Tbf they were drunk and it’s quite an optical illusion, I wouldn’t think that was nearly as high up as it was if was sober. It’s hard to estimate on the spot.
@@lilheinz9496 That's another perfect reason for them to be banned! If you clearly can't be trusted to not hurt yourself or others then you shouldn't be allowed at a place where it's super easy to get you and those around you hurt or killed!
The guy who jumped probably had no idea how close he came to not surviving to be punished. The maximum survivable fall into water for a sober person is around 160 ft. (according to a Mythbusters experiment). He was probably drunk and that saved his life (apparently drunk people crumple more on impact drastically increasing their chances of surviving). At 120 ft. an object would hit the water at 96 km/h.
People who stand on the balcony railing should absolutely be banned. I had a friend on a ship that had to do a rescue at sea and it was quite an extensive process. They missed a port because of it. That is not something to joke around with.
I do know a cruise ship's captain who has been in service for quite a few years. This would be a well known British cruise line! He told me that he had to order an entire family to leave his ship after they showed very little regard to other cruise passengers and the complaints came flooding in. He did say that this sort of behaviour is now unfortunately on the increase. After cruising for many years without ever seeing any such incidents I think that this is a terrible shame and spoils the whole ambiance of a ship and the passengers enjoying their voyage. Some people can be selfish, stupid and thoughtless to others.
Something I quite enjoy is watching cruise ships leave guests behind on the jetty when the guests get back ~ an hour after all-aboard and just miss it! So satisfying!
The cruise line is totally justified in banning those who so blatantly violate their safety protocols. It's not about stopping individuals from having fun, it's keeping the idiots from killing themselves and putting so many others (cruisers and staff alike) in jeopardy. This isn't a matter of taking all the crab cakes in the buffet, it's about endangering others and even yourself.
I was on P&O Cruise when a whole family got thrown off. Their bad behaviour included fooling around in a glass lift. Surprise surprise the lift "developed a fault" and the whole family was stuck there for some time before they "fixed" it. They were then chucked off.
Hahahaha.... Oh no, the chief electrician can't find spare parts right now. They've been misplaced.... 6 hours later it is working. Just in time for their behaviour or drunkeness to subside. I love that story.
Emma is a "Cruising Gateway Drug." 3 videos later...what just happened??? All the sudden, I care about cruises now. I also just booked a cruise. Wha?!?! LOL
Even if someone was dressed up as a clown, what excuse is that for violence! It is so shocking and alcohol is no excuse for it! Plenty of people can drink, even get inappropriately plastered, without becoming thugs! Thank you for the video.
Do stupid tricks, win stupid prizes! They guy that jumped off from the 11th deck needed to get banned for life. He is a liability issue for the cruise line. His friends also deserved the ban. Sometimes you must make an example of people for their stupid "stunts." Great video, Emma.
We were on the Caribbean Princess going through the Pana Canal, when a man sat on the railing above the pilot house to look over the heads on everyone that was on the observation deck.. we were in the cabin right behind him, and I had to call security. 3 times. I really didn't want to see a person die that day, and it seemed no one took me seriously. Finally our cabin steward went out and told gim to get down. I felt sorry for our steward. Security didn't show up for 30 mins after that.
i worked on Symphony of The Seas in August 2019 when this australian guy jumped from the 11th deck at like 2 am , mind you symphony was "the largest cruise ship in the world" at he time now its second to Wonder , but the ship itself took almost an hour just to turn around , we ended up spotting the guy in the ocean and he was already gone by the time he was rescued , very disturbing experience to say the least.
On our very first cruise many years ago a troubled teen jumped off our floor at the back of the ship on our last night. We spent the rest of the night circling and searching but they never found him. It was a terrible way to end a perfectly enjoyable vacation.
Oddly I was reminded of the other major incident on Britannia only a few days ago by a lady I was talking to who was on the ship at the time. She normally cruises with Celebrity but with all the hype around Britannia at the time decided to sail the Caribbean on her. A whole family brawled on the top deck - drunk. Punches were flying etc. The WHOLE family (and I believe there were quite a few of them) were debarked in Antigua and had to find their own way home. Imagine the cost!
I have this acquaintance. Bragged about the crazy things she does when she gets plastered..... from running naked around the hotel building at 4am with her friends, to dancing on the table in bars. Well, she started going on cruises, for the last year bragging she can go on them whenever she wants. Well, that didn't last too long. According to her former friend (who was with her, and now embarrassed by her) , she got so drunk at a dinner, she got up fell into the waiter knocking over the tray he was holding and it knocked someone in the head :elderly. She also vomited all over the floor. They had to lift this 230 pound woman back to her room. The elderly man sued........ not the cruise line, but HER. Had to forfeit all her "free" cruises. She isn't bragging anymore. PS...btw, this person is well in her forties
Never understood drunkenness. " "Wow, even though I vomited all night; picked a fight; lost control of my bladder/ bowels; embarrassing myself all along the way, then I thought 'Gee that was fun; let's do it again'!"
Thank you for explaining what "Fancy Dress" was. While in Switzerland in 1991, I was invited to a "Fancy Dress" party by a British girl I had met. Sadly, I never got to know what it was as I had to leave the next morning.
How weird, just last night I was watching an Australian t.v. show and they said a party was "fancy dress". I was so confused when they went in costumes. Fancy dress here would mean formal. Weird that it would come up again the very next day.
in the ex British colonies..... Formal is formal dress, and then you have to check which formal dress. It is very formal, just like Great Britain... and there are different formal dress codes.... check before you go. (Style of Formal Dress, order to wear medals or not etc, do you wear your tiara or not. It's not good to get all this wrong.) IF you get an invite to a formal dress gathering, phone the organizer if you are not sure about what is expected.... otherwise you will be in for embarrassment. Now, fancy dress in those places mean that you dress up like pretty much anything like a pirate, a penguin, a prostitute, etc..... or to a certain theme, like a "shipwreck party" or whatever the theme is.... so that is fancy dress for British or British ex colonies. The invitation should tell you what the dress expectation is, whether Formal, or Fancy Dress.
Regarding the guys who were all banned because one of them jumped: perhaps Royal thought they encouraged their friend to jump and therefore were as guilty as if they themselves jumped. Maybe not fair, but from Royal’s perspective, they could end up jumping or encouraging someone else to jump, so why take that chance.
When I was a young lad suffering from testosterone poisoning I jumped into the dive pool at a swim club from the retractable roof 60' then unsurprisingly banned for life and forfeited my yearly dues I had paid ahead on. I've done water insertions via the military previously and knew how to drop in from height. I cannot imagine being untrained and dropping from twice the height. Dang!
"A violent late night brawl with blood everywhere" and a clown. That sounds like the set up for a joke(or perhap a horror show)! Perhaps also a disclaimer "No clowns were harmed on this cruise". :)
There was another fight on a Carnival cruise in Australia that got really out of hand a couple years ago. There some video of it too, showing even the crew getting involved (well, maybe not involved, but maybe heavy handed in trying to 'control' the situation?)
Emma has an amazing voice she can speak fast but very clearly , sometimes I wonder if she even takes a breath. I find it pleasant to listen to. I probably will never go on a cruise but enjoy the videos anyway 😄
I had a near death experience once from falling overboard, but not from a cruise ship. I was working on a towboat and passed out from heatstroke/dehydration, and fell from a height about 12 feet down into the Mississippi River. I have no recollection of falling because I was unconscious, woke up underwater and was disoriented as to which way was up to the surface. Worst of all I lost my favorite hat LOL
Lucky you survived. Did you continue to work on the tow boats? Did you increase your liquid consumption afterwards? Did you get out of the sun more afterwards? I knew working with tow boats is hard but I didn't know it is so dangerous.
Getting banned from a cruise isn’t like end of the world, you’ll just go onto another ship or don’t cruise in the future? Getting banned from an airline is more of a problem….
Update: Re the brawl on Britannia, the case came to court very recently (after covid delayed it) and one man was sent to prison, it wasn't a light sentence either. I think P&O wanted to make a very public stand on such behaviour.
Emma My wife and I love watching your informative videos. I like to hear your topic of British-ism of the week . It reminds me of my mother who came to Canada as a war bride in1948. She brought my two older brothers who were both born in Britain. When she took them to register for school she was told by the Principal not to worry as the Canadian school system would get rid of their British accents. Needless to say my mother was furious! Regards from Canada Jennifer and Duncan
Emma Yes, they lost their British accents as they grew up but my oldest Brother didn’t get his Canadian citizenship until he was 50. My mother always retained her accent and her British citizenship! She was from Lancaster.
Read the video title and thought - ooh that’d be interesting but these ones are always 25-minute traps without content. Then saw it was posted by Emma and felt the relief and excitement haha. Can’t wait to see this one!
I play RuneScape, a game designed in the uk, and the holiday costumes have always been stored in a “fancy dress box”. I never knew that was a thing until today!!!
California Linda shares @Emma. It was so nice to join your and ilana's live stream today. Looking forward to your travel vlogs and your adventures on the Disney Cruise.
@@bubba99009 see, I'd mostly relate that to a swimming costume, or something for a play. Was quite funny in that regard to see a "no costumes" sign in an American pool during a holiday
We were Canadians living in England and my younger brother got invited to a fancy dress party (he was in preschool at the time and we had only recently moved there). He was so excited to wear a suit until he got to the party and everyone else was in costumes… He apparently was super embarrassed and cried and wanted to go home (feeling are hard to deal with when you are a toddler). The adults were able to convince him that he was James Bond (toddlers are also easily distracted), but my mom still feels bad about the misunderstanding 20+ years later.
I love your latest British-ism! That's one I've never heard. I've always assumed "fancy dress" meant being dressed in formal clothes. Back in the 70's on a Royal Caribbean ship, my uncle found an older woman sitting on top of a deck railing and leaning way over. He said he grabbed her just before she would have fallen, and she kept saying that she had dropped her purse and was trying to reach it. OMG! Of course, she was very drunk.
Dumb, so she wanted to save her purse 👛 but not value her life. I tell friends who r afraid to cruise that when ppl fall especially at night it’s mostly their fault or negligence. IJS
And that's why Cruise lines should allow to use hook and ropes. You purse had fallen to another Balcony or hooked into something. At least you can try get it back.
Very entertaining video! I'm glad your channel came up in my recommended. The notion of climbing up onto one of those balcony railings truly makes me shudder. Also, I'm sure you've been told this already but Australians use the term fancy dress as well, which isn't surprising given we're part of the Commonwealth. I love hearing about regional differences in language though. (:
When liability comes into play the entities that might be affected can become pretty rigid about not letting an incident happen again. The loss in revenue would be minimal compared to the cost of a lawsuit and/or a judgement.
When i was pregnant with my first child a young man jumped overboard from the Bornholmer. I knew this young man, we had been in same class in school. He were a great swimmer. That and overconfidence killed him. He had forgotten his laugage at port and thought he could swim there. He was never found. Mads was 18 when he died. I will never forget him
@@EmmaCruises Yes it was. I was at the hospital for a scanning of my stomach when I got the news. That year is imprinted on my mind for both good and bad reasons.
OMG! I'm thinking about how if I ever got invited to a costume party on the UK I would have arrived in an evening gown. 😆 I suppose it would be worse if I wore a costume to a white tie event. Lol
Great video Emma...I have seen a fist fight once on a Princess vessel and to nobody's surprise the aggressor was dockside the next day with his luggage. The victim was welcome to continue his cruise.
A family cruise, the grandfather accidentally dropped his granddaughter after lifting her over the railing. They sued the cruise company; the cruise company counter sued as they had video. Personal responsibility rarely exists anymore!! Emma, is that you in the Penguin Costume? So cute!!❤
How times have changed! People jump from balconies for fun! I worked briefly for P &O on the Canberra in the 1980s (no balconies then), but one of my duties at night was 'suicide watch'.You'd be surprised how often we'd catch someone standing on a rail ready to jump! And not because the food was bad!
Emma, you remain the queen of encyclopaedic blogs. And yes, tannoy should have been the British ism of the week. Sacks and sacks of potatoes - great blog.
I agree that the First Lady should have been banned, I mean that would be terrifying to look over and see her standing there. I was just on a cruise and someone jumped overboard and they luckily found them but it was terrifying
Ship stopped to rescue Cuban refugees in make shift boat. University students threw beer bottles at refugees and ship crew during rescue. They were kicked off ship.
Years ago I saw a young couple trying to partake of 🪴 on deck up high toward the bow of the ship. Security caught them and they were taken away. No idea what happened to them but I looked up the ships policy and according to that they would be charged with international smuggling. 😯
I really love and appreciate this explanation of british words 😁 i said in one of the other videos but nevertheless its an very cool add on to the video 👍
While making our way out of our berth in Southampton, we were passing Cunard’s ‘Queen Victoria’ that was still moored up. I came out of the cabin toilet to discover my ‘cruise virgin’ friend on the balcony ‘mooning’ at their passengers who were sat on their balconies enjoying the view of the Solent! I dragged him back into the cabin and let him know, in no uncertain terms, that he wasn’t now in Magaluf!
@@cremebrulee4759 I blame Andy Williams for romanticising this type of behaviour for older people on river cruises and younger people have just taken it to sea. It may work slowly cruising slowly through European cities but not on the open sea, whatever next?
Heard of some similar behaviour happening on balconies on Gay Cruises, including ppl ‘going for it’ in plain view while docked in countries where certain behaviour is punishable by death…
@@Dalts1985 People need to remember as soon as you step outside your room or onto a balcony it's a public space in effect so behave accordingly. I would add the incident in question was photographed with a high power zoom lens from the dock. So I tend to think someone wanted to make a point about a gay cruise ships. Not so sure it would have made news of it was a straight couple. Either way.....never on the balcony ! Lol
Leaving off suicides, most banning involves idiots climbing onto railings. Just the idea of hitting the water and being pulled under by the mechanics underneath the ship and being chopped up gives me the creeps. My husband was in the Navy for 20 yrs and he’s told me stories about overboards and they’re awful.
Great episode! So here I am on a Mexico Cruise, solo and balcony. Guy adjacent to me is smoking on his balcony (strike one) He finished his cigarette and flips it into the ocean. (Strike two) WE ARE IN PORT! I read him the riot act. He then says the completely unexpected.... "I'll get it!" And jumps off his balcony to the ocean below from deck 12! There are plenty of smoking sections but once they fished him out...lifetime ban. I joked with officers the rest of the cruise, "place him dockside next time"
I once went to shopping mall that is on one of the big intersections in Brampton which is one of the biggest Suburbs of Toronto. I saw two men very loudly screaming at each other. It was easy to hear it from very far away. I also had a job in the most dangerous neighborhood in Toronto. On my day off there was a murder that took place. My boss saw it. It went on the news.
funniest story from one of my cruises was when i was like 16. some friends i had met and i gathered in the glass elevator in the main atrium, started on the bottom floor, and rode all the way to the top, mooning everyone in the lobby through the glass, before making a quick getaway when the doors opened.
This had be chuckling but I really laughed at the last comment: losing his swim trunks at a really inconvenient time! 🤣🤣🤣 That tickled me pink. Seriously though, the last one made it to the news here as well. Some people are the craziest around.
Wow! makes me realize how fortunate I have been having cruised on the QE2 as a child in 1972 then many years later on the OASIS then the Navigator & have never even heard about such crazy incidents apart from people falling off ships over the years.. makes me realize it's such a huge gamble being on such a large vessel surrounded by so many strangers & things can go horribly wrong for everyone including getting seasick.. Wonder if I should quit while i'm ahead..
The thing about the guy who jumped so his friends could film....you mentioned the high dives in the Olympics. There is a small stream of water sort of shooting into the pool to break the surface of the water. Hitting water from that high up must be like hitting cement, in my imagination. The person in the clown costume....how many people are afraid of clowns??? A lot, I've heard
There's that theory that if you have to jump from height into water, you should try to drop a heavy object first. To break the surface tension. I have no idea if that would work or not though.
In 2003 on our Carnival cruise, a man was put in their cell for going down the slide naked. Don't know if he was banned for life.... yes, alcohol was involved!
@@gaynor247 Sounds awesome! Honestly, I like the photo a lot - one of the best photos with perfect background! Thank you Gaynor for sharing the info and glad to know you're the one who took the pic!
@@EmmaCruises As far as i know, (I think it was one of Don Terris's) an Australian family basically went to war with other cruisers after a night of drinking, and understandably were told to never come back onboard
@@RobSojourn I was worried when my 30 year class reunion was held on a Carnival CruiseLine. The superintendent of our high school was caught on a hot mike saying, "The class of '86 is the worst class to ever step foot through Henderson County's doors." We were a bit boisterous and the man was in his 70's and had been in the school system 30 years so I'm sure we were more challenging than our parents' generation when he was first started. I'm not sure what happened for him to make this statement but knew he was annoyed and tried to have a black student expelled after he refused to wear the school mascot mask because the student considered it racist. Our mascot was the Colonel...(Kentucky) Colonel Sanders. He was our mascot for 2 years...without the mask. My class felt they got their revenge by printing his quote on every reunion t-shirt.🤣 *School superintendent responsibilities include hiring staff, solving problems and lobbying for additional resources, when needed. A track record of school leadership and strong communication skills are essential for this position. Job Description The role of a superintendent is to serve as the overall senior leader of a school district.
I've only been on one little cruise there was an ethnic group of about 60 bronze relatives who were very arrogant and threttening.I'm ex.Special Forces and found them rude and intimating to other people.
About the men that jumped from 120ft from the simphony from the 11th floor: Yes the bann for life was justefied not only for him and i agree it's a miracle that he is a live. I'm preety sure that not all his friends agreed to that sick (not in the good slang way) joke but not fully stopping him from doing that count as supporting this so the ban is justified even if they fully understood this was very very stuiped and VERY DANGEROUS
I agree. They were filming him jumping to the 11th floor so their consent to this "attempted suicide" is implied. To my way of thinking the jumper may have thought he was being "funny", but to anyone seeing him, it is a suicide attempt.
Not if my dad gets there first, lol!! We took my dad on a cruise, his first, and omg, him and those cookies. Every time he was at the buffet or just passing by, he'd grab a bunch of cookies and stick them in his pocket. Every single shirt he had was wrecked from the oils and chocolate in them! He didn't mind all his shirts were ruined, the cookies were worth it, in his opinion. He even took some home!
As an american, if I saw a rule that said "no fancy dress" clothes, I'd assume that meant no formal clothing like a button up shirt and suit. I had no idea that it meant no costumes in this context.
As a person who's never been on a cruise ship Iverson had friends who done this on cruise ships and had gotten banned for life they had to find another route home this is why i have a difficult time with people who do stuff like this and try to be dumb the captain on the cruise ship wasn't happy at all I'm glad i wasn't there at all the fact that my friends would do the dumbest things in general this has made me regret everything right now
It's OK, we all know idiots....... just travel with your sensible friends. You can still get drunk, have fun in anyway you wish.... but there is a line. And most people know it. Just keep yourself or friends controlled. You can still be outrageous.... just not in front of everyone. Make a public spectacle of yourselves, your travel options home will be different from what you planned. That's all. And it will likely be at your own expense. Remember, that the Cruise Line can get sued for injuries and anything else that happens about. It's is not good for the Officer's KPI's, incurring more suits against the Operator and reducing profitability and general safety onboard.
Remember when a member of the Royal Family dressed up as a member of a foreign party member. It is always important to ask someone who is responsible and levelheaded is this a good thing for me to put on go out in public.
Most daring thing I have ever done on a ship is to eat After Eight mints at half past seven! As to fancy dress - my idea of fancy dress is a suit and tie! I’m going on a cruise - not applying for a job as a double glazing salesman or appearing in court!
I am so terrified of the ocean that I think that I would have a heart attack if I fell into the ocean while on a cruise. I dont know why people play around like that.
I'm not worried about falling off, I'm more worried someone would push me over the railing. Although I suppose it's EXTREMELY rare that some random psycho tries to throw a complete stranger overboard.
It has been known to happen, on a ferry between Finland and Sweden. Several young men mysteriously vanishing within six month of each other.. It could have been a serial killer targeting young lads
I was on a cruise where a family was banned for life after an older teen caused a great deal of trouble over several days including throwing furniture off the balcony, acting out and being banned from the teen program, and ultimately couldn't keep his hands from inappropriate touching of other passengers. During the cruise. he had been supposedly moved to an inside cabin, restricted to being out of the cabin except in the company of his father, etc. The family was charged for the destruction of the cabin furniture, etc. It was suspected but not proven that an older brother was supplying the younger brother with alcohol. The police were involved prior to disembarkation. At least 2 young women were given security protection for the remainder of the cruise as the father's supervision was obviously not reliable.
Hi Emma, If you read this please could you recommend a "first time" cruise for my Mum and I? I was looking at the Transatlantic with Cunard but I think we'll get bored at sea for 7 days.
I have done Transatlantic crossings on Cunard 3 times, the first time when I was in late 40’s. I wasn’t bored. There are a lot of things to do, even if you’re not sightseeing on foreign shores.
Carnival Mardi Gras is a fun ship that is really big. When you get your card it would be a blue card representing your first time on a carnival ship. Red means your second time to 24 cruise days, gold means 25-74 days on carnival, platinum means 75-199 days on carnival and lastly diamond is over 200 days on carnival.

Yep! He said he didn't think about it at all. 160ft!! Blimey. Yeah I think so.
If you don't like this channel, simply go away and mind your business. No one is asking you to comment.
That’s about 60mph. Hitting water at anything near that speed is like landing on concrete!
The current official world record for a dive is 192 ft and 10 inches, or 58.8 meters.
funny how you think about that impact: the streamlined dive at higher point would have made a difference. balled up or flailing would've get killed.
People who stand on the balcony railing should absolutely be banned. I had a friend on a ship that had to do a rescue at sea and it was quite an extensive process. They missed a port because of it. That is not something to joke around with.
Yep, it affects a lot. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
I'm surprised that when they were hauled back on board they weren't clobbered by half the vacationers.
Not to mention the people who have to do the rescuing are risking their lives for somebody who did something stupid.
Someone who purposely violates an important safety rule is showing an attitude that makes them dangerous to have onboard. They should be banned.
Totally agree!! 👍

I have this acquaintance. Bragged about the crazy things she does when she gets plastered..... from running naked around the hotel building at 4am with her friends, to dancing on the table in bars.
Well, she started going on cruises, for the last year bragging she can go on them whenever she wants. Well, that didn't last too long. According to her former friend (who was with her, and now embarrassed by her) , she got so drunk at a dinner, she got up fell into the waiter knocking over the tray he was holding and it knocked someone in the head :elderly. She also vomited all over the floor. They had to lift this 230 pound woman back to her room. The elderly man sued........ not the cruise line, but HER. Had to forfeit all her "free" cruises.
She isn't bragging anymore.
PS...btw, this person is well in her forties
Oh my goodness!
Ew! That’s attractive 🤣
Never understood drunkenness. " "Wow, even though I vomited all night; picked a fight; lost control of my bladder/ bowels; embarrassing myself all along the way, then I thought 'Gee that was fun; let's do it again'!"
Thank you for explaining what "Fancy Dress" was. While in Switzerland in 1991, I was invited to a "Fancy Dress" party by a British girl I had met. Sadly, I never got to know what it was as I had to leave the next morning.
How weird, just last night I was watching an Australian t.v. show and they said a party was "fancy dress". I was so confused when they went in costumes. Fancy dress here would mean formal. Weird that it would come up again the very next day.
in the ex British colonies..... Formal is formal dress, and then you have to check which formal dress. It is very formal, just like Great Britain... and there are different formal dress codes.... check before you go. (Style of Formal Dress, order to wear medals or not etc, do you wear your tiara or not. It's not good to get all this wrong.)
IF you get an invite to a formal dress gathering, phone the organizer if you are not sure about what is expected.... otherwise you will be in for embarrassment.
Now, fancy dress in those places mean that you dress up like pretty much anything like a pirate, a penguin, a prostitute, etc..... or to a certain theme, like a "shipwreck party" or whatever the theme is.... so that is fancy dress for British or British ex colonies.
The invitation should tell you what the dress expectation is, whether Formal, or Fancy Dress.
Regarding the guys who were all banned because one of them jumped: perhaps Royal thought they encouraged their friend to jump and therefore were as guilty as if they themselves jumped. Maybe not fair, but from Royal’s perspective, they could end up jumping or encouraging someone else to jump, so why take that chance.
There were camera everywhere so the crew can see their reactions and emotions too.
They filmed the incident and you could hear and see the "friends" goading him on. They were banned for their own actions, not his.
Also if the dumby jumper did that what may the rest of them do to impress their mates.
When I was a young lad suffering from testosterone poisoning I jumped into the dive pool at a swim club from the retractable roof 60' then unsurprisingly banned for life and forfeited my yearly dues I had paid ahead on. I've done water insertions via the military previously and knew how to drop in from height. I cannot imagine being untrained and dropping from twice the height. Dang!
"A violent late night brawl with blood everywhere" and a clown. That sounds like the set up for a joke(or perhap a horror show)!
Perhaps also a disclaimer "No clowns were harmed on this cruise". :)
Yeah!! It so does. Well, we don't know!! ;)
Hahaha
There was another fight on a Carnival cruise in Australia that got really out of hand a couple years ago. There some video of it too, showing even the crew getting involved (well, maybe not involved, but maybe heavy handed in trying to 'control' the situation?)
Oh dear! Eek. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Emma has an amazing voice she can speak fast but very clearly , sometimes I wonder if she even takes a breath. I find it pleasant to listen to. I probably will never go on a cruise but enjoy the videos anyway 😄
with peace and love i don’t think i’ll ever ride a cruise ship - i just really enjoy watching ur videos for some reason!!
Hey Molly, thank you. I appreciate that! 💕💕
You’re not alone there. Emma is magnifying.
And here I am a year late, also not planning on going on a cruise because the idea terrifies me.
For some reason it’s really calming to watch😋
I had a near death experience once from falling overboard, but not from a cruise ship. I was working on a towboat and passed out from heatstroke/dehydration, and fell from a height about 12 feet down into the Mississippi River. I have no recollection of falling because I was unconscious, woke up underwater and was disoriented as to which way was up to the surface. Worst of all I lost my favorite hat LOL
Oh my goodness!!!!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Lucky you survived.
Did you continue to work on the tow boats?
Did you increase your liquid consumption afterwards? Did you get out of the sun more afterwards?
I knew working with tow boats is hard but I didn't know it is so dangerous.
Getting banned from a cruise isn’t like end of the world, you’ll just go onto another ship or don’t cruise in the future?
Getting banned from an airline is more of a problem….
It depends on your ban... There have been some that have been banned for life on ALL cruise ship. Blacklisted is the word.
Just take a ferry ship from Island to Island. You can take a csr with you and ride onboard.
Update: Re the brawl on Britannia, the case came to court very recently (after covid delayed it) and one man was sent to prison, it wasn't a light sentence either. I think P&O wanted to make a very public stand on such behaviour.
It was a 21 month sentence.
They should make a public stand on it. That's improper and dangerous behavior.
21 months?! Blimey! Wow.
@@baconvonmeatwich that seems over the top!

Emma
My wife and I love watching your informative videos. I like to hear your topic of British-ism of the week . It reminds me of my mother who came to Canada as a war bride in1948. She brought my two older brothers who were both born in Britain. When she took them to register for school she was told by the Principal not to worry as the Canadian school system would get rid of their British accents. Needless to say my mother was furious!
Regards from Canada
Jennifer and Duncan
Hey Jennifer and Duncan, thanks so much. Oh my wow!!!! Did they lose their accents!?! I guess it depends how old you are really.
Emma
Yes, they lost their British accents as they grew up but my oldest Brother didn’t get his Canadian citizenship until he was 50. My mother always retained her accent and her British citizenship! She was from Lancaster.
It's not the fall from the shop. It's the impact on the water and the trip through one of the propellers that usually pro es fatal.
Read the video title and thought - ooh that’d be interesting but these ones are always 25-minute traps without content. Then saw it was posted by Emma and felt the relief and excitement haha. Can’t wait to see this one!
Haha!! Thank you so much for that, really appreciate it. It's just me telling some stories of some silly people ;)
I play RuneScape, a game designed in the uk, and the holiday costumes have always been stored in a “fancy dress box”.
I never knew that was a thing until today!!!
California Linda shares @Emma. It was so nice to join your and ilana's live stream today. Looking forward to your travel vlogs and your adventures on the Disney Cruise.
It was a good live stream.
Thanks Linda and Jeff! I love talking to Ilana, she's lovely. 😊💕
I love the fact that dressing up as a clown is considered "fancy dress" in the UK. If someone told me "fancy dress" I'd be thinking tuxedo.
In British that would be "formal night" or more specifically "black tie". So what do you call "fancy dress parties" where you dress up as funny stuff?
@@Caroleonus A "costume party."
@@bubba99009 see, I'd mostly relate that to a swimming costume, or something for a play. Was quite funny in that regard to see a "no costumes" sign in an American pool during a holiday
Exactly
We were Canadians living in England and my younger brother got invited to a fancy dress party (he was in preschool at the time and we had only recently moved there). He was so excited to wear a suit until he got to the party and everyone else was in costumes…
He apparently was super embarrassed and cried and wanted to go home (feeling are hard to deal with when you are a toddler). The adults were able to convince him that he was James Bond (toddlers are also easily distracted), but my mom still feels bad about the misunderstanding 20+ years later.
I love your latest British-ism! That's one I've never heard. I've always assumed "fancy dress" meant being dressed in formal clothes. Back in the 70's on a Royal Caribbean ship, my uncle found an older woman sitting on top of a deck railing and leaning way over. He said he grabbed her just before she would have fallen, and she kept saying that she had dropped her purse and was trying to reach it. OMG! Of course, she was very drunk.
Thank you, oh my goodness!! Eek!!!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Dumb, so she wanted to save her purse 👛 but not value her life. I tell friends who r afraid to cruise that when ppl fall especially at night it’s mostly their fault or negligence. IJS
And that's why Cruise lines should allow to use hook and ropes.
You purse had fallen to another Balcony or hooked into something. At least you can try get it back.
@@alpha34098 Contact staff and they will help you get your purse... they have hooks etc.
Wasn't that rose on the titanic. Is your uncle's name jack Dawson?
Very entertaining video! I'm glad your channel came up in my recommended. The notion of climbing up onto one of those balcony railings truly makes me shudder. Also, I'm sure you've been told this already but Australians use the term fancy dress as well, which isn't surprising given we're part of the Commonwealth. I love hearing about regional differences in language though. (:
When liability comes into play the entities that might be affected can become pretty rigid about not letting an incident happen again. The loss in revenue would be minimal compared to the cost of a lawsuit and/or a judgement.
I'd rather drive nails through my head than ever go on a cruise. But I do however enjoy your content and watching people get their just dues.
When i was pregnant with my first child a young man jumped overboard from the Bornholmer. I knew this young man, we had been in same class in school. He were a great swimmer. That and overconfidence killed him. He had forgotten his laugage at port and thought he could swim there. He was never found.
Mads was 18 when he died. I will never forget him
Oh my goodness that’s terrible 😭💕
@@EmmaCruises Yes it was. I was at the hospital for a scanning of my stomach when I got the news. That year is imprinted on my mind for both good and bad reasons.
OMG! I'm thinking about how if I ever got invited to a costume party on the UK I would have arrived in an evening gown. 😆 I suppose it would be worse if I wore a costume to a white tie event. Lol
Great video Emma...I have seen a fist fight once on a Princess vessel and to nobody's surprise the aggressor was dockside the next day with his luggage. The victim was welcome to continue his cruise.
GOOD!! 💕💕
The victim, of course, was observed eating soft foods only for the rest of the cruise.
@@Vinnie101a lol
I'm in America and I do recall the clown fight on the cruise ship. They were really going at it!
A family cruise, the grandfather accidentally dropped his granddaughter after lifting her over the railing. They sued the cruise company; the cruise company counter sued as they had video. Personal responsibility rarely exists anymore!! Emma, is that you in the Penguin Costume? So cute!!❤
Thanks for educating us on "fancy dress". Means something totally different in the US hahah
How times have changed! People jump from balconies for fun! I worked briefly for P &O on the Canberra in the 1980s (no balconies then), but one of my duties at night was 'suicide watch'.You'd be surprised how often we'd catch someone standing on a rail ready to jump! And not because the food was bad!
Blimey, Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Could have been because a bartender cut them off.
😀
@@billolsen4360 Or didn't.
Hahaha
Great video Emma. I'm Australian and we call it fancy dress too.
8:05 Many larger simple traffic Ferries even have a brig or jail, rarely used but very handy when the time comes.
Good your making everyone aware of this
Emma, you remain the queen of encyclopaedic blogs. And yes, tannoy should have been the British ism of the week. Sacks and sacks of potatoes - great blog.
Ha ha!! Thanks so much Bill. 😀😀
I agree that the First Lady should have been banned, I mean that would be terrifying to look over and see her standing there. I was just on a cruise and someone jumped overboard and they luckily found them but it was terrifying
5:30 I don't think they banned his friends because they could do the same, I think they ban his friends because (presumably) nobody tried to stop him.
complicit. yep.
Safety 1st always i agree emma and I am loving your vlogs. Also your editing and writing just keeps getting better.
Thanks Dylan! I'm trying my best! :D
08:55 I bet there was someone dressed colorfully, and some drunks thought they were dressed as a clown. 😂
Could have been one of those punk style people that spray paint their hair and look like a budgerigar (a Budgie)
Ship stopped to rescue Cuban refugees in make shift boat. University students threw beer bottles at refugees and ship crew during rescue. They were kicked off ship.
Years ago I saw a young couple trying to partake of 🪴 on deck up high toward the bow of the ship. Security caught them and they were taken away. No idea what happened to them but I looked up the ships policy and according to that they would be charged with international smuggling. 😯
😂😂😂
I really love and appreciate this explanation of british words 😁 i said in one of the other videos but nevertheless its an very cool add on to the video 👍
While making our way out of our berth in Southampton, we were passing Cunard’s ‘Queen Victoria’ that was still moored up. I came out of the cabin toilet to discover my ‘cruise virgin’ friend on the balcony ‘mooning’ at their passengers who were sat on their balconies enjoying the view of the Solent! I dragged him back into the cabin and let him know, in no uncertain terms, that he wasn’t now in Magaluf!
What in the world?! How could he think that was proper behavior? I hope he was young and immature, otherwise, there is no excuse.
@@cremebrulee4759 I blame Andy Williams for romanticising this type of behaviour for older people on river cruises and younger people have just taken it to sea. It may work slowly cruising slowly through European cities but not on the open sea, whatever next?
Heard of some similar behaviour happening on balconies on Gay Cruises, including ppl ‘going for it’ in plain view while docked in countries where certain behaviour is punishable by death…
Oh my goodness!!
@@Dalts1985 People need to remember as soon as you step outside your room or onto a balcony it's a public space in effect so behave accordingly. I would add the incident in question was photographed with a high power zoom lens from the dock. So I tend to think someone wanted to make a point about a gay cruise ships. Not so sure it would have made news of it was a straight couple. Either way.....never on the balcony ! Lol
I love your “British-ism”’s! TYSM!!
Leaving off suicides, most banning involves idiots climbing onto railings. Just the idea of hitting the water and being pulled under by the mechanics underneath the ship and being chopped up gives me the creeps. My husband was in the Navy for 20 yrs and he’s told me stories about overboards and they’re awful.
And if you hit even slightly wrong, you may not die from that, but maybe you won't be able to swim. Some people.........
Bleh!!!
You don't even have to fall that far. I once fell about 12 ft and hit the water wrong and blacked out completely. If someone hadn't pulled me out...
Great episode!
So here I am on a Mexico Cruise, solo and balcony. Guy adjacent to me is smoking on his balcony (strike one) He finished his cigarette and flips it into the ocean. (Strike two) WE ARE IN PORT! I read him the riot act. He then says the completely unexpected.... "I'll get it!" And jumps off his balcony to the ocean below from deck 12! There are plenty of smoking sections but once they fished him out...lifetime ban. I joked with officers the rest of the cruise, "place him dockside next time"
I'll smoke anywhere I had please try confronting me my security escort would handle you .
'Joked' 😉 good one.
I once went to shopping mall that is on one of the big intersections in Brampton which is one of the biggest Suburbs of Toronto. I saw two men very loudly screaming at each other. It was easy to hear it from very far away. I also had a job in the most dangerous neighborhood in Toronto. On my day off there was a murder that took place. My boss saw it. It went on the news.
Catching up on your videos!!!
I appreciate the modest dress of this lady.
I appreciate everything about this lady. She’s perfect.
funniest story from one of my cruises was when i was like 16. some friends i had met and i gathered in the glass elevator in the main atrium, started on the bottom floor, and rode all the way to the top, mooning everyone in the lobby through the glass, before making a quick getaway when the doors opened.
This had be chuckling but I really laughed at the last comment: losing his swim trunks at a really inconvenient time! 🤣🤣🤣 That tickled me pink.
Seriously though, the last one made it to the news here as well. Some people are the craziest around.
Wow! makes me realize how fortunate I have been having cruised on the QE2 as a child in 1972 then many years later on the OASIS then the Navigator & have never even heard about such crazy incidents apart from people falling off ships over the years.. makes me realize it's such a huge gamble being on such a large vessel surrounded by so many strangers & things can go horribly wrong for everyone including getting seasick.. Wonder if I should quit while i'm ahead..
The thing about the guy who jumped so his friends could film....you mentioned the high dives in the Olympics. There is a small stream of water sort of shooting into the pool to break the surface of the water. Hitting water from that high up must be like hitting cement, in my imagination.
The person in the clown costume....how many people are afraid of clowns??? A lot, I've heard
There's that theory that if you have to jump from height into water, you should try to drop a heavy object first. To break the surface tension. I have no idea if that would work or not though.
In 2003 on our Carnival cruise, a man was put in their cell for going down the slide naked. Don't know if he was banned for life.... yes, alcohol was involved!
Good Stuff as usual Emma

Im surprised you did not include the "fighting Australian families" that also got banned (and arrested)
Ooo, I don't think I know about that one? What happened??
@@EmmaCruises As far as i know, (I think it was one of Don Terris's) an Australian family basically went to war with other cruisers after a night of drinking, and understandably were told to never come back onboard
I just looked up "Australian family cruise fight" and got the story from several sources. It happened on the Carnival Legend about 3 years ago
@@RobSojourn I was worried when my 30 year class reunion was held on a Carnival CruiseLine. The superintendent of our high school was caught on a hot mike saying, "The class of '86 is the worst class to ever step foot through Henderson County's doors."
We were a bit boisterous and the man was in his 70's and had been in the school system 30 years so I'm sure we were more challenging than our parents' generation when he was first started. I'm not sure what happened for him to make this statement but knew he was annoyed and tried to have a black student expelled after he refused to wear the school mascot mask because the student considered it racist. Our mascot was the Colonel...(Kentucky) Colonel Sanders. He was our mascot for 2 years...without the mask.
My class felt they got their revenge by printing his quote on every reunion t-shirt.🤣
*School superintendent responsibilities include hiring staff, solving problems and lobbying for additional resources, when needed.

I've only been on one little cruise there was an ethnic group of about 60 bronze relatives who were very arrogant and threttening.I'm ex.Special Forces and found them rude and intimating to other people.
Dude in the cabin next to us was fishing from the 8th deck off his balcony. He was locked in his Cabin on the 1st day lol
All I gotta say to those folks on the last incident is stop CLOWNING around. 😆
All for vanity...
"I never thought..." words commonly spoken by folks who manage not to die...

About the men that jumped from 120ft from the simphony from the 11th floor:
Yes the bann for life was justefied not only for him and i agree it's a miracle that he is a live.
I'm preety sure that not all his friends agreed to that sick (not in the good slang way) joke but not fully stopping him from doing that count as supporting this so the ban is justified even if they fully understood this was very very stuiped and VERY DANGEROUS
I agree. They were filming him jumping to the 11th floor so their consent to this "attempted suicide" is implied. To my way of thinking the jumper may have thought he was being "funny", but to anyone seeing him, it is a suicide attempt.
Yeah that's so so true. Could be horrific. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
@@jackieheidorn5875 he did jumped off Columbia River and waterfall cliff jumping. He’s former gymnast coach.
If I got kicked off a cruise ship, it would be for eating all the cookies at the buffet
They encourage that!!
Not if my dad gets there first, lol!! We took my dad on a cruise, his first, and omg, him and those cookies. Every time he was at the buffet or just passing by, he'd grab a bunch of cookies and stick them in his pocket. Every single shirt he had was wrecked from the oils and chocolate in them! He didn't mind all his shirts were ruined, the cookies were worth it, in his opinion. He even took some home!
Louie Anderson's line was "the sign says all you can eat, not you eat all".
If I got kicked off it would be for fighting you for eating all the cookies... ha ha ha!!
It would be smoked salmon/lox for me ($24 a pound!)
What' going on at 8:07? Looks like someone filming classic ('60s) American cars going down the street.
Love these stories
I love the idea that a clown costume triggered a mass brawl. Did he attack someone with a squirty flower?
As an american, if I saw a rule that said "no fancy dress" clothes, I'd assume that meant no formal clothing like a button up shirt and suit. I had no idea that it meant no costumes in this context.
As a person who's never been on a cruise ship Iverson had friends who done this on cruise ships and had gotten banned for life they had to find another route home this is why i have a difficult time with people who do stuff like this and try to be dumb the captain on the cruise ship wasn't happy at all I'm glad i wasn't there at all the fact that my friends would do the dumbest things in general this has made me regret everything right now
It's OK, we all know idiots....... just travel with your sensible friends. You can still get drunk, have fun in anyway you wish.... but there is a line. And most people know it.
Just keep yourself or friends controlled. You can still be outrageous.... just not in front of everyone.
Make a public spectacle of yourselves, your travel options home will be different from what you planned. That's all. And it will likely be at your own expense.
Remember, that the Cruise Line can get sued for injuries and anything else that happens about. It's is not good for the Officer's KPI's, incurring more suits against the Operator and reducing profitability and general safety onboard.
Of all cruises combined I have read 200 people a year" go missing" from the ships and its very rare if they survive.
They were probably doing a TicToc video. I think that platform should be banned
“Blood Everywhere” sounds like Pennywise is trying to take a vacation
I think it's pretty safe to assume the water is deep next to the ship since it has to be dredged deep enough to allow the ship to enter.
Bit of trivia: A jail on a ship is the "brig".
Yep yep! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼
Remember when a member of the Royal Family dressed up as a member of a foreign party member. It is always important to ask someone who is responsible and levelheaded is this a good thing for me to put on go out in public.
Most daring thing I have ever done on a ship is to eat After Eight mints at half past seven!
As to fancy dress - my idea of fancy dress is a suit and tie! I’m going on a cruise - not applying for a job as a double glazing salesman or appearing in court!
I am so terrified of the ocean that I think that I would have a heart attack if I fell into the ocean while on a cruise. I dont know why people play around like that.
Thanks Emma great video as usual loved your chat wil Ilana both natural at it and i see Hudson is now in the Med
Thanks John! He is! He likes it there. 😊👍

I'm not worried about falling off, I'm more worried someone would push me over the railing. Although I suppose it's EXTREMELY rare that some random psycho tries to throw a complete stranger overboard.
It has been known to happen, on a ferry between Finland and Sweden. Several young men mysteriously vanishing within six month of each other.. It could have been a serial killer targeting young lads
I was on a cruise where a family was banned for life after an older teen caused a great deal of trouble over several days including throwing furniture off the balcony, acting out and being banned from the teen program, and ultimately couldn't keep his hands from inappropriate touching of other passengers. During the cruise. he had been supposedly moved to an inside cabin, restricted to being out of the cabin except in the company of his father, etc. The family was charged for the destruction of the cabin furniture, etc. It was suspected but not proven that an older brother was supplying the younger brother with alcohol. The police were involved prior to disembarkation. At least 2 young women were given security protection for the remainder of the cruise as the father's supervision was obviously not reliable.
Had an ancestor fall of the Mayflower. True story in the ships log. Was sighted by crew and pulled in with a navigation line.
Thanks for letting about fancy dress parties. Would have been in a panic trying to find a tux.
I think the only clowns that were involved in the fight were the clowns that were fighting 8:38
Hi Emma, If you read this please could you recommend a "first time" cruise for my Mum and I? I was looking at the Transatlantic with Cunard but I think we'll get bored at sea for 7 days.
I have done Transatlantic crossings on Cunard 3 times, the first time when I was in late 40’s. I wasn’t bored. There are a lot of things to do, even if you’re not sightseeing on foreign shores.
Carnival Mardi Gras is a fun ship that is really big. When you get your card it would be a blue card representing your first time on a carnival ship.
