Creator's Key Takeaways
What? PO are allowing kids on their adult only ships.
I'm going to look on the positive side, as you can imagine, for a family of four.
This change will only affect a small number of sailings, not every cruise on Aurora or Arcadia.
Adults on board won't lose any space or amenities.
