Would Your Family Be Welcome?

Sunny Family FunSunny Family FunThey brought us Dora the Explorer, Sponge Bob SquarePants and Jamie Lynn Spears as Zoey 101. Now mammoth children's entertainment company Nickelodeon is breaking into the travel industry with an August cruise.

Can the Nickelodeon Family Cruise deliver on a promise to be as fun for adults as it is for kids? The ambitious organizers are eager to prove it's going to be fresher and more fun than a classic Disney vacation.

Don't expect too much grown-up time unless your family fits perfectly into Nickelodeon's age bracket. If your little ones are too tiny, they won't be part of the all-inclusive activities.

Let the kids go nuts for Nick's programming. Supervised activities are fully included for ages 3-17 so adults can enjoy the other amenities.

If your tyke isn't old enough, you can still hit up the casino and other adult events. Just bring enough cash to shell out for a sitter. Group and private care will run you $8/hour, on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Since kids activities are closed by ten, and tots in babysitting have to be between 1 and 3 years old to qualify, we don't think the nightclub will be very full.

Cruised with your kids? Would you do it again?

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."

I was very impressed with the way Captain Draper handled the situation and I told him so. He made it a priority to inform all passengers and eliminated rumor and speculation. It's nice to know the other passengers involved felt the driver saved their lives. The roads in Tortola are terrible and I'm sure much skill is involvd navigating them safely. I hope you enjoyed your cruise, despite this tragedy. Julia"

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Anonymous said "I just returned from this tragic Caribbean Princess cruise. Although I was not a part of this particular excursion, it was both saddening and shocking for everyone on the ship when Capt. Draper made the announcements. The following day, we spoke to one of the excursion bus passengers who felt the bus driver did everything in his power to slow the bus down and they felt the bus driver had saved all of their lives. According to my fellow passenger, the fatality was caused by the young man being thrown through the front windshield. Of note, it was rumored told during the cruise that a witness saw the brakes being worked prior to the excursion."
