Like▼As there are designated "child areas" on the (BC) ferry, there should be designated "child free" zones. There is an area of sorts within the designated "business station" area, but it's not enforced and ignorant parents ignore the courtesy definition in the welcome announcement entirely. I can't escape crying and rambunctious children no matter where I go on this boat!!
