In this column by @Unquote_Travel's co-founder Paige Totaro, suggestions include signing up for @Intrepid_Travel's #DigitalDetox trips, or picking a destination where (sorry about it!) internet is spotty, such as Cuba. >> https://t.co/2453eUoDhI #TWchats

I think it depends on a kid by kid basis. I can't imagine doing this with toddlers, but teens *should* be mature enough to handle the experience. #TWChats

replying to @MyFamilyGenie @MyFamilyGenie My parents took me on cruises when I was younger. They were synonymous with "vacationing" for me! #TWchats

replying to @MyFamilyGenie @MyFamilyGenie Absolutely! Everything is in one place and you only unpack once! Perfect for families! #TWchats

What are your favorite cruise lines and cruise destinations? #twchats @MyFamilyGenie https://t.co/qGqei4qhul

A2: A great vacation in our family begins and ends with a pool @Intrepid_Travel this one was @WatergateHotel after a long day on the Washington Mall #twchats


replying to @Intrepid_Travel @Intrepid_Travel @TravelAgeWest @ValerieChenTAW Love that! What age range do you suggest for this one? #TWchats

replying to @ValerieChenTAW @ValerieChenTAW I bribe with dessert. Ice cream every night. It's their vacation, too! #TWChats

A3: YAY, definitely in favor of a #DigitalDetox for at least part of the vacation ... But not just for kids and teens, adults need to set an example and unplug too!
Let the kids know ahead of time and offer ideas for alternate, non-screen activities.

A3: Taking away a device isn’t a fun way to start out a vacation. So why not choose a destination where they’ll be too active to pick up their phones! The Galapagos with @silversea takes you out to explore wildlife through zodiac tours, nature hikes, & more! #twchats


A3: @TWtravelnews Between Costa's Squok Club, Teen Club & Aquapark, kids will be too busy having a blast to even think about their phones! From fun with @OfficialPeppaPigUS to sports tournaments, pool parties, & heart-pumping water slides, they may never want to leave! #TWchats


A3: Vacation time is great family time, and it's the perfect excuse for a #DigitalDetox for everyone! The beauty of a #cruise is you can stay connected or disconnect as you wish. So put the devices in the stateroom safe and focus on the family! #TWChats


replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A3: Everyone needs a #DigitalDetox - not only kids + traveling is the perfect excuse! Ask your Tzell agent to book walking tours, classes + spa days. #TzellTip: if you book a stay at @SolazResort, you'll get a $150 spa credit. #Tzelltravels to #twchats https://t.co/EffABUJ2pv

A3: Yay on digital detox, but you can't expect kids to go cold turkey. Hopefully, your trip will keep them busy enuff to stay off their devices without a fuss. But give them limited screen time as a treat. #TWChats

replying to @TravelAgeWest @TravelAgeWest We have always been loyal to Royal because we find them to be very family friendly. Have considered branching out to Disney or Norwegian. As a family, we loved Bermuda and NE/Canada. #TWChats

Yea @LoveShackVaca you can't spring a "no phone" rule on the kids. Give them time so the withdrawal isn't so awful! #TWChats https://t.co/s8c8750ivz

replying to @LoveShackVaca @LoveShackVaca So true! Parents, where do you think the kiddos learned some of that digital addiction behavior? #TWchats

A3: The Ritz Kids program @RC_Orlando will be sure to have the little ones forget all about the cyber world! #TWchats


replying to @VWT_Travel @VWT_Travel @FourSeasons Agree. Vietnam is a great place for families to explore. So much to see and do, from a wonderful culture, natural wonders, active adventures and history as well. #TWChats

replying to @MyFamilyGenie @MyFamilyGenie Lucky kids! You're definitely a cool mom. #TWchats

replying to @AKTravel_USA @AKTravel_USA @ValerieChenTAW Q2: Some of our favorite adventure destinations for families include #Alaska and #JacksonHole. Both offer family-friendly fun and activities for all ages (think wildlife spotting, hiking, biking, and more!). Here are some more destinations we <3: https://t.co/CG6d7OFCnH. #TWChats

replying to @AKTravel_USA @AKTravel_USA @ValerieChenTAW A2 plenty of places along #USGulfCoast. For instance @SeeCoastalMS is super fun for families with boat tours, fun museums, and the Mississippi Aquarium opening soon. But the sunsets are unreal! #SecretCoast #MSCoastLife #travel #TWchats


replying to @ShermansTravel @ShermansTravel @AKTravel_USA I haven't been to either destination. yet! Dying to go. #TWchats
