As a SAHM to 5, cruising actually gave me a break from my kids, who have always been very social (in their 20‘s now, that has not changed at all), one their favorite aspects of cruising is to meet new people. I loved reading books on deck or on the balcony, something my kids did not enjoy as much. Even though they are best friends and close in age, they’d usually each find their own crew on cruises.
