[quote=Anonymous]OP it’s often hard for multi family groups to enjoy any vacation together. Setting aside all the dysfunction that goes with extended families you still have a big variation in personalities, budgets, and preferences for vacations. We’ve done these trips and some have been enjoyable but they are trips not vacations! We’ve done extended family trips when we were not planning on doing a real vacation.

Also keep in mind that even if everyone wants to go on a cruise or resigns themselves to a cruise , there are very different options. A Viking river European cruise is very different from a Caribbean or Mexican port cruise. The boomers and some GenX in DH’s family love the cheap all you can eat cruises. SIL loves the European river cruises because she wants to check the boxes in seeing countries in Europe but knows nothing about them and doesn’t want to learn anything.

Cruises do not work for people who experience or dread motion sickness, people afraid of the ocean, or germ phobes. They also do not work for people who really value having a good vacation or who like to spend more time at a destination.
