gazingm42 Posted May 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We cruising again Carnival Spirit to Alaska, but with out kids this time. Our kids have cruised 4 or 5 times to the Islands. But what kind of numbers of kids can we expect in Alaska? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeleBrat Posted May 6, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2008 There will be far fewer kids on an Alaskan cruise than on a Caribbean one. Sun/Fun cruises are just more popular with families/kids. We did take our kids on the NCL Star a few years ago, and they were definitely in the minority. Probably less than 200 kids total on the whole ship. Have fun!

Rare karatemom2 Posted May 6, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We have found that both of our Alaska cruises had plenty of kids for ours to socialize with, yet not an overwhelming amount. On our Princess cruise last summer there were just over 400 kids from 3-17. I'm not sure how many were on our NCL cruise the year before, but it seemed comparable to our Princess cruise.

We found the same thing on our Alaskan cruise on Princess last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerchild Posted May 9, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2008 On our mid-May 2007 Alaska cruise, I cannot recall one child. It was way too cold for kids to be in the pool, I can tell you that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaklang Posted May 10, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2008 We are going next week to Alaska with our 11 month old. Some friends are bringing their almost-two-year-old too. I'm sure we will not be the only ones with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPIcruiser Posted May 11, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2008 aaklang, we will get on the Infinity after you deboard. We are going with our 15 month old and our 35 month old. I know there were kids on our Alaska cruise in 2003, but I don't remember if we saw a lot of them or not. We went to Bermuda Labor Day weekend two years ago and I think there were less than 100 kids on that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaWorley Posted May 14, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We are taking our kids on an Alaska cruise next month (wow, coming up quickly) We are getting married and my kids are 6 and 9. We have 30 people traveling with us and 8 kids total in our group. We are all from Florida so we've all get to do the 'beach' thing all the time. We are looking forward to the more crisp weather and beautifully different scenery! My kids have been studying Alaska animals, geography and other facts so they are going to be our little tour guides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
