Heading Back to the Cruise in Time: ‘They Missed the Departure. By a Lot’
Known as the family’s trusted vacation organizer, he has always prided himself on creating unforgettable trips.
“At times, when the children were younger, they would be pleasantly surprised by our destinations, while other times, we would plan our trips together. I enjoy conducting research in advance and presenting my family with various options, but ultimately, my goal is to ensure everyone’s happiness and involvement in our plans,” he explains. “It’s certainly easier now that my grown children appreciate the premium drink package.”
Coordinating everyone’s busy schedules to gather the whole group is no easy task, making this cruise even more significant.
“Family time is priceless. I cherish our moments together. We used to embark on family adventures regularly, but as the children grew older, trips began revolving around academic calendars, weddings, and major life events,” Eliza’s father shared. “I felt it was time to reunite everyone for a fun, laid-back vacation, reminiscent of our past trips. And, naturally, I’m looking forward to indulging in ice cream and gelato.”
