On our January cruise we were waiting to board a tender boat to go to St. Thomas. A boy in front of us was boarding the tender when it began drifting away from the ship. The boy had one foot on the ship and one on the tender, then he fell into the water between the two and hit his chin on the boat on the way down. They pulled him up out of the water and took him to get stitches.
While I consider the "natural" method of feeding an infant the best for the child ........ right at the coffee station on deck 9, with NO COVER AT ALL, is not the proper place. I was stunned to see 'it".
A couple of cruises back...we cruised with what DH called "The
Tacky Family". The TF consisted of two or three young couples, with 2 or 3 kids each, and the grandparents. They were the people that saved a chaise lounge at The Mickey Pool for everybody(including the little kids), they saved the tables and chairs at the MP, they brought their strollers and parked them in the walkways, saved the seats in the WDT....that type.
And like a previous poster, I'm not bothered by too much, as I work for the fire department and if I haven't seen it, I've heard about it....but anyway, one morning we rush up on deck to find TTF already at the pool. So, I snap when I see the tables and chairs saved, AGAIN, this is about the 2nd or 3rd morning of the cruise. I politely move their stuff from one table (and yes it was their stuff...I'd seen it all week) to the railing behind the tables. Other people came up and did the same thing, as TTF were all lounging by the pool in the chaise lounges.
Soon I see all the kids, who are coming down the Mickey slide, come down the slide, then stop and stare over to where these people are lounging. So, along with one or two other Moms, I walk around the pool to see what all the kids are staring at. One of the TTF young ladies was hugely pregnant(I know she was past the required time to be cruising) but, and she is laying in the chaise, with her naked belly exposed to the sun. One of the Moms goes and grabs her son by the arm and storms over to the CM on duty at the pool. Well, the pegnant lady was evidentially not happy when the CM came over and asked her to cover herself up. So, she gets up, pulls her swimsuit top down and stops in her tracks, when she discovers that all the tables and chairs are now occupied by other people!!! So, then all of them get up, get their stuff together, which takes about 20 minutes and stomp off!!!! I don't know what she was the most shocked about...the fact that they asked her to cover up or that people had taken the tables!!!!! Anyway, we never saw them at the pool again.

Wait -- why would someone have to cover their stomach on the cruise?
pulls her swimsuit top down
Meaning more then just her belly was showing
I dont think they should have to breastfeed in the bathroom stall but a little discretion would be nice. I was on a plane and the lady next to my 11 year old god son just whiped her breast right out there and breastfed...he was so embarrassed and he was stuck there next to her on the plane the whole time she did that...a little cover up,, blanket etc would have been nice!
The proper place was where she was. I do not deny that at all. I also said that I believe in breastfeeding as what is best for the child.
This person's breast was completely uncovered, leaving NOTHING to the imagination. As if it makes a difference (and I might be flamed for saying this) .... it was not very shapely or cute. If she had been discrete it would not have made any difference at all.
I want to say that I applaud women who give the extra effort to breastfeed. My wife did not have the opportunity because of medical reasons and she believes that she missed out on the bonding.
I have to say I hope you did not move.
On our second DCL on debarkment day we were waiting patiently in line for our shuttle back tot he Rad and a gentleman broke line and while doing it he pushed my son down. MY son was bleeding and he never once said I am sorry and YES he saw what he did. He basically shoved DS out of his way in order to jump on the shuttle. While making the comment he was not waiting in that line and rushing his family onto the shuttle. I had to doctor my DS then 9 because he knees were bloody.
The OP never said anything about beasts being exposed, just a belly. I have "tank-ini's" that I could if I wanted to pull the belly part up not show anything above it.
The beast was exposing himself? Does Belle know about this?
