re: Question about Cruises for both cruise fans and haters.

I don't get some of you. OP doesn't like cruises. We're talking about $5k (assuming anything without the Disney label is 50% off) to indulge someone else's wants, not yours, or your kids. Your kids don't care if they're on Orange Beach, or 30A, or nearly anywhere but Galveston or Norfolk.
Unless you have a will from them showing that they're giving you (not your kids) over $100k+ when they die, their preferences are just that. Their preferences. I choose to contribute to my kids' 529s and my own IRA, rather than spend an unnecessary $8k on a tub of bullshite to make *them* happy. Again, I'd rather take them to Europe for nearly the same cost. I'm not paying hundreds of dollars a night for waffles shaped like Mickey ears, ever, ever, again.

It’s your in laws or your parents…your family? His wife wants to vacation with her parents….it’s once every 5 years. You can’t make everyone happy here every vacation. I’d love to go on a week long hunting trip every year and take my family but that ain’t happening, so I do it every couple years. We don’t go to Disney often but I go for my kids occasionally.
It really comes down to if the spouse enjoys doing it with her parents and the grandkids enjoy it. If they do, as the only one that does it’s really your family duties to just suck it up.
