I can't imagine bringing a 3 and 1yr old on that trip. Not to mention absolutely unsafe, if they had any issues where the kids end up in the water with lifejacket or not, they are most likely going to be swimming with the fishes.
That must have been a great trip, but you're right, not with very young kids. After having 4 kids myself, I can say I wouldn't want to be locked in a small cabin with a 1+3yr. old for weeks at a time, ever, let alone out of sight of land! More for my sanity than for their safety.
I might be the one jumping overboard after a few days of crying babies with nowhere to escape the noise!
It'll be interesting to hear their side of the story when they sell it to the media.
