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! 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Build a sand castle on a private island. Most cruise lines that visit the Caribbean make a stop at a “private island” for a truly unforgettable day at the beach. Families enjoy splashing in the waves on secluded, pristine beaches, water sports galore, and great beach barbeques. Make unforgettable sand castle kingdoms with your children. 5. The mother-daughter spa experience. Nail-painting sessions are taken to another level on cruise ships, where they are invited to enjoy real spa treatments together. State-of-the-art salons and spas promote unusual treatments, relaxation, and girl bonding opportunities. 6. Watch a Caribbean sunset together. A cruise offers a uniquely unobstructed view of the sea and the horizon, providing for an ideal setting for your family to watch a sunset or sunrise together. 7. Fireworks every day. For those families on Disney cruises that enjoy a little more pop in their sky-gazing activities, an impressive fireworks show captivates cruisers of all ages each night. Launched from the deck of the ship, the fireworks explode nearby with reflections off the water and plenty of oohs and ahhs from both kids and parents alike.
