I've tried taking different sorts of vacations with my in-laws, but we all agree that cruises are the best

My husband, in-laws, and I have enjoyed experiences in ports of call across nearly a dozen countries by going on cruise together as a family.

• I've taken four cruises with my husband and his parents — it's my favorite way to vacation together.
• On cruises, we get to have our own spaces and adjust our dining experiences to our preferences.
• By going on cruises as a family, we can travel the world together and still come home happy.

Putting together family vacations can be a challenging task...
