georgiamule great comment

Absolutely!

On time is on time to me. Ships never leave early and usually stay a couple minutes past.

Love this comment. Maybe it’s the Military in me.

My drill Sargent used to say that

Time waits for no one

Totally agree,I always take our passports with me in my man bag just in case, due to requiring any unforeseen medical attention that would cause us to miss the sailing.

Have you seen many pier runners on those 11 cruises? Those videos totally make my day.

It's why no one feels bad for these people. Everyone enjoys these videos.

My hubby and I have been on 54 cruises and never missed a ship. However, during a family reunion one of our nephews almost missed the ship.

🤔😂😂😂😂

"Can't put the bullet back in the gun, once it's fired.." "The train has left the station.." "No sense in kicking a dead horse.." "No matter where you go, there you are.."

Don't forget "They missed the boat."

If I'm not mistaken the 3 horn blasts was the ship signaling that it's about to reverse. Still it also fit perfectly with the scene we were watching :)

Pier runner karen: I demand to speak to the manager! 😮

That's exactly what I said to myself! LOL

Not all passengers we're out i was there most of the people stay inside the shop

Lol!

Im sure hes thinking At least I'll stay in the Bahamas few days longer, make another 2 week vacation

@@novatoboombeach8824 I think you missed the point. If others made back, doesn't matter how many, why the last 2 couldn't?

Same here! Better to watch the ship depart from your cabin balcony than from the port.

Amen to that👏👏

When the Ship leaves at 12:54 P.M. I'm on the ship three years in the future.

Simple as that.....#AllAboard

You don't have to get back early. They leave on time. As long as you're within walking distance of the ship you'll be fine. They have a re-embark time and a departure time. As long as you're walking up the dock at the re-embark time you're good. It's 30 minutes to an hour difference.

Either that or make sure you’re in prime shape before you go on vacation…and have sneakers on hand 😂

I could see some situations where it wouldn’t be your fault. Taxi breaks down or accident brings whole city to a standstill and you can’t get back despite leaving plenty of time, but that doesn’t seem to be the case in most of these situations.

@Jessica Scoe that's why I say book through the cruiseline. If they are late, the ship will wait. I've only done one excursion using a 3rd party. I made sure I got back at least 2 hours before we set sail.

You seem fun 😂

That's an easy ASSUMPTION I'd use my best detective skills and say YOU are in fact the shallow one....

Michael Barrella but if it was you what would you do just be standing there what 😒😒😒✌🏽

Michael Barrella go count your coins and

One warning: make sure you go to your phone's settings and look for a setting that allows world clock functions. Ask the captain what the time zone is and set it for THAT time zone. That way, you won't have to worry about it changing back and forth one hour when you step off the ship! Had that happen to me when flying to Orlando, FL once. Fortunately, I found out about this when stepping off the plane, not when heading back!

Getting a watch solely for ship's time was something I literally just said to myself before I scrolled down to see your comment XD

It’s also important to book excursions through the cruise line and not a 3rd party because you will not get left if that excursion is late or something happens. The ship will wait for you until you get back so you’re basically guaranteed to not get left by booking through the cruise line!

@@desireer1050 True, but you should still read up on reviews about the excursion if you can. The cruise line could be thinking about "breaking up" with them because they were late too many times. This suggestion was passed on to me by another KZfaqr. She searched for the dreadful tour operator that was very late getting her back to the ship. No need for her to worry, the cruise line broke up with them and booked tours through a different one.

I think this is what happens too often. People not realizing that ship time is not always the same as the time on shore.

Exactly

Your Dad is cool, reminds me of my favorite movie line. "If you ain't first you're last!" lol My Dad was British military, he is punctual as hell and always derides me for my less than stellar punctuality. :)

Hoo-yah!!!

Air Force retiree here. If we had an 0600 briefing, if you weren't in your seats at 0550, you were late! At 0600 doors shut and locked and time hack taken.

If you're flying international you better be there at least two hours before departure, 15 minutes ain't going to cut it. 😂

With a big ole sign as well

You say the same shit every post. Have your boyfriend to come up with something new.

Yup 👍

@@dominicliner1609 It's called missing ships movement which can get you restriction to the ship for 30 days at your next port of call or back in your homeport as a minimum but can get you much worse punishment. As a Master-At-Arms in the Navy I saw it several times in my career.

Actually the worst part too beside being late.. Yes glad you pointed that out. They were taking there sweet time.

Even a bus will not stop even when just closed the door that door will not open until it gets to next stop.

And yet there will be people like this who seem to assume even buses are like taxis or something. I was on one in Washington DC and it was sitting at an intersection waiting to make a left turn when some random guy walks into traffic and knocks on the door demanding to be let on. It was no where near a stop either. Bus driver said no and so the guy whipped out his phone and started filming the driver through the windshield while standing IN FRONT of the bus saying he was going to get him fired. It's really frightening how many people (like these two) have this entitled attitude.

LOL when they say 330 they mean 330

@J G dilido😂😂😂

I have been on 4 cruises with Carnival, and the ships ALWAYS left on time.

its in the tens of thousands of dollars

My sister used to pick up grade school students at the school where her own daughter also attended. She did it for the extra money and she was there picking up her own kid anyway. She would often complain of this one boy that was always holding everyone up because he wouldn’t come out of the building with everyone else and was inside playing around while everyone else was sitting in the SUV waiting for him to come strolling out with a smile on his face because he felt so important that everyone was waiting for him. She talked to his parents about it and it would straighten out for a few days and then he was back to his old behavior again. One day she was not able to pick up the kids and asked me if I would take her SUV and do it for her. She told me where to park and the kids knew where to look for me. They all got in except HIM. One of the kids asked me if I wanted him to go in and look for late kid. I said no, and started the SUV and drove away. All the kids in van got quiet and you should have seen the looks on their faces. Later my sister yelled at me and asked me why I left his sorry ass behind and that his mother was pissed off and my sister was concerned about losing a customer. Well…… you can guess what I told her. She still did ask me every now and then to pick up the kids for her after that and on those days she would make sure to tell that kids mother that I was the one picking up the kids that day so the mother could tell her little darling that he better be on time today. Strangely enough he always seemed to be on time for those days. I wonder why that was?

Lessons learned young are the best lessons of all !!!

@@im1who84u too bad your sister didn't learn the lesson either.

@@chrise.321 She was very pretty and had no problem getting boyfriends. So, as you would expect, she was used to just doing whatever she wanted and everybody else had to adjust their lives to accommodate her. We always butted heads because I wouldn't change my plans because of her last minute decision to do something else. I wasn't one of her Beta boyfriends that she could just walk all over. Fortunately I wasn't too bad looking either and I didn't have to take any sh!t from any of the girls I dated. I was always nice to them and not "clingy", but as soon as they sh!t tested me, that was last thing they remember doing before their phone stopped ringing and they were out looking for a new boyfriend that might take their sh!t. I was gone and had moved on. They can be somebody else's problem now.

I missed the Bus once. Had to go back in the house and tell my Mom. After she emptied a 55 gallon drum of whoop ass on me she had to call a relative to haul my butt into Town. Even on the coldest...rainiest....hottest.....mornings, this little freak was at the end of the driveway wayyyyyyy before any Bus was.

Thrash Thrasherson evil 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I dont think a captain has time to be childish

No he wasn't. That would be unprofessional. And captains are everything but unprofessional

Thrash Thrasherson More angry that these people can't return on time when the other 2,000 managed it.

Don't blame him

Hope that shopping was worth it.

Don't forget that the Captain may for safety reasons, refuse to allow the small boat to come alongside.

This is rare very rare and only in particular circumstances. Most the times it's your passports are with the shore agent, cruise port authorities and you are getting to the next stop by plane out your own pocket.

@@davidwadsworth8982 then they were extremely lucky then. Most the time I worked on ships and known others working on ships this was rare

And do you know why they were late?

@@TheRadFactor No. And I don't care why. It's simple, get back to the ship on time.

@@TheRadFactor Nobody gives a f*k why they were late, obviously. Least of all, the captain. 😂😂😂

yes, they were at least 50 minutes late, as you have to be 30 minutes before departure at least, I am not sorry for them neither.

..dopes..

Ship time is 1 hour off at this stop in Nassau. We had the same warning beat into our skulls by the tour guides...

Late is late whether it is ONE minute or ONE hour.

They were on island time.

no waiting in line either. Same here. I'd rather be back an hour before they say to get on and not stress it. Missing the ship has to be one of the worst feelings, especially if you're just in your swim suit and cover up.

100% correct!

They have a watch or a phone and also entitlement

No they’re asking if the boat can come back

lol it’s a cruise ship they have sympathy they legit waited 15-20 minutes for the two, when you book your cruise you know how long you will be at each area, they knew long before getting onboard that ship and even when they got off that ship they knew what time they had to be back. This is human error and the cruise ships have a schedule to. Say someone showed up to work late would a job keep you working, would they make everyone else wait for you, no because they have a schedule they need to stick to

yeah bc they are spoiled dummies who think the world owes them something

I think the Captain should have told them to swim for it and MAYBE he would pick them up

People have been being late to things since the beginning of time, not sure how it relates to being entitled.

@@marer1000 people used to be late occasionally and would actually feel bad about it. Now they expect the world to wait for them. Guarantee these two went and lodged a complaint against the Captain and the cruise line, and likely wanted to be reimbursed for aby extra expenses incurred by them to get back home.

Never been on a cruise ship so what happens to them how did they get back to where they came from

@@snowwhite7571 By what I've heard, there is always reps from cruise line companies base at the ports of calls to assist people in any situation although when your left behind as this is the case here, hopefully they have their passports and a credit card with them. All the cost involved for returning them home or to the next port of call is on them. I would not want to be caught in that situation as it must be a pain in the behind and very expensive. Hopefully, these people will have learn an important lesson.

Chris Coleman you almost picture that being the mentality lol

Someone in the comments section said they were with the captain when he gave the decision to leave and he said that it every port this couple was late getting back.... I don't know if it's true

you arent funny. You dont know what their problem was. Nobody is laughing.

@@blewyd I don't know if it was here or elsewhere the captain said these people showed up late the other days when they were coming back to this ship and made everybody wait.... in other words it was a habit and they seem to have a privileged attitude about it not realizing how expensive it can be when the ship has to stay there longer

If they were in the ultimate family suite they will probably wait for them

Hella!!!!!

If I remember correctly. They left their passports, money, ID, and credit cards on board as well.

Debbie Brooks not an hour or two. The ships master requires you to be back on board 30 minutes prior to sailing.

@@styldsteel1 Cruise Lines pay a big penalty for over staying their welcome.

Once we were on a cruise and we went to Bruges. Once everyone was in the city the trains went on strike and around 300 of us were stranded. The cruise line staff were stuck there too.

Joe Pasquale The only thing unusual about what you said is that they waited 15 minutes. Cruise ships have to stay on their schedule, they usually don’t wait at all.

@@jimgood1949 depending on how important the person is left behind--like an entertainment crew member where the show must go on-they will send a tug boat. Years ago when I worked for the feds at the seaport the QE 2 was running late so they had a tug boat pick us up at the pier and took us to the ship while it was still moving. They opened an entrance and grabbed each of us by the hand and pulled us on board.

@Chris Purdon in one video the captain calculated that it's best to leave port without filling up with fuel as the tugboat bringing in the fuel tanker was late. He said if he waits it will take a few hours to fill up with fuel which would throw the ship off schedule. So he calculated he had enough fuel to get to the next port where the fuel tanker can meet his ship.
