Always be aware when you are on a cruise. Know where your kids are on a ship. Cruising is the best vacation in my opinion, but not everyone remembers you are sailing on a small city with thousands of passengers you do not know. If you allow your kids to be off on their own, let them know where you will be so you will be easily found, also know where they will be. At night if you walk around on deck be sure to not go alone. If your younger kids are in the pool, watch them, crew are not babysitters, all it takes is one idiot adult to jump in and take a kid under with him/her. If your young daughter is in the bathroom and hears a male voice close by, stay there for a few minuites till you cannot hear him. Kids should not leave the shp in port without an adult , trust me, it is NOT safe. These are simple rules to follow and should not ruin your cruise.
