Typically I would agree with Bubbles that kids not behaving is a "parent issue," but in this instance Escape can shoulder a hefty portion of the blame due to the lack of planned activities for the older kids and teen program. They basically were left to roam the ship together. We saw the same goup of pre-teen boys all over thr place videoing each other causing trouble. The bartender even came out from behind the bar at O'Sheehan's to chase them off. I'm sure their parents thought they were fine because they were in the teen program. Our teens hung out with us this trip. Actually I saw a lot of families sticking together which was really nice. Probably because it was Thanksgiving week?

I have heard handicap rooms book up quickly. Kids not behaving should parent issue.
