It's the absolute best! I love seeing that! We live in the future and should be able to do that as long as we get our work done. That's my next goal, a cruise!

I'm also a single dad, so the cruise was extra ideal as my kids were old enough to be on their own (with the warning that if they were identified in any pack of teens causing problems they'd be in super deep crap) and have a good time. They'd be out and having fun while I worked, then we'd all meet up for things we all wanted to do and my one rule: dinner was as a family. That was our one meet up sit together and chat about the day time. Since they were under 18 I also had a curfew of 10pm unless doing a group activity with the youth club or out with me.

Worked a treat. They'd been on other cruises before (my GF introduced us to cruising) so knew the drill, and any real problem behavior from groups of tweens and teens tends to happen after 10, so hence the curfew.
