Hi. We are going in July 2024, will there likely be many 17 year olds?

Certainly more families cruise during the Summer.

You might want to state more info, such as Itinerary/ship/etc.

I'm a dope sorry! It's on pride of america, 27th July, week long cruise around the hawaiin islands

School's out, so... 

Yes. More than likely there will be a lot of kids.  Teens included.

do you have kids and want to know if they will make new friends onboard?

 

or are you trying to avoid kids? (in which case, july would be a horrible month to sail)

Since that is the middle of summer, there will be a significant number of teenagers on the ship. Winter break, Spring break and summer are peak time for kids and families.

There's no Roll Call yet for that sailing, but once there is be sure to join.   

The most common advice I've seen about teens meeting new friends is for them to attend the kid's club the first event to connect with the others - then they'll likely work out future meetups on their own.  

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks all. We have a teen and are concerned that this itinerary would be mainly adults 35plus due to the cost and type of cruise. Great news.

Not sure what cost has to do with it. If teen is third or fourth pax as those usually big discount.  Summer plenty of kids.  As suggested, register first day at club and have them go first night.

Or, they could start the Roll Call themselves.

And put out the question of other teens right up front.

For that time of year, I would expect a decent group of them.
