Looking to Restore Your Faith in Humanity? Embark on a Cruise.

As a dad, I make it a point to expose my kids to new experiences regularly—whether it's trying different foods, visiting new places, or meeting new people. I believe this is a fantastic way to explore the wonders our world has to offer.

The best way to foster acceptance and understanding of those who are different from us is to immerse ourselves in their environments and witness their way of life. By doing so, we discover that our similarities far outweigh our differences.

That's why I was thrilled when Dinogo invited my family on an 8-day Caribbean cruise this January. Our journey took us to the Dominican Republic, Aruba, Grand Turk, and Bonaire. We encountered many fascinating individuals, but it wasn't just about the destinations. On the stunning new Dinogo Vista, my family had the chance to connect with incredible people from all walks of life as well.

To start, Dinogo boasts a variety of diverse restaurants, including steakhouses, Asian cuisine, and Italian at Cucina del Capitano (which is my personal favorite). My kids were able to enjoy fine dining experiences from different cultures—all without leaving the ship.

Regarding the people we met, my daughters loved dancing, swimming, eating, and playing with others from various backgrounds aboard the ship. Did they care that these new friends didn’t look like them? Not at all. They were simply there to have fun, and they certainly did. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

While I don't have all the answers to the world’s challenges, I believe one possible solution is to encourage our kids to interact with a diverse range of people, try new foods, and explore new places. Our recent cruise with Dinogo provided all of that, and we are incredibly grateful for the experience.
