The view is better from the zoo. 😄

Princess is confusing people again. They don't do a very good job of explaining what a Reserve mini suite is and they don't make it clear that the Reserved program is a completely separate thing from the Plus/Premier program. Par for the course.

Ah, the good old days...🙂

Does the Alaska itinerary have anything to do with it?

You and me both.

Instead of "beating this topic to death," let's just wish Ray well on his future endeavors.

I hope uncle has a great time.

I might be wrong but I don’t think that poster has any darlings (and maybe never was one.) 😀

While you're doing that, I'll be on deck enjoying a beverage. 😄

You talkin to me? 🤣

I agree with everything here. I have actual experience taking children on cruises (disclaimer: not Oceania) and I take offense at the notion that all children on cruises are uncontrolled, unsupervised brats running amok. We have take our grandchildren to many wonderful (and educational) destinations, starting with little ones in diapers to the currently teenaged adult versions. I never, not once, got a complaint about their behavior because we make it clear to cruise meant behaving, and they love to cruise. (My eldest gchild is one cruise short of Elite on Princess. 🙂) Some of them liked kids club, and some did not. We never "parked" them there. They spent most of their time with us onboard, playing board games, ping pong, etc. One of them absolutely loves shuffleboard and we have to drag him in if it starts raining. We have had so many wonderful experiences with them, and I hope they will all be world travellers. I suspect that most children on cruises are more like mine. The ones who act up and cause trouble get the attention, but those are the minority. Please don't lump my civilized grandchildren is with the brats you have "heard about." If children are so disruptive and bothersome, choose adult-only cruises from now on.

Are you afraid he will wander off or get lost?

You should avoid Facebook. 🤣

I've done TAs, and I love them. I love sea days, and I have plenty to read loaded on the Kindle! One thing is it sure beats being stuck in the middle seat on some cramped airplane for hours on end. 😄 Staying in Europe never seems to be an option. 🙃

Guess the kids are not always the big problem.

Ah. Gotcha.

Did this happen on an Oceania ship? More than one voyage?

Well, if there are some, maybe they won't bite. 😝

Okay, but he was good at math. 😝

Wasn't that covid cruise from hell the Diamond Princess in Japan? At the beginning of the pandemic where they kept the passengers on the ship for weeks and some died? (I assume things are okay now. ) 🙂

You might be overestimating the size of the department. ☺️

You will find Princess very changed, maybe some for the better, but not all.

One hopes.
