Cruising Critics – where everyone can be a critic

This is where cruise lines are going all out and leaving no expense spared. They understand that nothing is more public relations taboo than a bored child and a frustrated parent on an expensive cruise.  Therefore, cruise lines spend hundreds of millions of dollars on supervised children programs to reel you in. Of course, Disney invented the word “entertainment” and by all accounts their programs receive two thumbs up from happy parents and children alike.  Former Disney passengers rate the live evening shows, live character experiences, first run movies, outdoor pool adventure and deck parties as activities that cannot be beat.  While there are no casinos on the ship, couples can enjoy nightclubs and adult only lounges for a quiet evening out. Pagers are issued to parents at all times so that they can be contacted immediately should there be a problem.  It has been often reported that this is NOT the cruise line to choose if you want to bond with your children, as they may not want to leave the numerous activities.
