Royal Caribbean offers families endless active days, where mornings can start with a dip in the pool or a climb on the rock-climbing wall, and evenings can end with a high-energy dance party in the club. On the other side of the spectrum, Princess Cruises is all about relaxing and immersing yourself in a destination, especially on cruises to Alaska or the Mediterranean. Somewhere in the middle is Disney Cruise Line, known for its attention to detail and making sure everyone in the family feels that warm sense of Disney magic.
“Disney has styled its ships so that every member of the family can go off and enjoy their own adventures during the day. Then, they’ll all come together at night to participate in rotational dining together. There, they can regale one another with their tales of exploration,” says Antonelle.
Our third travel advisor strictly says Royal Caribbean is the best for multi-generational families. “There are so many activities for all ages, including kids clubs, carousels, rock climbing, miniature golf, pools, hot tubs, a casino, laser tag, family dance parties and specialty dining, just to name a few. Also, their entertainment is top-notch and enjoyable for kids all the way to grandparents,” says Melanie Kostrab, Travel Advisor and Team Lead at Travelmation.

What Multi-Generational Families Should Know Before Booking a Cruise

It's also easier if you work with a travel agent who can do the heavy lifting for you, like linking various onboard reservations. “This can be a confusing process, so go to an expert who can handle this for you,” says Kostrab.
For example, Disney Cruise Line includes soda in their overall cruise cost, but Royal Caribbean does not.
Some things your family should talk about before stepping onboard the ship include what types of excursions to do and who wants to do them, how much time the entire group wants to spend together, and how much time everyone spends doing their own thing.

“Some of the best family memories happen when everyone has a chance to enjoy the vacation their own way before coming back together. Cruises are one of the few vacations where grandparents can relax, parents can recharge, and kids can stay entertained, all at the same time. Then everyone can reconnect over dinner, a favorite show, or a shore excursion and share the highlights of their day,” Mahnken explains.
