The rules are only for some to follow and I get to decide which ones they are! Amazing!!!
The question was a fun "Who would you rather question!"

So why don't you play along and answer it!

It was meant as a fun response. I even added .

Do you have an answer to my question? So far no one has chosen the misbehaving adult, some have chosen the well behaved 17 year old, some have chosen both which wasn't an offered response and I think one wanted them both to stay.

Your daughter will be in clinicals (per one of your other threads) , so it could also be nursing or another medical field - just as valid. A CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) wouldn't agree - I just left the medical field in June and was good friends with our CNO & she wouldn't put up with that junk at all.

No answer because it's sort of a "loaded" question. Of course people are going to pick well-behaved over drunk/unruly/misbehaving, but there are other things to consider.

You are now saying "fun thread", "fun response" but you didn't start out asking your original question in a fun way. I have a theory about that but will keep it to myself.

I am really sorry but I don't understand your last couple of posts.

Let's face it everyday we all use our moral compasses whether it is leaving our towel on a deck chair for a couple of hours or driving 5 MPH over the speed limit on the highway.

I still would chose the well behaved 17 year old sitting or dancing beside me in the adult venue compared to the ill mannered adult and given the choice I believe that most people would.


I do have a daughter who is in university studying to be a nurse and yes I have mentioned that before.

The 17yos shouldn't have even been in there to begin with. Then remove the misbehaving adult, and you arrive at my answer of both of them being gone.

If most people don't like misbehaving adults in adult only venues then that is what I hope any cruiseline reps get when reading this thread.

I understood that you wanted both gone it wasn't that post.

The part you don't get is your daughter being an exception to the rule?
This is sad, but doesn't surprise me.

Seems to me that they escort the well behaved 17 year olds out way faster than the drunk/rude/misbehaving adults.
the rules say 18 and up. I don't care how perfectly behaved you are.. you should abide by the rules. you make an exception because teenager A is 'well behaved" then along comes Mommy B who screams and pitches a fit and says then her darling offspring should be allowed to stay too .. and then promptly lets him act like a brat.

its a right of passage, just like being tall enough to ride the scary coasters at Disney.

Default 18 year olds drinking

Do they let 18 year olds drink booze on mainstream cruise ships?

I would have though no, but it sounds like they do. Is that a good idea?

No, they don't let them, and I'm not sure where you are getting this idea, but admit this entire thread is somewhat confusing.

I always wondered why Disney sold highheeled shoes.

I never asked should people abide by the rules. That would not lead to much discussions.

nope. strictly Verboten. get caught and off you go at the next port. a few itineraries that leave from EUROPE will allow 18 YOs to drink WITH PARENTAL APPROVAL.

Just clarified what you declared you didn't understand.
I thought my responses were pretty clear without further clarification.

I disagree.

Didn't you say awhile ago that this was going to happen? Seems like you were correct about that after all.
