8 Best Family Cruises 2024

Your kids will love: WaterWorks aqua park, with its dizzying Kaleid-O-Slide raft ride; Dive-In Movies at the pool; whimsical Seuss at Sea activities and Dr. Seuss Bookville (a colourful library stocked with Seuss titles in multiple languages); and Guy’s Burger Joint.

You'll love: The enthusiastic young counsellors who keep kids happy at Camp Ocean; kids’ menus at most restaurants; and supervised kids’ meals (go ahead, reserve that table for two)!

Family-friendly excursions: In Ocho Rios, horseback ride on the beach and in the sea; swim with dolphins and stingrays on Grand Cayman; and enjoy a Jeep adventure and snorkel in Cozumel.

Insider tip: This is a big ship, so if you have kids who tend to feel overwhelmed when tired, book a Family Harbour stateroom. Located on deck 2, they’re near a kid-friendly lounge that features video games and family movies on large-screen TVs, as well as daily continental breakfast and afternoon snacks.
