Do cruise lines welcome families with kids?

Yes. The cruiselines have discovered that more families will cruise if they take their children. And build a future clientele at the same time!! They have kids clubs on board to keep them happy!!

However, some cruiselines ARE adult only..........and some cruiselines have adult only cruises. Sue is right in that all of your mass market cruiselines welcome kids.

Which cruiselines are those Jim????

I knew you were going to ask that............and of course it slips my mind.........I'll have to look it up in my cruise atlas for 2005........

It is the age thing..........but I know they exist

Unfortunately, if you don't want a cruise over run with kids, don't cruise ( June - August ).. The unfortunate thing is alot of kid are left to run wild all over the ship at all hours, day and night.. Their parents are on vacation too and don't want to put up with them, so they cut them loose, so you can deal with them. Unfortunately the ships officers and crew will do nothing to stop them, for fear of offending the parents and a possible future booking..

Do Princess cruises allow kids? I tried to get a quote online for one and it said my son was too young. He's 2. Is this what you all have found or did I just do something wrong? That's totally possible!!

Yes Princess does allow kids. But he won't be allowed into the kid's zone until he is three and potty trained. You can take him into the kids zone, but you or his dad, or both have to stay with him!! There are lots of kids on Princess, but they have to be 6 months old or more to cruise!! And when you book, ask for a child's crib for the cabin. He will be too little for a top bunk.

Well, I figured it was just something I did wrong!

No, not at all!! May be just the wrong place to ask. If you want to check with a TA that specializes with princess, just email me. My email is in my profile under interests!!
