This evokes different scenarios depending on the facts....large hot tub with mixture of adults and kids (which is usually the case) not creepy at all. Small hot tub where adult goes in while child is alone, yeah that's creepy. But the child shouldn't  be alone in the first place, and it's rare for a child or even adult for that matter to be alone in any hot tub, so it's kind of a non starter. 

I mentioned that it was a non-Princess cruise.  We were in the Haven on NCL and there were a couple of families that let the kids have the run of the Haven without any adult supervision.  The kids spent so much time in the small hot tubs without any supervision that I never saw even one adult in the hot tubs in the Haven the whole cruise.  The point about my previous posting wasn't the kids, it was the negligent parents who were nowhere to be seen, so I am in total agreement with you that the child(ren) shouldn't have been left alone in the first place...

As someone who has been cruising with our kids on Princess for more than 15 years, I can assure you they have been marketing to families for a long time. You just may not have noticed if you aren’t a cruiser with kids. My kids literally grew up on Princess cruises - some of our best times and best memories! They are adults now and still cruise with us whenever possible. My husband and I are taking one of only a few cruises we have done without them in a few weeks on the Emerald in the British Isles. We are really looking forward to it but I will miss having them along. I hope we see some kids on board - I love to see families traveling together.
