SMN73 Posted February 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I booked a May 19th cruise on Enchantment for my 19 year old daughter and myself. I chose that date because I figured most young kids would still be in school...we are looking to relax and unwind. I just had a lightbulb moment.... If my daughter is out of college so are most of the college kids. For those that have sailed during mid May, what did you find the age range was? I want to avoid spring break part deux. Thanks!

denamo Posted February 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2014 We did a cruise on the Enchantment maybe a week prior to the one you are taking. Very few children overall. A fairly good mix of various ages. Not a Spring Break vibe at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMN73 Posted February 16, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 16, 2014 2-90 Lol.. maybe I should rephrase.... What is the typical atmosphere? Surely there is a different "vibe" during spring break cruises. Is it the same after they are out for the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2014 If this is a week long cruise, the "vibe" will be less hectic than a shorter cruise....shorter trips are always full of partiers....the good thing is you can take part, or not! It's up to you! Since few college-aged kids can actually cruise alone (age limits and all that), you won't find a frat party atmosphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev71 Posted February 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I cruised on the Allure last May and it wasn't too bad there was a few college kids but nothing major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolosmom Posted February 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Since you're in May, most kids are still in school so the number of smaller kids will be less. I really don't think its a Spring break vibe, because the college kids now have all summer, rather than trying to fit they're partying in 1 week :) Also most kids are going home for the summer as opposed to looking for something to do during a break. After Memorial weekend is usually when the summer crowds start filling ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMN73 Posted February 16, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Perfect. Thank you all. I'm looking forward to some of the fun stuff like the belly flop contest and I've heard quest is not to be missed. Controled chaos is what I enjoy. :) This forum has been invaluable. Hope you all know how much us newbies appreciate your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
