Chapter XIII Family Reunions with a Splash Is a Cruise Right for Your Family? For families looking for an alternative to the traditional reunion, a gathering at sea will surely make a splash with everyone. The following are the top reasons family reunions at sea are more popular than ever: 1. Superior Value – The all-inclusive pricing of cruise vacations includes a family’s accommodations, meals, 24-hour room service, most onboard activities, and top entertainment. Groups often receive special amenities. Cruise ships offer families a variety of staterooms to fit any budget and set of travel needs. Some cabins have been specially designed to sleep four or more guests. Special suites also are available for the disabled and folks who want more room and luxury amenities. 2. Convenient Departure Points – Traveling to board a cruise ship has never been easier. Ships depart from more than twenty ports throughout North America. Today, cruise ships are located within driving distance or a short flight of many US cities, including Miami, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Baltimore, Philadelphia, NewYork, Galveston, New Orleans, Boston, Los Angeles, and Seattle, among others. 3. No Worries – On a family reunion cruise, there is no cooking or cleaning to worry about—just relaxation. Furthermore, the weather is usually warm and pristine. Once everyone’s bags are unpacked (some lines may offer to do that, too), the ship’s crew does the rest. 4. Floating Fun – There is never a dull moment on a modern cruise ship. Guests enjoy swimming pools and water slides, rock climbing walls, surfing, ice-skating rinks, roller blade tracks, spa services, kids’ programs, nightclubs, gambling, shopping, dining, libraries, Internet and video arcades, enrichment seminars and guest lectures, yoga, and plenty more.
