Need a holiday, but can’t find the energy to plan a trip that’ll keep everyone in your family happy? The whole idea of going on a vacation with your family is to take a break from all your usual, mundane daily responsibilities. A week off from being the family cleaner, cook, laundry maid and taxi driver sounds like heaven, but you don’t want to arrive in paradise only to be appointed the unofficial events manager, when having to detox from their devices leaves the kids huffing that they are ‘soooooo bored!’ And let’s be honest, nobody likes returning home from their family holiday feeling like they need another holiday just to get over the holiday, because you’re exhausted from trying to cater to everyone else’s needs!

But, there is a very simple solution! Carnival Cruise Line have everything the whole family could possibly want from a holiday – even if you all have a totally different take on what constitutes as ‘fun!’ In fact, their What’s Your Fun Type Quiz is a great way to identify exactly what kind of personality type you are when it comes to fun. Head over and find out whether you’re a Chill Seeker, an Action Packer, a Moonlighter, an Early Bird, a Navigator or a Splash Maker! The great news is that even if everyone in your family enjoys different things, you’ll all have your fun-needs catered for onboard Carnival!
