Are you and your family feeling restricted on holiday? Do you feel your being punished or ousted for having children with you on a cruise ? A holiday doesn’t begin until everyone’s enjoying themselves. As a father of two boys , I can honestly say we have never felt restricted before , but as my two start to get older, one is soon to be a teenager , I wonder if they might start feeling a bit frustrated on a cruise?P&O for example have these rules in place so everyone on aboard can have a safe and fulfilling holiday.
