dland4us Posted October 25, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Is there an adults only area on Konsingdam? Is it truly "adults only"? We have cruised on Oosterdam and it didn't seem that the "adult area" was in fact, an adults area. We do love the little ones, however, we love to have quite time on deck while cruising.

Rare Tapi Posted October 25, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2020 We sailed on the sister ship, Nieuw Statendam. Avoid the Lido Pool (center pool) since this one is popular with families. Go to the Sea View Pool (aft) which is the adults only pool. With that said, there were only 110 children on our sailing (my children included) out of 2,600+ passengers so their impact was minimal.

Yes, it's called club Hal.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On longish cruises I saw less than 10 children on the K’dam. Some were Officer’s children. It’s the nature of HAL.. no kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stateroom_Sailor Posted October 26, 2020 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Yeah, it is the whole ship! Actually I almost got kicked in the face by a kid on Celebrity in Alaska. He was about 8 years old, practicing karate jump kicks, around a blind hallway corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted October 26, 2020 #8 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Don’t sail during the holidays or school breaks and you should be ok. Sail for more than 11 days or more and you increase the probability of an adult only sailing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvertoGold Posted October 26, 2020 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2020 In sum : if you do not want a lot of children around, do choose (1) long cruises, more than 3 weeks (2) to more exotic locations (3) when school is in. Asia, C America, South Pacific are good choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They understand this is not a month long party but a wondrous journey. I had teenagers across the hall on my last VOV and they were a delight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They understand this is not a month long party but a wondrous journey. I had teenagers across the hall on my last VOV and they were a delight. We had two quite young children on our 30 day Prinsendam sailing. While technically there is no Club HAL, Prinsendam had two trained people for such experiences. The children were a delight, well behaved, beautiful and out and about in different places with their HAL caregivers to experience different areas. Their parents often came to check on them and participate. The children were such a hit that they and their parents were invited to every VIP party. The Captain made a point of showing them the chocolate fountain and how it worked. I still remember 1of4’s beautiful children on our Panama Cruise which was a longer one (33 days I think?). they were dressed beautifully and just so enjoyable. They were welcome at all our get togethers. Captain Van Eerten had special cupcakes made for them at our 2nd meet and greet 😉 They joined us at Le Cirque after Club HAl ended and the waiters even offered them dessert (they declined). Children can be a real joy when they have the right parents 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't mind it at all we were talking with the kids who were supper polite., some others people did not like having kids around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
