Dear Currents Readers,
Thinking of a cruise vacation with your young adults? We love vacationing with our 20-somethings and, thankfully, they will still take the time to vacation with us! It’s so much fun getting to know them from a different perspective, enjoying long conversations and dinners, new places and adventures. It is a terrific bonding experience for our family.
However, it’s a real challenge to figure out what will please the entire family……….. My husband and I are Baby Boomers and our 4 children are Gen Y. We did a great deal of research to find a way to please everyone. What are the policies for them alone in a cabin, alcohol on the ship and in port, gambling in the casino? Which lines will serve all of our needs and make this the memorable vacation I envision?
Could Crystal Cruises work for us? We hope the information we uncovered with hours and hours of research proves useful for you and your family. Read the story here………….
Warmest regards,
Heidi – Publisher, AllThingsCruise
