Ed,

With all due respect intended, I think you're over-reacting regarding kids and Disney cruises and Marco Polo. I have never heard it at the different beaches in SXM, myself, which isn't to say it doesn't happen, but really, as annoying as it is, they're kids and I doubt how they got there has that much to do with Disney cruises.

People do fly on airplanes with kids, at least, we always did, and I've heard them playing that game poolside at the Towers pool as well as at the LePlage pool the couple of times I was there, as well as at lots of other poolside locations, and those kids probably don't come off cruise ships.

Life is too short to let the small things get to you.......just think how very fortunate you are to have reached the point in your life where you're able to spend three weeks in such a wonderful place, whereas most of those parents with the kids are probably only there for a week at best. When the MP game at the Towers pool gets too noisy I just go up to my balcony and savor the views. And the peace and quiet. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
