    Good morning, Tony & Co. As for Carnival Cruise going to to dogs. I applaud their effort to broaden the Cruising experience to those who normally cannot enjoy such an opportunity.
    That being said, the person complaining should be grateful they have their eyesight and don't require a service dog. Furthermore, allergies or not, such an inconvenience to allow an entire group of people to have a once in a lifetime special moment is an epic lesson in humanity. Be kind. Have a gentle heart. You one day, could be afflicted with circumstances that require a service dog.

    I have a service dog to assist me
    She is a medical tool for me. We have been on 4 cruises together. I have only had one cruiser upset. He said, "it's going to sniff my crotch." As we entered the elevator. I tried to get off the elevator, but the door closed before I could exit. Everyone in the elevator moved as far away from the nut case as possible. I got off the first time the door opened. Almost everyone onboard was thrilled to see her, especially the crew. It is not easy to process the paperwork and medical requirements to sail with a service dog. The USDA certificate costs me $160 dollars for each sailing and many ports charge a fee whether I get off the ship or not. Almost all ports require a very early morning dog inspection by their agriculture department. Service dogs are not a choice but a necessity for the handler.

    Many people are allergic to cigarette smoke (and it is toxic to everyone) yet Royal Caribbean allows it in the casino and on decks that are near balconies and doors forcing people to walk through it to get from one venue to another. It pools in areas like the Centrum on smaller ships. You can easily avoid a few dogs. I have never known a dog owner to slather perfume all over their dogs thinking that it will somehow cover up the smell.

    I'm allergic to pet dander and I fully support this effort to help the disabled participate in cruising. Cruise ships are very well ventilated and I have no doubt that, if a passenger is experiencing an allergic reaction to a nearby dog, the crew would relocate that passenger to a more distant table. And I've never personally met a dog that didn't like to cruise... But how do we ensure that the dogs who are located too close to self absorbed passengers can be relocated if desired?

      I agree with you 100% as I have a grandchild with pet allergies that can lead to severe asthma. Last time he stayed at a hotel that was pet friendly, he spent 10 days in the hospital on oxygen. Not a pleasant thing for anyone, especially a child. People will side with the dogs but don't realize that allergy induced asthma is an ADA protected class, just as the blind person in need of a medical eye seeing dog. In the case of this cruiser, I believe he is over-reacting to the situation, on the other hand I think an alert that there would be so many dogs onboard would have been a good idea. No easy solutions but I'm so tired of people dismissing allergies that you can't just "take a pill" for and can become life threatening.

In this situation I don't believe it was the case. I do believe cruise line should consider people could be severely allergic to dogs and let people know ahead of time if there going to a great number of dogs on a ship, like 40, and let them decide if they want to stay booked or rebook. I don't think they should have a refund unless they actually suffer a bad reaction and wasn't warned ahead of time.

    I’m currently on Celebrity Edge. The captain sailed too close the day before we embarked. So, we got an announcement the first day that “due to environmental regs, we can no longer cruise the Napali Coast.” Of course we all found out quickly it was because the captain screwed up. We ended up with an itinerary change with an early arrival to Hilo and an extra night in Kailua Kona. I’m really disappointed that the captain violated the law, caused a lot of environmental damage in a sensitive ecosystem, and also created a negative cultural impact. That coastline is part of a state wilderness area.

      I understand why you would say that the cruise line should inform guest ahead of time. However, this is 40 dogs to thousands of people. The complainer will rarely see these dogs. This would be similar to any hotel, restaurant, or shop. Notifying other passengers, unfortunately set a president that service dogs are unusual and negative responses to them are acceptable. I understand having severe allergies. I have such a severe allergy to cigarette smoke that being in an elevator with a smoker who is not currently smoking will cause an asthma attack. When smoking was common in hotel rooms, I was always careful to get a nonsmoking room. This person could contact the cruise line and explain her allergy to them and make sure to not be seated by someone with a service dog.

    No issues with the seeing eye dogs for the blind. However this does start to go down the slippery slope of what really is and is not a service animal. The airlines had to tackle this a few years back and cruise ships may be next.

    On our last cruise on Royal, there were six sight-impaired guests with their dogs. You will never meet nicer people! And the dogs were better behaved than some of the cruisers. It was a delightful time. I will always accommodate such passengers. They made the cruise a fuller experience.

    If one is so sensitive to dogs that being near a person that's touched a dog will give them an allergic reaction, they should disclose that sever sensitivity prior to booking a cruise so they can be accommodated.

      If they are standing in line next to a person that has dogs and cats, whose fault is that? They're going to get a reaction to the dander on their clothes. Where do you draw the line? Carnival needs to stand their ground.

      @@robertb7864 I think this whole complaint has been blown out of proportion. Yes, some people are allergic to pet dander but, I don't believe the blind person will be going to dinner or anywhere else covered in dog hair. That said, if the complainer wants to rebook on a different sailing, Carnival should accommodate them. If not, they will be looking to be upset and be a pain in the rear for the crew. As my granny said, it's better to have an empty house than an angry tenant.

    Carnival probably should have advised cruisers prior to purchasing that there would be 40 dogs on the ship just as a courtesy. I’m sure the 40 blind people had a wonderful time and kudos to Carnival for doing this!

      I disagree too, politely. First of all, on a ship with 4000 guests and 2500 crew, 40 dogs is pretty small. You should live in my community, where the population is mainly seniors--EVERYBODY has dogs! 🤣And I love them all.

    On one of my cruises, after having an incident with a distant family dog that lurched at me and cause me to have a broken wrist, there was a dog in the buffet a couple of tables away from me. Now I was raised with dogs, and it took me awhile to get over being hesitant around dogs and I had to take a deep breath and try and enjoy my meal. Let me just say, that I have met quite a few people that have brought dogs with them, and they do try to stay away from the general public as much as possible. It's been a few years and now it doesn't bother me. Heck, I've seen as many dogs on airplanes as I have on a cruise ship! Thanks for sharing!

    He has a point about being allergic to dogs. All passengers should have be informed well before the cruise so those allergic could change at no cost their cruise to one with fewer dogs. I personally would not care if there were 140 dogs on board I am a dog person. I just think he should have had an option to sail or not sail. Does he deserve a refund., probably not. Did he have an adverse reaction to the dogs ? he doesn't say, so I would guess no . Did need to see the ships medical staff ? he doesn't say so I guess no. How exactly was his cruises impacted negatively? No refund for him.

She loves it as a veterinarian, she watches the Iditarod dog sled races each year & she’s a huge fan of the wildlife. I’d say to anyone wanting to go, it’s def worth the trip at least once based of her experience.

    We are on Edge right now and were there when Captain Matt sailed way too close to the shoreline. The captain mocked the regulations and getting fined in the theatre the night after the cruise. He seemed proud of getting us 300 yards from shore. The next cruise, which we are also on, we all got a disingenuous letter from Celebrity claiming that because of local regulations we would not be sailing past Na Pali coast and last minute port changes were announced. Most everyone knew that the true story was that Edge was banned from returning because the captain broke the law. Many are upset, not only with the last minute port changes but Celebrity’s dishonesty about the reasons. You can’t lie in this day and age. There are photos and videos of it all.

    A email should have been sent out to everyone booked on that cruise stating that accommodations are be made for our disabled cruiser and 40 seeing eye dogs will be on the cruise. That way, anyone with allergies would have known in advice and given options to move bookings. Surprisingly, a lot of people have allergies to dogs and are life-threatening.

    It's not that we are being unsympathetic towards blind people, but I myself am allergic to animal hair.
    It makes me itch and sneeze uncontrollably! I can't describe how miserable it is.
    It is not too much to ask that sailors are informed via website or customer service calls if there are animals on a particular cruise. This way people can opt to cruise on another ship, or at another time.
    This is not a stupid issue. Carnival and all other cruise ships need to be considerate of everyone's issues. ❤

    Good on HA. You’re right, the number crunchers have practically assured the company that they’ll not have to pay out the 15%. But even if they do, a discount on a cruise is not going to break them. In fact, the recipients of said discount will most likely spend more onboard.

  • @lelandnanny967
    @lelandnanny967 Місяць тому +4

    The cruise company should notify everyone of the presence of large numbers of any type of animal onboard. Those with problems with animal dander should be able to make other arrangements without penalty. Your rights end where my rights are infringed. I have no such problem, but I would not sail on a ship with numerous animals onboard.

  • @QueenKayKay47

  • @alikefrogz
    @alikefrogz Місяць тому +4

    Not a debate as to if the 40 dogs should be allowed, obviously they should but If you are allergic 40 dogs IS a lot. I do think they should be offered a refund. I think some of the post was rude the way it was worded but if someone is an allergy sufferer 40 dogs would be unbearable and allergic guests should be offered a FCC. Usually a cruise may have what maximum 3 seeing eye dogs, right? But a cruise with 40 dogs would surely make allergies flare up. My grandma was allergic to cats and her whole face would swell, her eyes would almost swell shut from cats.
