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. |
 |
|
|
Many cruise lines
feature special
children's clubs, tours and amenities, as well as free or
reduced fares for children sharing a cabin with adults.
