I can tell.
I have little to no cartilage in my left knee and my orthopedic doctor has warned me not to use stairs or I will need a knee replacement in my 30's.
I use the elevator and make no apologies for it.
I don't walk with a limp, so how would you be able to tell?
Just curious.
Sorry, but unless it says CHILDREN'S trivia, anyone participating has the right to play to win. (And I say this not as someone who gives a rat's patootie about trivia but as someone who believes we do children a disservice by letting them win all the time. Because life will not let them win all the time.)
I want to single you out, Beth, to say that my teenaged sons agree with you completely on this, and have since they were little. Whether it was Parent/child baseball/basketball games at the end of the little league season or indoor soccer with the parents at scouts, they want to play with the adults and compete with them at full speed. If you can beat them, fine. They don't mind. It is a game. But watch out, because they will play their best too. We did several competition type things on our recent cruise and they didn't expect (or get) any special treatment.
To Rabb it's point, I don't like it when anyone gets so caught up in "winning" these things that they are rude or mean to other participants, especially in something as laid back as a cruise ship.
Of course, maybe I'm not the right person to ask about competing with children. Tonight my two sons and 20 of their teen-aged friends are going to a Laser Tag place (it is open to all ages), and I will be right in there with them trying to hold my own. I've been doing this a lot longer than they have, so I usually do pretty well, but I know that my younger son will be a the top of the leader board for most rounds, as usual. Nobody there will be "going easy" on him. If anything, I'll suggest they target him specifically, but it never has helped keep him off the top spot so far.
People who push into the elevator before letting people out.
People/families who take 10 combinations of photos with the characters.
I wouldn't but the percentage of disabled people on any cruise is going to be pretty small. The percentage of people on a cruise that take the elevator up and down one or two flights of stairs is really high. This is a pet peeve thread. I don't have to share my reason this is a pet peeve. Things that bother some people aren't going to bother me. If people are going to be judgmental over someone else's pet peeve the thread has no purpose. We all have our reasons certain things bother us so I'll just leave it at that. People not dressing up bothers pp. How do you know certain people don't have some medical reason they can't dress up. You could just go on and on with that theme.I have little to no cartilage in my left knee and my orthopedic doctor has warned me not to use stairs or I will need a knee replacement in my 30's.

Like I said it's my pet peeve. I don't have to justify it. I just have zero tolerance for laziness. I have other things that bother me, but they would get people even more mad then the elevators so I'll just keep them to myself.The elevator thing is a hard one though because you never know if someone is recovering from some sort of injury, or recently had surgery, or a myriad of other things. I guess what you're saying is, for those that are fully healthy, take the stairs for just a flight, and that makes sense. The problem is we just don't know.

Ok then. Parents that let their kids drink sugary sodas all day. Most of the kids I see doing this are overweight. I have a feeling they do this at home too. Can you tell I work in healthcare? Yeah I'll admit I get really irritated by Americans and their unhealthy habits.Laziness abound these days that's for sure. This is an air your grievances thread so you should feel free to lay them out here.

1. I wish everyone dressed up for formal night or if one of the dining rooms could be formal wear only for that one night. Really this is silly, but I would love to be in a room full of people all dressed up again!.
Yes! Adults: make room for the little ones!Adults that don't make room for children to see the show. ....
Had one guy with a video camera on a tall tripod standing up front middle the entire time.
