A few hundred.

A few hundred.

 

Oh wow thats more than I expected, thank you

Lots? Almost None?

 

Seriously, although there will be a lot more than in say, Sept, it can vary greatly from cruise to cruise. You can call Princess and ask for a breakdown for the cruise you are considering.

If you are interested in the number on a specific cruise, call Princess and they will tell you.

As this is a time that kids are generally out of school, anytime between late June and late August could have kids.

I've gone on the majority of my Alaska cruises in July. There are a fair amount.

I would not say 100s. I'd say maybe 100, at most 200.

If you were sailing on Golden Princess, which is a bigger ship, which attracts more of a younger croud, you can get up to 200, since the ship is big and has more attractions.

While say the Sea Princess (the ship I sail on) is mid sized. I never saw that many kids.

You are likely to have a lot fewer kids on a Voyage of the Glaciers cruise (between Whittier and Vancouver) than on the Inside Passage cruise (roundtrip Seattle) that you have just booked. And way back in 2000 I sailed the roundtrip San Francisco on a mid-sized ship (now done on Sea Princess) and it was teeming with both small kids and teenagers, so much that they waived the age restriction in the disco at night. If too many kids are a deal-breaker for you, its not too late to switch.

In 2009 we did a 10 day cruise on th Sea Princess out of SF at the end of the season and there were very few childern onboard.

Hmm...The cruiseline will give out this info...thought that would be a privacy issue :confused:

I've also heard there are probably more kids on the RT cruises, especially out of Seattle. A few yrs ago our June RT Seattle had 150 kids. I'm not sure how many were on our July RT Vancouver but there didn't seem to be as many (we didn't have any kids traveling with us that time so I didn't call to ask).

It would only be an estimate on my part but about 300 or so. That will vary somewhat by the line, Disney having the most and HAL having the fewest.
