Yeah, same thing happened on our cruise, except it was rude Brits and rude Irish instead of rude Americans...

That’s funny... usually people complain about children being in the adult pools, not the other way around. I have read that Princess is more geared towards the over 40 crowd (which is fine by me).

Suekelso I never said there was only one pool in total , there is only one kids pool which was taken over by rude Americans when there was clearly four other pools for them to use , but they had to take over the kids area !
