A British family say they were forced to take refuge in their cabin after their 'family-friendly' cruise was ruined by drunken louts who turned the ship into a 'club'.
Iain and Sally Wright, from Sunderland, paid £8,000 for the voyage which 'looked great for kids' and embarked on a two-week trip around the Spanish coast on the MSC Cruises Virtuosa on July 12 alongside their two children, Jack, 11, Molly, eight, and Mrs Wright's mother.
But they said they endured a holiday from hell after they were surrounded by 'an insane level of drunkenness' from rowdy youths, while Molly suffered an allergic reaction after swimming in a pool covered in black soot.
Mr Wright, 41, an author, said they tried to leave the cruise halfway through when in Majorca after they were sheltering in their rooms to avoid the 'horrible' atmosphere of 'constant swearing' and drunkenness on board.
One inebriated guest even threw up next to the family's table while they were playing Scrabble. Mr Wright claims it took an hour for staff to clean up the 'smelly mess'.
