Harmony from Port Canaveral - demographic?

[orville99]

We sail on Oasis out of Port Canaveral about 4 times a year - February, May, August, and October - and have always seen a very international mix on board. As for "drive ins", we've never seen the attached parking garage full on any of our cruises (and we drive in), but do see a steady stream of busses coming down the 528 from the theme park areas going to the port.

 

We just got off of a weekender on Enchantment on Monday, and the garage was at best half full (and Oasis departs on Sunday).

I feel the same about southern accents. So warm and welcoming.  Often, I implore my southern friends to talk "southern" to me.😊

We will talk to y'all however y'all want!

Oh Joe, the Scots are not "foreign", they are our cousins across the pond and there are many  Americans with Scottish ancestry.

I would be happy to meet you especially if you are wearing a KILT, or not😉.

I feel like most of the cruises I've been on, there is always one or more guys wearing a kilt on formal night. Not necessarily from Scotland but celebrating their Scottish heritage.

Your biggest demograph will a LOT of kids.  July is prime time for families with school out.  Families that are coming in from all countries.  Many combine the "land of the mouse" with a cruise.  

 

And now with Coco Cay and the new theme park set up...will be even more.

LOL, islandlady, I am  TOO aware of this being a kids cruise, that is why my  10 year old granddaughter and I are going Yikes!👀  I will be sitting in the Solarium reading with a fruity drink with an umbrella, while she is in the kid's club!🍹

I hope she meets kids from all over the world! 🌏🌍🌎 What an experience IMO.🚢

Yup, your granddaughter and several thousand other kids.  She will indeed be surrounded by them.  😉

I hope the kid's club stays "healthy", if you know what I mean?😮

Some of the most pleasant and courteous cruisers I had ever met were from the Channel Islands....

Sailing out of Port Canaveral on Harmony in July. I haven't sailed from there before, and given that it is known to be a port where many drive in, I'm guessing that it will be a mostly American demographic.

 

Coming from Scotland, I'm slightly worried that I'll be an outsider on this ship. It felt like that on Anthem a few years ago where almost every guest was from NY/NJ. Sailing out of Barcelona on the Symphony last year was nice since no particular nationality dominated the ship, it felt like a good mix of cultures.

 

Anyone who has sailed the Canaveral 7 nighters, what is the typical demographic like?

Probably lots of US families as it is summer vacation for the kids.

Orlando Airport brings in a lot of International flights, so I am sure there will be a good amount of European's on the ship, plus they do Disney for a few days before heading to the ship, so its a win win for them coming so far.
