I feel you, but I’m going to be pretty irritated that my well behaved kid is prohibited from sitting with me on the sun deck in the Haven that we booked specifically to be together. It isn’t listed any where area as an “adult area”. I think the vibe and spice 2O and smoking zones are the adult only outdoor spaces. I wouldn’t dream of letting her hang there by herself as she’ll only be 10 on our havenly booked trip. But, under a parents supervision (and considering the retractable roof doesn’t seem to open) being outside in the Haven area should be allowed and frankly IS what we have paid for. I’ll take the glare of the kiddophobics until they see we’re chill. If she were an a-hole I’d be with you. 😜 I hope you you have a superb time in the Haven. I know we are looking forward to it.

You can be in Haven and pay for Vibe too, just in case you didn't know that It's like when I want to go to the spa, I pay for spa passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is not in the haven complex. The haven set up tries to be fair to all its guests, is what I am saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Greenpea2 Posted March 17, 2019 #58 Share Posted March 17, 2019 There is a pool, hot tub, loungers in the Haven that kids can use. And a kids pool area on the main deck.For adults paying big bucks for the haven that want to be in an adult area, there is the sundeck with two hot tubs. Not everyone is ever happy with a compromise but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with people is telling kids they have to have a college education to make good money. They just have to WORK! This is kind of reductive but okay. I don’t have a college degree either, and I’ve been doing IT Ops/admin for 20 years. Husband is a senior software engineer on a two-year degree from a tiny tech school. I’ll let you do the math on our household income. I think the more important lesson isn’t to discourage people from higher education, but to discourage them from ridiculously high student loans for useless degrees. Those are the people who are in the most trouble now. It doesn’t mean higher education is bad, though, it just means people need to consider tech or trade school, starting at community and transferring to state school, etc. No one who isn’t a doctor needs six figures of student debt. I have no idea how we got on this topic, though, because regardless of how much money you make or how you got your Haven room, if you’re getting in drunken fistfights you need to reassess your life choices. And possibly attend an AA meeting or three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage is excellent for some no doubt in my mind. Just when I graduated 1999. We were basically told high school grad made 20k tech school made 30k collage made 50k. Also how much better off we would be having that kind of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPNYGuy Posted March 17, 2019 #72 Share Posted March 17, 2019 its posts like this that make me glad we switched to Oceania for our premium-type voyages. They actively discourage children. Everything else is MSC for the most part. However, we just purchased a cruise on Carnival Horizon in the Havana area. They ban children under 12 there, and most of the cabins are dual occupancy.

travelingirl70 Posted March 17, 2019 Author #73 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Update. Docked in Miami this morning. 2 Miami Dade police officers escorted into Haven at 9 am. I’m guessing they’re at least being interviewed if not arrested. There’s a vacation to remember. Remember that cruise when Dad got arrested??!!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
