Good idea. Many people don’t want to see kids during a vacation, especially people who can afford a Viking cruise and all the culture you soak up. Want to see kids? Go on Disney or Carnival.
most children today are not disciplined n
or trained. Liberal mindset and soccer moms free-range/BFF their kids which is sickening.
Their business, their rules. I like traveling with my kids, so would find something else to do. The older-set who pay for Viking cruises probably do not want kids around.
Who cares?
“Get off my boat!”
Good move on their part. It’s about time some cruise appealed to that demographic. Most kids I’ve seen on cruises were brats.
Viking also has eliminated casinos on it’ cruise ships. - Tom
This is an example of pro choice, in a manner of speaking.
I love kids when they are properly behaved. That’s certainly become less common.
But why shouldn’t adults be able to purchase a child free vacation? Apparently there are sufficient numbers to keep the cruise line in business.
Find a market niche & fill it.
Good. You want to go to a casino, go to Vegas.
I’m older. I like seeing kids about. Gives me hope.
All the ships I went on cruises on had a 18 y.o age limit.
Couldnt even bring my wife!
I have a feeling this is why they are doing this. Because so many kids nowadays are undisciplined, and there’s no way to administer discipline to other people’s children, they shoot a rule simply banning children.
“most children today are not disciplined n
or trained.”
Most kids today are spoiled little brats who need a trip to the woodshed.
This is happening more and more and will keep happening until parents start making their kids behave.
They just mimic their parents.
Funny you should mention that. I saw a prime example of free range brats in action last night waiting for a (long delayed) Southwest flight. Woman had three kids -guestimating here - but oldest was probably 8 and youngest about 4-5. Second thing I noticed was that one of the kids had his hair dyed green - never a sign that you're dealing with high class people when a little boy has hair died an unnatural color and when also one or more little boys have pierced ears and stud earrings. We're talking pre-school on one of them. Anyway the brats were running all over the place - getting into peoples' stuff while their (I assumed) mother had a self satisfied smirk on her face as in "Look at my wonderful children."
I'm guessing they were not Trump supporters
ba dum chhh!
LOL!
Kids today are like wild animals. No discipline from parents. I lived next to a nightmare family with two small boys for several years. If I am paying mucho dollars the last thing I want to deal with is kids.
