Caribbean Travel Writer of the Year
Sharing favorite pursuits with the family's youngsters is one of the many
pleasures of a multigenerational vacation. Snorkeling with them above blue tang
and purple and pink dappled parrotfish at Buck Island Reef National Monument
off St. Croix proved a highlight, even if everything didn't go as planned.
Peacock Alley at the Willard InterContinental Washington, D.C. is special.
One of the capital’s best places for an indulgent afternoon tea, the historic hotel, whose
roots date back to 1818, has served the refreshment since the 1920s. The sophisticated
room embraces a diversity of clientele — hotel guests, women celebrating birthdays,
romantic couples and bridesmaids — but just a few kids. Chalk that up to the price.
On our family Alaska cruise, we stood on the deck staring in amazement at the sheer
size of Hubbard Glacier — a cool icy blue in the sunlight — which stretched for miles
and was backed by gloriously snowcapped mountain peaks. After dreaming of this
moment for months, cruising past this dazzling sight on our first full day onboard Royal
Caribbean’s Radiance of the Seas® reinforced that our family Alaska cruise was the
best choice for us.
