Ten Great Ideas for Things to Do with Your Children on a Cruise Cruising is a wonderful chance to introduce your children to never-before-seen wonders. Here are some great ideas for things to do with your children while on a cruise! Visit world-renowned museums with your children. New England and Canadian cruises in particular provide plenty of fun and educational museum stops in port. Boston, a museum hotspot, features one of the nation’s premiere children’s museums, plus the enormous New England Aquarium. There’s also the Boston Team Party Ship, where kids can recreate dumping tea into the sea. Enjoy leisurely dinners with your children or room service with a movie. The early dinner seatings on cruise ships (especially those operated by Carnival) are full of families. Depending on the age of the children, it may get a little messy, but the ships’ staffs love the laughter. There are also specialty restaurants on many ships that welcome children. This is a great time to relax together and talk about the day’s events aboard the ship and life in general. Cabin service is available 24/7 on most lines, so you won’t have to worry about those growing teenagers and their constant hunger. Order a midnight snack and watch a movie together. When was the last time you danced with your children? There is plenty of live music aboard. For pure family fun, nothing beats family disco hour, especially aboard Royal Caribbean voyages. The pulsating beats, light shows, and other special effects help everyone cut loose on the dance floor. And there is no doubt the kids will love to watch their parents’ smooth dance moves and enjoy a dance with mom or dad.
