- CRUISE PASSENGERS FLEE AS RIOT BREAKS OUT
Cruise passengers and others who were there to look at the Disney Dream cruise ship ended up running from a riot with 2 protest groups clashing with police. Tropical storm approaching Florida causing many ship to change directions and ports. Disney floats out it's newest cruise ship the Disneny Treasure.

Anyone who books a cruise in areas known for hurricanes during hurricane season should not be surprised by the need for changes to the itinerary. Nor should they be angry about the cruise line doing what is necessary to keep passengers and crew safe.
passengers would be the first in line for compensation too ... just do not book in hurricane season ...
100%!!!!!
Modern term for that is mostly peaceful.
Amen.
They are not mostly peaceful though 🙂↕️
@@_Ekaros yes when the right wing acts crazy and pushes racism it's "mostly peaceful" it's only anti-racist protest their poor behavior that it's called anything more dangerous
@@goodgrandma2758 it's peaceful according to most media
To everyone in Tampa, stay safe and dry.
Regarding Liverpool the riots were a nationwide problem at the time. It's unfair to single the city out.
When you cruise to the Caribbean in August, September and sometimes October, you have to be prepared for any manner of changes due to storms, and only cruise from local ports (drive of 2 hours max or whatever means local to you). I remember a cruise that went north to New England and Canada instead of the Bahamas because of a hurricane. Passengers were offered a refund if they chose not to go. Be safe everyone.
Boston instead of the Bahamas, NO WAY 😅
A lot of tension amongst people nowadays. So much political hatred inflamed by media and politicians themselves.
Yes sadly some politicians are causing problems. One new MP and his party members are stirring up a lot of the trouble in the UK.
Yep, it keeps our eyes off the corporatists stealing everything.
@@barbaraauty9966
I hope you dont mean Farage? Starmer is poison.
it seems to start at the politicians themselves ... their dislike for each other sets the mood ... imho ...
Blame it all on trump. His vile and vicious psychopathic behavior normalized being a conman and election denier.
I hope everyone in Florida stays safe!
The cruise line will always do what is best for the passengers. Thank you for thinking of us first.
I really hope everyone stays safe in the upcoming hurricane Debby!
If you don't know why the protests are happening, then don't comment on the protestors. No doubt, the Boston Tea Party would have upset you.
I was once ona three hour cruise that lasted 3 seasons. 😂
If you have no scheduling flexibility, cruising in hurricane zones during hurricane season is risky .
agree
I was on the Dream in Liverpool when this happened. All aboard was around 6:45. We headed back to the ship around 4:30 and saw the protestors. At this time, they were loud, but peaceful. We felt safe. They weren't on the dock, they were in the streets near the British Music Museum close to the famous Beatles statue. Around dinner time (6pm) I checked our FB page for our sailing and people said it was getting out of control and buses were being rerouted. A cop was thrown off his bike and his nose was broken. Another's jaw was broken. Everyone made it back to the ship on time and without incident. We left right when we were supposed to. They were protesting the immigration issue. Three little girls were stabbed and killed at a Taylor Swift dance party in North East England by someone who was initially reported to be an illegal immigrant around 17 YO. I think they later found out he was born here and his parents were the immigrants. The people of England are tired of their culture and their cities being over run with mass illegal immigration, which is why they were protesting.
Is this not a wonderful world we live in. ??????? What is wrong with people
FYI.....Icelandic Meteorological Office on Tuesday issued a warning, bracing the country for an imminent eruption “in the coming days.” 31 July 2024
Ugh 😩! Horrific news for them.
Last minute changes are a bad thing for those of us who fly in to cruise.
When you show up to a protest with a mask you are a coward and up to no good.
@@darryld_009
Perhaps Covid plays a role in people wearing masks, I still wear a mask in crowds.
@@bebe553 Yes for health reasons wearing a mask is valid but to wear one so you can't be identified on camera is not.
@@darryld_009
How do you KNOW the reasons people were wearing masks?
@@bebe553 Bebe this is a much bigger topic for Don's channel and I won't reply after this. If you watch other videos or look at the stills in news reports from that event. I admit that many did not wear face coverings. The shot Don showed in his video is typical you see a young man who took his shirt off to act as a scarf (mask) over his face. Is it hot and smoky, maybe from the dumpster fires that were started that day. Otherwise why was he covering his face in this case? I think to hide and does it look like that man just thrown something? I wasn't there so it's up to individuals to form their own opinions.
@@darryld_009I agree, Darryl. It's always the same bunch that show up for "protests" (riots). You can see from the still shot that they were conveniently made t-shirt ninja masks so they could "bravely" wreak havoc in anonymity for whatever the protest of the day was. They probably don't know (or care) about the subject - just the opportunity to throw stuff, and be violent and "tough". It's always the same people. I'm sure the masks have ZERO to do with Covid. I just wish we were more enthusiastic about prosecuting these violent activists - regardless which side of the political spectrum they think they're representing....
As always, excellent presentation
I live in Missouri so we drive in the day before. If Carnival asked us to get there a day early we could but we won't arrive until like 4pm.
People are getting more out of control all over the world . I am glad the new Dusney ship has had her float out. I am praying there won't be any tropical storms, or worse, the week of the 18th, when my cruise on the Celebrity Beyond starts.
Hi Don, please stick to stories that you know something about, as you know absolutely nothing about the current struggles that are going on in my country, I would never presume to get involved in the politics of Canada. So Don, butt out,
@@Tony-tc6ln yes he got things very wrong about that.
I agree Tony. If Don experienced this invasion first hand he would be more sympathetic towards the people simply saying “enough is enough” Those 3 little girls should be the last straw. This isn’t a far right far left situation.
Totally agree with you!
Great video... was watching some of the protests and I saw a giant cruise ship in the background. Not sure if I would want to be that close to the unrest.
I was on a cruise in Tunisia, when Arab spring protests erupted. We lost our tour guide as he was scrambling to find lost people in our group and appointed me leader, so I’m guiding about 25 people back to the bus in a foreign country ( I’m as white male as you can get) with a paddle sign high in the air. Talk about putting a target on your back.
@@dv8mr2 Funny!
Just got off the DCL Fantasy this morning and we did experience some weather while cruising. Now that we're back flights are canceled. Some people are having to spend the night on Orlando. My family included-going to L. A.. I was lucky to get out-going to vegas. Stay safe out there!!!!😢
Another reason I refuse to even consider going on a cruise. A floating greyhound bus with a casino and food poisoning.
Many love cruising, myself included. We find it relaxing if you want it, food haven if you want it, and unpacking once is a bonus, especially when you go to many ports. We take tours from the ship to be as safe as possible and see as much as we can. Sea days are great because you can sleep all day or join in ship activities.
Never had food poisoning or noro virus. I do prefer the main dining room for service rather than touching tongs that others have handled in the buffet, but lots of hand washing is a key. Love love, love, cruising.
I think you hit the nail right on the head, Don, by observing why certain 'protestors' seem to prefer certain commercial/tourist neighborhoods to demonstrate and get rowdy in versus in government/administrative neighborhoods where the people that can actually do something about whatever it is they're protesting are located and hear their concerns.
@@belxsar1504 it is not a tourist area, it is the centre of a city.
by certain, I’m sure you mean right wing because that’s 100% what’s going on here hope you’re not implying anything other than that
@@captamerica3693not only far right though is it?
@@MrKalem6572 yes in some places there are some counter protesters which are normal people standing up against racist, but they’re not organized and they are not everywhere these far right Nazis are all over the UK right now starting riots and
@@MrKalem6572 yes it doesn’t get any more far right than this turn into some of the European news channels and see what’s happening
You may want to check out Icelandic sweaters made from the wool of Icelandic sheep. Beautiful and warm.
All the Icelandic sweaters that I saw in the shops were Made in China. I was there on Rotterdam HAL in July. Anyway, I'll be on Caribbean Princess in December in Western Caribbean--no need for Made in China sweaters, there.
Too bad. We have several beautiful made in Iceland sweaters and from Icelandic wool but we got them some years ago. Sounds like things may have changed since.
Genuine lopapeysa do not have shoulder seams.
They cost $250+ US or more.
The "Guild" location in R has the biggest selection, but pricey!
We were there just days ago.
@@kpl-CA I walked all around downtown Reykjavik, but did not see "Guild." Where is "Guild" located?
Thanks Don. In St. Pete and the wind is howling right now🌀☔. Have a lovely time with Tony in Iceland 💙🌬️!
Sitting here in Tampa. Tampa is wet today with flooding but… landfall is supposed to be much farther north at what is called the Big Bend region. Tracking map has Orlando just fine. Port Canaveral is on the east coast out of the way.
Prayers for everyone in the storm path hope everyone stays safe.
Adding prayers. Agreed.
My daughter was in the teen club of Carnival out of New Orleans when a huge fight broke out. She took video of it. Maybe 30 people fighting. I don't know why she stayed in a corner and filmed but it was crazy town!!
Most likely she stayed put so she could upload the video and get views on social media. If it was my child I would talk with them and tell them to leave conflict reporting to professional journalists.
@@mjneeds1585Exactly
What was the fight abt?
@@arribaficationwineho32 I would bet it started over something stupid like someone feeling “disrespected.”
@@mjneeds1585 always
The earlier departure of the ship could be a problem for many. I'm usually ready days ahead and could pull it off.
Hey Don. Yeah, we (Fort Myers, Florida) just had our 2 days of rain, tornados and storms. Storm surge hit Southwest Florida today. 2-5 ft. And 2-7” of rain. We went through this almost two years ago, worse of course, so we are having flash backs. Still so many blue roofs and people trying to rebuild. Would be nice not to have to worry about these storms for awhile. Have a nice night Don.
Even though I live in Florida, having to leave a day early would be hard because of family responsibilities I have. Just getting coverage for that at the last minute is really hard. That's why we avoid cruising in hurricane season.
Residents in several European cities are protesting against the massive influx of tourists the cruise industry brings. Barcelona is currently experiencing a lot of backlash against cruise ship passengers. It’s time for the cruise industry to work with these cities (Barcelona is an important port for nearly every cruise line) to make some changes. Cruise passengers, no matter the city, are an easy target because we are easy to spot. We are in large busses, we are in large groups, we are wearing some sort of excursion badging, we’re following someone with a lollipop - this needs to change. Personally, I have stopped participating in large excursions; we mostly do On Our Own. We also try our hardest not to “look” like tourists. We tend to adopt a more “European” look when dressing (FYI, white socks on men SCREAMS tourist). The dressier the look, the more attention you’ll draw. Do better at blending in.
You obviously haven’t got a clue what is actually happening here in the UK.
This is way bigger than the Disney Dream being in Liverpool!!
We’re on the verge of civil war here, the ship is irrelevant, I feel sorry that the tourists got caught up in the situation and ordinarily I would be excited that the Dream was in the north of England but you don’t know what we’re dealing with here! Its insane!
Don, we’re on The Utopia right now, heading back to port Canaveral for disembarkation. I’ve never been through a Florida hurricane - actually never been through a Hurricane, period. We had planned on driving straight home right after the cruise, but instead, we got a hotel room near the port and will hunker down for a day or two. I have no interest in driving through Hurricane Debby as she traverses Florida and crosses into Georgia.
I just wanted to mention that your calm voice, the kindness that is always present in your messages make me feel better. Thank you.
Good for you Don. These protests are crazy. The people are absolutely out of control. 😢
the protests are not crazy, they're a reaction to a young muslim immigrant killing 3 young girls, and injuring many more. The police and government protect minorities to a different level to the UK citizens
What the heck is happening , there seems to be unrest everywhere these days; I don`t know if things have got a lot worse or if we`re just more aware these days with internet etc.
What is happening? It is a civilizational collapse brought about by global money interests who are trying to create some kind of reset, and turn the world back to a feudalistic system.
Great Reset.
@@marjielalonde3875 this was caused by misinformation and stirring up by troublemakers on the internet. The trouble making protesters have been travelling to places nowhere near where they live. The same with a lot of things theses days.
Reykjavik means 'Smoky Bay' Said to be inspired by the steam rising from hot springs, early settlers named the bay Reykjavik, which means Smoky Bay in Old Norse.
Guess the donut shop did not workout
So will Liverpool make the list of the most dangerous cruise ports? I will wait.
I was on the Disney Dream cruise and I was sitting a couple hundred feet away from the protests in Liverpool enjoying the beautiful weather, after freezing in Iceland. There were police every where and I took pictures of the police horses and talked to the police. The protests where at the city hall, which is just across the street form the port, the police started telling the cruise passengers to head back to the ship. Before the rioting started, so if there were any cruise passenger still out there, they were stupid and didn't listen to the police.
Thanks to you and Tony for walking tours. You guys are great!
People have no respect anymore Don!
No consideration for others.
Ahhh, the benefit of living in the Pacific Northwest. Not much chance ever of a crulse being affected by hurricane. And two separate factions rioting only obscures what they were protesting and all that people see is the colateral damage--looted shops, injured officers, burnings....soon, no one realises why the protest were about.
I never cruise from June until the end of October.
I am a cruise travel agent, i can sense an influx of angry callers on the horizon...
😢😢😢
I can’t imagine how nervous those families were
It was pretty awful, especially for those injured by the violence.
We have video & photos of the violence in Liverpool, targeting us passengers, for those pretending racism doesn't exist 🙄
Thanks for the updates don
It's amazing how people use protesting as an excuse for looting and being destructive
@@rogersargent7232 I mean they're right wing neo-Nazi racist do you expect them to be well-behaved?
Most Brits are shocked and disgusted with the behaviour of a few who jumped on this as an excuse for violence. These are not my fellow citizens and I abhor their behaviour.
I would cancel the next one out of Charleston unless I flew. It's going to flood so bad you may not have a car when you get back. They are saying they have no idea how long it is expected to stall right over that area.
Wow Iceland!. I traveled last November and had a wonderful time. As for these knuckleheads fighting, outrageous! Praying that all stay safe in on the east coast.
always risky when it is hurricane saison
Funny, I was on the Disney cruise that was docked in Liverpool. Even funny we were 100’ away from the protest after our Beatles tour final bus stop. Desperate for a Starbucks… only one was around the corner of the protest. We went anyways.
I was there too on the ship. We never felt unsafe.
Don, you are very experienced in what you do and I have been following your channel since day one. However, re the riots in the UK, It's so easy from the outside to watch the main stream media and believe what you are told. This is so much bigger than a cruise ship. Most people of the UK have had enough and are not anti legal immigration, or far right or racist, as the media portray. I won't go into the situation(s) that have caused people to stand up and be patriotic and defend the UK but please don't make flippant comments about situations you know nothing about. All the best to you.
Was in Liverpool that day on that cruise, didn't hear anyone speak about that riot.
Enjoy Iceland, was there a few days ago.
Don has got several stories mixed up together, making it sound as though all the various events around the country happened at the centre of Liverpool and they did not.
@@barbaraauty9966 I’m starting to think that he’s got a political ax to grind as he’s trying to use the false equivalency of saying it was a right and a left-wing riot when nobody is saying that it’s clearly a right wing riot. End of story I’m disappointed in Don.
@@captamerica3693 totally agree. Ridiculous to cal anti racist protesters far left. Basically he has no idea what he is talking about, though that is even becoming the case with cruise related issues. Anything that sounds sensational so he can gain viewings of his videos now. Not the useful information he used to give. As a Canadian, he should stay out of UK politics anyway. He is just stirring up more trouble by putting out more false news.
@@barbaraauty9966 unfortunately I'm afraid he might actually know what he's talking about in the purposely muddying the waters to make the bad guys look equal to the normal people.... essentially normalizing the far right racist protesters while appearing to admonish them... I'm disappointed
@@morgydotc8651 Dan is looking for clicks and also trying to make some political statement that the right is somehow equal to the left and normalize their terrible behaviors while pretending to admonish them. quite deceptive all around and very disappointing coming from an influencer that I filed for years
Don, NEVER tell Floridians what we should do during a Hurricane!!! You have over stepped your boundaries now!
I hope you enjoy the Blue Lagoon & the volcano stays quiet while you are there. It's my favorite place in the world to go to relax.
Sky Lagoon was SOOOO much better than Blue Lagoon.
We were there a few days ago (2 day stay for the Dream)
Sky Lagoon is safer and more accessible, too.
BL was *covered in garbage* that was left behind days prior, when the first Disney ship excursion arrived. Very upsetting.
Will NEVER sail Disney!!!
We just got back to Missouri from a cruise out of Tampa yesterday....perfect timing from God 😊
Do the walk between the continents!
i am a huge cruiser - if you have the chance find the chocolate cowboy - his currently on the bliss but he is such a good time - also find ida on the joy - they are purpose driven to make sure you have fun
Short notice cruise changes are the worst. Not everybody can get there a day early, especially if you work, or need pet / house sitters.
I've been on two cruises that turned into "cruises to nowhere" due to weather. Both make my "favorite cruises" list. Debarkation is simplified, no customs.
Agree…..disappointing, but we still have a great cruise. 😊
Are they still having the trouble with the volcano and vents up in Iceland near the airport?
It was my understanding from a post I saw last night that the passengers on Carnival who could not make it to the cruise a day early will get a cruise credit. They will not be getting a refund. Carnival may rethink that, but that was the initial info that was sent out.
Not a huge government regulation guy, but that's where DOT might need to step in if passengers are only being offered a FCC. The assumption that everybody can easily change their schedules around to accommodate a last minute change by Carnival... kind of insulting IMHO.
@@mike-yo8qjthat’s the risk you take when you cruise anywhere in the Caribbean during hurricane season.
The cruise line doesn’t have to give anybody anything.
They can change any cruise anytime they want to . It’s in the fine print.
If they leave early or late or whatever that’s your problem not theirs.
@@thestooges333 I get that, and that's why I'm with Don --- always, always, always have travel insurance. I admit though, I don't know my policy well enough to know what would happen if the itinerary were bumped up by a day and if for some reason, I could not make it, how FCC would play into a claim. I carry an annual travel insurance policy much like Don. Though, I hate the presumption by a multi-billion dollar corporation that A) everybody signed up for Carnival will definitely want to sail them again, B) said people that cannot adjust are all happy to take a FCC over a cash refund. And yes, the fine print gives these companies a lot of leeway in terms of rights they reserve. I hate to say it, I've cruised enough that I know that as a passenger, this is purely a business transaction. Much like prostitution, you shouldn't catch feelings, b/c they (cruise line) is only there for the money. It's 2024, and I expect Carnival to do right to their ownership and shareholders.
Thank you Don for the news
I saw a near riot on carnival Cruise lines on The conquest where they almost ran out of guys burgers it was a free for all
Hopefully the storm does not damange anything or anyone. And getting on the ship a day early would be great. Plus a extra sea day is always a good thing. We never understand violence. It never solves the problem. Why put other people and property in harms way, to make a point. Your right do that at a government building. Not where people can be hurt and property can be damaged.
just because one group is far right doesn't mean everyone else is "far left" that's a lazy assumption.
the far righters weren't even properly protesting anything, they travelled in from outside the city and attacked stores and a mosque (even though the murderer wasn't muslim. there was a vigil for the murdered girls so...yeah attacking that is a great look. anyone remember the westboro baptist church and their attacks of us servicemen funerals?). the opposite side was local people who were defending their town and outnumbered the invaders.
it's easy to throw one's hands in the air and say well, everyone's to blame, but if one takes some time and effort to look into the background of things one might find that not all events in the world are perfectly balanced. that would be statistically...amazing.
Thank you for properly explaining what is happening in England right now with the riots and the counter protesters. The people rioting are using this horrible tragedy as an excuse to blame all immigrants.
Very well put, Don has not got the story straight at all and he has also attributed things which happened on several.places/cities to the centre of Liverpool. Tourists could have easily avoided the area where the protesters were gathering, as per the advice always given if there is any social unrest anywhere. We were in Barcelona a few years back when the Catalonian protests were being held and it got pretty grim at after dark, at night outside our hotel. We were fine out and about by day though as most people were just there to protest and were on no way violent.
@@donaldka: Which is bad enough. But stealing just shows that those who loot don’t care and the protest, just getting stuff for nothing. Like those who in a severe weather emergencies who break into stores to not get food and water, but TV sets, computers, and computer games.
Hooligans!
We just got off the Dream (in Southhampton, then to London). It only arrived back yesterday.
The protests were real, violent, and targeting Disney ship families, and crew, and the sweet families who came to see the ship & characters snd wave.
So disgusting.
So revealing.
We could *clearly* see it all.
The police were AMAZING.
There were passenger families targeted (guess why, as if that's hard), and there were passengers hurt.
I always fly in a day early in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Hey Don, thanks for your updates, I appreciate everything you do 🌸💙🌸
Hey Don hope you all are having a great time.
We took a ice berg tour in Alaska out of Hyder in a cabin cabin cruiser your correct it was amazing
Hi Don, looks beautiful except the cold.
The Blue Lagoon is closed now!
Can’t wait to see the Disney Treasure.
Not “far right”, that’s what the MSM and leaders want you to believe.
As someone from the UK I can tell you if you are in Liverpool like anywhere else for them it’s NOT a tourist area it’s where they live. Things are very tense in the UK in a lot of towns and cities ESPECIALLY the Northern areas. I will not being going into the office (London) but they wouldn’t of targeted the area because it was a tourist location.
Nooooooo, Don - (even as an Australian) = watch the News for the last couple of weeks from London - there have been these sorts of riots all over……..Not just at a ‘tourist’ area!
Hope everyone in Florida stays safe
so you lose a day and then come back and wait for your flight the next day. So the cost of your hotel or changing your flight should be covered by the cruise company.
Maybe if you got travel insurance. Otherwise that’s your problem. The cruise line doesn’t have to do nothing to accommodate you.
It’s just like a hotel that you must cancel before 3 days ( or whatever it is )of when you get there. If you cancel within those 3 days you lose all your money. No matter what the reason is. Even if someone passes away do you really think they care? No they don’t. That’s how it is.
Hey Don. I lived in the Tampa area for 39 years. with conditions generated from Tropical Storm Debby today, Port Tampa, Manatee and St. Pete are all probably closed as well as the shipping channel. No Traffic would be going in & out today and maybe into tomorrow. Not after what happened to the old Skyway Bridge when it was hit. Shipping just has to wait it out till it passes and calms down. Both the Carnival Paradise and Margaritaville Islander are currently riding it out NW of Key West based on CruiseMapper.
It sucks to have this happen and you’re just trying to enjoy your day.
If Don experienced this invasion first hand he would be more sympathetic towards the people simply saying “enough is enough” Those 3 little girls should be the last straw. This isn’t a far right far left situation.
Will be there in 3 weeks on the Jewel!
Why didn't you start with the information that the title suggests? Too much unnecessary information!!!!
Those Nationalist hate Disney.Disney will be here long after those guys are long gone from the Planet..Thanks for the update.
When you extend a ship stay for an extra day, do you think about guests who have airplane tickets on the docking day? Does a ship provide them with new airplane tickets for the following day?
We always drive to the port and arrive the day before but it is usually later in the day, not sure we could get there in time to board a day early.
Just got off MSC Seashore on Sunday. Captain made the call not to go to Ocean Cay.
I'd be happy to have an extra day since I always arrive a day early.
Never book a cruise during hurricane season. That would be between the months of late July - early November. Your best time for booking would be between mid November to at least late June to mid July. March and April are the best. May and June are ok.
I find it interesting that cruise lines are building bigger and bigger ships, and cruise ports are restricting their ports to only smaller ships. Now what?
Seems like there should have maybe been some discussions and research into how these ports feel about larger ships.
Are these larger ships now just going to go to their private islands and then go around in circles for a couple of days and then back to their main port?
How awful for the protest!
Yes, Florida is getting hammered on! Tornado warning right now, do your RUclips is keeping me engaged! Tx
People have gone crazy since the new PM was elected.
Yes I'm in northwest Florida but all is well just got some rain and wind 😊
Hi Don I like the intro with different people. Probably too much work for every video?
Oh wow! I was in Reykjavik on my ship for the past 3 days!
