[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a cruise we were once seated with another family with a toddler. Great! we thought — until they immediately turned out a tablet with volume on an incredibly high value. My spouse and I were mortified at how rude it was for the other diners.

We don’t show a tablet to our toddler during dinner (we had it with us for the airplane), but I went back to our cabin to get the device because our toddler was screaming that we couldn’t watch a tablet too.

We were going to be seated with them for the week, so we weren’t exactly in the position to ask them to turn it down and they didn’t use headphones. We set our child’s tablet on mute, but the other family never picked up on our cues.[/quote]

You find a manager who tells them to put on mute as it is bothering many other guests.[/quote]

I tried this at Mike’s American in Springfield last year. Kid watching movie on an iPad loudly during Easter dinner. Was told they couldn’t ask the family to put it away, so we no longer dine there. [/quote]
