So my worst fears for this cruise have come true...my husband has just been called to work on a movie (he’s a stuntman) and the dates are right during our Merrytime Cruise that starts on Dec. 11. It’s too much work (and therefore, money...we’re buying a house, so we have to be smart about that right now) to turn down. So now I’m looking at possibly taking this cruise with my 5 and 6 year old on my own. In all of my plans and imaginings of this that I’ve had over the last year that we have been planning this, I never imagined doing it alone. I know that the kids will probably love the kids clubs, so I’m not worried that I won’t get to relax at all, but I don’t really know what to expect other than that. Obviously Palo and Remy are not as appealing. Are there any activities that are great for either solo travelers or single parents? What should I be aware of that may be a little more challenging without a partner? And finally, any suggestions on how to make this still really wonderful for my kids so they don’t just feel the lack of their Dad on what was supposed to be our first family vacation? Thanks in advance.
