The Love Boat type of cruising is definitely passé. Nowadays, cruise lines have tons of other things to entertain travelers. And I am not talking about ballroom dancing.

So, Norwegian Cruise Line has Nintendo Wii equipped ships which may help lure the younger set to go cruising with their parents. But, did you know that some cruise lines have all sorts of activities which could also make cruising more attractive to both parents and their kids?

Cruise lines organize programs and have facilities that are age-specific. So, you need not worry about your teener getting bored with activities that are meant for toddlers. As an example... for teenagers, they have discos and slumber parties. For kiddies, they have mini-theme-parks and game rooms, among others. See what I mean?

As for the adults, you need not worry about not being able to do anything because you need to watch out for your kids. In addition to having activities which your kids can enjoy supervised by one of the ship's staff, some cruise lines also have trained staff who can babysit your kids.

With all of the above, your only problem would be where you and your family would like to go.
