It's about as literal as it gets...if you didn't know it is a Bible quote from Proverbs. And we were not abused. At all.

You must not recognise sarcasm, tongue in cheek, figure of speech or exaggeration. We got spanked not beaten to death...duh. I had two and they survived. Mind your own business.

Yeah only it has nothing to do with where it happens. They wouldn't let them defecate in the hotel lobby or in the mall promenade would they? That really is beyond the pale! Health hazards are not just bad behavior, but a public health issue.

Once my father yanked my little brother out of his chair, took him outside and whipped the daylights out of him for saying out loud in the (remember those?) Zider Zee Seafood restaurant, "Look Dad that lady is drinking beer!" I kid you not, rudeness and bad manners were never allowed at any time in my 50's family, and I have the battle scars to prove it, a knuckle that never healed properly after a spanking with a belt is still enlarged to this day. I loved my Dad and he was right! Spare the rod, spoil the child!

Then she can butt out of the condo, the board can vote on that.

I have seen them kick folks off for those kinds of things! They can handle it. Did anybody follow what happened to the offenders OP...thought not, they may HAVE been penalized in some way.

That doesn't apply to me, guess I'm a big kid at heart, I can't wait till our sailing! I have a feeling we'll be at Cloud 17 most days, I figure that's the least likely place they'll go. And they sleep late! HAHA, I'm up at the crack of dawn and will have our loungers Tout de suite!

Bingo

Sorry but I have to Rah Rah here. That is not the fault of Royal, it's the lack of manners and responsibility of parents today. I don't understand why they have to produce offspring when they really don't want to accept the responsibility that comes with them. If they're that selfish and self-centered, they have no business becoming parents. And that's what I told my two kids early on...they didn't listen of course and I'm glad now...love my Grand kids. Society today pretty much sucks in general in that area. Like they say..."It's all about me" and they are making sure their kids learn it well. Something we all have to deal with and move on. I had hoped Surfside would alleviate some of it, but they tried.

Catastrophe! I can certainly see how you could be so disheartened, but this could happen in any ocean on any island or beach. Don't see how RCI could have been more accommodating. They obviously do a great job of beach cleaning, how else could anyone combat this ameba or whatever it is. It is in all the oceans and cousins are in any fresh body of water that gets warm on land as well. I don't get in either if I have any kind of lesion on my feet, it only takes a small pinpoint opening in the skin for these things to get in. I never get in a lake or any small body of fresh water if it gets hot. So sorry for the hell you've been through though, God bless you.

We've been there 6 times, never a cancellation, and I've never noticed any of that floating s--t anywhere on island, unlike Costa Maya which has gobs of it. It has it's underwater sea grass pastures as any island does, full of tiny critters fun to watch, but no floating s--t piling up on the beaches.

Just looking at all your pics has me getting the booking itch and we just got back last month LOLOL

OMG just opened the one we got on Voyager and by golly, it IS the old crystal block. They must've had a lot left over.

Todd always has his notebook and plenty of movies on it. We only use the darn thing as white noise to get to sleep LOL

We always book in September...ain't scared o'no hurricanes! Priced cheaper and kids back in school, what's to worry? We dealt with Ike back in the day, but the problem wasn't with the ship, but the airlines. We had to make changes in flights but we made it to Port Canaveral and the cruise was terrific.
