My wife and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary in November. We have talked about going on a cruise. We have never been on one and would like to. In order to do so, we would have to take our teenaged daughter. She has Autisim and my wife is her security blanket so being away from her overnight is not an option. As a result, we would need to book on a cruise that is SUPER kid friendly and highly accommodating. Any ideas.

Thanks

I would think either a Disney or Nickelodeon cruise could be possible best choices for kid friendly

Anthony- you may want to call a few of the popular (Disney,Carnival,Royal Carib.) and ask them what they can offer you for your daughter. Been on a few cruises and my wife has some experience with autistic children and just asked her what her opinion was and we both agree a few phone calls may be worth your time...JMHO-Paul

Thanks so much. Been working OT every off day for past two weeks. Pretty much brain dead.

I texted it to my wife to check out. Looks good. I can google the $hit out of anything, but for some dumb reason I never thought about that.

Well, your post did two things. You got to brag about your anniversary (congrats) and you got to be a part of a nice community. If you had just googled it, what fun would that be? LOL

Jade is grumpy. Dont pay attention to him.

I would make sure that your child is able to enjoy themselves on a moving ship.

It would be a shame to go through all this and not be able to enjoy the vacation.

If the cruise doesn't work then look into an all-inclusive. Most islands have them and they're really nice.

Just sayin'.

Not so much proud of my anniversary as happy that my little angel hasn't put my grumpy arse on the street.

The truth is I'm truly blessed to have her. I think it was fate that we meet to raise such a special child and to both be there for her.

Plus...I gave him the best answer. The rest are.."I don't know but you better make sure she's safe." Well...no $hit. These are cruises SPECIFICALLY for kids with autism and their parents. He asked.....I provided.

Going back to my dungeon lair now.

We went on NCL for our honeymoon last year and while there were plenty of kids on board, we practically never saw them. It was amazing how well organized they were. But +1 on the boat, not just for your kid but also yourself and your wife. My wife lost a couple of days simply because the very slight rocking of the boat made her motion sick. Probably won't be doing another cruise for a while.

Thanks Jade. I see your point. Hopefully she would be ok. Seems we'll need to book a short cruise to check things out. We took her and her brother to WDW about 10-12 years ago. She had more fun riding in the itsy bitsy two man boats in the lake jumping other boats wakes than anything else. Fingers are crossed.

You are quite welcome and I hope it helps. Happy Anniversary, Brother and I hope you and the Mrs. (AND your daughter) have a great time. I also hope you and the wife get the time together alone I'm sure you desperately need.

I had actually heard about this program before Googling it yesterday. I thought it was a great idea when I heard about it.
