- PARENTS BLAME TEEN FOR CRUISE SHIP LEAVING THEM BEHIND.
A passenger fell on a cruise ship and was left behind in hospital. Another man overboard situation in Norway. Australia is loosing 40% of cruise ship space in only two years. Parents blame teenager for cruise ship leaving them behind when they were late because they were shopping.

I am a retired teacher and in the US and this kind of parental behavior was frequent. I am THRILLED the ship left without them. They had no legitimate excuse for not arriving on time.
That's why you do ship excursions too. I know it's not the case here, and yes they might cost a little more, but at least you have that reassurance that the ship won't leave without you
@uptowngirl734 WELL not all adults truly become adults. They stay immature
.
@kellieroberts9094 NOT relevant. Besides even if this was an official shopping excursion, it was the parents who refused to return. Ship won’t wait
.
Mature teenager, immature parents‼️🚢
Even if the teenager had said anything, the ship was not going to wait.
At least,no more than 5 minutes .
@Wellch TEEN may have said something. We only have the parents side of the story. If I was that teen I would have boarded the ship & left parents behind
.
No accountability with these so called mature adults. Glad the teen left them to fend for themselves.
My dad taught from the day I could understand English, "if you're early you're never late".
Same, but then I joined the Marines. Now I can NOT be late, I freak the hell out if I am.
The parents should be ashamed of their selves. They should be setting the example not the teenager.
I misunderstood , I thought for sure the kid was the problem 😂😂
@pattaccone5347 POOR watching comprehension? Don clearly stated it was the teen who got back to the ship on time
.
@@electrictroy2010 it was from the title not watching the video 😂. Omg you’re comprehension is lacking as well. Next time just keep your mouth shut 🙏🙏. Please
Congratulations to the teenager for not embracing the bad habits their parents have role modeled for them!
Some folks can't be on time for anything. An expensive lesson to the parents. Kudos to the Teenager.
My 7 year old niece heard you. We took her on a Disney cruise when she was 5. She said “Aunt Debbie, they tell you lots of times they won’t wait for you. Why are they mad”. Even a 7 year old knows better.
Well done, for the teen. Glad to hear that not all bad habits are passed down. 😊
Hi Don I’m having a good laugh at the parents left behind and well done that young man cheers Don
“Maybe cruising isn’t for you.” LOVE IT!
So sad when a teen has to sit parents down for “The Talk.”
Hey Don I as m proud of the teen who left pooh parents to get back on ship because the parents decided they would Ignore the child. You know the rules before you go on the ship and as you get off the ship in ports. Those trinkets where more important than getting back on the ship.
Poo parents?
Sorry for spelling pooh nice way of saying it.
Smart teen, stupid parents. What annoys me the most is them blaming the teen and others and not owning up to their own lack of respect.
Big applause to the teen who shows to be more mature than his parents 🎉
It is inexcusable for adults to not be able to schedule or manage their time. It's not only immature and ridiculous, it's rude. There's nothing charming or amusing about it. Good for the daughter!! She did exactly right!! Shame on the parents for blaming her - it shows just how immature they are.
@csh43166 I had a friend always late. Most times it didn’t matter, but one time we missed half a concert (which is not cheap). He insisted I have to “accept” that he will always be late, or else end oc friendship. I couldn’t believe *I* was getting scolded for his bad behavior.
But he didn’t think it was bad. Amazing
.
WOW Expensive Shopping trip, may listening to kids should be considered
The teenager showed maturity while the parents dropped the ball..and I think the parents tried to put blame on Cruise ship and teenager
If their son had waited for them they would have had to pay for a third plane ticket
I am pretty sure it was a daughter, not a son.
The parents are totally irresponsible. The teen is the only intelligent member in that family.
That'll make one great back to school essay in September.... What did you do over there summer 🤣🤣🤣
I am glad the teenager made it back on board. Too bad the parents couldn't listen to their child. Hopefully, the overboard and slip and fall passengers will be ok
I love it, The parents are at fault. Sounds like the teenager is more responsible than the parents!!!!!
That is one smart kid!
Sorry I have no sympathy for anyone that can’t get back to the ship on time. Unless there is a medical emergency or wreck but otherwise no excuse.
Everyone else gets back on time, these same people are late to appointments, work, shows, school etc and always have an excuse. Guess they learned they aren’t as special as they thought because they got left.
Aussie is loosing cruise ship capacity so is New Zealand
On the plus side for the teenager ---- they can have a great time without the parents around 😂
So... the parents miss the all aboard time, the ship sails, and they blame... their teenager. The one responsible enough to get to the ship ON TIME.
Raise your hand if you think a ship's captain is going to delay departure because a teenager asks them to? Nobody?
Yay for teenager!!! I would like to buy them the upgraded beverage package (age appropriate of course).
Appreciate the reminder about purchasing travel insurance. With the price of everything going up it just makes sense to ensure you are protected. Parents learned an expensive lesson. Glad they, at least, got back on board with their child.
this teen rocks
Please stop spreading misinformation about Australia. First of all Virgin had a very successful season here and the reason for the cancellation of the next season was due to the trouble in the Middle East. 2. The tax increase by ports was like $2 per passenger. USA ports have also increased their taxes too but where is the reporting? 3. Yes produce can cost more, however the average income is higher in Australia, so the cruise lines., are changing us more. The UK it is expensive too. Australia is so far away from the rest of the world and that alone contributes to the issues.
The story about the Teenager, in the majority of the world 18 is an adult, no kid.😮
Well said. People are too ready to uncritically believe whatever the cruise company tells them.
My friend had fallen on her first cruise and broke her wrist because she didn't see a step down to the bathroom. She stayed on the cruise but cruise line didn't charge her for the visit to their emergency room because there was no sign saying watch your step. Newer ships don't seem to have those issues. Be careful out there.
Hi Don, not sure about P&O Australia being around for 90+ years, maybe wrong but we cruised in 1985 on the only cruise ship in Australia which was the Fabulous Fairstar & at that time it was still registered to Sitmar cruise lines. Love your information every day & always look forward to your daily videos, kept us going especially through covid. As Australians we are very disappointed with what is happening to the cruise industry in Australia & the Pacific Islands. Unfortunately all of this is making cruising very cost prohibitive for Aussies as we now have to add an international airfare, so sad
Many are not happy here in Australia about the cruise lines not coming here as much. It's not easy to get to other places to go on a cruise and cruising is becoming increasingly popular here.
I feel like this story should spur a go-fund-me for the teenager so they can get funds to move out and away from their ridiculously irresponsible parents. I had parents like this that made me late / miss almost every school function and it was HELL I moved out at 17 and QoL impoved 100 fold.
I'd have done the same as that teenager did. I have a phobia about being late for anything with a set time and I've arrived at venues alone when my ride was unreliable.
I went up the hill on the lift at Icy Strait Point with a woman and her kids. She was under the impression that her boat wouldn't leave anyone. She was certain about it. I hope she didn't learn otherwise.
I’m sure Australia is interesting but it seems the government has raised taxes close to 8% with more increases in July of 2024 according to the OECD.
LMAO this is totally crazy but hats off to the teenager, that use common sense and got back on board we he was suppose to be and shame on the parents for not listening to the teenager.
Lucky teenager had the cabin to his/ herself😊
I wonder if the parents carried their passports when they went ashore.
as for the slipping on wet decks. I discovered that a pair of shoes that are good on one wet deck my not be good on another deck or part of it as there are several different materials used. Don't ask how I know
It seems to me that the cruiselines operating in Australia are setting their customers up for huge rate hikes because demand is higher than supply.
smart teen and hope the parents learn something from this event. great video
At least this isn't as bad as the news stories where parents go on vacations leaving their babies at home
I’m glad the teen got back on the ship in time and shame on the parents for getting angry at the teen. Hopefully the rest of the cruise went well.
This is one time that the child should be in charge.
I think the teenager was more responsible than the parents
I think the people who follow cruising on RUclips are not only at an advantage, they're living in a different world. If a person, just out of the blue, decided to take a cruise with doing no research, would be totally in the dark about what to expect. And even after boarding there would still be a huge learning curve.
Instead of making people watch the safety video 15 times, they should require 100 hours of youtube cruise videos.
Well done to the teenager for doing the right thing. Shame on the parents
The parents aren't alone. Those parents are growing in numbers ⚓️
Haha. Funny story! Good for the teenager! He/she will always have a story to tell. 😂
These parents think the Cruiseline owes them something
On a cruise with some savvy Aussies who made it clear that the P&O ships were ancient and unpleasant to travel on. Good riddance they said.
And we're booked on an Australian cruise mid-2025 which is a NEW itinerary for the line...and they've added to their classic Kimberley itinerary. I know...apples and oranges comparing large to small ships. But perhaps the Australian government is trying to make a point about the negatives of large ships for their country..
Ship departure times are dictated by nautical limitations like tide schedules. They can’t just wait for people who show up late. Props to the teenager.
Sorry, parents. You're responsible for making it back on time.
I'm so happy for the young man teaching his ignorant parents a valuable lesson!! Isn't that supposed to be the other way around??!! LOL!!
Come on Don you say you read the comments. PLEASE SHORTEN THE INTRO there is NO reason for a 18 1/2 sec intro. Please make it like just Don intro. We are subscribers. We know who I are. PLEASE.
People/Parents need to wake the heck up!! Plan your day/evening for these excursions that you want to do!! Set a watch or a phone to THE SHIP'S TIME as most times they run a tad different. And plan & remember your on ship's time, so you don't get left behind!! I mean how freaking hard is that?? I know things happen, but STUPIDITY is NO EXCUSE!!
The teen obviously followed FB and RUclips on cruising and therefore knew about consequences of getting back to the ship late.
Just got off MSc 5 medical emergency one person was medivac off we arrived 5 hours late 2 ports
Clearly the parents should be held accountable for getting back on the cruise ship by the time that they were supposed to so clearly the teen should not be blamed for their parents getting left behind
I had a fall in Boston and badly sprained my ankle. Visited ER room and got back to the ship in time. Got all our expenses back thanks to travel insurance.
Don that's amazing that the parents were so irresponsible. I couldn't leave the ship with my kids on it and they're nearly adults!!!
What did they think the teenager was going to do, chain herself to the gangway? You are Responsible for getting back on board on TIME
Yes insurance is a must yearly plans are a good choice if you cruise more than once a year.
This is the 3rd time I heard about the parents and the teenager (J & Tony. The teenager was definitely more responsible!
Lucky for the parents that the teen went back. Would have cost them more to fly three people to next port. But story has holes in it without knowing the age. Would a cruise ship sail say if this teen was 13? They should be able to tell that a child was on board but parents weren’t? Did the teen even report that their parents were not on board? If it was an older teen say 16-19 they probably had a blast with no parents.
Always have travel Insurance
Melbourne as hile the cruise taxe and as not done any infrastructure improvements since their there. So list cruise line is leaving Melbourne
P&O was so bad in Australia they had to go. Make way for slots in Sydney for better lines.
Shame on the parents for blaming their kid when they are responsible for their own actions
The teenager was brilliant. She must have attended a private school.
Kudos to the son. The son was correct! The parents deserve to
have to pay to meet them at the next port. Let's face it people, the ship is on a schedule and doesn't want to pay late fees for overtime in the port. You're late and it becomes like dominos, effecting many others.
Always get insurance. It only takes one incident to financially ruin people for years.
Yes good teenager I would of just said u buy 1 thing in the beginning & no more shopping after that then u head back buy early so u can enjoy your day then when it’s time to go back you just head back no issues wa la all is good
Hi Don, what travel insurance company do you recommend?
Seems like the teenager has grown up with some good life skills despite receiving poor parenting.
The parents didn't listen to their teenage child. Yet they were expecting someone else to listen to their child. AND they are mad at their child as jt is their childs fault that the captain didn't listen to what that teenager said. 😮
You need to mention that in some countries you don't get health care until you pay for it ahead of time. Americans aren't aware of that.
The teenager got a kitchen pass for a night, maybe two. Not sure of the itinerary though.
Good for the teenager! The parents are clueless. The teenager is more mature than the parents. for them to blame the teenager borders on abuse
Wonder how those parent’s managed to not miss their flight to catch up with the ship!
Sounds like the parents need a watch. Not sure why this is newsworthy.
The teens saved the parents a plane ticket and the parents should have think that the teen for saving the money
I laughed and laughed the parents blaming the kid. 😅
Was this a REAL incident or just made up to get a point across?
Our prayers go out to the man who went overboard and the passenger who fell. Hopefully they are alright. That teenager was smart and did the right thing. Gratefully the parents got to the next port in time and was aloud to board.
The parents should take their responsibility.
most medical atenttion is free or verry cheap in portugal
The teenager watched RUclips the parents didn't!
I agree the teen is more responsible than the parents.
Ha ha ha if I was left by the ship, my teen would never let me forget it .
The teenager tried to tell them, but they didn’t want to listen.
Disney still goes to Australia
Way too expensive for most people
Your intro with your gaping open mouth is hilarious
The kid’s never going to let them live this one down for sure
Unfortunately, it sounds more like the parents are going to brow beat the teen with it as Don said they are blaming him and giving him a hard time. 🫤 I hope they hear about all these vlogs and read the comments!
I’d throw subliminal jabs at them for the rest of their lives if I was the kid
What does the t-shirt say…. It’s not a bad….?
Very interesting video! Thanks
