WOW! Sounds dreadful. Too bad you had to go through all that. We cruise Royal Caribbean and haven’t had any problems. There are always babies on board with plenty of stuff for them to do.
Family Cruising
There is also a program called ROYAL TOTS for ages 18-36 months. I think cruising has come a long way since the late 90’s.
That's actually the condensed version. I didn't go into the elevators that smelled like puke every morning from the passengers the night before, or the details of the snotty service from ship personnel. Then, the problems with my family - they were all very mad at us because we dared to insist on things we were promised, and to complain when things sucked, etc., etc., etc.
Including airfare for four of us, several nights in a hotel, the “tips,” the money we spent on stuff in ports, this “luxury vacation” cost me personally over $6,000. And my mother spent over $2,000 for the basic stateroom.
“We cruise Royal Caribbean and haven’t had any problems.”
Since our adventure, I've heard that they're a good line, among others, and that Carnival is pretty much scraping the ugly stuff at the bottom of the barrel. Although some folks apparently like Carnival.
But I don't think we'll be cruising again any time soon. The wounds are still fresh in our minds, it only being a little better than a decade since it happened, LOL.
