Will my kids be the only ones on the Epic Western Mediterranean 02-03-2016

Hey all! Just trying to find out how many, if any, other children we will have on board our cruise. Last time we did an NCL cruise during the school year, there were less than a dozen teens.

 

We are bringing 3 of our children; a 16yo son, a 13yo son and a 9yo daughter.

 

It would be nice to know what to expect... Shout back if you are bringing kids.

 

See you all soon!

You'd probably have more success asking over on your voyage's roll call:

Yup. Stopped there first as that was my first thought as well. Not much luck.

We did a Med cruise on the Jade in February of 2011. There weren't many kids on that cruise at all, but there were still enough that my kids enjoyed some activities at the kids club. (There was an awful lot of "free play" instead of organized activities, which didn't please my daughters as much.) Not all the kids spoke English, either, but my kids are fluent in French, so they were able to communicate with more of the kids, which helped.

 

We did the Jade/Med again in 2013, but this time in March, and there were more kids and more organized activities. But only 4 teens showed up for the teen program, and they ended up canceling almost everything, so my oldest was disappointed.

Considering about 5% of people on your cruise are on CC, and of those, only a tiny % will likely see and open this poll, I can't imagine what you are hoping to accomplish. But like me, I hope many others give fake answers because we simply like answering polls!

In the Med, because it is such a port intensive cruise, most days, you are off the ship by 8am for tours and come back around 5 or 6 pm, have dinner and go to a show so I'm not all that sure when your kids might hang out with other kids or have time to enjoy the kids clubs except the perhaps 1 day at sea on your itinerary. But there are so many other things to do on Epic, even if there is not even 1 other kid onboard, they are going to be super busy.
