Every member of the Meyers family was busy enjoying their three-generational vacation getaway. Tom and Martha were playing pickleball, a popular pastime among people in their age group. Their son, Ben, and his wife, Melissa, were steering electric race cars along a winding two-level track, slowing to negotiate sharp hairpin turns. Grandchildren Tom and Betsy were getting wet and wild at a water park that included a Twister Waterslide and a drenching by a mammoth bucket that rained a torrent of liquid down on them from above.
The fact that these family members in a wide span of ages were experiencing such a varied choice of activities in one place was unusual. Adding to the appeal is that the pickleball game, race-car ride, and soaking are available to passengers aboard some Carnival Cruise Line vessels.
