Family Vacation: Tips for Cruising With a Group

"Family suites, triples, quads and the least expensive inside cabins are the first to sell out on a cruise, so a family or group seeking these types of rooms should try and book as far ahead as possible," says Melissa Paloti of CruiseCritic.com. Since your group will be coordinating work, school and vacation schedules, booking months in advance is probably required. Cruises like Nickelodeon at Sea, exclusively on Norwegian Cruise Line, offer suites, villas, interconnecting staterooms and the ability to select a block of cabins located near each other.
