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 @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 @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
