mfbs Posted February 12, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted February 12, 2009 because I thought since kids were not on vacation where we live that there wouldn't be very many..... Actually I am starting to think it might be fun because we don't have grandchildren yet but have a pool and we really enjoy having all the kids over and having fun with them but then the parents take them home!

justplanecrazy Posted February 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I will be on the Crown the week before you. I actually called Princess a couple of weeks ago and they were able to give me an exact count of children under 17 that will be on the ship. We will have under 350 registered for our cruise and was told they allow up to 700. We were on the Star last August and there were 425 children.

bubbadog Posted February 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yes i agree,almost certain that,you will have quite a few onboard,But this should'nt be any problem,just relax,and focus on having fun,and let your hair down,and ignore all the rest lol;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted February 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We will be on this cruise as well. My wife is a teacher, and we have cruises the last three spring breaks for her. Lots of kids, but not too bad. In my looking around, there are few colleges having spring break that week, and some of the south Florida school districts have spring break the week after. Might not be all that bad... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfbs Posted February 12, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted February 12, 2009 thanks for the information... that doesn't seem like a lot of kids to me but when I read threads about Christmas or summer cruises and people really complaining alot about the kids I get concerned. We think it's fun having kids around but from what I have been reading kids take over the ships and I don't mean to be negative but that would not be a relaxing cruise for us. That being said we like all the different age groups and think the mix is so much more fun. In our work life we are around people our age every day so the mixture of ages we really like. We have been on 5 cruises and never noticed a problem but maybe we are cruising at different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdptalk Posted February 12, 2009 #12 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We will be on this cruise. It is spring break here in Indy that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemy70 Posted February 12, 2009 #13 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Spring Break for some parts of Colorado, also. We will be there with 2 kids. Our neighboring county is off the week before us, so they stagger it quite a bit. The breaks are not that related to Easter anymore, from what I can tell.

debgirl Posted February 13, 2009 #14 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My friend and I are both teachers in the Overland Park KS area--(two different school districts) and we will be on the Crown March 15th which is our spring break. So it looks like the whole month of March is spring breaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted February 13, 2009 #15 Share Posted February 13, 2009 As of now, there are over 340 kids on our March 28th Ruby cruise and I would expect more to book in the next 6 weeks. (very typical numbers) I would expect about the same numbers for your cruise too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
