Cruises are probably one of the best way to take a vacation. Everything is all in one place plus, you get the experience of stopping at ports along the way to explore those areas as well. There are several options to choose from based on the experience you want for your family. We love the Carnival Freedom. On board you will find many things for kids to do but also, for the adults as well.
