Family Activities with your Kids on a Cruise Vacation

Have you ever had a week without a single dull moment? I recently did. The kids and I went on a memorable vacation in the Caribbean. We set sail aboard the Carnival Cruise ship for 7 days. It was an entire week of fun, sun and family time. I can honestly tell you that my vacation in the Caribbean was nothing short of amazing . With all of the fun and entertainment offered on our trip, from the excitement happening on board to exploring the great cities off the ship, we had a an incredible week.

Spend some time on a beautiful beach enjoying the water and playing in the sand. Beaches often come with an endless supply of fun and entertainment. Don’t forget to pack your pails and shovels for those warm days on the sand.

The kids and I had the opportunity to do some snorkeling while on our excursion in Cozumel, Mexico. It’s one of those moments we will never forget. They had an amazing time exploring the reefs and sea animals down below in the crystal clear ocean water.

Take some time to explore the cities and cultures your ship docks at. Help broaden your children’s minds by enjoying different foods, music and activities from foreign countries. My oldest was excited to hear that we would be spending time in Mexico, she was curious to experience a piece of her heritage.
