It's one thing to go on a cruise with people your own age. It's another to go with people younger or older than you. But it's an entirely new story to go in a multi-generational group. Here are What Condes Nast Traveler chose as the 4 best cruise ships for multi-generational travelers.
Carnival Splendor (Carnival)
Carnival is amazing with kids, and they keep them well taken care of and protected. The kids really enjoy their time onboard the Splendor with programs designed for them (Camp Carnival-Ages 2 through 11; Circle C-Ages 12 to 14; and Club O2-Ages 15 to 17). The spa is very large, for adults who like to be pampered. There are 4 separate pools, for kids of all ages, I guess. And there are 22 completely different bars and lounges onboard that one ship for those of legal drinking age. The Promenade Deck and interior halls are favourite walking places for the older generations, too.
Crown Princess (Princess Cruises)
The Captain on this amazing vessel is legally able to perform your wedding ceremony, should you desire in the ship's beautiful chapel. Kids greatly enjoy colouring their own t-shirts, teenagers perform in their own talent show, and other adults participate in activities that include the golf simulator, wine tastings, and their ScholarShip at Sea program. The Sanctuary is an adults-only retreat with massage cabanas, waiters, and lots of room to relax. Note, connecting cabins are only via the balcony.
Liberty of the Seas (Royal Caribbean)
The largest of these four amazing vessels, Liberty has numerous connecting rooms in multiple categories. The water park and miniature golf course is a big hit with the 12-14 year old group. Adventure Ocean is created just for the younger group, and they do enjoy their scavenger hunting and science classes. There are two whirlpool on the edge of the ship in the adults only section.
Noordam (Holland America)
The Loft and Oasis decks are those most popular with the teenagers because they are exclusively for their own use. The Loft has a television, internet, video games, and karaoke, all set in a New York City apartment theme. Oasis is a sundeck complete with waterfall, a snack machine, and dancing. The size of this ship is small er than the others, which means the grandparents don't have to walk so far to get to supper. Activities for the other adults include a demonstration kitchen, library, spa, salon, and the Crow's Nest which is a daytime lounge and a nighttime club. Two very nice pools are also included.
