What bugs you on a cruise?

True, but those are here for the long run -- just gotta put up with them.

I do wish that those few ships that still sardine people on the lifeboat deck for an hour for the drill would figure out a way to put it in the theater/lounges/MDR like many other ships do.

Muster drills

The person who feels like they have to explain everything to you. I especially find it offensive because, as an African American, it's like they think I've never been anywhere and don't know anything.

I hope CCL starts enforcing this as well. Same with misbehavior.

Once again, the Princess was right on top of "abandoned" lounge chairs and promptly removed towels and belongs after 15 minutes...Belongings went to lost and found, beach towels removed. If people were truly taking a quick lunch break, someone nearby would watch it for them but just reserving it all day long was no longer possible.

And they clearly stated this policy in daily newsletter....

Agree 100%, and this goes for lounge chairs, theater seats, and anything else as well.

I do not like when someone holds a cabana on the adult only serenity deck and do not return.....I think it's inconsiderate to do that

By no means am I a grouchy old man, I'm 52 and very active and a job that keeps me moving. What bugs you on a cruise? I'm curious who I will agree with or disagree.

I'm accustomed to the medium age on a Princess cruise being 50s/60s and a lot of fun loving 70s age ...

I think the average went down to about age 13 on this last cruise on the Regal. Scores of kids, mainly tweens. (My fault I didn't pay attention to spring break). Many of the kids were great, courteous, respectful of others - having fun but not at anybody else's expense. HOWEVER, there were many who were so out of control that it really spoiled the trip.

Parents who think they can bring their children on a cruise and just set them loose for the week are so wrong and rude ...

Most of the people I met are hardworking folks who save all year to be lucky enough to have time off and take a cruise. They do not deserve this. They don't need children running through the halls or the buffet knocking into them. Kids messing with the food on the buffet, etc. etc.

If you are a family taking a cruise, please spend time with your kids on the ship and monitor their behavior. If you simply want to get rid of them, leave them home with a nanny and let them wreck your own house.

Good for you. Seriously. Personally? As much as I like cruising - deceptive practices make me feel like I am being played - and detract from what would otherwise be a real treat.
