Review summary

Funny how the clientele differs depending on where you embark. We did this ship for 31 days total- the first 21 days out of S.F. had ~5 kids total, then the 2nd part of 10 days out of NYC had 600 kids! LOL!

I don’t think the location of embarkation is the determining factor of the number of children onboard, but rather that most people with kids don’t have 3 weeks available to go on a cruise.
