Regatta Review

Additional details
Oceania generally offers an excellent experience. But not in the summer!! Our Alaska cruise was overrun with undisciplined kids. We could have saved packing our swimsuits, sunscreen, deck shoes and coverups, because there was no way to get anywhere near the pool or jacuzzis. Since Oceania specifically discourages children on board, shame on the parents who think that they are the exceptions, and that their own children are angels? NOT SO!
There were 40 (or was it 60?) kids onboard. It really doesn't matter, because when two kids get in a pool, no one else need apply. They were jumping off of handrails, running, yelling, splashing, and taking over the entire area. It's what kids do in and around pools - duh!
It was very disappointing to have been denied that part of our cruise experience, which was important to us. Parents, please take your darlings on Disney Cruises, where they (and the other pax) can enjoy themselves.

It's hard to re-use towels when there is NO PLACE to hang them to dry. If the cruise lines are genuinely trying to conserve water and be more environmentally aware, then they need to help their guests by providing real hooks that work for thick towels. Or, how about some towel racks?!? I am not a "greenie," but wouldn't mind trying to conserve. It is impossible with the facilities provided.
