V8Babe Posted February 11, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sorry to bring this up and I don't want to start any 'arguments'. I've read lots about children on board and I know every cruise is different but was hoping for information on what people have experienced in the past. We're doing a seven day cruise - Monte Carlo to Rome in July 2011 - yes, I know, the middle of summer. Can anyone who has done something similar, itinerary/time wise - let me know if there were a lot of kids on board given that it's summertime? We didn't even think of this when we booked and I've just been reading on another board about children and I'm hoping we won't be inundated (hope I can say that ;)) I have nothing against children (have one of my own) but don't want to holiday with a bunch of them. We had a couple of kids on our Whisper cruise last September and you hardly knew they were on-board. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan07470 Posted February 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2010 These are not kid friendly cruises. I do not believe that I have ever seen more than two children and they were very sophisticated teenagers. Your kids will not enjoy. When kids aren't happy neither are their parents. I have seen children on Tauck Tours albeit a land option. I have even taken my own kids on them when they were younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfathomable Posted February 14, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Short cruises in the summer do mean more kids. You could be unlucky, but if you must travel in July, your chances of badly-behaved children running riot are reduced on a high-end line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmourges Posted February 15, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I was on Silver Cloud last March, around Easter, in the Caribbean, which I would think is not unlike the Med during the summer. I was surprised to find about 10 - 12 kids (most with one large extended family). They were a tad unruly and unfortunately the crew did little, if anything, to "slow them down".
