Me and My monther-in-law (one cool chic) will be sailing this december on the Inspiration and if it is the same as last year it will be my LAST carnival cruise.

The "no diapers" sign does not surprise me - we had the same problem in our condominium pool! We have a minimum number of children resident in the building - doting Grandparents are the problem! Their visiting 'angels' can do no harm! Bet they were not as lenient with their own kids.
We don't cruise when schools are on vacation - many of today's parents have little or no consideration for the comfort or enjoyment of others. Having said that, we've done several Christmas and New Year cruises (very much family reunions etc.) and have enjoyed well brought up children. At that season cruise lines perhaps have extra staff on board.
Please do not blame kids for spoiling your cruises, blame parents / chaperones!
I bring my seven year old every other cruise. Sometimes he sits and relaxes in the spa with me. He doesn't splash around and we just sit, relax, share a soft drink and talk as if I'm sitting there with a miniature adult. Then other times he's in the children's center being a kid.
I have been on some hols where the "grown up pool" is littered with kids - YAK!!!

Many Cruise lines are still popular with the over 50-60's, with few kids aboard. All you need do is a little research before you book!
