6 Reasons I Prefer Cruises When I Travel With Family

On a cruise, family can play, eat, and sightsee without the regular worries of travel.

With two teen girls to keep happy and entertained, my partner and I don't want to overplan or try to do too much on vacation. That's why, ultimately, I typically take our family on three to four cruises over the course of any given year. Dreamstime/TNS

While I find value in all types of travel—including adventure and sightseeing trips all over the world—I try to plan family vacations that are both relaxing and fun. With two teen girls to keep happy and entertained, my partner and I don’t want to overplan or try to do too much on vacation. Instead, we like to sit back and relax, enjoy a week (or longer) without cooking or cleaning, and spend time together chatting, playing games, and basking in the sun.
