  • After an awesome beach day in Antigua we return to the ship to enjoy the evening activities. I went to check on possible pier runners when saw that a family came out of the ship with their luggage. They had to satay in Antigua due to a medical emergency.
    This evening included people watching at the pier, sail away, live music at the Music Hall, the Holiday Spectacular show, and a great time at the silent disco time.

    My former co worker passed away during a excursion on a cruise. She was with her husband, brother and SIL. They had to get off at the port she passed in too..

    I did see an entire family kicked off a ship once. I only know the details because I was indirectly involved. My partner on the cruise got into a very heated debate one night with the father of this family after we had sat though a show (in the adults only theatre) with his kids running around and throwing things at the passengers. The guy clearly thought this was is right to allow this. It got broken up by security, and both the father and my partner got cautioned to behave. But it transpired that through the night and the next morning the cruise staff received multiple complaints about the kids behaviour. I dont know if they tried to talk to the guy and he got as combative with them, or the captain just said "enough already" with the number of complaints, but sure enough, next day the whole family did the walk of shame off the ship. They did, at least, acknowledge to my partner that while he could have handled it better, he was not in the wrong.

      Oh! So sorry you had to experience this inconvenience. This does happen occasionally. We as cruisers sometimes think that we have the right to do whatever we want because we spend a few $$$. It does takes a lot for the ship crew to intervine and say "STOP OR ELSE". It takes a lot for them to kick-off.

    I remember being on the breakaway and my grandpa had a minor stroke. He had to get off at a port in Florida but told us to keep cruising and have extra fun for him. I was pretty upset and would have rather disembarked with him since it just wasn't the same after he had to get off. Hopefully everything went alright for that family.

      To be honest, late runners getting back on the ship do not bother me in the least, simply because, whether they are late or not, that does not prevent, delay nor change any of the activities that the crew offers on board the ship. In fact, I think late-runners provide laughter for the early ones watching them on the verge of being left behind.

    Sad that a whole family had to stay on the island due to some medical problems. That should be a reminder to everyone watching: make sure your doc gives you the green light BEFORE you take that trip. It could save a trip to the hospital in a city you're unfamiliar with! Scary too...

    They tell you to get back by 4:30 knowing there will be stragglers. They don't like having to wait past 5:30, they want that ship out of the harbour and sailing in open seas by 6:00 to the next port.

    I think Cruise Ships should should have boarding ramps at each end of the ship to stop passengers having unnecessary long walks.
    They should also have a fleet of jeeps to ferry passengers along extraordinarily long piers.
    They should also have a helicopter on board to ferry stranded passengers on board.

    • @bestatsea1415
      @bestatsea1415  2 роки тому +3

      Some ports provide a ride but there are thousands getting off the ship at the same time. They do have other gangways to get out usually where elevator ar located. Anthem has two.
      I would be a pier runner just to get a helicopter ride. 🤣
