Carribean Question

[fischymom]

We are going on our 2nd cruise 12 August of 2012, this is going to be a bigger booking (3 cabins) we have the date and decided between 2 ships, Allure and Freedom. Questions- do you think that their will be fewer kids- families because of how close to school starting? And which ship may possibly have less children? Allure because its newer and slightly higher priced?

Only colleges typically start that early....I think you're going to have a fair number of kids on BOTH ships....lots and lots of families do their vacation at the end of the summer, leading up to Labor Day.

Actually that is the problem we are stuck in the middle of we have two college aged cruising with us and one that will be in 8th grade that year. Both are starting the week after we would get back, bummer :D

Not ONLY college.......schools here in FL start in August too.

And I agree with the above also. That is a big vacation time and both ships are popular with families and kids.
