You know how, as a parent, you often return from vacation feeling like you really need a vacation? This time we didn’t. We found cruising to be stress-free and one of the easiest—and most enjoyable—vacations we’ve taken with our kids. What I’d do again: Splurge on brunch (or dinner) at Palo. It was a very upscale, grown-up experience that reminded my husband and me, yes, this is our vacation too.
