What I consider FUN?

When someone talked about Fun, What makes you smile? Fun for me is having a blast in my Family Vacation. If you are planning to go on a Cruise Family Vacation, I strongly recommend you to reserve a Shore Excursion, not only as Travel Professional, but as mother. This is a must do in our Family Vacation Plan and FUN for every family member.

A great family option that throws in some “fun education” and adventure for adults and kids alike, is a Kayak Excursion. If you ever visit St. Thomas, I encourage you to take the St. Thomas Eco Tour. Here you'll have the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the Island, learn about the mangroves, wildlife and the marine environment while paddling effortlessly on your Kayak in this calm protected lagoon of Cas Cay. Even if you are an inexperienced "Kayak-er", definitively this adventure is for you. This was my first experience kayaking and I manage to complete the tour totally satisfied and sure I'll do it again.

Another enjoyable activity your Family can have is a Sightseeing Tour, this are also educational and varied, with well experienced Tour Guides and specially on Cruise Trips where you have the opportunity to visit several countries. For example,  in Curacao a very famous tour is The Blue Curacao and Seaquarium Adventure, here the Tour begins at Liqueur Factory and ends at the Curacao Aquarium. Besides these popular attractions, this tour will also give you an overall impression of the Willemstad City Area, cruising through residential areas and enjoying a magnificent harbor view while driving over the highest bridge in the Caribbean, The Queen Juliana Bridge. You'll be delighted from beginning to end.

One of the first recommendations I give to my clients is to pre-reserve their Shore Excursions. It would be sad to find out there's no available space due to  are fully booked at the time of their trip. I learned the lesson the hard way on my first Cruise Family Vacation.
