Sue,

Is Constellation likely to "be full of young people" over Christmas. No, it certainly won't be full of them, but there will be 3-4 times as many on board as the week after New Years or the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is prime family cruising time for those that can afford it. Most of them will be traveling with their families.

You can minimize some of the potential problems by signing up for second seating for dinner, since most (though not all) of the families with smaller kids usually attend the early seating. And, this puts you in the cycle of show performances while the majority of small kids are eating. And, if by chance you are seated with unruly children ask for a table change immediately. It will be gladly granted. There will be no way to escape the mayhem around the pool, but that's life.

Constellation is a wonderful ship and you're going to have a great time. Don't stress about the kids. Half of making a cruise as wonderful as it can be is in the attitude you bring on board.
