[quote=Anonymous]We generally go on 1 cruise a year with both sets of grandparents. It is the easiest vacation for multigenerational travel. 
When DC were younger, we always did a Disney cruise. I had no complaints about rooms, food, crowds, etc. We have since switched to other cruise lines. We did a carnival cruise with older cousins once and I will never do another. I will also never do another Caribbean cruise.
My tips:
- Generally, we choose ship by the itinerary and think of the cruise as a moving hotel room.
- When kids were younger, my parents and in-laws would have kids sleep with them 1 or 2 nights. 
- We sometimes do breakfast in the buffet if we are getting off the ship, but otherwise stay out of that area.
- Our kids are very outgoing. They go to the kids clubs on day one and meet a bunch of other kids. They still keep in touch with some kids that they met on a cruise 5-7 years ago. (Youngest is now 18.)
-In 15 years, we have never signed up for excursions through the cruise ship. Ever. We rent a car or boat or sign up for a personal excursion. 
- I don’t love sea days, but the rest of the family enjoy them. DH finds a place in the shade to read most of the day. The rest of us sign up for activities, go to the gym workouts, etc.
Agree that cruising is not for everyone, but thinking about it as a moving hotel makes it a little easier. We rent a beach house with friends every year and also vacation with ILs and DH sibs and their families, at a family lake house nearly every year. Cruising is easier than these two vacations.
