[quote=Anonymous]I find it relaxing because I do not have to feed or clean up after anyone.  If my kids don't like their dinner, then they can get something else to eat without it costing me anything.  Everyone gets to eat just what they want and at the end of the meal we just leave--there's no tip or bill to settle.

My kids are big enough that they can also keep themselves happy and busy on a cruise, but we're still in enough proximity that we get to spend quality time together.   We're a rather tightly wound bunch so on other vacations someone is always hungry, tired or bored and thus unhappy.  But on a cruise everyone chills out because they know they can do whatever they want.  For example, when my 10 yo finishes dinner she's allowed to get up and go to the kids club to see friends.  She doesn't get bored and complain at us while we enjoy our multi course meal and after dinner coffee.  Or when someone decides they're done swimming, they can just head to the room for a shower or to go get food, without needing the whole family to decide together to leave because we have to drive back to our rental.  All those small preferences being respected add up to a really relaxed, happy family.[/quote]
