Childfree Cruise Recap: Sun, Sea and Shenanigans

Step aboard for a tale of childfree adventure with our cruise director, Katie Hart, as she recaps her group’s recent trip to the Caribbean. Read about the discoveries, camaraderie, and memories that'll make you wish you'd stowed away with them.

Luckily, we don’t have to wait too long for the next excursion.

Katie will be hosting a trip to Costa Rica from February 5-9, 2025 at an all-inclusive, adult-only resort. Relax or adventure as much as you choose while being with other childfree people!

CHOOSING CHILDFREE

No Kids, No Limits: More decisions the childfree don’t have to make.

Toy and Game Selection: You won't need to choose or budget for age appropriate toys, games, and entertainment for young children. And your house won’t look like a toy store exploded.

Child's Clothing and Wardrobe: You won't need to shop for children's clothing or worry about growing out of clothes quickly.

Dental Care and Oral Hygiene: You won't need to monitor and manage your child's dental and oral hygiene routines or find and put finances toward a pediatric dentist.

TRENDING: Childfree Celebs

Twitter's ablaze again!

Seth Rogen's childfree stance has the conservatives up in arms. But seriously, who hasn't seen the meme? Rogen's been living the childfree dream for ages. So what's the big fuss?

Instead of losing it over his life choices, maybe focus on, we don't know, more pressing matters? Like, say, the state of the world or why pineapple doesn't belong on pizza. Just a suggestion.

Across the pond, comedians Katherine Ryan and London Hughes discussed the impact of children, or the lack thereof, on their careers. London, now in Los Angeles, shares her decision to remain childfree, drawing inspiration from Oprah:

“Oprah Winfrey said she would never be Oprah Winfrey if she was a mother,” London told Katherine. “And I would rather be Oprah than a mother. Respectfully.”
