Sadly, this is the reason why so many seemingly harmless things are band, because people always see the need to push things farther and farther until it gets way out of hand. Even on the ships, it can get to be a bit annoying when people are actively looking for them and poking around where you are sitting and most of the time, there are not children.

Hi Don Re : Comments about Amsterdam blockades and Extinction Rebellion. Firstly Extinction Rebellion is global)have caused issues with large coal trains and blocking 100,000 ton ore carriers in Australia, glued themselves to motorways and hung from bridges in UK and other pranks). Most countries arrest them, are fined a released. They do have access to lots of money. Millionaire backs them in background in UK. If you research many cruise lines have changed to the port o/s Amsterdam(being used by/4 protests started in their itineraries for next year already. Rotterdam does not have locks and is one of the largest cargo ports in Europe. Cruise vessels are also starting to use that. You need to fact check things first. You seem to read things without fully checking it out. Cheers Keith
