Family fun Caribbean getaways are available in all forms, but a cruise ship vacation is the best way for families to see the world.
Would you agree?
Have you cruised before? If not, why not?
Is it time for you to experience this fun-filled adventure, which appeals to fun lovers of all ages?
If you watched the video above, then you now know that an inclusive cruise vacation includes everything that makes for a great family getaway.
Buy a cruise ticket and you will get:
1. Accommodations for the three days or longer duration of your trip. You unpack once.
2. All the meals that you can eat and much more.
3. All the drinks that you need (you may buy others you prefer).
4. All the entertainment for your family's enjoyment.
5. Activities for children of all ages.
6. A chance to visit one or more new places, without having to pack and unpack twice.
As I noted above, your family cruise getaway will take you to one or more exciting places. The number of places visited depends on the length of your cruise vacation.
Below are some exotic stops you can make on a family fun getaway aboard a cruise ship...
Seven Miles Beach, Grand Cayman
What do you think of the beach above - Seven Miles Beach in Grand Cayman? It is absolutely beautiful!
I took that photo on my first visit to Grand Cayman. I fell in love with the beach and get excited every time my Caribbean cruise itinerary includes a stop in the Cayman Islands.
There is no end to the number of beautiful beaches to which your family can escape on a cruise ship.
The fun thing is that you can visit several such beaches on just one cruise getaway.
There are many cruises heading to these beautiful beaches in places such as Grand Cayman, Ocho Rios, Jamaica (see Jamaica Family Getaways) and Cozumel, Mexico.
Note: You will need a Western Caribbean cruise itinerary to get to the Cayman Islands.
What about the beach below? That is South Beach at Ocean Cay. This is a private Bahamian island owned by MSC Cruises.
That is also a spectacular beach, with its sister beach area across the water - North Beach at Ocean Cay.
Note: You can only get to Ocean Cay on a MSC cruise. The good news is that there are many short MSC Cruises' sailings from Miami or Port Canaveral that include a stop at Ocean Cay.

Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas
Your family getaway aboard a cruise ship will get you to exotic and beautiful places such as the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas.
The Bahamas, it can be argued, is the most visited country on a Caribbean cruise. Consequently, you will always find a cruise itinerary - year-round - to a Bahama island.
This also means that your family will often win a discounted cruise package on a sailing to the Bahamas.
Tip: Carnival Cruise Line and MSC Cruises offer the best cruise deals to the Bahamas - year-round.
Dunn's River Falls, Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Your family will take a luxury, floating resort to get to exciting places such as Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica.
This fall is located in Ocho Rios, and can be visited when you take a Western Caribbean cruise.
My family was there as recently as last October, via a Carnival Cruise Line's 5-day cruise.
What joy it was!
There are many year-round cruises to the Western Caribbean annually. You will be thrilled to find several available itineraries to suit your family's taste and budget.
Note: Most Western Caribbean cruises are 7-nights long, but you can find shorter sailings for 5-nights leaving from Miami, Mobile or New Orleans.
Other Western Caribberan cruises sail from Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Port Canaveral and even Galveston, Texas.
Are you getting excited about cruising? Can you get a sense of the value this experience affords your family?
You can get all family members, of all ages, on a Caribbean cruise and each person will find something to enjoy. There is no need to "waste" time doing some other type of vacation that compels you to plan various activities for different members of your family.
Your cruise ship's entertainment staff will take of that very important piece of detail for you.
