Younger people on South Pacific cruise around Easter?

Can we expect more teens / younger children even college age on Marina March 19 to April 6, Papeete to LA?

A teenager out of school for 17+ days?

I believe that her point was that Easter falls on the 16th, so the school break might fall then.

I'd think yes do to school holiday time.

We had one teenager on our South Pacific cruise in 2014. She was a delightfully, well-mannered young lady. Can't recall if the cruise was over Easter/Spring break, but know she did get permission to miss extra days of class and was actually doing homework and writing papers while on ship and emailing them to her teachers! Quite impressive :).

Don't recall seeing any on Marina 4/4/15-4/21/15 Papeete to Lima. We celebrated Easter on Moorea 4/5.

We were on board last April, Papeete to Lima. I don't remember any kids or even teens on board on our 17 day sailing. School schedules would not allow this much time off.

"Spring break" in our part of the US spans a five or six week period. Most schools give one week sometime between mid March to mid April, a few give two weeks.

How about the home schooled children? On our trip from Sydney to Papeete there were two teenagers traveling with their mom and their tutor/nanny. They were in the owners suite and the nanny was in an adjoining/closeby room.

I would think even if they had children onboard that route they would be minimal in number

We have been lucky & the most we have had on 1 sailing was 8 this was during the summer

We were on it last March and I don't recall seeing any children. That being said, a very few would be on that long cruise and I can't see why it would matter.

There were around a dozen children on last week's Caribbean cruise ranging from a toddler to tweens. All seemed to be well supervised and/or well behaved. A little splashing in the pool but nothing too egregious.

To be direct....NO. why? cost, time and the services on the ships What is a kid going to do for some 10 days at sea in 5- 3 and 2 day segments? with nothing to do but play trivia during some 20 days heck call it 3 weeks...!!!!
