Children have no business sitting AT the bar, and I have no problem asking the “parents” to remove them. Much like I have seen no written rule about kids sitting on the floor of a busy Windjammer while grinding food into the carpeting as people try to get by them while their mindless parents go about eating their lunch. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go lecture the adults about decorum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they were with other family. Perhaps the entertainment was a few minutes away from starting. Who were they hurting at the time? What law were they breaking?

In many bars, the service is much better at the bar. It's my opinion. In my state children are not allowed to sit at a bar. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion but my opinion is different. In my country it’s generally determined by the time of day, not where the seat is located or what height it is.

BTW I never said anything about 11PM , you did. Safe travels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireEMT978 Posted October 15, 2023 #320 Share Posted October 15, 2023 On 9/27/2023 at 4:16 PM, BND said: I was informed on here several years ago that the Solarium is not a quiet spot and that people are in there to have a good time, you know, even if it infringes on others. The reason it's adult is so adults have ONE space they can be in without worrying about kids being around. Whether it's language or whatever. Kids have their own space that adults can't go into. Spot on. There is a library, if people want to have a silent, peaceful area to read. I prefer music in the Solarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted October 15, 2023 #322 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Music is fine but I draw the line with those clods who bring in their own bluetooth speakers thinking I want to listen to their rubbish music. If there is music it should something Royal deems appropriate for the environment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireEMT978 Posted October 15, 2023 #323 Share Posted October 15, 2023 On 9/28/2023 at 9:19 AM, Billy Baltic said: Agreed. If someone wants to talk so loudly that the whole place can hear them, there’s a more appropriate place for them than the solarium. Similarly if someone wants to use a phone hands free. In the older ships in particular, it’s a small space and one clown can ruin the area for everyone. Quick question. Many times while in the solarium, my daughter will tell me "Dad you're yelling" while we are in the pool talking with her and other people. What are all of your wonderful thoughts about that? As I am deaf/hard of hearing, and have to remove my hearing aids while in the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that at 19.4k posts, that you would be well aware of the library/card room situation on Royal ships. As others stated, it is an "Adult area" for "Adults", not children. I like to interact with other adults. That, is why I go to public areas on the ship that are designed for adults, such as the casino and Solarium.

I wouldn't worry about how loud you talk in the pool. Edited October 15, 2023 by Charles4515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
