Question by Woodland Hiker: What are good ways to vacation with extended family?
My parents want to take all us 3 grown kids (and our spouses & children) on a family vacation somewhere for 1 week. My bro is thinking a cruise. I think that would be expensive. Or is it not that bad for 1 week? What things does one have to consider when making such plans? Are there some good travel websites that give great ideas for this type of thing? I am accustomed to camp-type vacations, something none of my extended family is interested in.

Depending on the length of the trip, the company you go with, and where you leave from, cruising can be affordable. I saw a commercial the other day for one of the cruise lines (maybe it was Carnival?) which showed a week’s cruise for a family of four starting at $ 649. I’m not sure if that included taxes and other fees, but take into consideration that a cruise is basically all-inclusive. There are some extras (like if you want to do excursions, spa treatments, if you want to eat at super-fancy restaurants on board or if you want alcoholic beverages), but cruising can be very doable.

First,be sure that you have enough money for all of the expenses.I think mountain climbing is the best vacation less expenses,but really enjoyable for your family .
