Or, take a look at Celebrity [especially the new ships, Solstice and Equinox], Azamara, and Holland America. You might also want to look at cruises longer than seven days, as those tend to have mostly adults, sometimes mostly retirees!! Go to CruiseCritic.com and click on "Cruise Styles" for a discussion of which lines and ships appeal to different demographics. If you click on "Reviews" and read the "Member Reviews" you'll be able to read comments from past passengers about their cruise experiences. "Boards" has tons of info on all aspects of cruising.

It was unbelievable. It's also pretty pricey as you can imagine. I recommend the Mediterranean. I’ve been on the Crystal Cruise line and it felt like I died and went to heaven. It was unbelievable.

We are both in Education. So we cruise to get away from all of our responsibilities. We have found that if you cruise while schools are in session and choose something longer than 7 days (we tried 10) you will not find many children on board. We only saw 2 the whole cruise. We enjoy Princess a lot, but any good travel agent who specializes in cruises can help you with this. Princess has an adult only area called Sanctuary. This costs about $10 a person/day, but may be worth it to you. I would also pick traditional dining late seating. This will also help. Alaska has fewer kids in May and September. If you have your heart set on the Caribbean a southern cruise will give you an advantage over the eastern or western itineraries. Have a great cruise. We always do.

So without a second thought, I know right away that you should go on Royal Caribbean. It's a great cruise line for both families and couples. There are so many ships with different itineraries to choose from, that you can go basically anywhere! The budget that you stated is the around-budget that RCI has. The shows on Royal Caribbean are amazing! Some are for adults-only, so perhaps that might help. There is one specialty restaraunt onboard most or all of the ships, called Portofinos, and it is for people ages 13 and older. There is a price that comes along with eating at that restaraunt, however. There is a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet, and when it isn't any of those times, there are snacks! Royal Caribbean has a vegitarian menu as well, just incase there is a vegitarian onboard. As you probably already know, there is a 3 level dining room onboard each ship. If you would prefer not to sit with a family, i'm quite sure you can request to sit with another couple. I hope this information helps! Courtney :) Hey there!

Go with the luxury lines or take a cruise during the school year. I was on a cruise in January to Hawaii with hardly any children. I took a cruise to Alaska in June and it was full of kids. Your price range is about right for a one week cruise on a line like Princess of Holland America. Princess is even offering 7 day to Mexico for $350 a person for repeat customers. It is normally about $700 each. ? ??l???q ? If you want a cruise with no or few children you have 2 choices. Go with the luxury lines or take a cruise during the school year.

I would try celebrity or even cunard. Obviously the ones with less children are usually pricier. OR If you need to cruise with a line such a royal caribbean or carnival, cruise during the off season. Don't go on Holidays or breaks. (mid-winter, spring break) Go during the school season. Anytime after labor day, or before schools get out in June. Royal Caribbean is actually a fabulous line, even though it attracts families with children, it has ADULT ONLY pools, hot tubs & lounge/bars, even adult only shows. It's very easy to avoid the young ones. Great food, shows & ships. I'd give that a try if your trying to stay within that price range. Also not to mention where you cruise will determine what kind of crowd their will be. -Caribbean, lots of families and kids, large groups -Mexico, mix of families, older ones & couples -Alaskan,Couples & Older ones, few families -Europe, couples & families Definitly AVOID:
-Carnival
-Royal Caribbean
-Princess
-Norwegain
