Adult cruises

[deborahjo]

Would you sail on an adult only cruise? We cruise April and October because there are fewer kids. My choice. Don't flame me.

 

I would love to see a 7 or 8 day cruise just for adults. Wonder if Carnival would consider this option several times a year?

While there are no absolutes, they already do. It is called Holland America, and you will pay for that premium.

That is why I said Carnival not Carnival Corp.

My reply stands. Carnival Corp very much believes that each of their lines fulfill different markets. They purposely try not to overlap the lines.

[Trumpster]

To be honest, even though I have kids, I doubt I would be interested. I have found some adults to be way more annoying than kids.

 

I would take a cruise without the kids, but not on Carnival.

Princess, Celebrity, Divina Yacht Club, maybe HAL and certainly Cunard.

 

NCL, Royal and Carnival for family trips.

[The4Cruisers]

Yeah, we hope for fewer kids when we sail too, but it is what it is. But, if CCL did offer an adults only cruise, we'd be game to sail it.

 

On a light-hearted note...

 

Just think, they could have a R rated comedy show at 8 & 11PM. No worries about getting into the comedy club. :D

 

And you can have the Camp Carnival staff do activities and entertainment that are geared toward adults.

 

They can also have the ones with talent perform onstage so we don't have to see the gawd-awful guest talent show either! :rolleyes:

We purposely cruise May/June/Sept/Oct when the child count is at it's lowest...but honestly, it's hardly been a problem...we don't frequent the pool area (kids or not)...the adult areas of the ship (or our own balcony) provide peace and quiet when desired....

I cruised the Carnival Miracle once in January, 2010, to Panama. I may have been the youngest on board, and I was 59 then.

 

The amount of motorized scooters and wheelchairs as well as walkers made it hazardous to walk in public areas and created even longer lines.

 

A few months ago, I researched HA cruises and decided I am still too young for that demographic. There was a thread in HA CC about whether the cabin TV should face the bed or the sofa!

Carnival postures itself as a family friendly cruise line so it isn't likely to happen.

 

Cruise fact: The longer the cruise the fewer the kids.

Cruise fact: The longer the cruise the older the pax.

 

 

Carnival offers longer cruises on a somewhat regular basis. The Journeys cruises are usually 9-12 days and have fewer children.

Really??? I found Holland to be a huge bargain compared to DCL prices on an Alaskan trip... Snorting expensive pixie dust is not cheap.

 

I thought every non-DCL cruise was an adult oriented cruise. Then again.... how "adult" are we talking about?

Aside from one Thanksgiving cruise the children onboard are hardly noticed.

[riffatsea]

We are seniors who travel as a couple . We used to worry about school vacation times with kids on board but lately we've been sailing during spring break and have had NO issues at all with the young ones!

They are kept very busy and don't seem to bother us in any way. Now there are some adults who have no common courtesy out on their balconies who bother us much more!!

Our October HI cruise had around 20 under 18. Practically childless.

 

Is it P&O that has adult only ships?

The big plus for Holland-America is the Passed Guest Party ;)

 

OP, no I would not on Carnival.

[EdmundXXIII]

I've cruised HAL a couple of times and had as much trouble with unruly kids as on Carnival.

 

That said, HAL ships do have better spaces that appeal primarily to adults, like the Crow's Nest on the Vista Class ships.

I meant as compared to Carnival....... Agree on the snorting pixie dust.

I was wondering the same thing about a week ago. But we just got off a cruise with a ton of kids. We were pushed, shoved, cut in front of, had to witness ridiculous demeaning of the staff- but never from a child. The children were quite well behaved. The adults with them were a different story altogether. So now I am wondering how to afford a sea vacation with no other people at all:-)

I hope it was a past guest party and not a passed guest party- that would be a bit morbid.

I haven't been overly bothered by kids on our cruises, though I would very be interested in adults-only cruising. I'd be even more interested to see 100% non-smoking cruises!

Me too! That sounds perfect [emoji4]

[asalligo]

Not really, drunk adults bother me a lot more than any children I have ever encountered.

Yes, this. I sailed once on the non smoking Paradise. Would love to see that come back.

I think it will happen, but not for some time. I was on the Ecstasy earlier this month and there were tons of smokers up on Deck 11, and around the Casino. I was surprised honestly, I didn't think smoking was that common anymore. But, I live in a bigger city and cruises these days attract people from all over.

I want a cruise with no kids, no smokers, no chair hogs and no pro-table cloth folks. And a chocolate on my pillow.
