HAL with kids

We've found a great deal on a spring break cruise out of Fort Lauderdale... with a 7 day, Caribbean itinerary during Easter week, am I right to think there will be plenty of kids on board, even on HAL?

Bueller? :) Depart date is 3/31 and while it doesn't have to be teeming with kids, I'm hoping there would be some families then?

Very few, I’m afraid. HAL does not cater to kids at all (I don’t mean this as an “anti-child” statement) so really, the only time I’ve noticed many on board has been at Christmas.

I will say that my nieces loved the kids’ club and didn’t want to leave.

There will be children onboard, but Spring Breaks do vary from school to school so the number won't likely be as high as for holiday sailings. My son has been onboard HAL sooner New Year's when 300 kids were onboard and just before Memorial Day when only 32 kids were onboard and then somewhere in-between ok our Alaska sailing. He had fun each time and Club HAL did a good job.

I don't know which ship you are sailing on, but we have seen lots of children on 7 day cruises at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It'll be Spring Break. You'll see kids.

we did Hal Koningstam out of FLL over New Years (with our kids) and there were plenty of kids and young families. They told me that in a typical week, there might be 20 kids, but over breaks more like 200 or so, and for our sold-out cruise more like 400. I think that most didn't go to the kid clubs, but there were typically around 8-20 or so kids in the kid club for 8 year olds.

IMO, go for it, it'll be fine.

My family and a few of our friends with teens are booked on this very cruise. There is a spring break in Georgia so there should be plenty of kids.
