We were looking for a great family vacation. Activities for everyone, space, the freedom to each do our own thing, and a Northwest destination that was puppy friendly. One idea that surfaced was a cruise. Without disparaging cruise lines, we weren’t keen to go on the most appropriate: a Disney
cruise with our daughter, son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. Yes, a five and eight year old on a cruise ship would give us more freedom and “space”, but, to put it simply, we are not a cruising family.
