DCL for childless couples

[DisneyPrincess21]

Me (26) & my parents (55) & (58) will be taking our second Disney cruise in January and we love DCL!
We have never felt out of place or bombarded by children. We love the family atmosphere that DCL provides because it feels safe & we truly enjoy the family atmosphere.

There are plenty of adult only areas on board, but honestly the kids are so in love with their special "kids only" areas of the ship, that even if you decide to "venture" out of the adult only areas, the kids are not really that noticeable.

We would never cruise with anyone but DCL!

I agree with Ed above, I just do not think that a lot of kids will be on a 14 day cruise especially since it is during the period that school is in. I could be wrong, but from the people I know that have booked, its been all adults. Not that I know a lot - but I do know a few LOL.... Plus I don't think a lot of people working can take 14 days off of work at a time. So I expect it to probably be an older crowd on the cruise.

Just returned from the Caribbean on the Magic which sailed on the 24th. The ship had just returned from the "Med" for the summer the morning of the 24th and it's Transatlantic return.

The crew noted that the "Med" does not have the nearly amount of children on them that the Bahamas and Caribbean sailings have due to the cost of the flight for one and the length of time away even though the "Med" cruises are typically 7 days. The same goes for the Transatlantic sailings also.

I agree with the earlier poster that a 14 day Hawaii cruise will definately have less children due to the length of the trip.

Hope this helps.

We did take our children (ages 4 and 7) and vowed that our next Disney cruise will be withOUT them so that we can have more time to devote to all the wonderful adult activities.

(They did go to the kid's club twice and LOVED it; did not want to be picked up either time.)

Seriously, the place was not overrun with kids, most kids - with the exception of my daughter - were well-mannered, and we really are planning to go back for some alone time without them, so I'd have no hesitation telling anyone to go without kids.
