aquafit Posted September 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hello! I have always chosen longer length transatlantic sailings to avoid the school holidays, they are always great cruises, but I think I've made a big mistake after reading some of the roll calls/fb groups for this upcoming trip..it's half term holiday in UK! Are any seasoned cruisers out there who have experienced this before, will it be overrun with kids or still a quieter vibe? I have the option of changing to another crossing in November but was looking forwards to trying Anthem(never been on this one before) Feedback welcome please!

gumshoe958 Posted September 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Half term (for most schools, except the posh ones) is only a week so it won’t be an issue. TAs are rarely attractive to families with kids due to their length, high proportion of sea days and one-way nature. There’ll be a few kids but it certainly won’t be overrun with them.

Thanks for the reassurance, this is why I booked transatlantic, but I'm seeing so many posts about kids/vaccines etc that I'm having a rethink! Fingers crossed it will be ok x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it will be ok x We have done several transatlantic leaving the last two weeks of October. Never more than a handful of kids. Our last TA on Symphony only had 6 kids under 16 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
