Missed the Ship - Carnival Magic - Cozumel, Mexico - Aug. 12, 2014

- An impromptu video filmed in HD but compressing and zooming compromised the quality - my apologies. Of course the message is clear, THE SHIP DOES NOT WAIT! I felt bad for them, especially for the little girls in tow but truly nearly 4,000 guests managed to be on the ship on time. I don't know what circumstances led them to miss the ship. When that happens, hopefully you have your passports so you can head to the airport; if not, your first stop, I suppose, is the embassy to get documents in order then go to the airport. At the airport they could have flown to our next destination (Grand Cayman - the following day), Jamaica where we'd be the day after Cayman or fly back to the home port of Galveston and wait on their luggage. No matter what it's costly but at least make sure you have your passport with you if you leave the ship. SIDE NOTE: If you're late because of an excursion you purchased through the cruise line they ARE supposed to wait on you. All that said, the trip was amazing and so was the Carnival Magic! Can't wait to do it again! I hope this video helps you plan to be back on the ship on time if you've got a cruise in your future... or what might happen if you show up late.
What I learned in the military. If your on time, you're late, if you're early, you're on time.
Same here .
And if your late your late late
15 years later, I still prefer to show up an hour early for appointments over being a minute late.
My dad/USMC drilled this into us
15min before and your on time. Now I wait an extra 15min at the VA.
Hurry up and wait !
People never cease to amaze me. Just taking their sweet time thinking the world revolves around them and that the ship will still be there when they are darn good and ready to return. Being left behind is what they deserve.
USFanlovesjiwoo ... I totally agree. If you cannot read a watch ... PLEASE STAY HOME!!
EXACTLY!!!
the parents taught their children a valuable lesson. Never, ever be late; the world does not revolve around you.
Exactly, and if the tour bus you are on--a designated by the cruise line bus, and it is hit by another bus, and you CAN'T get back on time, then it does not fall in the category of "never being late". But fact is, you are right: the world does not revolve around you. IMO, in that case--as a side, they should offer you (the bus line) transport to the next port of entry so you can re-gain you seat on the ship
thegoodlife4us but,but,but,
Safe space!!!
🙃
thegoodlife4us tell that to liberals 😂😂
Why does everyone always try to make it sound like the passengers fault? The world doesn't revolve around you idiots either. Don't like waiting an extra 5 mins? Tough. Suck it up Princess
@@chadbaker3117 it is passengers fault. dont blame anyone else because you are late minimum 30 minutes, but most likely for 45 or even full hour. every time you are being told to return at specific time, and every time that is exactly half a hour before ship departs time. so 30 min is there. every time when someone is late, ship stay for 30 min or even full hour waiting. so, what is your excuse?
Some of my fellow cruisers thought I was a little too worried when I told them that I was going to plan on being back on board two hours before the deadline. It was my first cruise and I didn't want to get caught up in being late due to the time zone change, traffic, being tired from all the walking I planned to do, or something else. As it was I got back on board only 1.5 hours ahead of the deadline. The streets, shops, and museum were so crowded I cut short everything I had planned to do and I still missed the deadline I had set for myself. The last long walk to the ship is the one that seems to take forever after walking around all day. You really need to significantly lower your expectations of the amount of activities you can do within the time allowed at a crowded cruise stop.
The ship actually does wait quite a while. If they missed it, they must have been really late.
But they don't have to.
They'll usually wait 30 minutes max.
InstaBlaster...
@@tazman572 That is quite a while though
This is exactly why every pier a cruise ship departs from should have a catapult at the ready.
nah a trebuchet would be better
For anyone going for their first cruise: Ship's Time. You should get to know the concept of "ship's time"
When you board the ship, the cruise director will come over the intercom and tell everyone to set their watches to ship's time. When you are on the sea, ship's time doesn't change when you cross time zones. Your watch or cell phone clock will likely change automatically to keep you in sync with the actual time ashore. This will get new cruisers in trouble. This causes people to return late because their cell clock says that, for example, is 2:30 when it's actually 3:30 ship's time. You'll get back just in time to see the ship sail away.
Actually whether ship time and local time are the same depends on the captain last cruise I went on he had us change time zones to match local time, but on the other cruises ship time has always been local time from Fla ( where we left from.)
I Love Cozumel...Always have a good time on the island and get back to the ship in time to position myself with a perfect view of the pier and a cold drink in hand. Then, as time to sail gets closer, we watch the pier runners scrambling to get back before it sails. Often we cheer them on, Incredible FREE entertainment. I can do that because I have been late myself.
Having been on several cruises the cut-off time to be back is always advised several times before people disembark. And always when almost ready to sail on to the next port there are stragglers running to the ship running late. It really isn't all that difficult to manage your time and if they can't organise themselves better then they deserve to be left behind!!
When your mommy told you that you were special and then you find out that you're NOT.
lolol Exactly !!
This video makes me happy and giddy at the same time.
I was on this cruise and watch them running. We found out later from the crew that they were running to the wrong ship and that makes this even funnier
+Sonya Sherow - Sonya, that's good to hear if it's the same folks. It looked like they were a larger family with kids. I had asked the crew and they said missing a ship is fairly common. They simply used it to remind us that it does not wait unless your late from a Carnival Cruise affiliated excursion. We are going again soon, on the same ship. Can't wait!
I love watching these videos and I share with my cruise mates. They do need reminders don't miss the ship. I was just amazed I was on that same cruise. We will be on the Carnival Freedom for the first time next month and cannot wait.
+Sonya Sherow - That was an amazing cruise. Montego Bay was great. We paid a cab driver to take us off the beaten path. He showed us less traveled areas and took us to a hole-in-the-wall place for jerk chicken. It was my favorite port. My son was spoiled by the Magic... I'm sure it was the enclosed waterslide, etc. We'll be on the same ship, this time in a cove balcony. Going to check out the Bahamas. Can't wait! That cruise was our first. Have you been on others? We're always up for tips if you have any. There's another video log on RUclips by Maggie Benitez that appears to be that same cruise we were on. Good stuff! Where will you go on the Freedom?
+Sonya Sherow SMH...lol
JustHuntVids I learned something on RUclips today. It is beaten path not beat and path. Ty.
I have been on 3 cruises and we are always back at least 30 minutes prior to the cut off time. I have no intention of missing the ship. (Former Navy so it is a serious offense to miss ship's movement)
I've never been on a cruise, but I would be totally neurotic about missing the boat and would be back in plenty of time. I would probably start worrying about halfway through the day and have a nagging feeling of wanting to get back as early as the ship starts reboarding.
If you're former navy you're cheating. It's like step 1 scratch balls. Step 2 don't miss ship
That's how my family did these. Except we were on that boat an hour before (or earlier depending on where the stop is).
This is why you book your excursions through the ship. You pay a little more but they won’t leave you no matter what
As a former manager, my number one pet peeve was people being late! I would lock the doors when the meeting start time came...all those who were late, had to wait outside until after the meeting. People now have no respect for others or themselves to not be somewhere when they are supposed to be......Hope this family got home ok, especially when in Mexico.
Exactly. Not sure if it's still the same way, but when I last went to Mexico customs/immigration gave you a slip of paper that you had to have to be able to leave Mexico. No paper? It's a pain in the ass to leave.
Happy to see INCONSIDERATE people, learning a lesson!
I love how they have their arms in the air like it's the ships fault they were late. How dare they not hold up thousands of people to cater and wait for them?
The cruise lines warn you enough. Carnival will tell you if you miss the ship, "There's nothing more beautiful than watching the Carnival Magic sail off into the sunset." It's the passengers' responsibility to get to the next port on their dime.
Haha. I just got from a CCL trip. That's exactly what they told us too. We never missed the ship.
LOL! That sounds like something John Heald would say.
I've heard one cruise line (Royal Caribbean I think) will tell the port agents to search the bars for you if you booked an excursion through them specifically. They then pile everyone into a stretched golf cart and make a beeline for the dock. Another passenger showed what happens when stuck in traffic and the excursion was done through the ship's agency: they sent a bus to search for everyone and drove them back to the dock. Again, this is ONLY if the passenger booked the shore excursion through the ship's onboard office, not a third party.
I love these videos. They brighten me up!
What an expensive mistake. All those plan tickets they have to purchase now.
When we took a cruise and stopped at Puerto Rico, we went into town to see the old colonial town but not too far from the sea port. We did not break away from a large number of other cruisers yet we didn't purchase the cruise excursion. 1.5 hrs left, we were at the port in sight of the ship. I can't wander off into place that I don't know anyone. The cruise excursion passengers were 30 mins late as they were stuck in a traffic jam but, that's a 'cruise excursion' and Yes, the ship waited😜.
Planes don't wait for you, trains don't wait for you, neither will boats.
ive been on a few cruises & im always so fussy about getting back EARLY. funny to me how many people are so lax about it.
If you can't be on time,,,,,,,,,than get there early.
Well, that's what happens when you're not back on the ship at the set time of departure.
Every cruise I've went on, I was back on the ship no later than 2 hours BEFORE departure time. It's nice to be able to walk around the ship and explore without the crowds or even to just be able to sit on the deck peacefully.
In the Navy we called that " missing movement". Very serious offense. They didn't care HOW drunk you were or WHO you were shacked up with. We learned in boot camp. "DON'T DO IT !!!!!"
I hope they a way to meet the ship at the next port. That's why I'm NEVER late getting back to the ship.
Now, that's a vacation to remember!
We only ever stay at the ports for an hour, so we never miss the ship. Also, we like the ship when nobody's on it. It's so quit at the ports.
Sucks for them, you have a time to be back.
My favorite activity on a cruise ship ( the
whole two times I went) watching runners.
Once I was a bit late for a plane. The check in desk had closed. But I still had half an hour before the flight and a different check in desk accepted me. I ran to the plane. Boarded it fine. Then sat for five hours on the plane as "technical difficulties" prevented us leaving the terminal. ( the flight was a 1hour flight. ).
ok, am I missing something. ....I have been on so many cruises. never missed the boat. I can't understand why people are so ignorant, as to think that this is their private boat and it should wait. They give you so much time to explore the island. Honestly, they should be left behind. ..
CuteKawaiiSquishies they weren’t on a tour sanctioned by the ship...or it would have waited on them. Lesson: arrange all tours through the ship/cruise line!!!
Exactly ramsport, they were NOT on a tour that the ship has payed for... It was some kind of other tour. The ship does not wait for people who take tours not scheduled by the ship. If it was scheduled by the ship the ship wouldve waited. Its a huge difference...
Stop acting so superior. Sometimes it's not the fault of the people being late. Sometimes it's the fault of local ripoff artists. Hotels; cab drivers; corrupt cops; financial disputes. Whatever. Those are the risks you take when you visit shithole countries. You have no control over what happens. If you absolutely must take a cruise, stay the fuck out of third world shitholes...
@CuteKawaiiSquishies dude, if they did the excursion through the cruise lines, yes the ship will wait. There's no excuse for being late. I've done many cruise and excursion, never late. Also per like these should be left behind. They have no respect for authority.
@@LeonAllanDavis if everyone else can come back on time, why not some can't. That's why you don't take private excursions outside for long. That's their problem they get late.
If your itinerary says the ship will be departing at 7:00 pm, be back on board by 6:00 pm. Better yet, try to allow for a 2 hour window. In some extreme cases (esp. during hurricane season) the ship may have to leave earlier than its departure time due to inclement weather warnings & you don't want to get stuck.
We usually book excursions with the Cruise ship. Yes it may be a bit more then if you where going with another company but the ship is guaranteed to wait for you if your running late.
Well, the ship does wait on you but only for 30 minutes. If the 30 minutes came, the ship WILL depart with out you, it won’t be the cruise lines fault, it will be YOUR fault. Tip: Always get to the ship and hour and thirty minutes early before it departs.
for those of you who have never been on a cruise before, the cruise line ask you to be back on the ship at least a half an hour before it is supposed to leave. so like he said, unless you are late because of a shore excursion you have booked thru the cruise line, the ship WILL NOT wait for you and you will have to pay to either fly to the next port, fly to the disembarkation port or fly home. so you have 2 choices either miss the ship and pay, or don't and have a great vacation (i recommend this one).
Anybody notice while parents are running ahead the three little kids are running along near the edge of the pier over deep ocean water? Those kids wouldn't go one step without holding my hands along that water. Of course they're someone else's children
I like that they're actually RUNNING towards the ship. It already pulled out, did they expect it to pull a U-turn? It's not a bus.
Do they have one of those incredibly advanced devices called watches? I've never been late, either it's a plane or a ship, I always make sure to give myself plenty of time to prevent THIS happens.
All cruises post the departure time so they have absolutely no excuse.
They only wait for you if you book an excursion with the cruise line.
I never saw anyone running late for a ship, but I did watch several led off in handcuffs when we returned to the original port.
Always book excursions through the cruise company and always make sure you are with other passengers (you can usually tell who is from your ship) I always recognised many fellow travellers from our cruise ship. You would be amazed after a few days you get to familiarize yourself with not all the passengers but most from your little corner of the ship. I used to also recognise fellow passengers from the ships towels they carried which were very distinctive. Only a goose of a traveller would miss debarkation!
At least they'll get a participation Trophy. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
What amazes me more is that crazy line to get on the other cruise ship. I travel on Holland America and there is pretty much no line at all.
This has happened on every cruise I have been on and, on every occasion, there is a boat that brings the people to the ship, provided the ship is fairly close to the dock.
Some people need to rent cabins houses, resorts - if you run on your time and tend to be late.
They won’t wait for staff, either. I was a showgirl/dancer on various cruises, half of the dance ensemble was left behind and had to pay out of purse to fly to our next stop. Maybe the more vital staff such as ship doctor or the captain (obviously), but not entertainers or hospitality. Don’t be late.
My rule of thumb is to be back on the ship one hour before the official 'all aboard' time.
That's a good rule
Great advice. I wouldn't push my luck. I'll be IN LINE at least half an hour before they call "all aboard!"
When I was in the Navy, if you missed the ship, you wouldn't miss it the next time because you would not be getting off the ship. Unlike in the movies, few sailors missed the ship.
Ric Trexell ....yep...missing your ship in the Navy is a Court Martial offence.....I did it once and lost one rank and suffered one month forfiture of pay....then I had the cost of the commercial airfare to the next port of call taken out of my next three paydays....
@@myheadhurts1927 My nephew in the Royal Navy, fell asleep on the beach in Hawaii during Rimpac 86. He missed his ship sailing, but, luckily, it was a frigate with a helicopter pad. The US Navy flew him out to the ship, about 30 miles off shore. In the brig for 10 days.
@@mike89128 Damn, the RN don't mess around. Ze Germans can be worse: when the battleship Tirpitz was berthed in Norway, the crew were warned that they were "on call" because the Luftwaffe didn't know when the Royal Air Force would attempt another attack. Then the Kriegsmarine issued an ultimatum: if we catch you stepping off the ship, you're dead. They meant it. One day, a bed check was carried out and someone was missing. They searched and found him in a nearby village. They tied him to a mast and he was shot by firing squad! Wow. When Adolf tells you to be back on time, you better be back!!
They didn’t miss anything, just go to the nearest Walmart, there you’re on carnival
Love that song! Grupomania!!!
Is it ironic that the song "Clocks" is playing in the background?
Well, the next time I go on a cruise, I will bring my passport with me and other valuables (ea-credit cards, cash, and even my laptop ) just in case something like this does happen. Clothes can always be replaced.
Just be there on time less dramatic
@@stephenmcgurgan7451 You never know what's gonna happen. Some other cruise lines that aren't Carnival don't wait if you're on a cruise-booked excursion, and if the excursion is late that's not at all your fault. It's a good idea to have your passport with you just in case. Maybe not the laptop though.
They also could pay for a port authority to take them to the ship on a boat. I had people from my group pay to be taken to the ship that pulled away last year in Grand Cayman. The ship waits 45 minutes after the announced time before pulling the last ropes. People go to the bars (Carlos and Charlie’s, Senior Frogs) and lose track of time. Happens more times than you think.
On your iPhone, go to Settings->General->Date & Time and turn off Set Automatically. That will ensure that the time on your phone doesn't get reset automatically upon entering another time zone. Do this before embarkation.
I am booked for my 15th cruise departing Feb. 3, 2019. I booked this cruise on Sept. 18, 2018. Carnival provided information as to the time of arrival and departure for each port involved in this cruise. This information was attached to the statement showing the itemized charges for the cruise. In other words.....If you booked your cruise yesterday or two years ago, YOU were given this information. How could anyone say that they did not know when the ship would sail? Only the same nitwits who are always late for the muster drill. I understand that sometimes bad things happen to good people.
we went on an excursion in Cozumel the ruins of Tulum we were really late getting back it was dark and I think well after five thirty. The excursion was great the ship waited but it was the fastest Ive ever gotten on a ship in port. Pretty much threw you on board to get you on. Only sad part was not getting to shop the first time in Cozumel so we had to go back on a cruise. If I hear the ships horn sound a bit before time to leave I get a place on deck to watch pier runners. Usually a pretty good crowd cheering them on
I was also running back to the ship when I went to Cozumel. Same excursion as well.
I was told that in Cancun, one cruise line tried to be nicer about this and called multiple taxis to search every bar near the beach and round up all their passengers 30 minutes early to make sure they made it back. I don't know what brand it was.
I was on that ship in 2015 it was amazing
You got to waite in the buffet line . You got to wait in this extra long line . Holy Mackerel why would anyone get a kick out of a cruise ship extravaganza is beyond me
I know for a fact that Royal Caribbean will wait a little while for passengers. I have heard them make calls and calls looking for missing passengers. And in the past I road Carnival and yes, they leave passengers on the peer.
Left in Cozumel, Mexico. What torture...
It's always wise to be on time
Yes, once the lines are "cast off" you are not going to be able to get back onboard, probably even if the ship hasn't moved a single metre away from the pier. It's like once the gate people move the passenger bridge away from the aircraft, you aren't getting onboard. The pushback with the aircraft tug is set to begin and they won't delay it.
That happened on a flight. The guy sitting in front of us got off the plane at a short layover then somehow did not get back on before we left. We were on the runway and freaking went back for him. Had to wait for a gate then wait for a spot to take off. Got in 40 minutes late despite the pilots hustling to make up time. Everyone was pissed at this genius.
Lol people I bet you blamed Ccl and asked for money back versus owning up to their responsibilities
5000 arriving on time is equivalent to never being late for work...in 20 years.
I often wondered if there's another boat in port that's heading to the exact port that the boat they missed is going to? If there's an empty room, I'm sure it would be cheaper than flying the whole family to the next port. Get that boat to radio their boat to inform them. Has anyone heard of someone doing that?
Always leave more than enough time to get back to your boat. Cruise ships leave on the dot to the second.
We ( the group) i was with head up the ship for 45 mins haha we got a standing ovation ( several 100s of ppke on the decks) when we finilly made it back
Woop!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😣they MISSED the BIG BUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There was a required harbor pilot on board that liner to navigate it out. At some point, a small vessel would retrieve him from the liner. They could have arranged to bring the stragglers out at the same time. With a severe penalty of course...
Thanks for the arrows :)
Debark? Where did they get the wood? Is that why they were late, they were busy buying firewood? Do the staterooms not have heaters? This is incredible!!!
....if a person leaves a ship, they disembark.
Hey, if they tell you the ship is pulling out at 6:47pm, that doesn't mean 7:00pm. It pulls out at 6:47pm. Lesson learned for them. Grab a flight (if you can get one) to the next port or go home. I was on a cruise in 2005 and the same thing happened to a couple. They had to catch a flight to the next island.
Excellent - serves them right.
Worked on cruise ships as chief purser, passports are unloaded with the ship agent an assistance given to next port of call, or home. Either way, at the cost if the passenger.
Are ship departures secret or something? There's so many videos of people missing their ship.
We watched people running to the ship on our last cruise this past January & almost got left. Now I understand that 'things happen' &/or if it's a situation where an excursion booked through that cruise-line is running late for whatever reason but otherwise, on a cruise ship, where it's effecting how many other people not to mention the ships timeline to get into the next port(s) on time... You just don't do that. It's just rude, it's disrespectful & you're basically saying to not just the other passengers but also the crew that 'my time is more important than yours'.
The Carnival Magic Could’ve Done some Magic! LOL
After 9 cruises. I am always back at least 1 hour before the ship sails, if it is a tender port , at least the third last tender, don’t risk it, always book longer tours with the cruise line, if the ship sails without the tour group it’s their fault, they must arrange the airfare and costs. On my first cruise the ship waited 3 hours for a bus of passengers only because they booked through the company, otherwise we would have gone. Long story short don’t push your luck.
been on 9 cruises AND NOT ONCE HAVE I EVER GOTTEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO BEING REMOTELY CLOSE TO MISSING THE SHIP when it leaves port. If you dont go on an excursion thru the ship then YOU MUST be sure to get back early.
Aren't you perfect...
not perfect.. just be punctual
Swim Forest, Swim!
I was on this exact cruise same time probably saw you once or twice when I was on
I always wonder, why people cannot make it on time. They always give half hour before the actual departure. Good they are left behind. I have no sympathy for these people
+mightysun89 Agreed...been on 12 cruises and have NEVER missed the ship in ANY port!!!
+mightysun89 Same.. never had to run the dock either. I use this thing called a watch to make sure I give myself plenty of time to get back on board.. lol
Some of them forget to switch times on their watch. Some take excursions not with the ship and if they're late, ship doesn't wait. Some go out on their own but something happens like traffic, road blockage from construction or even an accident, etc. and they can't get to the port. And a small percentage are busy shopping or drinking at the local village and just simply forget the time.
mightysun89 stop being such a narrow minded twit. sometimes it's completely out of their control, what if their tour bus broke down on the other side of the island? or in my case (I almost missed the ship literally made it back while they where pulling up the gangplank) -my dad and I had rented jet skis in Nassau and these big chunks of floating seaweed got sucked up into them and they stalled out, we where exploring one of the little out islands like half mile off and around the coast so the place that rented them to us had no idea we where immobilized, we had to flag down a little fishing boat and pay the guy 20 bucks to bring us back to the beach... sometimes things happen out of a person's control.
mightysun89 I was late returning to the boat in cozumel but I was on a charter fishing trip booked through the cruise, they waited 30 min. for us because we booked through them , if you book an excursion on your own they will not wait for you , the charter captain got us back late and there was nothing we could do about it
This is one of the best parts of a cruise....watching idiots who can't tell time running for the ship. I long for the old days when it happened a lot more!
That's why I always get port side balconies...lol it's great to watch them running and trying to not miss the ship...
What do they think? The ship is gonna come back for them?
Aww, I feel bad now. The children must've been crying like no tomorrow. 😦
Darn, stuck in Cazumel.
How late were they? Both times I cruised to Cozumel on Carnival we left an hour and a half to 2 hours later then scheduled due to waiting for fellow passengers to come back. So for them to leave they really must have been late.
I have never understood why anyone would go on a vacation that is dictated by the clock. Isn't that what you're getting away from?
They can't dock again because it's expensive and complicated and there isn't time. But they can stop at sea quite easily, lower their dock, and recover you that way. Hire a water taxi and chase the ship! Keep in mind that cruise ships are very fast, and not required to stop, it's completely up to the captain.
I am reminded of the Lucy episode where she missed her ship to Europe and had to take a helicopter to board it.
Common sense suggests returning to the ship at least one hour before departure. The unexpected is always lurking: a broken taxi, a traffic jam, an unexpected queue to buy a ticket ...
Don't be *THAT GUY*
When I go on a cruise I'm back 1hr before the actual departure time.
I wonder what happened to them in the end with no passports? Or did they have a passport? They could have had serious problems like sickness or injuries that caused them to be late. So i don't judge them for that but I hope they had their passports!
That was the captain and his crew! Who's driving the boat?
Was that the Rossi’s again? They almost missed the boat three ports in a row another time.
