Have you ever been on a cruise with zero children?

In my experience as a GM of 15 GC, nope not all mine, our children and grandchildren, are our future.  That doesn't mean I want a lot of misbehaving children on any of my cruises, however, the saying, "teach your children well", rings true for me in so many ways.  

 

So easy to avoid an over-abundance of children:  

book cruises when children are in school

never book a cruise in summer, holidays such as Xmas/NYE or spring breaks

and book longer cruises in off season. 

 

My late DH and I did a B2B in 2015... 12 day + 13 day... I doubt we saw any children on either cruise.

Yes, several, all on Oceania.

A few years ago we did a B2B. The first leg had well under 20 children. We didn’t even know children were on board. It was heaven. The second leg well over 500. It was hell.

No, but we can hope.  We tried booking on Holland, longer cruises, never during holidays, fall breaks, spring breaks, summer breaks, but with home schooling and parents taking them out, it's just impossible.  Who goes on a Holland cruise for 10+ days with average age of 70 and brings 2 kids under 10?
