Caribbean cruising at easter time - kids??

[jojo1966]

Hi

 

How popular are the Caribbean cruises around Easter with US families? Have one booked on Reflection (not till 2019) and was wondering whether it is likely to be "populated" with a lot of children - or are families more likely to opt for Royal Caribbean???

 

Thanks

Shorter cruises have more families, longer cruises have fewer but that is a popular time for kids

Have done a couple of Celebrity 7day cruises at Easter and there are loads of kids.

Very popular for families with children.. we booked Easter week by mistake one year...tons of children..

 

But on Celebrity they were well behaved, dressed so nice and seemed to enjoy the Easter oriented decor and events

 

But lots of kiddos

 

Also cruised once on Royal C..same week from Miami...lots of kiddos roaming free...wild and crazy scene!

We were on Silhouette this past Easter week. We expected loads of children, and for that reason booked Aqua Class. However, there were very few (I would guess about 75 or maybe less). It may have to something to do with the fact that Easter was late this year.

Yes, lots of children on the 7 day cruises both week before and week after Easter due to different school schedules in US. For that reason, we have been taking the 14 day Eclipse sailing during the Easter period. Really cuts down on the number of children onboard. However, this itinerary is not being offered after April of 2018. Really hope that Celebrity reconsiders its decision to end this itinerary. The ship has always been sold out, so clearly there is a market.
