I agree with the muster drill!! do it, do it. AND those who take off the gratuities.

The ones that bring ammo onto the cruise ship. No one hunts with 9mm ammo, that guy lied.

Ban all Karens (anyone who complains)!

muster drill avoiders

People who get in the elevator before you get out

Preach 🙌

And usually there's a kids club too. Like if you're not going to watch them at least drop them off

Heck, anyone who lets their kids loose in a store unattended. I worked at a discount retailer, and mom brought her two toddlers with her mom and sister so they could shop. The kids were using the wheeled toys to raise around the store, almost knocking over a senior citizens. I stopped them and had to ask so many women if these were their kids. Finally found them and they yelled at the kids for their behavior. It was 9:00 at night and they should have been in bed!

Anyone who drops their kids off at the library unattended and then goes shopping.

Agree. We would love to take our grandkids but they are to young.

Or the ones that let their kids touch everything on the buffet.

On my last cruise, a lady in front of me at the buffet carelessly tossed the tongs into the food, handle & all! She should be BANNED!

To quote the philosopher, Cleveland Brown, "That's NASTY!".

I totally agree.we used to go to the dining room for lunch but it was upsetting to watch “entitled” women complaining to management about nothing! Everyone was rushing to please these people who couldn’t be pleased.

I am with you 100%!!!!! Cruise personnel work their butts off to provide a great experience for us and what they absolutely do NOT need is some jerk complaining about every little thing. Yes, we should share a complaint if it's something huge, but for little things, let it go and just enjoy yourself.

I can tell a lot about someone’s character by how they treat the wait staff. Entitled people trigger me. Ban them for life.

Children should never be in a hot tub...ever.

😂😂😂😂

Finally someone else who calls them free range lol

I'm old and I make my kids have their selves in the cabin and quiet! 😂😀😂

Put a camera in the buffet line and display on the large screen those who does these No-no's. Put a caption: Don't do that!

Or how about the people that drop the buffet serving utensils and put them back on the buffet?

I had a dream last night where I did that and i was shamed. Dreams are weird

Doug. I was on a cruise and in front of me a woman took the last sticky bun from the tray but that's not it. She then took her finger and scraped out all the gooey stuff from the tongs to put on her bun. When a new tray came out I told the crew member what happened and asked for a clean tong. Some people let me tell you.

Yes!!!

🤢

I have literally seen this happen and the lady wasn’t wearing shoes either. That was in 2019 and I wish I could forget! 🤦🏾‍♀️😅

Maybe we should have doors that only open after you wash your hands! Wonder how we could do that?

@@kayekaye251 Love it! 😂

@@pinksapphire4673It is awful isn’t it? It does happen.

Right On!!

Sorry. I am definitely sometimes one of those people who stops suddenly. Not on purpose, like my husband does sometimes. I'm just so excited to be on vacation and have anxiety as well. My sincere apologies 😊

No class.

That’s a Disneyland move. They have done over my 30 years Disneyland. They walk in middle of walkway. They stop. They spread out and stop walking traffic looking unaware because they only aware of their group conversation. They seem unaware of people saying “excuse me, excuse me”

1) Walk around them or straight on through if they are blocking the whole path. If they get offended, pretend you're deaf just as they pretended to become speed bumps and keep walking. 2) Nobody uses the ship gym, but if you do happen to find yourself there and the equipment isn't available due to others being social, simply say "since you're done with your current set, can you please wipe up your sweat and let me have a chance to use the equipment" or if you don't like to do direct confrontation, just as a gym/spa employee to encourage them to move on. 3) Call down to Guest Services and they'll send security up to tell your noisy neighbors to lower the volume. I know its hard to talk to strangers about how annoying they are, but that's just part of living in a society. There are plenty of other vacations you can take where you'd never be bothered by another person, like doing a private yacht charter where you tell the company where you want to go and what food you want to eat and then the only people you'll interact with are your staff and anyone on shore.

@TheChickenGuy666 Or a CABIN!!!

😂😂😂

Was on a cruise in 2022 and arrived late to my muster drill station, wanted to finish my lunch. Crew already left. My account was locked but there was no problem with customer service reopening it. Never again. Rules are rules.

Not to mention the very real fire risk 🔥

Should have thrown the ice bucket water over the divider and said you thought there was a fire from seeing the smoke!

I’ve had that too and I was downwind of them so when we were sailing all their smoke was blown directly into my balcony and if the door opened it went straight into my cabin. I did complain about it.

I thought smoking was banned from balconies because of fire caused by a lit cigarette a few years ago! If nothing was done at first, I would have gone to a higher level to complain! I would also say I had to put a disgarded cigarette out that landed on my balcony!

This is why we get an inside or window. No balcony even if free!

No small kids in hot tub

Hope you remembered to give him special praise on the post-cruise survey, too! That's very important.

@@hadassahsoddsandends We did!

Just ban kids PERIOD

Had a swimmer in the hot tub on a Canada/New England cruise last year. Mother was just concerned with taking selfies and paid zero attention to the kid (around 4 years old). Then, the father comes by with a baby (not old enough to be potty trained) that he had been swimming with in the smaller pool (that's bad enough) and gets in the hot tub with the baby so he could "warm up".

@@poodleboneeek!

Yep, agree with every point as well. Ha.

We were just on an 8 day in May, and I saw a mom change her baby on the table, hand the dirty diaper to the dad to trash. They then took turns going to the buffet. No hand washing, sanitizing, or anything. I didn't eat from the buffet again while on the ship. Some people are disgusting!!

@@deedeest5022 Gross. I always carry my own sanitizer when not eating at home. Especially after turning in the menu. I have seen people not wash hands after using the restroom. We have to look out for ourselves.

No joke, I was on the Disney ship and speaking to the cast member at the entrance that was reminding people to wash their hands when some guy walked in. He was reminded to wash his hands and the A hole actually said, "I took a shower this morning"! I hate people so much.

You forgot to mention his Broadway level singing and jazz hands!

Yep they pee in the hot tub. Also drunk adults too. Ban hot tubs

Isn't there a sign saying you must be 16 & up? Hotels says that.

Hot tubs are not healthy for children...because of the temperatures

Parents don't care about signs, That's why I tried to stay on the higher priced cruises like celebrity and Holland America.Cause that is just a better quality of customer

@@kcprice1115That’s why I don’t get in the Body/Urine Broth. lol

Enforce dress codes!

Now easier for passengers so no excuse...get it done

All the in-person muster drills I ever attended were held out on deck, usually near the lifeboat. We were still packed in like sardines. Many times, we were wearing life jackets. We didn't appreciate late comers. Current system is much better. Unless you board at the last minute, you have no excuse for not completing your muster in a timely fashion.

They should've kept their meds on them in a carry on small bag .

Love this one about the card after muster

You took the words right out of my mouth. DRIVES me crazy

I waited 7 minutes in line at McDonalds, then 5 minutes more while the guy in front of me searched or whatever he did, to give the cashier the money. I told the cashier we just waited in line 7 minutes and he couldn't have his money ready? Man, I was pissed, since I only ordered an iced tea. Some people just are just idiots.

Probably not the same in grocery stores now but being behind an elderly woman who, upon hearing the total seemed surprised, then dug in her purse to find her checkbook then very slowly wrote her check. That could be any of us as the system passes us by.

​@@lindabradford9591 You realize how entitled you are seemingly unaware of each person is allowed time no matter what they do with their turn or time. Your need for only 1 item and you needing less time doesn't have anything to do with the person in front of you. WOW... The complete lack of decency is wild.

I agree! It's already in your fees for the staff . Last time it was $21.00 a day added for staff .

@@lorireed8046 is there a cruise line at $21 now? NCL is $20, $25 if in the top cabin classes

Door slammers early in the morning, too! Not everyone wants to be awakened before 8:00 am on vacation.

Door slammers period at any time, it takes nothing to close the door by hand and then make sure it is actually closed.

Say it again for the fools in the back!!!!!!!!! 🤗🥰🤎🤎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Cause they didn't pay for their vacation? LoL you sound like a delight to be around .

You are 100% correct ✅

true

Sorry sometimes it looks so good I want to taste 😊

I had to explain this to multiple people on our last cruise.

This is so weird... Like your time is Soo important and theirs isn't?

I had to chuckle when he threw that out. People who get so offended when they get touched or brushed into should not use crowded elevators.

Snitches get stitches. :)

😂

😂😂😂

LoL same with the complainers though .... You are just an NPC how dare you exist.

I am a heavy drinker on vacation. This is offensive haha

So now because I'm fat I can't drink?????

No such thing as prepaid gratuities. The company keeps that. Cash is king

Y I am required to tip a person who was hired to do a job? Do you get tipped for going to work every day?

@@fosterfoster6472service personnel Different situation

Tipping is good and deserved when earned. However...when gratuities are automatically added to to the price of my bill guess what, I consider my gratuities taken care of. Either I tip staff directly or the cruise line pays them since they charged me a gratuity fee. One or the other, I'm not paying both.

That is a thing with american culture. I do not go on those cruises prefering companies that actually pay the staff: I have already paid for the service. It is up to the company to hand the money to those, who do the work, not to the shareholders only.

@@VKd-lp1gn but they do not pay the staff well

exactlty.. that is the very first thing I do after taking my first two steps on the ship. In my drill it was only my lady and I.. Just get it out the way..

Neither will I, & that's anywhere

Vape is not smoke.

@@smm2476 OK, they were blowing the VAPOR in the bartenders direction. Not the point of the story. But thank you for pointing that out. 🙄

I was on that ship also, I caught that as well..

​@@alyse1129 I'd like to know what your point is .... What is your point?

@lorireed8046 The point is that vaping is only allowed in smoking areas. They were vaping in non smoking areas and nobody said anything

Fill the clean cup next to the water dispenser infill your bottle, if it touches your bottle get a new cup.

That's why I don't drink out water coolers today.

I always have the premium drink package so I can get bottled water anytime I want and filly cup but if I needed to fill my cup I use the clean cup method to refill

I fill a clean cup and then fill my water bottle. Diabetic and don’t drink anything but water and won’t buy there expensive bottle water!

I never quite understood how that style of water bottle became so popular. I like the lift up nozzle and straw screw on cap. My mouth has nothing to do with the bottle if the cap isn't on. But I'd probably get nasty looks anyway if I thought of filling it up.

I agree

Thank you

Its just cheap advertising, its a ship and they know it..

What's the rush on the fetching of food. You are on a cruise floating to a destination. Take your time. What's the hurry. Food is probably not great anyway. Enjoy your scrappy pizza at midnight.

​@Radioman7600 No rush, my fellow cruise news friend. Perhaps this comment impacted you a bit possibly because you like to hold the food line up 😊 all good, take your sweet time. Folks shouldn't cruise if they don't have patience, right?

Oh my goodness.. 🤦 that gets on my nerves as well.. Only one who can call it a boat is Godzilla but to us it's a SHIP. what do people think the vessels are called that hang on the side of the ship..

exactly..problem solved.

AMEN!!!!

And it’s only on the handrails and door knobs because people didn’t wash their hands after using the bathroom.😂

@@gisme4648 LOL. Or more likely they coughed or sneezed into their hand or wiped their nose with their hand. Get your mind out of the gutter.

@@michaelbrewer9248 yes that is very true and please rest assured that my 78 year old mind rarely ventures into the gutter anymore. 😇🤣

Hard to ignore when they are being bad RIGHT IN YOUR FACE!!! People these days have NO manners. Including older folks.

I didn't know that....I had a passport about 15 years ago and actually burned it with other old tax records I didn't need. I didn't read anything about appearing in front of a judge. I know when I did mine way back when, I had to sit down with the main postal worker. So why a judge now? Do u mind saying where u live?

@@Cooking_Through_Time in the USA, southwest border. Her problem is she was issued the passport as a minor. I lost mine too, but I don’t have to see a judge, just a bunch of hoops. It’s because of how much passport fraud happens in the south western states.

​@@mattiemathis9549 I, still, don't understand why she has to see a judge (go to court) over a missing passport. I had mine stolen and didn't have to do anything more than contact and fill out paperwork.

I would really like to see reachable soap dispensers, and towels. I’m in a wheelchair. I have had people offer to get me papers towels. To them thank you. Soap? Not so easily done. I just use hand sanitizer when out of the restrooms.

Men, too! Oh yes!
