?Four Tips to Keep You Calm While Cruising with Your Kids
Plan ahead for a stress-free vacation with these helpful tips
Family vacations can cultivate the most memorable, warm-and-fuzzy feelings a person can ever experience in a lifetime, especially for your children. Here are some tips from Cruise Planners? to ensure your cruise is smooth sailing, so the whole family can relax, unwind and enjoy vacation.
1. Let a Travel Agent Help You
Instead of going through automated systems or online search eng----ines to plan for your trip, use a travel agent to book all of your travel needs. Using an agent, guests can stress less and avoid spending countless hours researching prices and packages. Travel professionals may be able to get promotional discounts and value-added amenities that the average person can’t access through a search engine. Also, most travel agents are familiar with trips and are well-traveled individuals themselves, so they can provide you with insight on travel packages customized to your liking based on your needs and wants as a family.

2. Make Technology Your Friend
An optimal way to multi-task and keep in touch with your travel agent is to let technology streamline your events. The Cruise Planners? Alexa app helps customers stay connected with Lori Visser, keeps you on top of payments and shares travel details. It’s like having a personal assistant.
3. Say “No” to Germs
Remind everyone about best health practices before the trip. With so many people in one place, germs can spread quickly, so always wash hands throughout the trip, before and after using the restroom or eating. This is an especially important reminder for youngsters!
Bring sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to wipe down your stateroom, allowing it to be a germ-free zone. Getting sick while on vacation is no fun, so have peace of mind and always be prepared with, a first aid kit packed with motion sickness medicine and other medicines you think you may need. And always remember to drink lots of water!
4. Keep in Touch on Board
Cell service is sometimes weak or expensive while you’re sailing international waters, so plan for alternative modes of communication! Check with your travel agent if your cruise has an app that can keep your family connected with messaging or location services. Another fun way to keep in touch with your kids while onboard is to use walkie-talkies. If you have younger children, you can let them have the primary job of answering it or make a game out of using them.
Traveling as a family should be the time of everyone’s life so keep these tips in mind and you’ll be leaving all your worries behind as you set sail on your cruise. Contact Lori Visser today to plan your next vacation!
