roaming_kate23*The salmon in the MDR keeps changing/there is a question about everyday items on the menu. There are quite a few posters on the Cruise Critic HAL boards who have the taste buds of toddlers or they expect things to be THE SAME every damn day.The different menu, in at least one case, was because it was Christmas ,which, understandable.That gets them on a whole rant . The OP from the second thing I am going to talk about said that they had to ask for snacks at the bar. the HUMANITY!!!
Kids on a Cunard holiday cruise were well behaved. *eyeroll*. That is all.
*Whining about kids on a holiday cruise and more than one suggestion that HAL should become an adults’ only cruise line.Not happening.The reason is because there are lots of kids on the cruise. “Kids sail free” is a deal breaker for the diehards. This is the thing:certain times of the year-and certain cruises-like Alaska-are going to have a lot more families than others.I know this from personal experience . OP and others say that they DON’T hate children,but they do.
Here’s the thing:whenever there is a post like this they make it sound like there are large roving gangs of kids on the ship. At a guess it is not even close to being “large”.. Calls to guest services got what the original poster said was a non-response.
I loved this comment:”Thought it was all of the conversations on Cruise Critic that changed cruise lines’ behaviour.
(They like to think that the slight change that they were able to get WRT to the rule about how many bottles of wine they could bring on, but way back when people were bringing industrial amounts of wine on the ship.And sometimes it’s only for a weeklong cruise.Alcoholic,much? The first step is admitting that you have a problem.)
There was a suggestion to call the ship’s 911 number which goes right to the bridge.A reply to that said that that was crying wolf over some obnoxious kids. Yeah..this is going to sound harsh but they(the person complaining) should be thrown off the ship for making bogus claims.
If some of the things-kids running down the hall, taking scooters for a joyride-actually happened then they did but this is an exaggeration-just like every other time someone posts a thread like this.
