Trying to decide if I'm going to pay for my oldest daughter's cruise in 2020. She's going to be taking a gap year and working part time. I'm torn. I want to, but money doesn't grow on trees in our house. Curious what other people do/think.
would you be comfortable leaving a teenager home alone for an extended period of time?
maybe try a diff cruise line that is more reasonable, if this is a family vacation and she is family then pay her way
i would not want to be on a ship and not be able to get to one of my children that still lives in our house, if something happened, just b/c i wanted them to pay GUILT, would never forgive.
Once they go out on their own that is different. Away at college they can do whatever they want. If she goes away with friends that is diff, then up to you whether she pays for herself or not
how would dinners be every night? wondering what your other child is doing?
Adult children & grands is different, from reading above post, if that's what they want to do then go for it, can't take $$$ with you
just my thoughts since you asked
