[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not been on a cruise since I was a small child but we are considering a Disney cruise for the kids. I think they would love it. We have traveled extensively and lived abroad in both Asia and Europe for many years so it would be a unique experience for us but it’s hard to ignore the negativity about it. [/quote]

Kids love Disney cruises-- if you want a vacation where your kids have things that they enjoy doing while you can have a drink or nap, Disney is great. We stopped going once my DS was past eight years old because he was more capable of hiking, sight seeing, and generally more complacent.

At that point, we did things we liked as a family-- ski trips, resort/lake trips, road trips, visiting different cities, etc.

Now that he's thirteen, we will plan a European trip.

Vacations aren't hugely relaxing if you have very young kids-- our worst was when DS was a toddler and we trapped with tantrums, meal time, and nap schedules in a hotel when we wanted to go out and explore. After that, we got more realistic about what kind of vacation works for us, as a family. It changes as the kids get older.

Cruises in general are not tacky-- they work for people who have small children and/or limited mobility.[/quote]
