My guess...on trans-Pacific, 22 day-long cruise, during the school year....not many.

[Keith1010]

Very few if any because of the timing of the cruise and its overall length.

Just to give you an idea....14 day Panama Canal cruise Oct. 2005. 3 teens (mines was 1 of them). 1 from Germany, 1 from UK, 1 from USA.

There can alway be a few chlldren but it is really doubful and please keep in mind that the cruise ends in Beijing which is a bit different than a Panama Canal cruise. Now as I say there could be a few children but I wouldn't expect to see many.

Very few, if any. This is the beginning of the school year and most teens that age cannot afford to miss so much school.

And most parents of kids that age can't afford to get away that long or spend the money for this type of cruise.

Absolutely true!

I've done similar cruises and there were NO kids on board whatsoever. Not babies, not toddlers not school age kids. Not many kids can take that much time out of school especially at the beginning of the school year. They would get too far behind their fellow students. And most parents probably can't imagine being on a ship with an infant or toddler for that length of time.

You can always call Princess directly and ask them how many there will be. I wouldn't expect there to be very many, if any.

We did this cruise in 2008 and there were probably 6 - 8 teens (mine was one). You can call Princess and ask. You can also check with your roll-call. Some of us homeschool, some kids are from other countries, There will not be alot of kids but there will, most likely, be some.
