Who Will Stand Up for the Kids
The amount of kid bashing that appears on this board is truly saddening.
Aren't there any of you, who like me, enjoy seeing some children on cruise ships? Or are you all really that OLD? Howard - who thinks it's about time to speak out on behalf of the children. |

Who Will Stand Up for the Kids
I was thinking that same thing. Kids are our future so why is everyone
bashing them? My daughter is 9 and will be 10 when we go on our cruise in March (her first one). I can remember in Feb on our anniversary cruise seeing alot of ADULTS who were drunk and loud. The kids weren't half as loud as the drunks. Kinda made me sick watching adults act worse then the kids. And unruly kids, yes there are some, however it is lack of supervision and discipline that makes them that way. Maybe their parents should take a parenting class. But I don't fault the kids. -- Helen http://home.comcast.net/~hkolln66 "Howard Garland" wrote in message ... The amount of kid bashing that appears on this board is truly saddening.

Thanks Helen. Actually, a little unruliness is a healthy thing for
kids, as well as adults. Howard Helen wrote: I was thinking that same thing. Kids are our future so why is everyone bashing them?

It's not the out-of-control kids so much as the parents who either don't
care what their kids do on vacation or are so use to the yelling & screaming that they don't even hear it any longer. Sure kids are entitled to a vacation, but not at my expense. I returned from a cruise where there were about 8 or so in the Solarium each day playing their game of Marco-Polo in the pool - Don't tell me that that's not annoying to sit there trying to read while listening to their yelling for over an hour at a time. I know, there only kids having fun but why should everyone else have to suffer just so they can enjoy themselves? "Howard Garland" wrote in message ...

Who Will Stand Up for the Kids
I have taken my 2 children on 8 of our 13 cruises. I keep a close eye on my
children at all times. Not that I think they will miss behave, but because of all the sicko's out there in this world. I have yet once to correct my kids while traveling. The children that get out of hand on a cruise is the result of their parents being to busy drinking and indulging themselves in many different ways. There are a lot of pigs out there, it just seems they come out more while on a cruise. It's a shame that PARENTS, not the kids, take into consideration that there are other people traveling with them, trying to have a good time also. Yes some kids no matter what are going to be bad, they should be left at home, once again PARENTS need to do that. But yet still these people will bring their kids and think it's alright to do anything they want because THEY paid for this vacation, and who cares about anyone else. So stop blaming the kids and start blaming the PARENTS, they are the ones raising these kids and they are the ones allowing the kids to act the way they do while on vacation. Kids will be kids. We were all once kids or did you forget???? "Howard Garland" wrote in message ... The amount of kid bashing that appears on this board is truly saddening.

So what you're saying is I should have to find a more expensive ship line to
avoid the kids - such as Radisson or Seabourn. I don't feel that I should have to spend more in order to avoid the kids screaming & carrying on in the pool. As much as I dislike more restrictions, perhaps it's time for another "rule" keeping kids out of the solarium all together. "jcoulter" wrote in message 6.16... there is a correct ship for everyone, looks like you haven't found yours yet ;-) Have you tried the next level? |
