The ship itself looks awesome, but to those of us without kids it looks intimidating. I was on Anthem of the seas for thanksgiving week, the amount of kids running in front of us all around the ship was very annoying. Imagine this monstrosity of a ship called Icon of the seas where it has multi-levels dedicated to families. That's a lot of kids running around going nuts without parental supervision. Let's be honest, parents don't seem to want to be parents lately (or it seems so in public). We saw kids climbing on top of the art piece outside of Jamie's on Anthem of the seas. Not one crew member did anything or asked them to climb down and they shouldn't have. It's not their job to parent someone's kids. The parents sure didn't do anything, their attitude was like "they're just being kids" while they climbed on a piece of art worth thousands of dollars. The point is that as incredible as Icon looks, a lot of us will pass on this ship so we don't have to deal with the kids who don't have manners because the parents refuse to actually raise them. Anyone else feel the same way? I'm not trying to be inconsiderate, I have nephews and nieces also but their parents are actually parenting them and keep them well-behaved in public.
It would be awesome if the next Icon class was less family-focused and more of a general cruising style.
