*A Royal Caribbean bashing thread(what a big shocker there!) but there were a few people defending Royal Caribbean and saying that it's not for everyone but it is good for families(especially the largest ships which have a lot(ice skating,climbing walls, etc.) that kids like.
Eventually, I think Holland America will wind up having a mega ship built, just so they can keep up with other cruise lines and their ships-and they'll market it more to families.
That's not to say that Holland America isn't kid friendly-it is.(I always have said that if Holland America did not want kids on their ships then they wouldn't puts kids/teen clubs on their ships.
It always annoys me when I see people try to discourage people with kids from cruising on Holland America;unfriendly much? The number of kids on any given Holland America cruise can vary wildly depending on the time of year.
Sometimes though it's just out and out hostility to anyone with kids. And people wonder why Holland America cruisers get stereotyped as being mostly old people(not true-there have always been a few kids on the Holland America cruises we've been on.)
I don't think that the posters on the Holland America boards at Cruise Critic accurately reflect actual Holland America cruisers. Not.Even.Close.Though some of the diehards would LOVE to think that that is the case. These are some of the people that are right there suggesting that people with kids try another cruise line(I wish I could say I was exaggerating but I'm not.)
There are some subjects(dress code for one) that are certain people's berserk button.Kids on HAL cruises are others. For a while there were a lot of grammar posts(never mind that it is a huge-ass no-no to correct peoples' grammar-people do it anyhow.)
