Taking the
Kids on a Cruise
|
Taking a family cruise can be a wonderful,
enjoyable experience for family members of all ages. If you’re planning
on taking the little ones out to sea with you, there are a few things
you should make sure to bring along to make the trip much less stressful
for you and more fun for them. A little preplanning can avoid any problems
along the way and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable.
First of all, it’s a good idea to bring a selection of over the counter
medication for your child. Smaller kids can develop a cough overnight,
and it will save a lot of sleep and discomfort if you have medication
to give them. Children’s aspirin, chewable vitamins, and perhaps a
heating pad can also help along the way. Cruise ships will have a selection
of baby supplies, like diapers and baby food, available on board, but
don’t count on a wide selection or cheap pricing. Try to bring a small
selection of various things so you’ll be prepared for whatever crops
up.
Most cruise lines will supply cribs if they are needed for very small
children; however, it is an excellent idea to bring your own stroller.
For walks up and down the deck and from the shore onto the boat, a stroller
can be invaluable. A folded stroller is also fairly easy to transport
and will be well worth the effort. Again, some cruise ships will have
strollers available for rent, but this is not a sure bet, and the convenience
will cost you.
Some cruise lines offer babysitting services for children of certain
ages. This can be great when the parents wish to have a fancy dinner
or a night together. But in general, a family vacation equals family
togetherness, and this includes the kids. So plan ahead and think of
activities for your child. Family-friendly cruises will offer various
activities geared towards children, but there will be quiet times in
the cabin when it’s best for your child to have a coloring book or other
game to keep them occupied. Remember that for the little ones, vacations
are huge and exciting events, but they can seem tiring and long, too.
Bring a favorite stuffed animal or pillow for naptimes, and a few little
comforts and toys from home to remind your child that the vacation is
a fun and relaxing time. With a little effort, your family cruise will
be a great experience for everyone.

How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
