Q: My wife, daughter Ashley,son Garrett and I went on a MSC Orchestra cruise in January 2009. My daughter seemed to have really enjoyed herself, using some of her Spanish speaking skills on other passangers and crew members, particularly the Los Paraguayos. She enjoyed it so much that my wife and I are thinking of sending her and a few friends on another MSC cruise as a graduation gift, do you think we should consider this or no? 5 answers

Is your daughter graduating from high school or college? My answer would depend on how old she is. If she's just graduated from high school, there's no way in the world I'd let her go, particularly to be with Los Paraguayos. Some men are not to be trusted!

My daughter is graduating from high school. I met with the Los Paraguayos, and they were very nice and caring men, they seemed to have really enjoyed Ashley's company and they said that if she worked a little harder, she could have great Spanish speaking abilities. She's 17 now, depending on when we can find a cruise departing, she may be 18, I just don't know what to say or do.

Most children work very hard at university and if they are lucky they get a job. Mine were at 2 of the 'top' universities in the world and worked like the clappers to get good degrees in 2 very hard subjects and on to perceived reasonable graduate jobs. They were sensible with their allowances, had very little time to go mad between sports and studies and came out with no debt. Luck? No, just caring parents and a work ethic that had to be seen to be believed.

Goodness me, this is an entirely personal decision. My son wouldn't have thanked you for a cruise as a grad. pressie but he certainly loved the car we bought him. Only you know your daughter. J
