cruisingaussies Posted July 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thinking of booking Regatta for the Christmas /New year cruise. Generally speaking, are there usually lots of kids on a holiday cruise? I know Oceania normally doesn’t have kid’s programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanandJim Posted July 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Depends on the length of the Cruise. Kids are generally scarce, but when school is out, generous parents and/or grandparents will sometimes spring for their fare . I would suggest comparing school calendars with the dates of your cruise, if you would like to guestimate. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted July 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Oceania rarely runs cruises concurrent with school holidays. I believe this is done purposely. When this exact question was asked a couple months backI believe that a quick review of Oceania Christmas time frame cruises yielded one possible cruise that school age children could possibly take. That’s one cruise on one ship out of six ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysteps Posted July 27, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) We were on Insignia for 14 nights starting 12/27/2018. There were "lots" of kids by O standards, perhaps 10-14 total irrc? Some folks debarked a few days early, including a family with 3 of the kids who wanted not to miss school days. No behavioral issues that I observed.

Rare LHT28 Posted July 27, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2019 lots of kids on Oceania is nothing compared to other cruise lines We had 40 on last summer as I said before I only saw 10 so not sure where they hid the others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingaussies Posted July 27, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks for all the replies. This cruise departs 21 December to 06 January, so it is peak summer school holidays in Australia but in the US I think you only have about two weeks and school is back around 02 January? Looks like it’ll be fine, not too many kids then even though it is over Christmas/New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it is from Bali to Australia it may attract more Australians with or without kids Hard to say but usually they have something to keep the kids occupied (if they choose to join in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
