Thanks all, didn't know about the Party Cruise either. Still, it sounds like my toddler will have lots of other kids her age, which is what we were hoping for.

Thanks - I didn't consider how the start date might affect things, learned something new for (assuming this one goes well) future cruises!

Hi all, My family and I will be sailing on Independence OTS for the 4 night cruise, out of Port Canaveral, on Mar 13 this year. Based on the price differential from the weeks before and after, it looks to be a crowded ship. In Canada (well, at least my part) this is March break - kids are off school, and college/university students are at campus. I just learned that things are a bit different in the US. My question is: What is the passenger breakdown likely to be that week? Lots of families with kids? Or mostly college students? We have a toddler, so we were hoping for the former. (First post, first cruise! Thanks to Matt for all his videos and this website, which helped us make an informed decision! Seriously, it answered essentially every single point but this particular question!) Ash
