    The film promotes the love of all families, including loving depictions of adoptive children.
 

What to watch out for

    Two church groups protest the cruise's arrival in the Bahamas, but no one is injured. They just say mean things.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Gay couples kiss, but nothing provocative.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Some drinking of alcohol, but in moderation.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise

Parents need to know that children cry due to anti-gay protests in the Bahamas. Gay and lesbian couples are shown in loving relationships and as part of families that include children and heterosexual parents and children, which may prompt children to ask questions about sexual orientation. Couples also discuss alternative forms of having children, including adoption, sperm banks, and surrogacy. Teens talk about discrimination they've experienced because their parents are gay. But overall, the message here is of love of family.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about all the different ways to form a family. What sort of alternative families do kids see in their school and among their friends? Especially for children who have been adopted, have a single parent, or are from other kinds of alternative families, this is a great opportunity to ask them to talk about what the experience has been like for them. Have they felt discriminated against? If so, what do they think of the protests against their families? What would you do if someone protested against your family? How would you feel?
