hapytobehr Posted April 14, 2017 #226 Share Posted April 14, 2017 :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: My husband and I just got off the Splendor. I was shocked when we went to the aft pool and was told that it was now "family friendly". There were "kids" probably between the ages of 13 and 15 in the pool on a port day playing football and some other game with hand held nets. They had no regard for anyone around them and carried on as if they were in their own backyard. There was a rather large "child" that kept jumping into the pool. There was absolutely no control at all and it was extremely frustrating to my husband and I that we left and went to sit on our balcony. We are definitely going to look into other lines if this remains. (and I did vote firemanbobswife) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are way too many people using it. Handheld nets and a ball (football or any). Who enabled them by giving them the equipment? Perfect example why we should vote for an adult only pool.

Bazzybuggs Posted April 17, 2017 #235 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Kids are great! But we're travelling without ours. I was looking forward to having space without any but now I'm my only hope is that it's a time of year when kids are usually in school etc. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangaline Posted April 17, 2017 #236 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Carnival cruises can be fun and really wired energy-wise, but you really do need a place where you can retreat and have some calm without kids leaping and screaming in the pool. When we book, I always look for adult only area so this new, unfortunately, puts these ships out of the running for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzgurl4 Posted April 17, 2017 #237 Share Posted April 17, 2017 My husband and I travel with our four children. I am by not a perfect parent, as I don't believe this exists, but I try my best. My kids are also not perfect 100% of the time , but I think they are well behaved and respectful. My children are not allowed to go in the hot tubs on a cruise ship as I believe this is an area for adults to relax and have adult conversations. We were on the Magic in November and had a balcony that overlooked the mid ship hot tubs, we just couldn't believe how many kids were in there diving and jumping around. This is both the parents and Carnivals fault. So many kids and adults nowadays think they don't have to follow the rules or be respectful of other people. I think as long as these parents are not monitoring their children or teaching them basic manners then there should definitely be an adult only pool. My oldest is 15 and not allowed in the pool unless I am there. The children have there clubs, which my kids love and Waterworks, so they have some freedom and alot of activities to keep them occupied and happy they don't need to be allowed in every area of the ship. Just my 2 cents!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dverzic Posted April 17, 2017 #240 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I love kids, but just as cocktail lounges are for adults only it's nice to have a pool for adults only. Just sayin'. It wouldn't bother me if parents would teach their kids to be respectful of others, but too often kids are left to just run wild.

Parents taking a vacation from parenting.

The pizza is not back there on the Splendor and there have been very few kids there the 3 cruises I've been on it. And the serenity area has no pools or hot tubs on the Splendor.

But Serenity on the ships in question do not have a pool. Why can't some people comprehend this concept? And kids were not that rambunctious because of pizza and an ice cream machine. They will be though now that they can go snorkeling in the aft hot tubs. Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondietink Posted April 18, 2017 #250 Share Posted April 18, 2017 So, if the kids can use all adult areas now ... they hang out at the bars and now all the pools and hot tubs, does this mean the adults can go and hang out at the kids clubs? No. Kids already have exclusive areas. Even DISNEY CRUISE LINE has ADULT ONLY POOLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
