Curfew for teens

[tef43]

I saw posted on another board here that RCCL has a 1 am curfew for teens, and enforces it!

 

What an excellent idea!

 

Are you reading this, Carnival?

Shhhh, it's a surprise!

And then:

Carnival Spirit 12/10/05 Mexican Riviera

Perhaps something else in the works as well. Watch this space.

Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, and work when somebody's watching.

I'll vote for midnight or.....no one under 25 allowed.

 

Liv...Winds are 15 knots and holding....the whole world is a drop zone!

Liv,

 

How did I know you'd be first in line to post a reply to this thread?

When I went on the Explorer of the Seas, the Captain mandated a curfew as the kids were getting so out of control. He made it very clear that parents and their children were subject to deportation at the next port. I thought it was a great idea.

 

 

Next Cruises! SENSATION 5/6/04 then MIRACLE 2/13/05!

Don't know Tef. I've never posted on this type of thread before.

 

Deportation?

Ok wrong phrasing.. i.e. they will get their behinds kicked off the ship.

Midnight sounds great to me! Then I won't have to go out looking for my teens at 2am (just kidding).

I really do like the idea of a curfew for teens though.

Perhaps it is time to revive that thread that discussed "dismemberment procedures" a couple of months back?

I have kids, good kids, that have movie parties in their cabin or our cabin where they invite friends they met on board. They'll order room service and make a safe late night activity out of it often going well past midnight or 1AM.

 

Sometimes they'll leave and go look at the stars on deck (since their cheap dad stuck them in an inside cabin) but in no way are they the nuisance that other teens may very well be.

 

The thing is, security will be chasing down the ones that break curfew anyway, why can't they just do their jobs and keep the area secure, confining offenders to their cabins or making them walk the plank.

 

If I didn't have kids that this would have a direct effect on I wouldn't care but I do so I must

 

Lock up those bad teens, throw them off at the next port along with their slacker parents who let them run wild but don't punish the good kids too

 

Happy Cruising

I second that Chris!

[OhioBeachBum]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH CHRIS! I've taught my kids to behave and respect those around them. They shouldn't have to curb their activities just because of a few bad apples. They're on vacation too!

 

Loved the Miracle 4/12/04

 

Great, now I'm hooked!

[L2J]

Well it's those "bad apples" that ruin it for the rest of them.

I agree w/Chris on this one.

I have to also agree with Chris. I'm taking my two good teens and traveling with another family with 2 good teens as well. They deserve to be out and about until the curfew I impose brings them back to their cabin.

Bad teens should be dismembered

I mean, thrown off the ship...along with their parents.

Actually, most of the time, when I see bad kids (of any age) it's the parents I'd like to throttle. Some people have no idea how to be parents. They want to be their kids friends...it's sad.

I am blessed. If you see two girls following around their Mother and Father saying 'thank you" every three seconds....they're my kids.

and IF they EVER did anything that was even slightly disruptive on the ship

I'D gladly throw them off the ship myself.

(they know this, which is why they don't give me any problems).

From what I can glean, they only roust the rambunctious offenders. The well-behaved teens, such as Chris' and halos' are free to enjoy their vacations. Demonstrated maturity has its priviledges.

 

The policy is in place on RCCL "just in case" it needs to be enforced. I still applaud them for taking that step, but am at the same time saddened that they felt that they had to resort to it. It's a commentary on the parenting.

Chris....As usual I couldn't agree with you more! I always set my own curfew and my son has never never been late.(usually he's a bit early!) We tend to bend the rules every now and then because he has never abused any privileges. I think if the cruise lines had a curfew he might want to rebel.

[jedgar]

Parents don't be afraid to be boss. Children are constantly testing, attempting to see how much they can get away with - how far you will let them go - and they secretly hope yuou will not let them go too far.

Wow Liv, I am sure glad that I will be 25 on our Valor Vampire cruise next year

 

I would certainly not have a good time under your security rules if I weren't!

We also have a great teen, he's graduating from high school and we are taking him on the Elation 5/23. Don't punish the good kids along with the noisy ones. We trust him totally.

I'm in a quandry here. I like the idea of a curfew, but wouldn't want to see the good kids punished because of the rowdy ones. The fact is, the ones causing problems can do it at any time of the day or night and the parents should be answerable for the actions of their children.

 

Hmmmm, keelhauling?

I agree with those that say to not punish the good kids for the bad kids' actions. Carnival just needs to enforce the rules they have....not make new ones.

Funny I noticed the same thing. Whenever tef posts something, Liv is sure to come along with an "atta boy" real quick. No matter what the topic.
