Planning family cruises is one of my favorite things to do. Most of today’s top cruise ships offer an endless list of activities and experiences for guests of all ages, which makes my job so much easier. But while there are plenty of great options out there to choose from, Serenade of the Seas by Royal Caribbean is without a doubt one of my favorite ships to sail on with my friends and family.
First of all, it’s slightly smaller than many of the newest ships out there — which I’m totally fine with. I love the more intimate vibe that comes with cruising onboard a mid-sized ship like Serenade. That said, there’s still plenty for grown-ups and little ones to do onboard. Think epic pickleball battles, fun-filled rounds of mini golf with captivating sea views, sun-kissed pool days and early-morning climbs on the rock wall. And those are just some of the many cruise activities for families onboard.
Whether you’re traveling with adult relatives, small children or the whole extended family, this Radiance Class cruise ship offers something for everyone, every day and night of your family cruise getaway. Here are just some of the many things to do onboard.
My husband and I are more into low-key nights these days, which is why we love the outdoor movie nights onboard Serenade of the Seas. After our parents have gone to bed, we grab some towels (or a blanket, if we remembered to pack one) and head out the pool deck to see what’s playing on the big projector screen. There’s something so soothing about watching a classic film while the stars twinkle overhead, and the cool sea breezes tousle your hair. It’s hands-down my favorite way to end any night onboard.
These are just some of the many great activities that make Serenade of the Seas a top choice when planning family cruises. See what else this unique ship has to offer, or start planning your family-friendly cruise by choosing the perfect itinerary.
