2017 Sea Tales Family Cruise Travel Planner

Most nights are informal, so resort wear is fine. There are two gala evenings on the Caribbean cruises and at least one on European sailings; recommended dress is suits for men and cocktail attire for women. Costa Cruise Lines “suggests” that guests do not wear beach clothes in the dining room or restaurants. Costa attracts adults and families who desire a fun at-sea experience with many onboard activities that will appeal to the entire family. The demographic varies with the itinerary; the ships carry mostly North Americans in the Caribbean, New England, and Canada, but mostly Europeans on all other itineraries. Costa Cruise Lines is also popular with young Italian honeymooners and Italian college kids on school breaks. Costa Cruise Lines cruises are best for adults and families looking for a large cruise ship with varied onboard entertainment and a lively continental atmosphere, as well as cruisers who enjoy fellow travelers with diverse, international backgrounds. Destinations Atlantic Ocean Caribbean Eastern Mediterranean Far East Great Eastern Cruises Indian Oceans/Mauritius Infants must be at least six months of age at the time of embarkation to sail, but must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation to sail on the following: transocean crossings (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, etc.), world cruises, cruises of fifteen days or longer, and any other itinerary which may in the opinion of Costa Crociere or CCL present serious risk to infants in need of emergency medical care. Babysitting While cruising is a vacation for the whole family, Costa also provides quiet time for Mom and Dad. That can be during the day, while the kids are entertained in the Kids’ Club program, or at night, while the kids are with group babysitters. Mini and Maxi Club nighttime group babysitting, held in the children’s area, is a free babysitting service until 1:30 AM. There is no night-time babysitting service available for children under thirty-six months of age. Costa gives parents traveling with children some time off by organizing two events at which kids spend the evening with other guests their own age, with a fun-themed dinner (Squok, Pirates, Circus, video games world, Halloween, WWF in the Jungle, or Underwater) and fun activities designed especially for them. While the kids are being entertained, parents can relax as they enjoy sumptuous cuisine and a romantic evening together, feeling secure that their children are having fun while being supervised by the dedicated youth counselors. With this program, parents and children will both be pleased with the variety of shipboard activities and the warmth of Italian-style cruising..
