My friend played in a cruise ship band. He called me one day and asked me if I wanted to come play drums on the ship, because the drummer was fired and kicked off the ship. I asked what he did, and apparently he played a drum roll as the ship hit rough water, and a woman in a wheelchair was sent rolling towards a wall. When she hit the wall screaming, the drummer hit a crash cymbal right on time, and the rest is history.

I've been in a wheelchair a few times and would have laughed my a$$ off if I was the one in the chair.
that was funny--i think you made it up
Nope, absolutely true. @@dethray1000
Unfortunately, being on a cruise doesn’t all of a sudden change people. When people are negligent parents, abusive drunks, etc. on land, so they are at sea. That’s why ships have brigs.
In an episode of Andy Griffith years ago, A character asked him why a town like Mayberry had a police department. He answered, “Well Mayberry have people now, don’t it?” Those acts that can get you thrown off the ship they can get you arrested in most other places, too.
Great point
I would bet that 80% of the time when the passenger is bad enough to be booted, alcohol is involved.
I just conducted a thorough survey in my head, and the correct number is 96.2%.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
It’s MUCH higher than 80%!
And the other percentage is out of control kids
@@susancook1448 The cruises I went on had arcades. There were a few roaming packs of kids but most of them were playing video games when they weren't eating and sleeping.
Years ago, I was sailing on the Carnival Celebration. A young man was drunk, obnoxious & hitting crew members. He was handcuffed, and escorted to the cruise line's jail, down in the bowels of the ship. When we got to New Orleans, he was escorted off the ship to find his own way home. Sadly, his uncle had paid for the cruise for himself & his 4 nephews. The rest stayed on board but, the uncle lost his money on that one nephew.
Maybe that was what the uncle was hoping would happen...
@@anothersquid The uncle paid for that nephew to come on the cruise so, I don't think he expected what ended up happening.
@@budderkupp1282 not really that expensive to teach an important life lesson.
He learned a lesson in life, and no amount of money could give you. Haha
I was at Guest Services because my room key wasn’t working when a security person with a tight hold on a teen boy’s arm walked up. He whispered something to the desk person then took the boy into the corridor behind the desk. As they walked I heard him say to the kid “Just because you’re on a cruise ship doesn’t mean you can do that.” I’ll always wonder what the boy did.
I would guess underage drinking. If it was something violent, they'd have restrained the kid.
Maybe he threw something off the ship to watch it hit the water. We all did that from bridges, a ship would be even better. Haha@@chuckoneill2023
Probably j/o in the pool. I was a teenage boy once too.
@@aquatarkus2022 🤣
maybe his peed overboard.
I was on RCL Allure or Harmony, can't remember, but in the middle of the night we started feeling the engines turning. Went on balcony and there was a Carnival ship close by circling with us. A man on our ship got in a argument with his wife and said he was going to jump and disappeared from their cabin. When he didn't return for several hours, she reported this to the security and they stopped the ship. They later found him hiding behind something the next morning, so they were kicked off in Cozumel as I recall.
Hiding behind something…….😂😂😂
How very vague.
You don't remember the name of a ship you were aboard?
No I don't. I have been on both several times as well as other RCL ships. But what I do remember besides that, was they had to airlift someone off of Labadee by helicopter. On the way to Mexico is when this incident happened. After that, someone broke a leg when we were in Mexico which they had to deal with. I Was on the elevator with the captain and his staff on the last day, and they were saying it was one cruise they never wanted to repeat. @@strfltcmnd.9925
It was the Allure for certain as we were on this cruise as well! We kept hearing “Code Oscar” being called in the middle of the night. I was told that when they found the male passenger, he was arrested and then kicked off in Cozumel! Apparently, he had been telling his wife that he was going to commit suicide. When she couldn’t find him, she assumed he had jumped. How selfish and inconsiderate of others!!!
Wonder if they're still together? 😂😂😂
Was on Symphony last September and watched a man try to fight the Guest Services staff. Allegedly a crew member had said something racist to him, he filed a report earlier in the day, and wanted to see the report but Guest Services wouldn't let him. He then proceeded to attempt to verbally assault multiple of the staff members before the manager came out, and he attempted to physically assault him. Honestly it was allowed to go on way too long (about 45 minutes) and the man was screaming all sorts of obscenities in the middle of the Promenade. Security finally escorted him away while the man was yelling "I ain't afraid of the Brig!"
We saw him and his family being escorted down the pier with all of their luggage the next day in St. Thomas.
Something tells me no one said anything racist to him based on the behavior you described.
Do cruise ships actually have a brig? I'd never thought about it, but I guess if you've got 5K people on board - there's bound to be some troublemakers.
@@blurayauthorityYes, it has a locked holding area.
@@blurayauthority They do have a brig, and a mortuary.
@@blurayauthorityYes, they have brigs. I learned that from @EmmaCruises
I've been on several cruises which someone was put off the ship. One case was an unfortunate domestic violence case when the male member severely beat the female member. He was taken off the ship by the police and she went on an ambulance, I believe this was in Miami. The second situation was a family group of probably ten members. They were constantly arguing and in general causing problems on the ship. The bunch of them got into a family altercation which took 10 crew/staff to get under control. The next morning the entire family was standing on the dock with their luggage as we sailed off into the sunset. As I remember passengers on the pool deck were applauding as we sailed off. I actually feel the cruise line is very lenient with the enforcement of the rules and regulations.
Bill
“The next morning… we sailed off into the sunset.” 🌅 🧐😝
@@BrianRP1209 The ship was now a bit lighter and outpacing the international date line or something.
Should bring back keelhauling for these people .....
@@BrianRP1209 Looks like family on the dock was lucky ones :)
My last cruise my friend got put on room arrest and she was told a couple just got taken off
On a cruise to Cozumel and a couple other places a 17 year old was caught stealing money from another passenger, zero tolerance,he was kicked off at one Mexican port with limited flight to home, it happen on out deck and heard the mother pleading with an officer but off he went and tge mother went with him.
People who throw trash overboard and into the water should be kicked off the ship, fined a ton of money and banned for life from cruising.
How about a fine which throw a passenger onto the sea?
They're not going to do that 😅
😂 tell us how you really feel
@@briankeller9848 he sounds a little enraged 🤣
But the ships do it!
My daughter, husband and I were on a cruise that was a scary situation but not us. University party time, one girl jumped off the upper railing and taken off at next port to medivac back to USA as broken hips, TV's going over board, drunks sleeping in the halls. Long of it they were locked in there rooms, taken off back in USA with lots of police autos to take them off, a few ambulances for others. It was a back to back and the start of the next week the rules were explained, limit on drinks, purchase to give to minors was auto lock up. The second week was better and more security on the ship.
That sounds awful. I can't get my mind around why anyone would pay to get on one of those floating petri dishes
Hi Matt, not sure if you remember, but you were on Harmony with us in 2021 and there was a passenger who was kicked off with his entire family. We encountered him at Wonderland and he was screaming at the bar tender for not making his drink right. His wife was trying to calm him down. I heard from other passengers that he was being abusive to his wife in port (I think it was St. Kitts) and the local authorities got involved. They kicked the whole family off which was about 5-6 people.
I hope the wife left him and got the kids
@@queenfan45nah, those low self esteem type wives just keep going back.
😮
“But, we’re in the middle of the ocean!”
Now he can really get abusive to his wife for ruining his vacation :(
I've never been on a cruise where someone has been kicked off. However I have seen where different crew have come out to talk to people because they were a bit overserved & were able to handle it before it gout out of hand. Also I'll just add that people need to realize when they are going out of the country or away from their home you have to have a when in Rome philosophy. I spent six years in the military (two of which were in the Navy) & everytime we went to a different country we had to emphasize this because we were told that if you break the law in whatever country we were in you could get left behind.
It's the Navy. Who wants to be with toxic leaders. The navy can leave me in Antarctica ill he happy.
There is a movie line that I have always liked, and seems highly appropriate here - "We expect you to be stupid. Don't abuse the privilege."
Great bumper sticker from the 90s!
It's gotta be tough enforcing the out of control children rule, I see them everywhere, parents letting them run riot with no intervention.
That was a HUGE problem for me.
I have not seen much of that on RCI ships. The parents are worse, in most cases.
Love children vacationing on Royal Caribbean, BUT there is clearly a problem with children
not being under control by the parents.
Love kids, work at a children's hospital, but on vacation I want a break from them. My bday was this summer but to avoid kids I booked a cruise for Oct since I THOUGHT they'd be in school. I joined a fb group for my cruise and saw that A LOT of kids will be going. I understand homeschooling and tracks BUT I'm sure parents are pulling kids out of school to go cruising. I think that's wrong.
@@thefox47545 you could just do an adults only vacation....
I think it was a Holland America, but there was someone in a bar trying to impress people by doing Vodka shots then spraying it out of his mouth and ignighting it to make it look like he was "breathing fire." He almost immediately had crew show up and take him away from the bar, and we saw him (and his travel companion) at the end of the dock with all of their luggage the next day. Cruise lines do *not* like people playing with fire.
As a former seaman i can say FIRE is our biggest fear PERIOD
you will notice on any merchant vessel a huge NO SMOKING on the accommodation
I suspect the mere possession of a lighter or matches would have gotten him in trouble, though not to this extent. Idiot.
@@philiprice7875 As a landlubber, it's no different on land, you know. You think I want someone spraying and lighting up vodka in my home? With all wooden furniture and flood inside?
That guy was lucky to be standing by himself on the dock, and not finding himself in prison, if you ask me.
@@philiprice7875 I will admit to setting a shot glass on fire before drinking it. The idea is to down it in a shot, no sipping. But spraying fire?
Anyway, we did not do this on a ship.
Fool
My wife and I just finished dinner and went to the Comedy Club and sat down. I got up and told my wife I would be back in a few minutes. While walking down the hall this attractive young lady walked up to me and said "If you buy me a drink we can go back to my room!" I replied "I don't think so." She replied back "Don't you find me pretty?" I said "I'm actually married to an intellectual!" and walked away. 20 minutes later she walked into the comedy club and interrupted the comedian. Excuse me!!! I want to let everyone know they confiscated my liquor before I came aboard!!!" The comedian replied "Well you seem to have found some more!" 2 minutes later security escorted her out of the comedy club and I didn't see her for the rest of the cruise!
I’ve never heard anyone retort “I’m married to an intellectual” to an attempt at seduction. First time for everything I guess!
@@evanwilliams8627 I was trying to insult the young lady. By telling her in no certain terms she was not very bright for trying to pickup a stranger. 😀
@@evanwilliams8627 possibly a prostitute.
I think it went over her head!
Just went on our very first Royal Caribbean cruise and it was amazing. We didn’t see anyone get kicked off the ship but we did see a family get kicked off the pool deck because of the behavior of their kids and their small child had been left alone in a larger pool and had messed his diapers which the parents didn’t change, and just put him in another pool.
How gross! They should have been kicked off! They caused a biohazard!
Absolutely nothing more disgusting. Should never have happened. Yuck this is why we never get in the pool.kick them off!!!
I dream of having uncontrolled diarrhea in the pool
@@GingerPorter-u3d Medical Laboratory Scientist here - LOL! Biohazard ! IKR !
And this is why I am I would never take a cruise that was not adults only. I fucking hate crotch goblins…. And generally they have shitty parents to come right along with them.
⭐️LIST BEGINS @2:43 for those interested in skipping through the content chatter…🤷🏼♀️
Yea overly long intro
I seen this comment way to late
That Australian Cruise that removed 26 people from one family group for fighting. That was good
I was Chief of Security with RCI, usually it depends on the type of cruise as to whether there are issues with passengers. The longer the cruise the less likely the trouble. I did three years of 3/4 night cruises and pax being kicked off was quite a regular occurrence.
Would love to connect with you for a follow up post about your experience. You can email me matt at royalcaribbeanblog.com
@@RoyalCaribbeanBlog Would be delighted, however, haven't worked for RCI since 2006 so not sure how up to date anything I say could be.
Why were the short cruises more trouble? Was it because they were cheaper and attracted a lower class of clientele?
@@kenofken9458 Very much so but they were good earners for the cruise line. I was told by the company financial dept that the ship I was on was making nearly $1 million a week clear profit and, of course, the casino which was a franchise that rented ships space from RCI was making even more a week.
@@mikestrohm3271 I think having some story you are allow to tell would still be cool!
Two years ago, on Adventure we (wife and I) were at the late night disco after 1 am. Two obviously drunk young ladies were there and three not so drunk hound dogs were trying to pick them up. The girls said no, repeatedly …. After a few minutes, The Royal security guys made themselves shown and made sure there was no sexual assault or rape. They stayed and escorted the girls to their room. Safe and sound. Always wondered IF that was a Royal policy or IF the security guys on board took action as they saw it was needed.
I'll bet there was video AND audio being recorded in that bar, and the security staff probably eavesdropped on the conversations. After about 2 seconds, they knew what the hound dogs were up to and they knew that the girls weren't on the same wavelength.
So the basic rule is don't be an idiot! Seems simple enough but unfortunately not for everyone. 38 days to my next Royal cruise. Looking forward to it.
Don't be an idiot, yes. But I also want to add this: I've noticed that just since Covid, Americans have developed a penchant for cussing worse than any sailor. Just being a pottymouth in a foreign country or on a foreign-flagged ship can set you up for .. ahem, misunderstandings. Misunderstandings that could land you in the brig (if you're lucky). Word to the wise: Put a lid on your "Effs". I also heard a dude using the "N-word" prolifically at a pizza place. That can get your tires booted in a foreign place too. Regardless of your skin color.
We brought an ice tea gallon jug filled with whiskey and it somehow spilled all in my suitcase. To my surprise our cabin steward put the half empty bottle on the dresser, got us a bucket of ice and sodas, and when we saw him for the first time he offered to wash all my clothes that smelled like whiskey. Needless to say he received a large tip the day we disembarked.
Was just on a RC cruise and watched a dude almost get into a fight with the casino pit boss and another passenger over a 2 dollar bet, it was pretty funny to witness. They de-escalated it and banned the guy from the casino, but he stayed on the ship. Hope they fined him.
I'll never understand this behaviour. If I went on a cruise, it would be to relax and unwind. No screaming children, no drunks, no casinos. Why is it that some people need to be constantly entertained with the same shit they can get on land?
@@MarkoVukovic0 They only way I would ever cruise is if its seniors only and/or alcohol free. No ifs, ands, or buts.
@@Patrick-kt5mc absolutely agree! These cruise ships look like expensive, chintzy floating theme parks.
My friend learned the hard way in 2019. Balcony is "public space", if your neighbor snoops and sees two people having fun. The couple will be the only ones in trouble.
I have been on a couple of cruises where we saw families escorted of the ship. Once was in Nassau. That time it was due to their teenage kids.
There's a clip on YT somewhere that shows the ship's officers standing outside of someone's room. Those passengers had apparently been late on every single outing and perhaps something else, but the entire family (2 adults 2 kids) were put off the ship at whatever location they were at the time.
We're not talking about being 20 minutes late. They were late by hours.
I cannot abide tardiness and would have left THEM wherever they were sight-seeing, and resumed the cruise because "respect" for the other 999...
1. Port/Dock fees are significant. Overstaying the ships time slot really isn't an option.
2. Someone else is coming and wanting to pull into that dock space. You need to be gone!
3. The ship needs to be on its way to its next port of call. The schedule will be adhered to.
We are currently on the Harmony. I heard that someone was kicked off the ship in Cozumel or Costa Maya for throwing a table off the balcony into the sea... the guy probably had a few too many cocktails... serves him right...
He should be banned from that cruise line for life. But there's a funny side too. What will our descendants think, hundreds of years from today, when some deep sea diver finds a damned TABLE at the bottom off the coast of Cozumel, with no other clues around? "We found a table a hundred miles out! That's all; just a table...no chairs, no dishes, no dinner settings, nothing but a table!" Cruise ships might not be a thing a couple of centuries hence, so it may not be unreasonable, right? Gen Z doesn't even know that houses used to have telephones ON THE WALL in the kitchen, and that was only 20 years ago, lol!
First cruise I went on had 2 men put ashore. They were at the same dinner table as my friends & I. After the 2nd day we found out they’d been left in Nassau b/c they were being very aggressive towards women in the nightclub.
2:43 *ACTUALLY GETS TO THE POINT **_NOW_*
Absolutely! Just because "didn't know" doesn't mean you should not be held accountable.
You should do a video of "things that are in your cruise contact that you didn't read"
+1 for this idea!
On the Explorer of the seas in 2003 we were docked in St Thomas when a drunk passenger had a fight with his wife in their cabin on deck 7 when he ran to the balcony and jumped off into the water. Needles to say once he was safely retreived they were All removed from the ship for the remainder of the cruise. I was a crew member and on a different occasion, in fact on the first day I ever joined the ship 2002, the guy who's room I moved into had his cabinmate removed because he had been caught sneaking into a passenger cabin with an 18 year old girl. The guy was a barwaiter and the passenger was only 18 and the Phillipino security saw him on the security footage and the company reacted swiftly by arresting and then getting rid of him. The FBI came to the port in Miami to pick him up.
*Needless
The FBI wouldn’t of got involved with him for sleeping with a passenger that was of age.😂😂😂
@@frankiethefrog1752Yeah, I was gonna say.. theres no way the feds come for a guy having consensual sex with another adult.. if that was a matter dealt with by the FBI there'd be no time to
spy on aliens
@@frankiethefrog1752 oh yeah he was removed by US border custody and deport him to home...The sexual consent is consider a crime awhile employee members of the ship...they can get an room during off the ships....
To sum it up: Don't be a jerk. That can avoid many problems.
2 min and 44 seconds in, we start to hear the things we came to hear. Thank you for coming through. I was worried.
It is the old 1% of people cause 99% of problems rule. The people who get kicked off ships probably get kicked out of sports stadiums, concerts, Disneyland etc etc.
What are you talking about? The old 1% of people are the troublemakers? Damn, and all this time, they keep telling us it's the young whippersnappers to be on the lookout for!
Have seen the Coast Guard, Dogs and armed Police outside ship in San Juan when we had a late departure. Seen a police padded wagon pull up to the Gateway. We were going shopping and to dine out. Guests said they had taken several people off for illegal Drugs. A dog had sniffed their luggage .
The scent of weed is impossible to contain.. If you're not smart enough to leave it at home, or find edibles on stops, and eat them right before embarking, then you should not be surprised to get booted. Now, imo, prescription drugs are the way to go when traveling.
I was so drunk on one cruise with Princess to Alaska. Surprised they didn't kick me off. I've changed my ways since that time and regret my behavior. I would consider doing a cruise again someday.
Good post😅.
Hey, if you can hold it, you are just enjoying yourself. No problem.
It's one thing to assist an apologetic drunk back to their room, and entirely another to manhandle an aggressive drunken a-hole back to their cabin.
The former is a future customer who misjudged their booze, the latter no one wants to ever see again.
In other words, show some manners, be considerate, understand you are a guest, not an entitled brat, and don't be a jerk! That's almost impossible for many people.
And teach your children to do the same.
Especially for the 24/7 cell phone holders who think the world owes them 24/7 attention!!!
That's funny! I don't smoke weed myself but my wife used to. She got a free joint from a bartender on a Royal Carribean cruise we took! 😂
Story. I got hammered, went to bed,woke up, went back to the bar, had more drinks,got approached by security, got put in a wheelchair, they rolled me to my room,put me in bed. Reason being when I woke up to go back to the bar I didn't realize I had forgotten to get dressed and was only wearing my breifs. Not proud of that but was told the next day that I was very cooperative and everybody got a good laugh out of it. Lost my cheers package for 2 days but thank goodness I wasn't kicked off the Martigras
A friends parents while visiting Alaska didn't even think twice going back to the ship with some THC infused jelly beans. They had purchased legally over the counter in port. The jelly's were seized they were sent to their cabin. The Captain and some Officers came to the cabin searched the cabin and sense they found no other contraband they were allowed to stay. It also helped that they were in their late 60's or early 70's when this happened
How did the cruise find them? Do they use dogs or something?
@@tonireacts4103 everything coming back aboard goes thru the X-ray machine and they saw them and searched the backpack , they were still in the original packaging.
This is why l have no interest in cruses... you can drink yourself sick, but get caught with a joint and its curtains.
I was just on a carnival cruise and there were people with thc “weed” vape pens “ecigs” it was not a problem for anyone. Also i had drugs on me and the drug dog did not stop me.
Marijuana legal in Washington, Alaska and Canada. Makes no sense that it’s illegal on the ship
An Australian cruise line says most cruise line violations happen, because someone's drunk. And I have to believe them.
I was recently on a HAL ship and in a port in Iceland. An autistic male was with his mother on a cruise. He unfortunately had a meltdown at the buffet restaurant and attacked crew members. He and his mother were disembarked from the ship and I understand he was taken to hospital.
I was recently on Jewel of the Seas. The most recent and benign variant of C-19 spread throughout the ship. Mild symptoms, most people wouldn’t have thought it was COVID.
My extended family came back from a Holland America cruise to AK about three weeks ago and all five got covid. This included our 97 year old uncle! But they had mild cases and are ok.
We are going on another line next week so we are going to be careful just fingers crossed we are well on the cruise
COVID is doing rounds just fine right now
In other words, they caught a cold. Well it is cold and flu season boys and girls.
My little brother didn't get kicked off, but one night he got a little too drunk (he tends to try to do backflips) and they made him stay in the room for the last day!
We saw several guys who had been sitting beside us in the dining room kicked off the ship in Nassau when they caused trouble over at the Atlantis. So it's not just things done on the ship.
...that would have been because of the shore excursion they purchased from the line; the lines' rules as well as the resorts' rules apply.
Good to know there is accountability for actions.
I can't think of anything worse than being kicked off of a cruise - must be a nightmare being left in port (even if entirely deserved, ha!)
A word of advice, Booking a same day flight from wherever you are, to wherever you have to get to, is very expensive. Behave and be safe.
Especially considering that your passports are safely locked up in the safe in your cabin.
@@Fred2-123Wouldn't passengers have their passports with them?
@@michaeledwards1172 Not usually. At most ports they tell you to carry a driver's license, not passport. Some ports (Barcelona, Rome) don't take anything that you would not like to be pickpocketed.
Couldn't you just spend 2 to 4 days at the airport
@@tcbobb1613 Mine was a medical issue that required immediate return to the States. Cruise staff was great, but the flight cost was close to double than if I booked in advance.
No diving from the ship into the ocean. That will get you banned for life.
"That will get you banned for life."
or 20 mins whatever is longer
and if no one sees you there are some critters called "sharks" who would like to "meat you" (pun intended)
Unless they don't find you then you are just dead, but not banned.
The no fraternization rule is interesting. When I was young I went on several cruises in the late '80s and early '90s and had dates (but no more) with crew members, a gift shop girl on one cruise for lunch and a whole day excursion with the female ship's doctor and couple she knew from college on another. I even had (on a Royal Carribian cruise BTW) a female crew member make it very obvious she was interested but sadly that cruise I had my mother along so nothing came of it. I guess since then cruise lines have cracked down but back in those "Love Boat" days what happened on the tv show wasn't that far from reality.
My son works on a ship and the “fraternization” rule is real. Crew that get caught get sent home and possibly not offered further contracts. That does not include friendships with guests. He has contact with several cruise “regulars” by email and when they are coming aboard they let him know. It has happened that when the ship is in their home port (when they are not guests) he has been invited out for lunch and shown the town. This is always communicated with his supervisors.
It's my impression that cruise ship employees in general have damn little true down time and most don't even have duties that would bring them into social contact with guests.
@@kenofken9458 Certainly true of the non-entertainment staff but all my dates in the “90s involved employees that interacted directly with passengers like working in the gift shop, being the cruise director, ships doctor or a member of the entertainment for the week. The only cases I heard of non-entertainment staff getting involved with passengers involved the top-level ships officers. So pretty much exactly as The Love Boat portrayed at the time.
Nothing on the Love Boat was even remotely close to any reality, much like your comment.
@@humboldtharry1289 Say what you will but I had many dates with crew members on my cruises in the '80s and '90s (and with fellow passengers too of course) so at least as that part goes it wasn't representing something that didn't happen. I heard lots of stories about the things that went on, especially with the officers but I didn't witness anything first-hand.
My husband and I went on 2 cruises, and I never even looked at the rules because it never even occurred to me. And I’m sure that my husband didn’t either. We both thoroughly enjoyed both of our trips even though we learned that I have a problem with sea sickness that nothing seems to help with 🙄 which was really frustrating for both of us during our day at sea on each trip, and there’s nothing anyone can do about that. 🤷🏻♀️
I get severe motion sickness (I can't even scroll through data or play video games.) Only way I took a cruise was the transderm Scopalimine patch, which you put on 3 days before traveling, then a fresh one, and it worked. You are right, once you're on the Nausea Train, no stopping it
@@JackieSkellingtonThat's what I've used for years. Otherwise I'd never be able to go anywhere.
an easy solution to sea sickness is to go with the movement of the ship - not against it. that's what upsets your stomach. and ginger for an upset stomach. ginger ale works too, in a pinch.
I can't even set foot on a boat, let alone a cruise ship. Intractable sea sickness that only medical treatment fixes unfortunately. Oh well
I was on a Caribbean cruise once when the children of a family threw deck chairs into the pool. The family was summarily escorted off the ship at the next port.
I had the opportunity to speak with the director of security on a RC ship. The security officers must have 5 years of military police or special forces experience to apply. The cruise line is in daily contact with the FBI (at least on United States Home Ports) on threats around the world that may effect the safety of the ship or persons who may be with those groups on board or planning to be on a future cruise.. He showed me the special red card that if inserted into a guest cabin lock, it will prevent the door from being opened from the inside and will delete all other keys, including the master key. The only way to restore normal lock function is two red keys of different security personnel and the captain's card to be inserted within 30 seconds from the first card insert. For safety reasons an officer stands outside the cabin 24/7 or as long as the door is locked to open the door if they need to go to the lifeboats in an emergency. For minor crimes sometime local police at the next port are called to detain in that country for trial and jail at the recommendation of the FBI.
I hope it is not trial and jail at the recommendation of FBI, but calling local police :)
@@dmitripogosian5084 - Most cruise ships are not flagged US. So misbehaving passengers may not at all times be able to expect treatment under US Constitutional law, or with US rights...but instead, under the law of the ship's flag. I'll have to read up on that, but I don't think you necessarily "always" have the right to, for example, a speedy trial of your peers.
Was on a Viking cruise. While waiting to see someone at the excursion desk early in the morning, I was seated next to a couple of young guys who had theirs bags with them. Turns out that they were crew members being disembarked once the ship was cleared by local authorities. From what I gathered, they had gotten into a very heated argument with a guest in the buffet the previous night. They were being dropped in port and had to find their own way home.
Interesting 🤔
I've never been on a cruise, but if I could I'd only go on Viking.
Ban all smokers that toss their cigarettes in the ocean.
Why?
@@AttorneyBCollinsBecause no one smokes unfiltered cigarettes.
My one cruise, trip of a lifetime, 2010 over Christmas. On RC Navigator of the Seas, to the Bahamas and Jamaica, and it was perfect. Thanks Ziggy, especially my towel animals! (My stateroom attendant.)
Hint for MJ: just bring a cartridge and don't stand around blatantly hitting it. Better hint: take the tolerance break.
Didn’t know that about ‘no fraternization with crew. Decades ago I had a chance to sail aboard a liner as an engineer. Took a different freighter instead, but always wondered what I missed. Always had the idea of a possible shipboard romance. : )
That rule never seemed to bother Captain Stuebing, Gopher and Doc on Love Boat 🤣
Keeping parents accountable for the misbehaving kids should be enforced on Royal ?
Try taking an adults only cruise, these days far to many parents don’t seem to be good at parenting!
Skip to 2:44 to actually hear what will get you kicked off a cruise ship.
These were interesting and good to know. Never been on a cruise and not really planning to. Too many things happening to ships or on board. I’ll stick to flying to my destinations and maybe cruising from island to island but that’s enough for me thanks.
Yeah cruises are pretty much just for people who go to an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant and say “I wish I never had to leave”.
There were two different couples (one across the hall and the other next door) with the drink packages. Let’s just say they over did it the 1st few nights. They had shouting matches across the hall with the other couples. 2-5am just SHOUTING. One day, the shouting stopped…no clue what happened or where they went 🤷🏾♀️
One thing about Royal Caribbean I learned: food poisoning isn't advertised but it is freely available. Just eat the lobster tails at the captains dinner and it's included
I’m impressed how you’ve made Royal Caribbean a one syllable word
Cruise ships: You can't bring marijuana with you.
Also Cruise ships: We sell alcohol.
Second hand is the problem. You actually have to drink alcohol to get drunk unlike mj.
@@tsarina24honolulu87 But what about edibles?🙂
@@tsarina24honolulu87it’s not possible to get stones from second hand smoke.😂😂😂😂😂
I used to sail Windjammer Barefoot Cruises which were small 60 to 120 passengers . They had rules about behavior too. They made it clear that if anyone was caught with drugs on board the captain would make sure you would spend time in the local island jail.
So much for my “ Love Boat” stereotype of passengers 😂
Yeah! Today I get on my first cruise! I’ve been watching LOVEBOAT to prepare. I bought a brand new wardrobe as I know I have to look perfect all the time and a handsome cruise employee will meet me at the dock and propose marriage. I can’t WAIT!
Walking a plank onto a ship doesn't magically change people.
I remember on my first cruise I was exploring the ship and ended in crew only part by accident, the crew were nice and let me know, I said sorry wasn't paying attention and walked back
Matt, on a cruise a few years ago - - actually it was so long ago it was "BC"- - - [before Covid], two passengers (I refuse to call us "guests") decided to disagree over a couple of punches. I don't mean the stuff in the punch bowl. This was an outright thrown the punches fight. I forget if it was Larry or Moe (because Curly wasn't involved in it), but one of them was locked in his stateroom with a security officer sitting in a chair immediately outside the door. This was about 4 doors from us. Being the nosey guy, I asked the officer how severe the lock up was -- - Larry or Moe could have a TV and the phone ONLY to Guest Services or to the extension for food to be delivered. So, they received 3 meals a day and TV. It was a balcony room, so they could sit in the sun. But that was it..............why ohhhh why do they do this??? (and before anyone asks - - while speed was not a factor in this situation, alcohol was.)
I love your videos! Thank you for all the information
You are so welcome!
Let be honest here. ALL final decisions on disembarkation of passengers early is made by the Risk Management Department in Miami. The Captain or any others in a position of power always follow and adhere to Head Office directives.
Maybe the rules were made by the Head Office, but if a cruise line can trust a captain to properly enforce compliance with all the complex maritime and engineering rules involved in operating a 1,000 foot ship they should trust his judgement in enforcing the rules the company wrote.
@@johnstuartsmith The captain of a ship, as well as a pilot on a plane are just employees of the company, they have much less to say then legend tells us, bad stuff have taken place on ships or on airplanes where lives have been lost and the subsequent police investigation have shown that the captain/pilot was not the one with the last word, they were simply following orders from above, orders that only catered to minimum expenses and maximum income as the overall business concept. In some cases the captain/pilot are just straw men who have no real power at all, at the end of the day a captain is just an employees who follows orders/instructions given by the company.
Cruise ships dump more pollution and waste into the water to the tune of 70 million dollars in fines. And if a serious crime has been committed, don't expect any help from the cruise line. It's extremely rare for them to "allow" investigators onto the ship.
My only problem with those liners are the large passengers. Did 20 years on aircraft carriers and they were crowded
Large passengers or large amount of passengers?
One thing that is frowned upon is throwing other passengers off the deck of the ship.
😂
One would think.
On Windjammer cruises we would jokingly come up with a list of fellow passengers who we would like to have walk the plank. ( spouses by default were on it too)
@@noodengr3three825 LOL
I got bored waiting for you to get to the point.
Me too.
Right. Rambling on and on
Zźzzzzz agree
A.I.
Just went down a RUclips shorts rabbit hole then surprised myself by coming back to this video
I was on a cruise where someone was arrested. I was on a carnival cruise in 2010 and someone tried to sneak marijuana onto the boat from our port in Jamaica. Of course they found the weed and the person was arrested and banned from carnival as well.
They don’t catch it all…
If you are banned from cruising for life, or for many years, is there any possibility of getting the ban lifted if you can show that you've grown up since and become a civilized human being, and no longer behave like a drunken lout?
As I was exiting Miami airport having arrived from London a man approached me. Do you have any alcohol in your bags, he asked? Yes I replied, I have a bottle of malt whisky. Off he went with a lecture about taking alcohol on board ship. After telling him a few home truths about customer service, I walked on to collect my hire car. I have never taken a cruise and he ensured that I never will.
Consequences to actions …wow a couple of generations can’t cruise because they don’t have any concept of this
1st time cruiser here...do you have to be jabbed for a cruise or have paperwork from being tested before boarding a cruise?
Not any more. Of course, the rules can change at any time, so pay attention and read up on the rules right before YOUR cruise.
I don't Know but Rules are like COMMON SENSE , if You have
a Feeling it AINT right ask ...Never assume!!
Liked the content - now I suggest what can happen to customers before they board a cruise - Real life examples include customers trying to get answers on very concerning questions about their own personal information being compromised then having RCCL banish them for being too demanding on answers and also cancelling their cruises. They seem to do retaliation type products quite often. We wouls love to see this as a very important post to warn cruisers.
We appreciate the video, but you wasted 2:20 minutes on a boring and unnecessary intro. 🖖🖖🖖
I worked on cruise ships for 12 years starting in the early 90s. Spring Break was always the most common time for passengers (we called them that back then) to be kicked off the ship.. I don't remember one spring break cruise where we came back with as many passengers as we stated with. There were always a handful who got removed in the middle. Usually for drunken behavior. I remember one guy who thought it might be fun. to jump off the top deck into the water while we were anchored at Grand Cayman. Unfortunately, the Staff Captain was standing there as the guy jumped and he ran so fast I think he beat the kid to the water. He spent the night confined in his cabin and was sent home in Jamaica or whatever our next port was.
0:36 "There are consequences to your actions" ... **Americans have left the chat**
😂
Can’t kick me off on a sea day!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂
Stealing/shoplifting from a ships store, drunken bad behavior, verbally abusing (Karen) others, and of course regular criminal behavior or actions come to mind.
CBD surprised me. Thank you!
My first cruise was on RC ship and I’ll never cruise with them again!! Not only did some of the staff incessantly complain about their employer and conditions but one of the employees was passing out these mini joints on the lido deck. NEVER AGAIN
That last bit sounds awesome. Would have loved to see that.
Yeah I would be mad if they didn’t share their mini joints too. That’s lame.
@@cosmicinsane516 - "That Superstardestroyer is a TRAP!" Take one puff, and they could put you off the ship.
What are some of these ships. I went on the sapphire of the princess cruise and it was nothing compared to these that look like shopping malls
My last cruise a guy punch a guy for harassment of a female passenger however it was the harasser whom got kicked off at out first port but the puncher did get a verbal warning
I am a retired school principal. My district always approved absences for travel because travel experiences are educational and expands a child’s world view.
Wild horses attached to my nipples, will not get me onto a cruise ship. I am of the opinion of Dr Samuel Johnson, that being on a ship is akin to being in prison, but with the added chance of sinking. 😁
You don’t know what your missing .It’s like being on a floating Hotel.You have to go look for the Sea!Best experiences of my life on cruise ships ..Love Cruise holidays !
I was curious about Royal Caribbean's policy regarding perceivably dangerous 'weapons'. For most of my life, I have always carried a Leatherman multi-tool in a sheath on my belt. The tool has literally saved my life on numerous occasions, and I almost never left home without it. Now, I realized I couldn't bring it on the airplane with me (had it in my checked bag in the cargo hold), but I didn't think that Royal Caribbean would have an issue with the tool while I was on board. In 2017 while on a Caribbean cruise, I was returning from an excursion in Cozumel. While entering the ship and passing through security, the security guards were hesitant to allow me back on board with my 'weapon', and contemplated seizing it. Fortunately, more sensible heads prevailed, and an RC supervisor declared that my multi-tool was just that: a TOOL, and not a feasible weapon.
Nice to know because I have one also and I've already decided that I'm not chancing bringing it with . It was a Christmas gift so I really don't want to have it confiscated.
I've been on 2 cruises, Holland America, (great experience) and a Royal Caribbean cruise, (even better) and it has always been a great experience. Next, I might book a Carnival cruise! I've never been "reprimanded".
This article spent almost 3 minutes repeating the same thing. You can get kicked off the ship if you do these things, you can get kicked off the ship if you do these things, etc., before they even start to tell you what you shouldn't do.
It must be difficult to go through life with no patience.
Just went on a cruise the other week 13-27th anthem of the seas and someone got kicked off because their child bought vodka in gibraltar and snuck it onboard in water bottles and was giving girls it and one of them (which a hour before i talked to her before she proceeded to pass out in the hottub face down where my friends cousin had to drag her out or she would've drowned ) and they got snitched on and the boys and their family got kicked off. and later on the cruise 2 families got kicked off for fighting
For the sake of goodness work on your language skills. This entire post was barely coherent. If you speak as you write, I gaurantee most people think you are stupid.
