Stede Bonnet Posted July 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Next year we'll cruise from San Juan with our three (6, 3 and <1). It is a first cruise for everyone and we've booked a large balcony (Celebrity Summit family veranda) My question is should we attempt to join the sailaway party on the public decks? I am concerned that it will be too crowded and noisy for us to really enjoy the experience of leaving the port. Should we stay on our balcony and watch from there instead, leaving the public decks to quieter times? I know we can always try the deck party and leave if it is not enjoyable but I would like the views of others with young children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Of course you should "attempt" it! Lol! I've never heard anyone be too concerned about sailaway! Sailaway isn't a fast process! Go to the public deck, see if the fun atmosphere is for you, and if it isn't, head to your cabin! I don't think your kids will be "freaked out" at all...it's simply folks standing at the rail, looking (and maybe drinking!) as the ship leaves port. Near the pools, there may be some line-dancing going on...folks will wave to the other boats in port.... Sailaway, while a big part of most cruisers plans, isn't some raucous frat party!!

Stede Bonnet Posted July 23, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Lol I have an impression of 2500 persons on spring break eager to make the most of the drinks packages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
