5 Reasons to Take Your Parents on a Cruise

Chances are, your parents did everything they could to make sure you had a great childhood and were brought up in the best way possible.  They made sacrifices and endured worry and sleepless nights, all in the name of their family and children.  Maybe once you got out on your own, you discovered your love for cruising, or maybe they passed along that love to you.  Either way, we think it’s a fantastic idea to take your parents on a cruise they’ll never forget, maybe as a small way to say thank you for all the’ve done for you.  Here are some reasons why.

1. A Chance to Relax

Almost every single parent can attest to the fact that most of the time, they don’t get a whole lot of opportunities to just chill out and relax.  Maybe they both work full time, or you have younger siblings that they still have to watch and care for, or both!  Whatever it is, even on vacation, if parents take their kids, it’s definitely more of an “activity” type of vacation than a “chill out” one.  So you give them the perfect opportunity to sit back and relax when you bring them on a cruise with you!

2. To Thank Them

Adding to the introduction, if your parents did their best raising you and worked hard to ensure you had everything you needed, they deserve a big hug and heartfelt thankfulness.  While there are countless ways to show someone you’re thankful for everything they’ve done in everyday life, a vacation is an extra excellent way to do that.  This is especially true if you live a distance away and don’t get to see them very often.

3. Show Them Why You Love It

While plenty of kids are introduced to the wonderful world of cruising at a young age by their parents, lots of kids don’t get to experience the deep blue sea on a ship until they grow up and move out.  If you discovered how awesome cruising is during the latter, why not take your parents on a voyage and show them why it’s so incredible?  Chances are if you love it, they’ll be hooked too.

4. They May Be in a Tight Financial Spot

On the flip side of the coin, maybe your parents are just as obsessed with cruising as you are, but have hit a tight spot financially.  If you’re not also in a really tight spot, it might be the perfect time to take their mind off some of their stress and bring them along with you on one of your ocean-bound adventures.  Nothing gives you a peaceful feeling like sitting on a lounge chair staring out at the endless horizon on the sea.

5. Catch Up Time

Many times, when children grow up, get a job, and move out, they won’t be able to see their parents as often as they would like.  Maybe you moved halfway across the country, or maybe you’re just a couple hundred miles down the interstate.  Either way, life can get really hectic and it’s easy to let time with loved ones slip away.  A cruise is the perfect time to be able to catch up with your parents and maybe grow a little bit closer to them again.  The nice thing about this sort of vacation, is that you unpack once, and your accommodations are the thing that moves you from place to place.  It eliminates the constant stress of transportation and packing and unpacking a little bit.  It really gives you a chance to relax and spend time with the people that matter most; your family. ◻︎
