deborahjo Posted April 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Is the Splendor one of the ships where the aft pool is becoming "kid friendly"? Sailing in November and we like our quiet time without screaming, yelling and splashing kids. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torcruise Posted April 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Why can't people just say they prefer a quieter pool without kids playing loudly? Why so hateful towards children who are doing nothing wrong? So ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droop Posted April 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Does anyone know if they changed it on The Legend? We are sailing on that ship in June up to Alaska. This will be our first cruise on the Carnival line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be our first cruise on the Carnival line. The Legend's aft pool is in the serenity area which is already adults only. Unless is they change the serenity to family friendly, you are good!

dad son team Posted April 12, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I just got off the Splendor on Sunday and can confirm that the aft pool is now a family pool. Other than the spa, there is no adult only pool or hot tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Loves Cats Posted April 12, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I guess most posters here were never kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krehberg Posted April 12, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I guess most posters here were never kids. That has nothing to do with it. In times when some of us are not cruising with our kids, we'd like to have some place where adults can just find solace without kids causing a commotion. As I'm about to board a ship (Conquest) that doesn't have a Serenity area, but has 3 pools....its not asking much to limit one of them to being adults only. Anyways, the forward pool on Deck 10 is pretty much a de facto kids pool since its connected to the water slide...so I don't think its asking much for adults to have their own.

cajunfla Posted April 12, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I guess most posters here were never kids. That has nothing to do with it. Many of us have grown kids, and grandkids. When they don't cruise with us, we prefer quiet areas to have quiet conversations with other adults, without interruptions of someone else's kids running around our chairs, or in the pool yelling Marco Polo. Maybe we like quiet areas to read a book, or listen to our own music thru EarPods without having to crank up the volume to drown out extraneous sounds/noise/kids.

Rare MandyMooToo Posted April 12, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I have children (grown now but in school and living at home) and I work with children. When I go on vacation I like to have a quiet place without children. It isn't hate or hateful. I just prefer reading my Kindle by the pool with a frosty beverage and not having pool water splashed in my face and said frosty beverage. That's all. Not ugly.

deborahjo Posted April 14, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I guess most posters here were never kids. I go on vacation to relax You are the one making a blanket statement. Kids running up and down hallways, getting on elevator and hitting every button, splashing people in the pool and pushing people down the stairs so they can beat everyone. If I had done any of these my butt would have been so red and hurt so bad I would not be able to sit down.

Organized Chaos Posted April 14, 2017 #25 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I guess most posters here were never kids. Leave them home?I love arguments like these. They usually come from people who expect everyone to respect their opinions, but often have a problem with the opinions of others. This has nothing to do with "kids just being kids," a favorite line of those defending the new family-friendly aft pools. It also has nothing to do with remembering what it's like to be a kid. I was a kid...a well behaved one, even when having fun on vacation. Leaving our kids at home OR switching to another cruise line (which seems to be the most popular comeback in defense of the new policy change) are not rational solutions in most cases. They're just poor suggestions from spiteful forum users who have a problem with others disagreeing with this new policy. Disney, arguably the most family friendly cruise line out there, even has adults-only pools. Horrible, isn't it? Really? Is this person not allowed to have their own opinion? You think you're opinion is superior so you get to "fix" theirs? What a bunch of whiny, entitled, selfish, spoiled children. Oops, I mean adults :o"Lighten up, Francis." (movie quote, if you're not familiar) ;) Altering a person's quoted comment just for fun has been around since the beginning of quoted comments in message boards. No harm done. No one is denying that person their opinion. You did a lot of name calling in there. And we're the whiny children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
