengers and land travelers returning to the United
States.
However, there are exceptions for children and some
cruises:
Cruises: Under the new regulations, U.S. citizens on
closed-loop cruises -- those that begin and end at the
same U.S. port -- to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the
Caribbean will be able to enter the U.S. with a birth
certificate and government-issued photo ID such as a
driver's license.
While these documents are typically all you need at
ports-of-call within
Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean,
most cruise lines recommend that travelers obtain
passports. If a you have an emergency and need to fly
home from a port-of-call in in a foreign country, for
example, you will need a passport for air travel.
Travelers also should check whether a passport is
required by any country on their cruise.
Children: Under the new regulations, U.S. citizen
children under the age of 16 arriving by land or sea
from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean will be
able to present an original or copy of their birth
certificate to return to the country.
For more information on travel requirements, see the
Department of Homeland Security's
