Olwyn Posted January 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We are sailing on the Emerald out of Ft. Lauderdale on January 31st with my 5 year old niece...and I am hoping that there will be other kids on board for her to play with. Has anyone else sailed in February with children? Thanks so much! Olwyn P.S. No one on our roll call seems to have kids!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted January 12, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2010 February is not a prime time for families with children to take cruises. But there should be some her age on the ship. I've heard that Princess will sometimes divulge info about the number of children on a particular sailing. Perhaps your travel agent can inquire on your behalf.

Rare sunluva7 Posted January 12, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2010 You won't find as many as those on a cruise during a typical school break. There will always be parents who will pull their kids out of school, especially the younger grades, and there may be younger preschoolers, so your 5-year old should have some company.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomars_girl Posted January 12, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Schoolchildren here get a break later in February. The last day before the break is 2/12 and they go back on 2/22. I would expect a lot of children that week, but not early February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapchick Posted January 13, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2010 There won't be many.... Your TA should be able to find out the numbers, but be prepared for very few to be on board. The vast majority of kids will be in school at that point. We did a transatlantic crossing in early September a few years ago and my DD, 4 at the time, was one of TWO kids on board. It was very tough on both kids in many ways. Be prepared for a handful of kids at best, and none at worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
