Review summary

We travel in August due to families school schedules, this was the worst with children misbehaving. Blocking staircases, lying on floors by the doorways. Security wasn't a lot of help, traveling with older people made it difficult when navigating from elevators to the entrance of anything. I did go to security and guest services, not sure why the parents didn't intervene in the observation lounge jumping on the couches and running around was not fun to watch or be bumped into when walking with a cup of coffee.
