You are so right…

We just subscribed to your Travel News channel, we already love your Ship Life channel. We travel mostly by RV, but on occasion we fly & cruise. Keep up the great work.
Royal Caribbean needed to have a security person who has done and work with those same artists and knows how to separate and manage the artist and their guess/awnturage. Or an executive protection specialiist who knows how to manage , apply mitigation to set awnturage and artist.
No matter what culture. It does not give you the right to behave terribly towards other guests.
Absolutely correct
I'm the 125th thumbs
Just look at what a certain culture is doing in the major cities around the world
Yeah.... But it's always the same one🤦🏾♂️
We know who they are
As a black man and lover of old school rap, I wouldn't go to a hiphop/rap house party or club, let alone a cruise. I value my existence!
I’m a white female 66 years old. The OG rap is so much better than today’s stuff. It’s like they grab a reasonably talented kid off the street make a few songs for Spotify then move on. It’s like the artistry and musicianship is mostly gone. Rock and roll died a long time ago so I guess nothing good lasts forever.
on the short videos, seems EVERY one is using some terrible, electro, synthetic rap "song". Sometimes staying home, may be what saved your life, (you didn't crash your car, weren't robbed, carjacked etc.)but we'll never know.
Shit done changed for the worse. I refer to it as gang music, ushered in by NWA. I was 20 when I first heard them and I was captivated as well as my friends. I'm the only one of my 5 friends still alive or not in prison. The gang music today is 100 times as worse as NWA. My advice is to stay as far away from any venue promoting this music.
Nor, would I, it will attract a certain type of people who will ruin in. Black woman here and I LOVE Jadakiss, I'm a day one fan with him and the Lox. However, I'll listen on Tidal lol!
If this happened on a Carnival cruise, it would be front page news. But Royal.....they must have a top notch PR team.
Shame on Royal for not doing a better job checking passengers for drugs.
Exactly
I agreed 1000%
Oh please! Carnival is notorious for this foolishness, Royal isn't. PR ain't got jack to do with it!
Carnival draw ppl like this its COMMON
@@phoebeanthony8094but it’s Royal 😱
I’m usually in my room by 11 pm I don’t stay out at night, but I’m up by sunrise and up on the pool deck with my coffee taking pictures of the sunrise thanks for the up date
Doesn't matter what kind of group it was, if you violate the rules of the ship, off you go.
I've never sailed on Royal but if the guests were informed about taking certain things on board then they really have no excuse. If there's a court case, I hope it gets thrown out.
Thank you for your comments and perspective. This was mine and my husband’s first cruise and we had a great time! We must be oblivious, because we never smelled pot. Granted, we were so busy all day long we were too tired to go out drinking at night (we are a retired couple) It was pretty hard to miss the group in question on the first day because of their red & yellow t-shirts and joked with many in the group about being incognito the rest of the cruise. Being as it was our first cruise, we checked to see what was allowed on board. I thought RC was pretty up front about drugs not being allowed, although you do need to read the information that is sent and I’ll sure a lot of people don’t bother. I’m sorry some people had such a terrible time. 😢 The question is, who is responsible for people’s actions? I was taught I am responsible for my own behavior.
Appreciate your unbiased perspective
So sad when a group makes a bad name for all groups. There was a large stepper group on my last cruise and the people were great, kind, social and added to the entertainment
Jadakiss that boy, one of the most underrated rappers.
It’s too bad that other cruisers can’t find out that there’s going to be a big group cruise onboard before they book. No matter what kind of group it is. I have scene this at a smaller scale and can see it ruining for others and it can take 10 or 20 out of 600 to make them all look bad
I don’t care what the demographics of a group are. I would just rather not cruise when extra large groups are on board. I’m not a fan of large crowds.
TRUE!!!!@@Jazzykatt23
@@Jazzykatt23 that's not me. If I know there's going to be some YA WHOOOOOOOO redneck country singer I 100% know there's going to be drunk rednecks running around fighting and being loud same goes for the new rap music it's going to attract ghetto people. it's just how it is.
@@Jazzykatt23 me too. It always feels like when there is a really group on board that you are intruding in on their party at the entertainment venues and in the WJ etc.
Oh I would be pissed off if I got onboard and discovered any kind of massive group onboard as no matter what sector of society they’re from they will take over parts of the boat just because they are a group and are wanting to do the same thing at the same time
Who would have thought Pookie and Kwame G's Posse would cause problems
I wish I knew there was gonna be a group cruise like that so I would never be on board. Save myself a lot of time and headache and the possibility of ruining my vacation. I'm not into group confusion
I've snuck my share of weed on to a cruise in the past. I would go to a quite part of the ship on the stern after dinner to have a little. This last cruise I went on, I took some Gummies and some tinture. Didn't bother anyone and I was able to keep myself on an even keal!
Can you tell me when and where they got kicked off? Which day of the cruise?
People are not fighting on Mary Jane.It's the alcohol and other drugs
Royal and Carnival should post notices beforehand when there will be a gangster cruise so regular passengers can make other arrangements.
I love it when you give us the tea!!!
Lol I was acctually on this cruise, my dad was part of the paradise island group. In the arcade machine in the beginning of the video I was there when it happened and the people that did it I was friends with them, unfortunately my brother was apart of breaking the machine. Overall the cruise was ok Ive definitely been on better ones.
Mama always told me that if you lay down with dogs, you gonna get up with fleas. So Royal Carribean, what tha HECK did you expect?
Legally, I don't think RCL could do anything preemptive to keep such a large group off the ship initially, because that would be seen as discriminatory. So, the only solution is to let them sail, and if there is a problem the rowdy group can be banned from any future cruises.
…..but; it should have been handled on day 1, not day 7.
How in the world did I miss this! CRAZY!
Congratulations on your new channels!
I am having a hard time finding your newest Channel. Would you please provide a link. Thank you
Sure!
ua-cam.com/video/4b2baapGzSI/v-deo.htmlsi=7Uk8BcWQbH7XIBQm
Great video, you spoke the truth!!
They must have removed that Facebook page you mentioned. I can't find it anywhere.
I was thinking Floriduuuuh,They all have to be from Floriduuuuh.
My husband would be LIVID. I'm so highly allergic to weed that it is a hospital trip for me to get any of it on or in me. We stopped going to Colorado when they legalized it because we just can't take the chance. We're very loyal RC cruisers and this would be something I knew RC was particular about keeping off the ship. Honestly, I don't know what would have happened if that had hit me on the ship. We do travel with an Epi pen for such emergencies but I would have had to move into the infirmary to stay safe, I guess. It's not that I'm demanding others not do it, it's the cruise lines and the ports they go to who have the demand and we have felt safe cruising. It scares me that people have no more regard for the rules than to just say "Oh well, I can do it."
Sad.
Jadakiss??! Is he still relevant? I didn't even know he was still alive. WOW!
I was on that sailing. It was the worst I’ve ever seen. There was everything from pot, loud Bluetooth speakers, dirty diapers being left in the hallways (I have photos). It was a complete disaster.
Thanks for at least posting a couple of details besides "It was horrible!"
That’s why I only sail MSC. They keep it classy.
Can you please leave text up on the screen longer?
Was Jadakiss kicked off the cruise ship as well?
I have always cruised on the Royal Carribean. I am taking my first Carnival cruise in December 2023, Carnival Valor out of NOLA, a group cruise. I've watched your videos about other Carnivalcruise lines. Can you do video about the Carnival Valor?
My wife and I cruised on the Carnival Valor out of New Orleans in August '22. The smell of weed was EVERYWHERE we went. I complained via email to Carnival and mentioned this many times in the survey.
I was on that cruise. The DellWay travel group acted like they owned the ship. Literally smoked weed in the elevators and never once offered to share! My only beef with them was when they blasted music through awful speakers while completely taking over the Solarium. Royal provides steel drum players and entertainment. I don't need to hear your blown out speakers competing with the professional entertainment that I paid for. Pro Tip: Dodge any cruise that the Dell Way travel group is attending. Portable speakers should be banned, and weed should be shared. Puff puff pass!
Thank God it wasn't carnival ffs!
On that cruise ship you had the viral video of the overweight white guy in tight tight speedos shoving a chair out of the way with a person in it😂😂
@@slimpickens01 Oh wow I'm look that up.
Now what in the Royal Caribbean is going on here?
I like your channel but you really didn’t say much about what happened.
Jay, cant find the link to the new channel - please send
the kiss of death indeed. lol akkkkkahhh
Sometimes, you never know what you're walking into. Keep on Keepin' on!
Take that mess back to Carnival.Royal and Norwegian CLASSY
I guess this is why Jadakiss is as hard as it gets.
I have to say, this was such an INACCURATE version of what happened. Let start with the fact that Jadakiss had NOTHING to do with ANYTHING that happened on the ship. Through all of the complaints posted online, his name was NEVER mentioned in regards to any issues.
The Paradise Island Cruise group has been cruising for years. They are a well established company, that cruise annually and bring people together like family.
Yes there were people smoking weed, but it was not the whole group. Nor did 300 people get put off the ship. All of this "information" you're repeating is false. This "information" is coming from a group of racist individuals who referred to black people as ghetto, ratchet, inner city Chicago people and jungle people. There were claims of twerking contests and the video posted was a few black people in the jacuzzi with one young lady dancing by herself (not twerking) and even the other peope who commented said the young lady was not twerking nor was she doing anything offensive.
It's crazy how you can report a.k.a. repeat what was posted in a fb group, but never bothered to confirm the accuracies. Those people in the fb group were just upset to see such a large group of black people in a space that they felt should've been theirs.
And fyi, the only "goons" on the boat, were the clear colored ones who didn't speak back when spoken to (good morning), who refused to get on the elevator with only black people on it and the ones who think it's ok to call us out of our names.
Thank you Simone. Ppl will do anything for views and clicks.
this is unfortunate for many people on that cruise. how do you know if there is a massive party or group of people booked? there should be a way to know beforehand as i'm sure some people would have opted out of this sail had they known.
DJ Grandmaster Flash
lolol jadakiss is the GOAT
Take abreath bro'.
Where’s the ‘what in the Royal Caribbean is going on’ comment?
I have no sympathy for the ones kicked off, if you can't follow simple rules then don't travel.
Absolutely!
You’re absolutely right about that! They don’t follow the rules and now, they’re breaking the rules.
I agree
This was a lie there was not people who got kicked off the cruise, no fights, and it was a very organized group from what I saw. One Love.
@@matthewstevenson2895 I was suspecting the whole thing was a rumor, but I'm 100% sure we had to arrive at our 2nd port early due to a medical emergency. There's 2 rumors that were floating around 1. it was a teen that fell from the gangway 2. it was a fight and a man got jumped at the basketball court
Either way, those who heard the announcement for "code __" or whatever they announce heard it being announced to a stateroom.
You're reporting as you see it. Couple that with your personal work and travel experiences and you provide content that is unmatched. This is why I love your blogs. Thank you!
For this video I trust none of your credibility because it was all a lie and this is the first time I've seen one of your videos. Get your facts together first before you do another video. One Love
He wasn’t even on the ship to report news😂
@@matthewstevenson2895 resource supporting it was a lie?
As a black woman, I don't feel you were too harsh at all. You were honest and truthful. This event would have ruined the cruise for me too. I can't stand the smell of weed and would hate to smell it while relaxing on my balcony. It's sad that now all cruise lines need to have more intensive screening prior to boarding but I would approve of it to prevent something like this from happening. The fact that people can't go 3-7 days without weed is an addiction and that needs to be addressed.
100% agreed. If you can't go a week without weed you need serious help. That means there's mental stress/anxiety, demons or whatever else your battling that might need more than a plant to cure.
@@SeanJ2A If you've got to have it, bring gummies then you are not inflicting the smell on others.
Exactly. Add to that the families that had small children onboard - they definitely did not want their little ones inhaling the pot. Same for older folks especially those with breathing type issues.
yeah, I was on the cruise and was part of the Facebook group he mentioned in the video. People were trying to make it a race thing in the discussion which they don't realize shows THEIR true colors. Being ratchet / ghetto isn't a race. It can apply to any race who wants to be in this "party" mode while smoking out.
My wife and I hung out with a few from the travel group and it's not like they all knew each other or condoned each other's behavior. There were even people within the travel group shaking their heads and being annoyed from the party crowd.
As a White woman I wonder why it is important at to you to let us know you are black. I thought we were all the same. At least that is what I have been taught all my life. Apparently not you - and I here it is 2023, for crying out loud!!
A friend who was on the cruise 🚢 said it was very “ghetto”. Who in their right mind will pay thousands to be around that. No thanks. 👍🏿
Based on what I’ve heard about this, I would not have wanted to have my family on this sailing. Race and music genre aside, what it boils down to is people who have not been taught how to behave in public. My mom was a single mother of four back in the 70’s and she worked her butt off. But she still found time to teach us how to behave properly and be responsible, respectful human beings. Apparently, there are a lot of moms out there who failed at instilling basic values in their children.
It is so true, this group of young people and many others do NOT know how to behave in public. Some parents have let their children take the lead of the household. These children are left to raise themselves and this is obviously not working.
Spare me the BS! In a SUBURBAN town outside of Atlanta a white owned restaurant grew tired of parents allowing their kids to misbehave in public so they simply add a fee those customers bill. Hint its a predominantly white customer base.
Not just mothers, any adult raising children - mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, guardians, and so on.
I took my girlfriend to what once was a nice area in a big city. It's all overrun by those Rap Type people. I feared for my life.
@@erikh9991 feared for your life? be so serious
Now what in the Royal Caribbean is going on here?
Thank you I’m glad you said it
Carnival JR
People are just out of their damn minds!!! Why go on a cruise if you don’t know how to act??? I just don’t get it.
It's what they do regardless of where they are at..
You take yourself whatever you go😉
They literally have no clue how to carry themselves.
Because the world is full of idiots and sadly, they’re outnumbering the useful folk. 😫
600 of 5,000 people could easily ruin the cruise for the other 4,400. I hope if this is true they are lifetine banned and placed on a list shared with other cruise companies. I believe their passports has all the information needed.
Sounds like a permanent “no sail order” should be instituted. Like the airlines, never let them cruise again, anywhere. If the cruise lines need a database entry group, I am in early retirement and I’ve got lots of time, I’d be glad to assist in compiling the data. 📊
That group booked they're next cruise on Independence of the seas.
@@roxannechapa2131yup. I canceled. Not gonna be around that depravity.
The Scott Adams sailing is much better
As long as they overlook the rules because of money, you’ll have problems. Carnival uses drug sniffing dogs now,so that crowd is like, let’s go on royal, they don’t enforce anything. As long as money is all the cruise line wants, the problems will follow. I watched a mall near Pittsburgh slowly deteriorate because they let the problems continue unabated. People no longer felt safe going there. The mall was once second to the mall of America. It is now vacant and due to torn down. Just google century 3 mall. It’s truly a shame, but it is proof of what can happen when chasing money is more important that anything else. How many customers did Royal lose forever because of a horrible experience.
We just got off carnival and there was a whole deck smoking weed.. those dogs don’t catch everything.. it was terrible.. so thinking the dogs really did not work
In my evacuation I suggested RC get drug sniffing dogs on the ship.
@@roxannechapa2131 evacuation? Did you leave the ship too?
You think they acted the way they acted because of money?
Honestly more people buy products online now. Many malls are shutting down. Companies are supporting it because it means they will only have factory workers. Plus there’s more stuff online than the walk in stores.
I was on that cruise. It was October 15th not Aug. Pot smell everywhere. The red shirt group from from NY. Yes they were obnoxious but I didn't let it ruin my vacation. I just moved to a different area. Most of the people out of Galvaston are from Texas and we're pretty chill no matter what color you are. This group was loud and rude. I personally didn't see anyone get kicked off but I did notice on the 6th night it was really quiet and we were finally able to enjoy the solarium and hot tub.
Ok so if you was on the cruise why yall not talking about the white boy that got kicked off the ship for having all that coke?
I didn't see that. Someone should have reported him.
I was there too and agree with you exactly. I just moved on. There were lots of other places to go to. I thought it seemed a bit empty towards the end! I loved this cruise!
@@malindakdid they kick the 600 black people off with the white dude ?
I was on this sailing, and everything you’re saying is very accurate. It was just horrible and disgusting what the people in the group were doing. 600 people in that group - approximately 300 permanently kicked off the ship in the ports. Just completely deplorable. It started Day One with the aroma of pot in many areas onboard (and went on all week long), and then their behavior just got worse all week long.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m alone and older and it takes me awhile to go on a cruise. Like every three years. I’d be heartbroken if this happened. I’d want all my money back.
HMMMM..SADD THE CRUISE WAS RUINED' FOR SOME. I AM MAKING MY PLANS NOW. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF 'EVERYONE RESPECTED OTHERS...SPACE...WHICH IS DIFFICULT ON BOARD...
I am honestly flabbergasted...
@@snowbunny1066 Don’t let this stop you. I was sailing solo also, and had to learn quick what areas those people were in to stay away from them. Now that meant I didn’t get to enjoy all areas onboard, but I did not want to become engaged near their bad behavior let alone have them beat me up like they did multiple “good” guests.
I’m sorry your trip was ruined
I’m recently on board the beautiful Oddesy of the Seas for Royal Caribbean. This is a transatlantic cruise from Rome ti Miami USA. The vacation started of great but I had an experience that I never thought would happen. While in Rome I mixed up the dates to board the ship. Once I arrived at the cruise port me and my brother found out we missed the ship! Because I watch this channel I had something to refer to what to do. Now Royal did everything in their power to make sure that I boarded when I was supposed to. And I have to give a special thanks to the port authority workers because they went the extra mile to help us catch the ship. The people from Royal thought the next chance was for us to catch the ship in Spain. However the port authority personnel found out the ship was then stationed in La Pienza which was 3 hour drive and was a possibility to make it. Me and my brother did catch the ship and boarded the ship. We did miss out on the first day of the cruise but we are feeling grateful to the people that stepped up and helped us get on board the ship.
Ah that's a real shame that you missed the first day - we are currently on this cruise (Odyssey Of the Seas, Civitavecchia to Fort Lauderdale). At least you got on eventually.
@@losfp yeah we are happy we made it on board too. We love to cruise unfortunately we mixed up the dates. We thought it was going to be Saturday when they boarded. But we had a drive through Italy to catch up to the ship.
We were on this cruise but NOT apart of the 600 group. It was crazy seeing (& smelling all that weed) all over the ship. It's really sad when others don't follow the rules and no respect for them or others. Our email back from Royal was basically saying sorry for such a bad experience and how this wasn't a normal cruise experience, which we do agree, we've sailed with Royal before & 2 other cruise lines (even Carnival). We have already booked our next cruise, but thank you for making this video for the world to see. We'll have our verison/experience first hand of this cruise on our channel soon. Safe travels.
What did you expect though? And I'm not trying to be rude, I'm curious. Were you expecting it to be a normal cruise?
That’s when you don’t care and respect others. They shouldn’t be able to board
@@jevindayThey were probably expecting a normal cruise without all this.
@@TheJscottbpsmith well they expected wrong lol
I'VE MADE UP MY MIND BECAUSE I LOVE TO CRUISE. IF I ENCOUNTER EITHER IN PERSON OR OFFGASSING, ANY EXPOSURE TO THAT USELESS, SKANK WEED, I'M SUING THE CRUISE LINE AND CAPTAIN.....IT'S JUST A SHAME THAT THESE FOLKS NOW HAVE THE "DISCRETIONARY INCOME" TO BE ABLE TO CRUISE AND RUIN MY VACATION!!!
I was on the cruise and it was total chaos from a lot of the members of that group. I now have the website of the travel agent who hosted it and I will check it before I book another cruise.
Lawd, was it Melanin at Sea?
@@juzneen2755excuse me? I don't see the point of your comment...
@losoraith She just wants the name of the travel agent.
Dell Way Travel
@losoraith Thanks. Have you seen any of the actual videos? I have not, but would like to.
A group like this can ruin a cruise of a lifetime for many people who save up all year to just hang out relax and have a good time without stoned out rappers with 500 pounds of gold chains around their necks and a deed to a diamond mine in their pocket. Do you think for one minute anyone of them thought about other cruisers. Definitely not! It was all about them taking over the ship. My cousin was on that cruise with his wife and kids said it was like a gangster rap cruise. It ruined it for him and his whole family. They were loud disrespectful rude and broke a ton of rules. Don't get me wrong i like and listen to rap but i draw the line when anyone tries to sabotage other people's rights.
Exactly!
I had to save up for a 6-night on Allure with my family. I gotta say, I don't usually make a big deal out of things but I would have been complaining and racking up whatever I could get in FFC, etc. That trip was too expensive per night between drinks and fare to let people ruin it.
Kind of like the people on Jan. 6th at the capital who were on a tour so they say!
It was bad enough when I went in the middle of Spring Break. I'm not a rap fan and every single bar had it blasting. So I never put myself in that situation again. But if I was blindsided by 600 rap fans on top of attitude, the cruise director as well as customer service would have gotten tired of seeing me coming.
Absolutely - Some people are truly inconsiderate - it's another sign of the times
Thanks Jay. Adults should behave like adults in all situations; unfortunately, far too often, they are bad example adults. I took my very first cruise earlier this year. I'm in my 60s, and honestly, didn't have to be told what is acceptable behaviour or items to bring/not onboard. Many of the UA-cam cruise channel hosts have their own group cruises and don't report anything but decorum and frivolity and a good time for all. So how 300 people could be so disruptive, well, disappointing.
Mob mentality, immaturity (regardless of the age), and copycatting. That's how 300 people could be so disruptive.
We were on this cruise…. Yeah that smell was everywhere but didn’t see the fights that some people reported. We had pleasant exchanges with people of that group! So other than the drug smells all was ok for us
I just watched twice and you never addressed what
specifically happened.
His analysis seems very misinformed and anti-Black. He condemned an entire group of ppl and culture he claims to love while simultaneously encouraging the generational divide. As if the content & context of rap hasn’t been the same since the mid-80s 😒 not at all impressed.
@@ashleighs3174 the only person in the comment section with sense!! he clearly has a demographic type he is trying to appeal to, talking about vetting who can spend their money for certain vacations, and all the racists in the comments eating it up...definitely wont be follow this channel
You talked for 10 minutes and didnt say anything about what happened.
Literally. It was getting close to the end of this video when I realized I still don’t know what happened.
This! What is there to have an opinion on? He didn’t really say much outside there was a rap group on board that wore red and people smelled weed.
shut your old ass up
Thank you for covering this. A friend of mine was telling me about this a couple of weeks ago because her friend was on this cruise. I immediately googled RC & went through a bunch of Facebook pages & saw nothing. I then came here & saw you hadn’t covered it so I figured it was fabricated or embellished. She brought it up again today & here you are talking about it.
We were on Allure the week before, it was the country music festival and even that crowd created a noticeable difference in the Vibe. I think it is more about the fact that these group cruises bring on many new cruisers who have a different expectation is all. Wish they would let you know these groups will be there before you book!
Absolutely. I have been in situations where a similarly-minded groups really shift the vibe. And not just on a cruise. We went to Nashville one weekend and a group of associated moms (I am a mom, but the these were moms who had an air of superiority due to the type of association they belonged to) were lining the streets and bars judging everyone who was dancing or having fun - dirty looks, loud comments about dress. It made every where we went feel dead and dreary - not at all like Nashville. We found a old hole in the wall they would never go in to and had a much better time.
Every person booked should receive a notice if there is any group over a certain number. That way, people have the information and can decide if that's the type of crowd they want around their families.
@@MJ-gj6mjthat's ridiculous. It's As ridiculous as a white person claiming to fear being around black people but yet travels to predominantly black Caribbean nations. You can miss me with your BS!!
Man, you just keep getting bigger and bigger congrats on your success! Been riding with Shiplife since 5k. Subbed to your new channel as well.
It's really not difficult to follow the rules...
Honestly people who create these issues are idiots ! Lol
U know people don't have common sense on cruise ships in 2023 😔
It is for some.
Facts
@@TexasTribleChief not all people. Some people.
I don't understand the mentality of people that smoke weed. Everyone knows that it smells like skunk and that most people that don't partake can not stand that smell. It is beyond selfish and rude to subject others to that. If you can't go a week without your drugs, then you need help.
But then the same can be said about tobacco products.
Tobacco and alcohol are the same
Omg stfu , literally beer heads and tobacco puffer's smell worse. But sure you mentality is narrow minded.
I'd be pssd if I thought I was going to be on a non smoking trip and I don't care what kind of smoke it is. Even from a BBQ. But I'm smoke sensitive, allergic reactions
@@ricktaylor5397 Yes, and people should be able to go a week without a cigarette. Too many let addiction run their lives. But most smokers are a bit more considerate and stick to smoking in the smoking section. Clearly that wasn't the case for these weed smokers.
When you can't control yourself and feel like you HAVE to smoke, even in places that you are not supposed to, then you have a serious problem.
My wife and I were booked on this very cruise. It was our yearly "Anniversary Cruise" and was to be our third time on the Allure Of The Seas. However, my wife ended up being admitted to the hospital a few days prior to embarkation and we were not able to go. From the sounds of things, I'm glad we missed it. We had sailed on the Allure twice... November of last year (its very first sailing from Galveston) and May of this year. Both of those cruises were wonderful. We're already booked on the Harmony Of The Seas, which has since replaced the Allure in Galveston.
We just got off Harmony’s maiden voyage from Galveston. Already went to the Next Cruise deck for our next one!
Last year when I was on the Kiss Kruise, Gene Simmons said when he was being interviewed in the main theater, he said he was proud of everyone. There were no fights or major security problems on the ship!
That's because KISS and their fans are old
Thats true!@@birdsinparadise3113
Because us kiss fans are old geezers now 😂😂😂
@@sheryljeanne That's true!
Congrats J!!! Subscribed as soon as I heard you had a new channel. Looking forward to a lots of great content as you always bring!
Thank you!
Just subscribed to your new travel news channel, J. Keep em coming!
I don't live in a drug-infested ghetto or lead a drug-infested ghetto life. I don't want to pay thousands of dollars to have a drug-infested ghetto vacation.
Amen 🙏🏿
I guffawed at ‘He doesn’t really hit like he used to’🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Would it be a good idea to see if a large group is chartered for a cruise beforehand? Is there a way to do that?
Love your channel, J! Keep being you and ignore the haters. You try to present both sides of an issue which not many video producers do!
I am on the Allure right now, just talked to a crew member. He advised that there were 750 people in the group and 300 got thrown off before they ever left the dock. They were all at the pool smoking weed and it was also found in a lot of their luggage. The Rapper and the rest were allowed to stay on board.
Interesting, but it doesn't explain everyone smelling it during the cruise. Sounds like a cover story to paper over the awful experience.
A group Cruise should rent their own private boat
Just gotta say…First, thank you for this info, Jay. You tell it like it is, no apologies! But…as a 74 yr. old woman who was a little flower girl/hippie in the S.F. Bay Area back in the late 1960’s and 70’s, and saw my share of drug users and potheads, I can honestly say that not once did I see anyone loaded on pot become belligerent. In fact, I’d rather smell marijuana and believe all I’ve got around me are mellow potheads, then ever be around alcoholics, speed freaks, crack heads, and that lot! And the cruise lines love it when people drink Al hook. Add that to other drugs, and you’ve got big trouble! I’m guessing that just because the smell of marijuana was evident, there were a lot heavier drugs and a lot of alcohol being used on that cruise! It’s really a shame, because no doubt there were some folks onboard, perhaps even those who were part of the lager group, who were first time cruisers and, after what went down, they may never want to cruise again. On a specific cruise we took, as we and hundreds of others waited for the passengers of the previous cruise to debark, we found out why we were not able to board until hours after we should have: the cruise that had just docked had been on Super Bowl weekend, and a lot of the fans of one of the teams had created chaos and trouble, including fights and..guns!! Yes guns!! When the ship docked, the local police boarded and busted A LOT of those fans. Of course, the crew was told not to talk about it, but we did have one crew member tell us it had been just awful and she felt so bad for the other passengers. I’m not sure there’s any real way to prevent these scenes from happening. However, I do know that from then on out, whenever we would talk to a cruise line about taking one of their cruises, I always asked if there were going to be any big groups and who they were…and steered clear of those with large groups!
I so agree with you , that is so disrespectful, ruining cruising for other people.
For the cost of that ship?! I can't even imagine the level of disappointment for all those children and seniors onboard with lung issues :(
Us Carnival loyalists watching with a smug grin…’what in the Royal is going on here?’ 😂
Some people just can't leave the hood behind.
What does that mean. I can guarantee that Jadakiss net worth is 100x more than yours. Ignorant ass
Add the trailer park too. Seen too much dumb shyte with drunk rednecks who feel comfortable talking shyte
We shouldn’t make excuses or rationalize bad behavior and fwiw, I don’t want to spend my money to be around people behaving badly.
Epic fail on the part or whoever booked them and Royal.. it's common sense that a rapper or a rapper group would indeed bring Mary J along with... They should have been made aware if they weren't already before they purchased like hey you guys can't bring any of this with you You will be kicked off. This way they are already aware of it and if they do it anyways it's on them.
October 15 to 22?? I was on that cruise and all over I didn't see a thing. Worst 2 things rain storm at Honduras and a ruckus group at hot tub in Solarium that seemed way wasted early before noon. Yes they looked like new school hip-hop crowd. But that was it. Maybe wrong cruise date. And by the way I was all over the ship and partying until late. No smell of ganja, maybe it was on some floors? I was 8th floor balcony.
I just got back from Navigator of the Seas, Royal Caribbean. I know life happens but it's how it's handled. Let's just say I'm done with Royal at least Navigator. It was handled horribly.
Did something similar happen on the Navigator?
Im Done with Royal Caribbean the cutbacks are horrible the food has become shite 😢
@@darrencarr9176 I definitely agree.
I believe it. I went on a cruise in October of 2016 on Carnival and there was a large group there headed by a travel agency called Dell Way Travel And guess who was with them.. Jadakiss! I called them "Blue Bands" because they all wore blue bands on thier wrist to signify they were part of the same group and to get into thier private parties. I guess they switched it up and are now the "red shirts". Idk Anyway they were very ghetto!! Loud, Rude, High, Drunk, ....Stank. They were skipping lines, vomiting at the pool, just acting belligerent. Jadakiss wasnt acting that way though. He just seemed like he was paid to be there. If this is the same group which I highly suspect it is im not surprised. But im glad RC upheld their standards and removed them. Carnival didnt care.
Yes, it was the exact same group. Paradise Island Cruise, by Dell Way Travel. Rumor was that they were banned from Carnival, which is why they chose Royal Caribbean.
The final sea day of the cruise was actually somewhat normal for a Royal Caribbean cruise. Getting rid of those 300 people made a big difference!
Found this about Dell Way:

Well no excuses for disrupting behavior,rowdiness and whatever else was going on, as far as the smell of marijuana, I recently returned from S Carolina and visited the newly opened International African American museum and one of the exhibits contained a quote from a British captain who was appalled with the slave trade he went on to say that if the wind was right you could smell the slave ship before seeing it ,I don’t know what is worse that or the fact that sharks 🦈 followed the ships to capitalize on the dead sick and dying that were thrown overboard, just keep in mind that cruising today is not as exclusive as in years past which means you are going to get a larger cross section of society and all of the lifestyles good bad ugly and downright disgusting behavior, but after visiting that museum how could I ever complain about behavior on a ship know what those who endured the tyranny of the slave trade
When they have a group cruise, the ship should not be opened to the public, the group needs to charter the ship by themselves.
Thanks for bringing this to light in an honest conversation. I would absolutely lose it if this happened on my sailing.
Thank you for all that you do. I hope this will be a lesson to others. It is so embarrassing to see my family of tan misbehaving.
Wow, out of a 9 minute video it took until minute 6 for you to get to the story and then not even talk about it.
I went to the page on Facebook and Jay they are saying this is not true. There were people smoking weed left and right but nobody was put off and if so it was not 300 maybe 15. I looked everywhere and there is nothing.
Too late, you know the racist ws or should I say 'them folks' salivate and go into a frenzy when they hear anything negative about black folks, they will believe whatever even when it's blatantly false. All the comments are saying how the host is right and good for him for 'telling the truth'.. Yet these same Mzungus will want to curse you out when you mention that Jane Elliott tells the truth about her fellow white people. They then say she's a disgrace to her race. 😂😂 It's 'the truth' when it's about black people and a betrayal of their own race when it comes to white people
Ok, but you didn’t actually tell us who got kicked off, or way exactly or what happened to the ones that got kicked off. Were they just just dumped in some port and responsible for getting themselves back home? It seems MJ on it’s own wouldn’t be enough for that.
It’s false information. Click bait to promote his new channel.
I was too on this sailing and you are so correct. Thank you fornyour thoughts and RCCL has already responded to my email and they are going to do nothing about it. Thanks again great job.
That is unacceptable- I'd be furious! We just booked our 1st cruise...close to $ 4,000- I'd be raising cane with the company if this happened to me.
I wanted to add my 2 cents worth (with inflation that's worth zero). Anyway, this is not just planned large groups. My first cruise last year out of New Orleans was eye opening. I was with my bestie of 42 years. We are down right lovers of all music and dancing. We found out real quick that a large group of friends/family were on this cruise together. They did everything entourage style. Everywhere they showed up, they took over...literally. The worst was the dance club. At 11, all of us cruisers of a whole variety of sizes, shapes, and colors were out dancing and singing. They came in, got their drinks, and insinuated themselves onto everyone sitting along the bar along the floor. Then they stood around the whole dance floor like security guards. Then the rest of the group took over the floor and music. The only way in was a little slot over by the dj. It was truly odd. This happened the 1st 2 nights. We finally decided to just go make fools of our own selves out by the pool dance little spot. Night 4 we went because it was supposed to be oldies night. At 9...it was not. I don't know why it is okay. One group of 25/30 people changed a whole cruise for hundreds of others. I avoid that ship now since that music venue is apparently off limits.
One bad apple can spoil a whole bunch. I too love music, but there are a few select types,I just can’t stand. We know what it is.
We were on this cruise 🚢
Thank you for putting a video, it was crazy! We were on this cruise with a group of 70+ RV friends & most of us have been on cruises before.
We did email you & we are waiting for another reply back from Royal 👉🏼 we were not satisfied with their “Looking into this matter” candid response! We’ll email you back when we have an update, but we’ll have a video out on this next week.
I would love to see your video!
I was on the sailing also - I also emailed Royal about the issues - and I received the canned response. I then emailed them again explaining it made the good guests even more upset. They called me to discuss, but honestly I felt like they just wanted to let me vent and that would be the end of it. There are a few things they need to do asap to prevent this and I really wish they would.
@@AZ2stpr Thank you, currently editing it
@@JennyCruiseCommander So sorry you guys had to go through the same cruise. We got the same response, we are going to stay on it.
@@VenturesomeCouple I am loyal to Royal- I've only been on 8 cruises but I have 2 in Jan paid and planned. I really want to see your video too. I am guessing your name is your podcast.
This is a black owed business that has been in business for over 10 years. You were not there and this is my family. My cousin has worked hard to build this business. He and Jada grew up together so miss me with the “cash cow bit”. The root of the issue is all the palm colored people were not happy to see black people having a good time(as most of the events were private). The only reason you doing this vlog is because of Jada so stop using him for clicks and view. True B-Boys don’t tear each other down. I won’t call you an Uncle Tom but more of Sambo. You could have used your platform to reach out to Paradise Cruises is you were a real. BBOY and got the real story but this was much easier right?
