learning experiences for kids

[massachusetts_mama]

We just booked a cruise on Radiance for April 2006. We will be travelling with 2 kids, a 9 year old boy and a 13 year old girl.

 

We don't homeschool, but I am intrigued by the homeschooler's post below. Does anyone know where we can learn something about the inner workings of a cruise ship before we go?

 

I love the idea of making a scrapbook and learning about the ports!:)

Travel Channel regularly runs cruise oriented shows that detail the "behind the scenes" workings of the ship. Check out their website.

 

"How Things Work" series of books have one that has some info on cruise ships - can't remember which one, check them out at the library.

This site should help you out. Also you are welcome to post to the homeschoolers who cruise thread. We are always looking and willing to give out new ideas.
