Kids on the Dance Floor
On a recent trans-Atlantic cruise (RCL) we witnessed some out-of-control kids
on the dance floor at the Captain's formal cocktail party. Their ages were about 2, 3, and 11. The children were running amongst the dancing couples, sitting on the floor, and generally involved in inappropriate behaviors. It was extremely annoying to the people dancing not to mention dangerous to the younger children. I approached the father mentioning the danger to his children. His answer was that they had as much right to the dance floor as we did. Later in the cruise I asked the purser if there was a policy regarding toddlers on the dance floor. The answer was no. Any comments or similar experiences? |

Any comments or similar experiences? I agree with your frustration. I posted earlier aboutt he ill mannered people and out of control children on my recent Celebrity cruise, only to be flamed by the morons on this board. "Premium" cruising implies some standards of manners for passengers and their children. With $50/day cruises, its far less expensive to take the monsters on the cruise and turn them loose. Its a pity that cheapness and ill manners rein in contemporary America. |

So why did you take a $50/day cruise?
Maybe you are the moron...or maybe just rude. You must be from New York, according to your own logic! "KathyDFrog" wrote in message ...

jogging suit for formal night in the dining room. ...Jon |

Subject: Kids on the Dance Floor
Well.. not on a ship but at a hotel in New York. There was a toddler playing on the staircase leading up to a very busy lounge. Could not tell who the parents were.. or where they were. I made mention to the hostess seating us. Well.. don't you know....someone leaving the lounge trips over the little girl.. goes down on their butt.. and kicks the little girl in the face with their foot. The parents start screaming holy hell about suing the hotel.. and the man leaving the bar.. yadda, yadda. Interesting to note that from where the parents were sitting at the bar, their backs were to their child. It takes all kinds......... Babette |

Of course, the children had just as much right to be there; however, their
behavior were inappropriate. Bringing children to a Captain's Cocktail Party and having them run amuck is rude and inconsiderate to the other passengers. Parents would not allow their children to run and play during sermons at a church, unless of course, they're inconsiderate. "DeeLeeCee" wrote in message ...

The children were running amongst the dancing couples, sitting on the floor, and generally involved in inappropriate behaviors A child's behavior can be altered by a "accidental" hip check. On a dance floor, it would be open season. "Anything that doesn't kill you,,,,,,,just hurts a hell of a lot" JLP20 |
