Taking a cruise with the grandchildren is a joy when they are happily exploring their floating hotel, making friends with other youngsters, and marveling at exciting ports of call. It's important to choose a ship that provides plenty of age-appropriate programs to occupy kids while the adults play, and that offers great recreational areas where the generations can come together to splash, compete, or kick back.
We've selected eight Super Ships for families, all of which excel in entertaining children, especially during school vacations. Maybe one of these popular cruises — domestic and international — is heading for your desired ports of call.
