adwolfson Posted November 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm thinking of taking my son, who will have just turned 14, on Celebrity Summit Southern Caribbean cruise in February. Do you think there will be enough kids on that for him to have fun? Will he be bored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that in school days they are not too many kids and less teens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrycol Posted November 18, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 18, 2008 We did that cruise this past February with my three kids. My oldest is only 9 though. There are a lot of port days so we were always off the ship. My kids never got bored and had a great time. I don't think you can go wrong booking this trip.

rebeccalouise Posted November 18, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2008 There will be enough kids to keep your teen entertained onboard. The Millenium Class ships are lovely and I have had a great time on Celebrity- and the teens seem to like it too. Have a great time.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more if you are going during one of the increasingly common winter break periods. 2) No, it is very unlikely that he will be bored on board.

BOTH of you will be fine, because February starts winter break for a lot of schools throughout the country and the end of March is the height of Spring Break! There will be lots of kids and no one will be bored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 3, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2008 There won't be too many children but what I've learned over the years is that if there are just one or two it works out. The kids just start to pal around. The other thing is that a cruise is wonderful whether for the adults or the children and the crew will also focus on the children when there are very few on board. So, I would not be concerned. Think about when you go on a vacation with just the family. There are no kids and the kid(s) still have a great time. I really would not be concerned.

abitaturbodog Posted December 5, 2008 #9 Share Posted December 5, 2008 First off, he'd be much MORE bored if you left him at home! He will love cruising, even if he was the only kid on the ship (which he won't be.) Have you tried the Roll Call for your sailing? That's where my boys have always made friends before we cruise. My advice is to bring him! Our first cruise was without our kids and although it was nice, we spent the whole time saying, "Mike would love this", "Tyler would go crazy for this," etc. We've cruised with them ever since and they have a great time no matter how many kids are on board. Sometimes it's nice to have them all to yourself too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathychiara Posted January 6, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2009 We are bringing 3 families with 3 17 year old girls, a 17 year old boy and two 13 year old boys on the Summit Apr 4. Any other spring break teens? Last year we took this same cruise in Feb and there were about 40 kids total. Mine met one friend each. We have cruised Princess, Costa, Carnival before in addition. Princess had 40 kids during holiday and my kids met friends. Costa had a couple hundred including international and my kids still keep intouch. Carnival had 2000 kids which was overwhelming. Anyway, with beautiful ports and fun activities on shore and aboard, kids always have fun on cruises. I haven't tried to roll call function, but will try it this time as somebody suggested.
