WE too like to stay clear of scads of kids, but some are certainly ok. Our last cruise was Celebrity ove Thanksgiving week. We had no choice, grand kids (high school and college) were out for break. Anyway the ship was loaded with kids, but with rare exceptions they did not bother anyone. There was a family down the hall with about 4 kids. On occassion, while they waited for the elevator right outside our cabin things got a little noisey and I got a bit testy, but other than that everything went great. Late Feb should be pretty clear of kids. Spring breaks don't normally start until March and any winter breaks are normally over by then.
