Organize a Family Get-Away! – “Travel Like an Architect”™


Cousin Mark and wife Amy from Boston


A cruise is a great place to meet your long distance relatives for a multi-generational family get-away, a fun filled vacation surrounding a holiday (or not). Have a stress free holiday – where there is no work for anyone! Just love and laughter….with your long distance family members.

Get-Away with Grandparents, Parents, Grandchildren, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. The best part about cruising is that nobody has to figure out how to entertain children of various ages, their parents, and the grandparents – all of whom have different interests and priorities. No one has to cook or wash the dishes, make extra beds, or loan out their car.

Our family has done this, creating lifelong memories. One trip in particular stands out: Lynn and Rob with daughters Amy and Suzee flew out to L.A. with Lynn’s mother, Joyce. There we met Lynn’s cousin Mark, and his wife Amy – from Boston. Ages ranged from 13 to 78. We selected this late December Cruise as an alternate to standard “Christmas” at home. We just LOVE Mark and Amy and had not seen them for a long time..

At the start of each day we would agree on a place and time for dinner that evening. Most evenings we ALL dressed up and ate “fancy” dinner together in the dining room. One night Mark and Amy had a romantic dinner for two. The ship even served us a fancy Christmas Dinner on December 25th! – no extra charge.

On sea days the cruise line has activities for EVERYONE. Kids played with others their age, Grandma socialized and played bingo with others her age. And us “working folk” laid by the pool and relaxed. We enjoyed the company of cousins, our friends who don’t travel to our home town any more.

Depending on the port, we would divide or hang together. In Mexico the youngsters (that included Rob and Lynn) went zip-lining while others took a leisurely city tour. Mark and Amy took a taxi to a romantic beach one day. And at yet another port we all took in the local culture while sharing a bucket of beer. It’s actually time for us to cruise with Mark and Amy again soon!

Exclusive BONUS, if you can rustle up a group of 8 or more cabins we will qualify you for Travel Agent Credits. If you are organizing the trip that could result in a free cruise for you, or a loved one that can’t afford it. Or we can help you use the Agent Credits for extras, or to lower everyone’s price. Many agents don’t pass these on to their clients – WE DO. Now is the time to plan for the 2015 Holidays! Call 607-Get-Away today!
