Weak Points

There were too many feral kids I was very disappointed in the action of unsupervised children. Running up and down outside staterooms, knocking on doors after midnight, yelling and just bad behaviour in lifts. Parents should know what their children are up to not just get on the ship and leave them. I was very disappointed in this cruise but in saying that it was great to mellow, the food was great and so were the staff. I will rethink booking another one for quite a while
