That's why I always only participate on on excursions organised by the 'ship'... they will wait for you or make other suitable arrangements at their cost. OK they cost more but its peace of mind...
What's heart breaking is the absolute audacity of these two women to think an entire ship should wait patiently for their late arrival. They will hopefully learn a value lesson and make sure to keep better tabs on their time management.
We have done 4 cruises so far and we have one planned for next year and the year after. Carnival makes it very clear about being on time back to the ship at ports. If you are shallow enough to make a whole ship wait for you because you can't follow rules then you deserve to be left behind.
I do tours. Depending on where I am at, I have to tell guests at least three times the times to be back. (and if there are special circumstances, maybe show up 5 or ten minutes early) People never learn. But i will tell you that 99.9 percent of guests really are amazing.
We did a ship sponsored tour of "Florence on your own" where essentially the excursion was the bus ride and a walk to the meeting place. One guy was over an hour late. The rest of us were hot and tired after a long day and were trying to convince the guide to just leave him....his wife and kids were quite upset. The guide called her company several times...seems we were the last bus to leave Florence, so they told her to wait....so 23 of us stood in the hot sun for over an hour waiting for one jerk. No problem at the ship, but so frustrating.
I watch them at nearly every port. The ones that get left behind are normally way late and you don't see them on the pier. It's an odd case to see people who miss the ship but are close enough to see on the pier.
@@sarge6870 Yes, they are certainly out there. But we were on a 7-night western Caribbean cruise and a crewmember told me we left people behind in all 3 ports before we got to their private island. I was watching at all 3 ports and didn't see anyone left on the dock, which tells me they were too late to even do the pier run.
the ship will never leave early, but they will also never leave late. if you can't make it back in time, don't leave the ship in the first place. Or, make sure you have you passport and other essentials cause you are flying to the next port.
You don't necessarily have to take your travel documents with you, but it's a good idea to put them in an easy to find place in your cabin, so the crew can locate them. They will go into your room before the ship departs and attempt to locate any items you might need to fly home, like your wallet or passport. They'll hand them off to a port representative, who will then give them to you once you return to port after the ship is gone.
We have been on 30+ cruises and seen very few pier runners. We have always been back to the ship in good time and we mostly do our own thing ratther than ship excursions. The only time weve been late was on a ships excutsion when we got held up in traffic. Of course the shipmwaited for the 40 or so who were late! Incidently, if the ship cecides to go and leave anyone the crew will gominto their cabin and getntheir passports, which thry give to the agent on shore to give to the guests, so they can then travel to the ship. The agent will also assist in arranging transport, at the gursts expense, for them.
We cut out day a little short (did not snorkel the shipwreck) because we felt we were cutting it too close. Our ship DID leave people behind that day as well. Can't wait to go back to Roatan!!
one of the few exceptions to the rule is if someone fell ill or were hurt. But the local authorities always know when the cruise ships are in town and can actually CALL the ship and let them know, and depending on the severity, the captain MAY wait for a little while, medivac them if theyre not too far out or meet them in the next port
Same with if you scheduled your shore excursion through the cruise line, and the transportation gets a flat tire or something. They'll wait then too, or ferry you out to the ship.
If every official excursion has come back on time, then the ship should have left at 3:30 sharp. No more waiting for these people. This is how you teach them a lesson about punctuality. Do you think your flight will wait for you if you are late getting to the airport or gate? Nope. If the flight is schedule to leave at 4pm and the doors are supposed to close at 3:50pm, they will close at 3:50pm whether you are there or not. Cruise lines should adopt this. Though it would put an end to these wonderful videos 🙂
I think cruise lines do follow that, but sometimes there are other factors as well. I don't think they are leaving late to wait for people, they are checking their cabin for passports, stuff like that. I take a similar approach when I drive Uber from time to time. I wait 5 minutes, and if they aren't there, I'm gone. Had many people chase me down the street. Not quite as cool as dock runners, but they're gonna learn somehow.
Some ships routinely wait 30 beyond departure time. On Princess, we left on time, without any grace period. These two women were 35 minutes LATE. Did they really expect the ship to wait on them? You can choose to be a responsible, respectful passenger, or you can choose to make your own way to the next port.
I’ve never understood these people, what are you doing that’s so much fun that you take the risk of being left behind? I’m always back on board well before departure time.
On my cruise last December, we were supposed to be back on ship by 4:15 to leave at 5. We were still able to leave about 5, but there were people walking on as late as 4:45. The rear gangway was taken off before the last of the yahoos could be bothered to shift their butts down to the docks. Some fucking arrogance, I tell ya
While it's a good idea, if you're doing an excursion where it would be inconvenient, put them in a conspicuous place in your cabin. Before the ship leaves, they should enter your cabin and look for documents or other stuff you might need, which will then get handed off to a port representative before the ship departs.
It would have had to be an independent group tour because a ship sanctioned group tour would be accommodated if it would have been late. That's why it's a tad more expensive but wiser to take the ship's tours.
Maybe they were waiting in line for the other cruise ship, but didn't realize they were all waiting in the wrong line. That's possible, the line looked really long
I have and there should be no sympathy for anyone who, due to their own negligence, are late to board a ship. Barring extenuating circumstances, be responsible and get back on time or pay the price.
Do some of you people not realize that the ship excursion maybe making them late in the ship has to wait for them, stop being so damn judgmental because you don’t know the situation you’re not down there
The cruise ship tells you 100 times to not be late! They tell you 100 hundred times to not go on an excursion that is not sponsored by the ship. The ship has to stay on schedule. Do you cruise?
If you do an excursion thru the ship they will get you back and will wait on you if something goes wrong. If you are doing something on your own you could get left behind
what, you're not allowed to bring anything to eat to the ship? not even when it's wrapped / packaged? I see the hygienic reasons, but... still consider it an overkill. here in Scandinavia, no one will stop you if you bring your own food to the ferry
I admit to getting a sick little thrill watching these just like everyone else, but you can't assume people are just brainless or inconsiderate. Things happen sometimes. And don't you think they suffered enough? The only people they're hurting are themselves.
The band, the music and the dancers are wonderful. What an experience!
yes this port was awesome!
I totally agree that was my favorite port
That's why I always only participate on on excursions organised by the 'ship'... they will wait for you or make other suitable arrangements at their cost. OK they cost more but its peace of mind...
I agree!
What's heart breaking is the absolute audacity of these two women to think an entire ship should wait patiently for their late arrival. They will hopefully learn a value lesson and make sure to keep better tabs on their time management.
they were in their own little world for sure
Set your phone and watch to Ship Time always!!!!
I liked the word audacity, but it did not apply to them. They were just late.
As if you have never been late....
They may not have learned a valuable lesson, but they certainly learned an expensive one.
LOL watching for pier runners gonna be my motivation to get back to the ship before all aboard time!
you know it. it was stressful watching it be fun too! Does that make me a bad person?

The ship waited a lot longer then I thought they would. I guess they were on island time not ship time

13 cruises and never witnessed pier runners. I miss all the good stuff!!
this was my first cruise so I was a little surprised when we witnessed it.
bolind2 there were 5 of them on our last cruise in November 2017
I watch them at nearly every port. The ones that get left behind are normally way late and you don't see them on the pier. It's an odd case to see people who miss the ship but are close enough to see on the pier.
@@JGlennFL I've watch a LOT of videos going back years of people..even families waving bye-bye to the ship!

Our cruise used Roatan, one of first to do so, after hurricane hit normal port.
None of buildings in video were there then.
I think it’s beyond rude when you’re late to stroll to the ship. Run or expect to be jeered.
the captain said multiple times to be on time! thanks for watching
the ship will never leave early, but they will also never leave late. if you can't make it back in time, don't leave the ship in the first place. Or, make sure you have you passport and other essentials cause you are flying to the next port.

@@v12tommy true
@@v12tommy thats WHY you book through the cruise liner, they have to wait for you
@@julieeverett7442 Depends. 3rd party shore excursions can be good too. You definitely pay a premium to book through the cruise line.

Looks like a fun port, if you show up on time.
time is important
pier pressure is real
so true!! haha

i know right!
I’ve never understood these people, what are you doing that’s so much fun that you take the risk of being left behind? I’m always back on board well before departure time.
agreed!
We did many cruises, the only time we were late was on a ship organised tour!
We had that on our trip to Italy. I was so aggravated. How dare you!!!!!
Does not make any sense being late unless the excursion booked with ship is late
agreed!
Let's say you were left behind on the last cruise pre-COVID, then the borders closed...
Yeah, don't miss the ship!
so true!
On my cruise last December, we were supposed to be back on ship by 4:15 to leave at 5. We were still able to leave about 5, but there were people walking on as late as 4:45.

everybody has a different clock in them. some are not so good...haha
@@bolind2wrist watches, cell phones
Never forget to take Your passport, Your mobile, Your credit card and Your money with You when you leave the ship!
got that right!!

5,000 people can get back in time......but not the Karens of the world
some people just dont get it. Its all about me!!!
Wow! I’ve never seen THAT many people late on one ship! Maybe it was a late tour group.
it was bad that day....
It would have had to be an independent group tour because a ship sanctioned group tour would be accommodated if it would have been late. That's why it's a tad more expensive but wiser to take the ship's tours.
Years ago, a ship a called the Arc left its port in a rainstorm. I can't imagine how the people that got left behind felt.
well the flood washed them away so they didn't have to suffer long
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣😂😂
😂Exactly!
Better be glad I’m not the captain I would leave you in a heartbeat. And laugh while I’m doing it.
cold!
I was taught to be 10 minutes early than ever be 1 second late.
me too!!
Brilliant advice
Lol they were 30 mins late. I don’t cruise, and even I know the cruise won’t wait for anyone.
If you're late, you get no music. We're on break 🤣
i like the way you think!
@DoBo
Did you see that too? They got back to it after the drifters. How long are they supposed to do the farewell session? Smoke break!
Maybe they were waiting in line for the other cruise ship, but didn't realize they were all waiting in the wrong line. That's possible, the line looked really long
I have and there should be no sympathy for anyone who, due to their own negligence, are late to board a ship. Barring extenuating circumstances, be responsible and get back on time or pay the price.
yes!
No excuse. Set your phones TIMER and not the alarm to alert you to the time you need to return to the ship
good idea!
Do some of you people not realize that the ship excursion maybe making them late in the ship has to wait for them, stop being so damn judgmental because you don’t know the situation you’re not down there

😂nope
It's going to cost you more than $36 to get to the next port of call. Toss the sandwich.
HOW PEOPLE REALLY BE ANGRY WITH PEOPLE NOT KNOWING THE CIRCUMSTANCES. SMH!!!!
5ooo plus people dont wait on on two people who were super late. Thats why you dont wonder off by yourelf. use the cruise line for trips.
I'd be afraid to leave the ship cuz knowing me...I'll get lost on the way back to it 🤦♀️
If you do an excursion thru the ship they will get you back and will wait on you if something goes wrong. If you are doing something on your own you could get left behind
@@bolind2 that's good to know
some time they need to left someone behind . for every 30 min late for big cruise ship cost them $10 k to make up the timing for the next port.
it would be cheaper for cruise line to leave on time and fly people to the next port
just curious, i see another long line of ppl to the "left" of your video. What are they waiting for?
they were waiting on another ship. They were catching tender ships
Imagine having to get a rental car and drive all the way back to the US from Honduras because you missed the cruise ship.
This happened one pay before Covid took off in my area. March 5, 2020.
what, you're not allowed to bring anything to eat to the ship? not even when it's wrapped / packaged? I see the hygienic reasons, but... still consider it an overkill. here in Scandinavia, no one will stop you if you bring your own food to the ferry
they could be bringing drugs on board the ship
Ferry and cruise ships are very different things
And to this day, they are still arguing with the crew member.
yep, maybe they got on the next ship
This is why everyone needs to be back on their ships by the time they are told
Ship has a schedule to go by it’s not all about you have respect for other people and crew
so true!
I prefer to just set sail and leave those people behind.
savage!
35 minutes late. Come on.
35 mins late is ridiculous.
agreed!
The problem is the Mikes and Karens on the cruises don't care. Some never learn.
It's flat out RUDE. But those kind of people are always inconveniencing others and think it's okay.
35 minutes from departure time! That is different from “Get your butt back on the Boat!” Time which they exceeded by at least an hour!
@@largol33t1 how dare you use my name in the same sentence as karens. It's ken not mike...
Rude, ignorant and entitled is a good description for all of them 🤨
expensive mistake for sure....we had a good laugh till it was real
@@bolind2 I feel bad for anyone who is elderly or has children. I don't feel bad for those who just intentionally ignore the other passengers.

oh mercy....you need therapy! haha JK. it was fun till we pulled away then it was sad
@@bolind2 Some people are downright cruel. But I imagine that's the least of your problems if you're the one watching the ship leave lol 😲
Pretty island.
So this is what you do on a cruise ? What do you do the rest of the time? Hang out in the mens room seeing who doesnt wash their hands?
mr troll. yes and yes deal with it
Aww….I think we found someone who was jeered!!! 😂🤣
Tides dont wait for anyone.
No tenders to catch
once we pulled out we were gone
Cruise liner sets bad example. The time should be the time & this wouldn't happen.
true!
Peir running could be in the Olympic games.
yes it could!
😂 leave em

Why are people sorry for stupid people?
