Good luck w/your teaching career. Hopefully it will be in a private school!

They are punks who don't know how to behave, have no class, no home training are disrespectful and should not be on the Mariner of the Seas in the first place. I will be onboard in May and hope I don't run into them. If they want to act like like urban rapster gansters, then they can go back where they came from or least over to Carnival.
Put them off at the next port and "Blacklist" them...and their parents too.

Be careful. The ever popular race card could be pulled out again.

Tis true, the 'insiders' such as yourself Feargus, who grace this board have advised me that there are VIP passenger lists, watch lists, and black lists as you describe.
The internet is a small place
Just as I detest air travel, which is no more than a flying bus, I am increasingly selective as to which ship, which itinerary and what time of year I cruise.
Although we know of selective cruise products where we are unlikely to encounter this, I would hope the larger cruise companies will soon identify a niche market to commit ships to the adult market. I believe Celebrity looked at adult only cruises, but I do not know if it materialized.
But that would not cure the ills of ill behaved adults, which are no rareity. I just continue to wonder why people who protest social behavior norms flock to cruising. Did they not KNOW other human beings would be aboard?

She used to enjoy leaving small brown surprises/ gifts in public rooms on various cruise ships at the time.Even 16 years or so later I have no idea what would be the fun in doing that!
So lovely ! Was she brownlisted ?
