Cruise - Royal Caribbean - Explorer of the Seas

EXPLORER OF THE SEA---There were 780 kids on board (Nov.4th) out of New
Jersey.No school that week. We had no idea.. I actually enjoy
kids,except when they run wild like street gangs. About 40-50 kids were
out of hand .Jamming elevators,putting mustard on railings,disrupting
shows,throwing things over board, roaming the ship all night
unsupervised. What was upsetting was it took RCCL four days to start
doing something about the problem by adding more security and
approaching the parents. I feel RCCL owed it to the passengers to ensure
our safety as soon as the problem arose .I had heard people were
injured from these out of hand youth. We are considering cancelling a
cruise booked for May

I prefer fun loving kids to old people passing gas on the elevators!

How about fun loving kids passing gas in the elevator?

Maybe why that's New Jersey has one of the lowest graduation rates in the
county!

You must of been trying to book a Princess cruise, they do limit the
number of children on each sailing. Other then that, I do not believe
that any TA knows or can find out the # of children or type/size of
groups on any sailing.
