This thread hints , no screams , of entitlement. We , the customers are in no position to dictate who a cruise line allows on a cruise. I agree with the one post that if a few kids bothers you, sail at a different time or pick a cruise line that only allows adults to book. Being 4 or 5 star gives certain perks, but does not entitle someone to dictate who sails on the ship. The families money is just as appealing to the cruise line as the upper * mariner.
