One thing young children relish about a cruise is the freedom. Often, in the relatively safe environment of a ship, parents allow their kids more freedom than they have at home. Some children join and leave the activities program on their own, freely moving about the ship. While your children treasure this privilege, it can make it hard for you to find them and vice versa. First, if appropriate, give each child his or her own cabin key. Then, keep a note pad in a designated, central location in the cabin (perhaps on top of the bureau) on which each family member--parents included--specifies his or her intended shipboard location and expected return time. That way your child can simply read "in aerobics class at the gym until 3 p. m." and easily reach you, and you can find your child too. Admittedly this, like most things, may be harder to do with a teen, but that's what curfews are for.
Always establish times to be in the cabin to dress for supper, get ready for shore excursions and stops, and go to sleep. This eliminates many frantic searches and much worry.
So, when you're ready to embark for the tropical lands, or better yet when you're ready to book your fabulously exciting family cruise vacation, make sure to do that at www.kingarthur.myttn.com first.
I look forward to seeing you in the tropical beaches of the world!
