Ports of call

Stockholm, Sweden

Flew in day early to rest up. Since our departure date was different than our arrival RC would not assist us with transfers to the port. Since there were two ports it caused some stress.

Fully agree, unruly kids are the sole responsibility of the parents or guardians who allow them to miss behave. However there are also quite few drunk unruly adults appearing on far too many cruises these days, possibly connected to the upsurge of drinks package offers.

let's place responsibility for the unruly children where it belongs....... on the absent parents and not the cruise line "curfew enforcement"

That’s too bad. We were on a cruise that required Captain to come down reprimand kids and parents. Kids were crazy and out of hand
