Parents, please give me your opinion

On our most recent cruise, we loved spending time in the main live music/dance floor/bar venue.......except that every evening, a youngish couple brought their two toddler boys there, and encouraged them to run around the dance floor (even though the planner clearly stated that no children were to do so).  Not especially worrying, though, except that then the dad would pick up the older boy, throw him high into the air, then catch and release.  The floor is marble.  We had such a concern about him dropping the little boy that we usually left, after telling a couple of bartenders, and band members, why we could not stay.  His fun was repeated every day of the cruise.

Would seeing this worry you?  Are we overreacting?  Should we have pursued reporting this?  To whom?

What do you think?

You reported to staff that you didn't think something was safe. That's it.  Then it's up to staff to decide if they want to confront parents about what's safe/not safe and allowed/not allowed.  A central area will always have more kids.  It was sweet of you to be so concerned that you left.  I think we all know the feeling of having to choose to move away from other passengers - thankfully lots of other places to go/things to do!

neither the bartenders, nor the band members can do anything about it.

I'd report it to security or cruise director.
