What is unique about family cruising?

What makes a family cruise unique is that the needs of all members of the group should be addressed – with multiple ages it is not “one size fits all” vacation planning.

For example, the ages of the members traveling with the family should weigh into the equation when selecting a  cruise itinerary, cruise duration, and a cruise line. All ships, although they share a lot of similarities, do vary based on size of vessel, onboard amenities and kid-friendliness.
