Jennifer Greene at MEI Travel says Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay, is a standout for families: "It really is a true island oasis with something for every age in the family from a private beach club, to a waterpark and the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean." This highlights the age-appropriate activities provided by Royal Caribbean, making it a great choice for families seeking both relaxation and adventure.
Allen says Disney Cruise Line is more focused on storytelling and making family memories, while she finds that Royal Caribbean caters to higher-energy families with more action-oriented activities. This distinction underscores how each cruise line targets different family experiences based on preferences for narrative versus adventure.
Baker also says families preferring a more upmarket experience can book cruise lines like Celebrity, Princess, or Holland America Line. These cruise lines also offer children's programming, although not quite as overly family focused as Royal Caribbean or Disney. This suggests that families seeking a luxury cruise can still find suitable programs for children.
Linda Bendt with Pique Travel Design also says families should also consider expedition cruising, noting that lines like Silversea, Lindblad, and Quark Expeditions are big hits among teens and older children for their small group adventures and unique, immersive experiences. This points to another innovative option for families that wish to explore beyond traditional cruise activities.
