Hi:

We are booked on Golden Princess 1/9/05, 5 of us, 3 teenage girls. We cruised last February on RCCL Navigator and it was overun by teenagers. Of course, my kids had the time of their life.

Now, I was wondering if there will be any children their age because school is in session in Jan 2005...

Has anyone cruised this week last year? I am hoping their are some kids but not 900 like the RCCL cruise February last year.

I'd like to hear anyone's experience.

Thanks Sophia

Sophia:

I haven't been on Princess in January, however, I have been on HAL (1/04) and Carnival (Pride 1/03) and there have been very few children. There were a few more on Carnival than HAL, however, Carnival has more of a children's/teen program than HAL. Plus the teens had their own disco which they all disappeared to every evening. They were VERY well behaved!

It also depends on exactly when you're cruising...first 2 weeks of January (after the New Year holiday)...very nil, the last two weeks...starts to pick up.

Maybe some others could tell you about Princess, but that's been my experience with 2 other lines. We're trying our first Princess on the Golden in a week and I'm really looking forward to it.

I also haven't cruised at that particular time, but we have cruised twice with Princess during the reg. school year. Both times, there were kids onboard. Not a ton, but maybe 75-80 ranging from 3 yrs. to 15 yrs. My sons loved it! The pools weren't crowded, they had more fun with the kids' program activities and it was a quieter, calmer atmosphere onboard.

I've sailed Princess for 10 years but not that week..but I do have 4 daughters who have graduated from college in the last year..and what I can tell you is most colleges are still out on break until the 15th, 16th or 17th of January....so you may have teenagers on ship with their parents as they ARE on college break..Happy cruising..:).. =dunno if that increases the odds of more kids for sure positve. but I'd bet it does!!..;)..Joanne

I was on the Golden Princess last year and it was classy,amazing service, superb food and a incredibly beautiful ship. Something not expected from a large ship like this. You will enjoy the trip I am sure.
