What cruise issue would take a stand for?
People playing music loudly on their balcony is the only thing which bothers me.
Nothing. I don't care what others do. I do my own thing and don't care to pay attention to what others are doing because I'm on vacation!!!!
I don't like smoking inside. I used to smoke and didn't like it then either. Video games are awesome for keeping kids from running out of control bored. No one wants screaming kids or kids bored doing what bored kids do. 😅
@@stevemcgowen That would bother me, too.
I'd like to see the outdated Passenger Vessels Act removed.
You forgot people not watching there bad ass kids.
Kids playing in the buffet food or walking around un supervised.
GET YOU'RE BAD ASS KIDS.
Worst are the people who actively encourage their kids to break the rules. 10 years from now they'll wonder why the kids are stealing, sneaking out, and refusing to do chores,, because you taught them that they can disregard rules!
People that act a fool in public. The weekend warrior drinkers, bringing on bluetooth speakers like the rest of us want to listen to your music. Come at me Bro!
I’m on the Carnival Breeze now and a guy carried a speaker that was loud at all hours even in the casino that was blasting music already. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Ity always made me chuckle when someone on a cruise ship will complain about a smoker effecting their health, while simultaneously "trying to get their money's worth" out of their drink package.
So I had back surgery last year, not long before a disney/cruise trip with friends. I was forced to use a scooter for the first time ever. While I didn't use one on board, I did use one in Disney and earned a newfound respect for those who rely on them. It was shocking how people would literally run in front of you, causing you to slam on the breaks rather than allowing a scooter to pass by them. I quickly became paranoid that I'd run someone over by accident! It was very stressful, and I pray I never need one again. Now I make sure I'm the one human around to give those on scooters some space they are much less agile than us.
Disney is the only place I’ve ever hit someone. My husband was blocking for me to dodge something and this guy came flying around him and stepped about one foot in front of me, no choice. What I worried about was the kids especially at dusk. I did reach out and try to block them. And no I wasn’t going faster than the walkers, but if you leave stopping distance someone is going to step into it without looking as if they are in rush hour traffic and changing lanes 100 times is going to get you more than 2 feet ahead.
Even wheeled walkers can be hazardous. I use one (it's not motorized; it travels at the same rate I can walk on that given day). I was at a get-together with a bunch of tenants in the apartment building I live in and there was one kid who kept poking his fingers in the area of the wheel where the brakes would go if I had them on. I told the kid to stop doing it and when he wouldn't, I found his parent and said, "Look, keep your kid away from me. If he sticks his fingers in there and I don't see in time before putting on the breaks, he could get very seriously hurt and you'd be taking him to the hospital. Pay attention."
@@Shan_Dalamani Even the cables, depending on adjustments can be sharp! I’ve only had a kid wanting to play with my scooter. I told him to be careful, but didn’t totally stop him because we were in an airport and he was just bored but not hyper. He got a little more interested than things like the lights and horn and got interested in where the tiller breaks over to fold. It’s a latch. I told him he couldn’t do that as that he could get hurt and he pretty much stopped. There was something else he got interested in and when I said he would get hurt doing that too his mom gently called him back to her. And no, I didn’t let him push the horn but twice! And they were quick.
That scooter doesn’t have a slow speed, so it may have been he wanted to mess with the levers. Although the key was off that was a definite no, especially if he then tried it on some else’s scooter why they were moving! In fact the waiter on one cruise nearly hit a cart of glasses because he didn’t realize I was just going at a low speed because I knew how! The maitre’d asked me to never give any of them the key again! Now I have a wheelchair, and the joystick is even more attractive.
I’m not sure how I would have reacted if he was messing with the back wheels/motors! I must say I’ve never seen a kid do what you are describing, it sounds like he’d been around a walker before!
The worst people for pushing the horns are the waitstaff!
I used a scooter to get around Universal Studios, Florida. the amount of people who walked in front of me was disgusting..one woman looked at me as if _I_ was in the wrong..!! get bloody real woman..!!
You sound like a very respectful lady using a scooter. The rude people are the ones who may be in your shoes someday and think differently about people treat them.
The only one I'll comment on is that I used to enjoy the sense of being disconnected without hearing others' phone calls and face chats in public spaces.
I like to eavesdrop on their conversations. You can learn a lot.
@@HeatherGemmen 😁🤣
@@HeatherGemmen when they get too loud and annoying, I start weighing in on their conversation. Most hang up or walk to a more private area. Except one time the lady made the convo a three way with me included. It was funny, annoying, but funny.
if they are on speaker, I join in and make comments. They get the point
@lynnewilliams542 I think being on speaker in public, cruise or land, is rude and annoying. Otherwise, if someone wants to constantly share and be connected and another wants to unplug - great both ways.
1. If there is a dress code, you should follow the dress code. If you don't like it, take a cruise without a dress code. It's not like there are no other options.
2. If the ship is nearby, it should help with any rescue.
3. Scooters are okay; scooter riders that act entitled are not. People who are insensitive to the issue are also not okay.
4. Yeah, cruise ships aren't the best, but they are always improving.
5. I don't like smokers, but I am willing to accommodate them. They need to be aware of how their smoke affects others.
6. Follow the rules! It's not cool to sneak anything aboard.
7. Technology exists; deal with it.
8. No opinion, I don't gamble often, but I have indulged at times, never much money though.
9. The cruise can't wait for a few people. That's life. For most of the pier runners, it's their own fault because they aren't good with deadlines and schedules.
10. Pay the gratuities! I would prefer they would just include them in the cruise fare.
❤❤❤
Gratuities are a sore point for me. In Europe they are given for good service. They’re not expected as in the US. To me it’s like the company’s saying we’re not paying e what these people are worth so you can make up their money.
On the dinning dress code. I find people are pretending that they are some body and rich. I do not like dress up. I know I am not rich and never will be. I live in California.
Some dress because a cruise ship is supposed to be a class act. Not McDonald's
Well put.
Personal bluetooth speakers. Rent a yacht if you want to hear your own music.
One word: EARPHONES!
Scooters...be polite. The people who can walk just fine...be polite.
Just got off the Spirit. A 20 something year old guy came careening in on a scooter at high speed and I had to jerk my foot back in order not to get run over. He jumped off and walked in. We think he borrowed grandmom’s scooter to make his appointment time - obviously not physically impaired. A real shame
We even have free entertainment in port, pier Runners should be an olympic event
I am not divided at all on any of these issues. When I go on a vacation, cruise or otherwise, I take care of me and let you take care of yourself. It is not my concern what you choose to do as long as it doesn’t involve me. If you get drunk I don’t care, your concern . But if you get ugly or start a fight then it concerns me. I will get away from you and not let you involve me but I might talk or think ugly about you!
My problem with cruising price gouging is everyone in the room has to have the drink,wifi packages
And gratuity charges not per cabin, but per PERSON, including babies!
You can thank all the people who abused the system and shared their drinks, etc. Some still do and brag about it in cruise forums, like we should be envious of the a-holes who cause our prices to rise.
Pregnant... and my husband couldn't have the drink package unless I also had one because we were in same room... what the heck?!😮
@cookroberts Not sure what cruise line you're talking about, but if it's Royal Caribbean, you can call and they'll let you downgrade your package to the Refreshment package (and he can get the Deluxe).
They have the policy of making all adults in the room get the package because people abused it in the past, of course.
Those who have problems with people who use scooters are the same people who jump in front of my husband when he’s trying to get onto an elevator. For those who don’t know my husband TomBeetle Bailey, he’s wheelchair bound. He’s actually had someone jump over his legs to get into the elevator! Chill out people! If you’re that much in a hurry, use the stairs!!
Gratuities have gotten high enough that they seem to be higher than the room itself!
I have a walker, I am very aware of others and try to stay out of the way. That doesn’t stop them from pushing me to get by, usually for the elevator.
It's gotten to the point where I've decided that I don't need to apologize for having a disability. I don't push in where there's obviously not room enough, I don't deliberate hit anyone, but neither do I let myself get pushed around, or - a MAJOR nono - I don't let anyone just move the walker without my permission. People have tried that here in the building I live, in doctor's offices, in other places - and I tell them, if you wouldn't just move someone's wheelchair, you don't just move my walker. I need it within reach, and you are putting me at risk of a fall if you move it and I can't reach it. Not to mention that it's bloody RUDE - like taking away someone's crutches or cane!
If they whine and say, "Well, it was in the way," I tell them that in that case, they TELL me it's in their way, and let ME move it, or at least give them permission to move it and then bring it back immediately.
Regarding the onboard drink packages, it totally surprises me, that not even one cruise line, has implemented, tiered drink packages. I would do a 5 a day package, but not those exhorbitant 15, that soak your wallet.
A few cruiselines now offer drink packages which sell a set number of drinks included for the entire cruise.
Id like one that has wine with dinner
@@dchenkin02Royal Caribbean sold drink cards on our cruise. 10 drinks for $90, and you can share them. We each bought one.
@StaceyChamberlain-kf1qx I think it Norweigan we were on that has that. And they cork your bottle and keep the remaining for the next night or you can take the bottle with you for the night. By far, of Norweigan, Royal and Carnival, Carnival has by far the most restrictions.
Line cutters!! I'm on a cruise filled with a culture of Line cutters. Rushing the door, diving into the buffet line and saving the place for your entire tour group may be acceptable in your home culture but not mine.
And when 1 person is on line in front of you and then the 9 other people they are cruising with join them in front of you.
Scooters in the hallway and scooter drivers that act as if they are on the Indy 500.
Love the topics today and as always thank you for keeping us informed.
And I was a scooter owner, now wheelchair, and complained too. I try to teach others that if it says Rental, stay back! Btw, the stopping distances differ from scooter to scooter, even the identical brand and model.
Being too aggressive at the elevator? …. I wonder why!
MSC has a smoking contained area but their negative pressure is faulty! Australia has no smoking indoors by local law so when you start there you follow their rules.
My hubby found where he was in need of using a scooter on one of our cruises. It is almost impossible to catch an elevator especially during dining hours. We could have been the only ones at the elevator but, by the time an elevator stopped, usually at the other end, recent passengers would fill the elevator making no room for the scooter person. This happened all the time, not just some, but all the time. When we were cruising again minus the scooter, if there was a scooter person there, we found ourselves holding the elevator door and waving the scooter person on. There is no need to be rude and put your needs before those in need!
@@donnacipriano5390 I always allow a passenger in a wheelchair, or on a scooter, to board the elevator before me. It does not hurt to to be kind, especially since many people are selfish and mean.
@@kellyssong you are a rare gem! And on behalf of all those mobility challenged cruisers I thank you for showing your support and respect. You were raised right!
@@pattyinsoflo5431 You are very welcome. I was raised to respect others, and show manners.
It blows my mind that some people get upset when their cruise ship rescues people at sea. 😳
No matter who they are or how they got there!
@@lauriestrong9972 I think its cool ;... I like to video the process. I've also got great shots of a coastguard medevac pics so good the rotor is frozen in time... I just do not video or take pics of the evacuee
Most of the rescues, at taxpayer expense, off the southern coast of Florida stem from illegal immigration attempts and most occupants are flown back to their country again at our expense. The Captain and other staff know the difference between those mentioned above and those who have encountered an issue with their licensed vessel. I believe the Mariners Law intended to serve the later.
Yes, they should be picked up. You don't leave anyone out in the water to possibly die, however; if they are not legally supposed to be in America, you do not bring them to America.
@@rhondathiels exactly! The rules are that they must hand the people rescued over to the coast guard who will then see to their health needs and send them home
BTW - Just spent a week on Wonder of the Seas and my girlfriend and I would always preface anything we said with "for your face.. for.. your ... face..."... "let's get pizza... for your face! for your face!"
😂😂😂😂
That’s hilarious!! 😂
You two are true fans🤩
Need a tshirt with that on it
LOL. That's awesome! 🤣🍕🤣🍕
Heading onto the NCL Getaway next month... I will accept the challenge of using this line once daily!
I am strongly on the side that gratuities should be included in the cruise fare, not a separate mandatory fee. Several countries do not allow gratuities to be a separate charge from the fare. Just tell customers the full price including compensation to the crew.
tipping isnt mandatory. you can easily get the tips removed or adjusted. love virgin, no tipping involved
I prepay my gratuities and when warranted i give extra rewarding great service.
Greetings and thank you. I need to jump onto this. Unfortunately I’m a smoker. And I believe that nonsmokers shouldn’t have to endure smoke. The ship has given an area so smokers and nonsmokers don’t have to interact. Even if the cruise lines banned smoking, it’s fine with me. It’s their sand box I’ve decided to play in. And if I can’t smoke….well… thank you for helping me quit.
In short, you have a right do most anything as long as it doesn’t infringe the rights of others.
I don't smoke, I don't like the smell at all. However, I do respect the right of smokers to do it. We try our best to avoid the designated areas, and if we happen to wander through, that's on us!
Im not a smoker but my travel buddy is. Ive come to hang out with her on the smoking deck because its a friendly fun group of people who hang out to smoke, And it's outside so the smoke doesn't bother me! The Casino is another story though. Some people let their smoke blow right in your face while they play sitting next to you. Very inconsiderate and rude.
No matter what you do on a cruise it is entertainment. Whether that is gambling, eating, drinking, or watching the shows we are paying for the entertainment we enjoy. What people choose to do is their business and nobody else's. People need to start having more compassion for others and keeping their opinions to themselves especially at the expense of others.
Thank you. Well said.
You wouldn't believe the people that flip when I split 10s at Blackjack.😅 (and after about 10 cruises, I'm actually in the black overall for wins😂)
I don't have a problem with smokers if they keep it to themselves, and I don't have to smoke too.
One yo left out is how crew people are treated by cruisers.
I would add to the are list cruise line choice(Carnival vs Royal vs Disney etc) and the buffet line rules/etiquette. Those two things fire up people A LOT!
Totally!!
I personally do not pay the gratuity that the cruise line suggest. On my last cruise on NCL I asked my room steward did he receive the gratuities and his statement to me was it does not affect his check at all. So I’ll leave cash gratuities. The cruise lines make enough profit without hiding under gratuities.
Because of my mobility issues I use a scooter. I have never hit anyone. There have been close calls when someone steps right in front of me. People may not realize we do not have breaks and no matter how slow we go it takes a minute to stop. Also I have had to wait more than 10 minutes to get on an elevator as a lot of people rush to get on the elevator as soon as it opens not even letting the ones off that want off. I try very hard to stay out of peoples way and not be a bother.
It amazes me how upset some people get about what others are wearing as they are clean, etc. On our last cruise it was "Dress to impress" night, and a lady next ti ys was waiting to be seated in the dining room and was obviously offended by the casual dress of the couple entering the room .They looked clean and neat but certainly not dressy. She said something to her husband, visibly rolled her eyes, and watched to see where they were being seated. I can't imagine spoiling the pleasure of your own evening by worrying that much about what strangers are wearing.
Some people live in very small worlds
I’ve often wondered if anyone in Florida even owns long pants🤣 But I’ve seen a lot of people who know how to dress in shorts too. I’m thinking like Bermuda! My hubby hates dressing up as he had a uniform for 20 years. He will wear a collared shirt for me and on dressier nights one that looks like you could wear it to church!
My philosophy of dressing is that if you don't like what I'm wearing, you have my permission not to look at me.
I once wore a shirt and jeans to a Shakespeare play, and some woman in an evening gown stared down her nose at me and made a snide comment to her husband. My take on it is that if she was going to worry more about what I was wearing than what was happening on the stage, that's her problem.
I tend to be a follow the rule person and will dress appropriately for the MDR (but not in a ball gown).
But what I will not do - is judge others for how they choose to dress for two reasons.
#1 It’s their vacation and they should enjoy it as they please.
#2 I’m way to busy enjoying my vacation to get all psycho over what the other passengers are wearing.
@@katjar4881 For some reason you sound like you’d be willing to make a gown/long tee shirt and then attach all sorts of balls to it, it must be late for me!
#11) your cabin choice (interior - you're never there! / balcony - I want to see the ocean! -/suite - I like the service and space)
Just got off Carnival Venezia yesterday and with the new scooter policy there were very few scooters. Many more canes and walkers tho.
My son is in a wheelchair so I understand mobility issues, I take issue with the scooters in the halls as they impacted other’s ability to move around. How do you expect others with mobility issues to get around your mobility device?
I understand both ways. The cabins also aren't that big, so putting a scooter in them would take away space for people to move around in the cabin! Unless you have a suite, the cabins are usually too small to fit a scooter comfortably.
@@iluvutube4886 Across all cruise lines it is against the rules to leave your mobility devices in the hallway because they block the hall incase of an evacuation. My last cruise I could not get my wheelchair around some gentlemans scooter that he left in the hall. I had to wake him at 2am to come out and move it.
Ya in an emergency where people in scooters/chairs can’t get around the scooters in the hall I wouldn’t be very understanding.
So I'm very much a rule-follower. I'm also a believer in letting people do what they want within the rules. I'm also constantly taken aback by how many people are pretty much the polar opposite. I've found I'm a lot happier when I limit my engagement with them so I do. The phrase "can't we all just get along?" pops up in my head frequently.
Posting for video engagement purposes, not to be argued with, but if anyone wants to argue with me, I can't stop you. And wouldn't if I could. 🙂
Honestly, if I'm on board and we leave late, it's no big deal for us. We had a 2 hour delay in Limon. There were late people that should have been left BUT we had a Carnival excursion that literally needed a police escort to get to the port because of an accident. The driver pulled right down the pier, helped off folks because they were sore sitting in the bus for so long and the entire port side passengers on balconies or outside decks gave everyone a standing ovation for making it back AND we didn't need to worry about missing the next port. It was all good.
I have a walker I'm really worried about it, however I can't walk without it if walking long distance.
My sister was post tripple bypass and needed a scooter on our last cruise. Her biggest issue was several times waiting on an elevator once the elevator opened people without issuse rushed the elevators and we several times had to wait on several elevators because the non impaired people pushed past my sister not caring we had already been not let on 2 other elevators due to entitled people
I agree with the list. The problem is people just can not accept that not everyone has the same opinion as them. We can be friends EVEN if we don’t agree.
Thank you for bringing these things up! Doesn't it all boil down to respect for ourselves and others. Treat others as you want to be treated. There are two sides to every story, but we must listen to the other side to educate ourselves. We are not always right! Can we admit when we are wrong? Also, admit it without exploding! Mutual respect!
A fun discussion of Issues. The reality is that most mass-market ships are so large and try to cater to everyone that you will see and hear about anything. At the end of the day its about mutuality of respect to your fellow passengers, the lines will make and enforce rules so that passengers don't indulge in activities that impact the safety and enjoyment of the ship, crew, and fellow passengers. People who are VERY concerned about mass-market lines being overly accommodating to the masses can find lines (or sailings within a line) that might cater to their personal interests and sense of enjoyment.
I asked a cruise blog if I can bring a walker for my mom I want to take her but she can't walk long or stand in line long so this gives her support and a seat got some don't go comments it's harder to fly and older people have bucket lists so cruising makes it possible guess they'll always be haters
Why don’t we all be respectful and mind our own business ? We cruise to have fun. Not judging.
People should just choose the suitable cruise line for their lifestyle or vacation preferences. There are so many cruise lines to choose from. More prestigious, more relaxed, more formal, kids, no kids, all inclusive, with premium entertainment, with waterslides, more flirtatious, for younger crowds, for older crowds, for families, smoking, non smoking … Just do the search first, a travel agent could help. Problem solved
Exactly! If you want to get all formal and dress up and want other people you don't even know to be dressed up, then go on a more bougee cruise line. I cruise RCCL because it's smart casual all the time. If you WANT TO dress up, go for it, knock yourself out! If you don't, that's fine too! People that are there with kids on a family vacation are going to dress differently than let's say a couple on their honeymoon! Everyone paid for THEIR vacation, so it's their right to dress up or just dress smart casual, that's my motto. I have went up one side and down the other of people who would come at me on comments because THEY would be offended if I dressed how I wanted on MY vacation! People have to mind their own business and not the business of people around them that they don't even know!
I pick my cruies by date and itinerary, then I worry about who the carrier is. Should I not cruise Carnival because its a young partiers cruise? We can all share a ship. Just be mutually respectful.
@@pattyinsoflo5431Yes I think the issue comes in if someone then complains about the things that come with going on a ship that is not necessarily suited for them. To use your Carnival example, if I was a person who valued a more peaceful cruise it would be a bit silly to then complain that my Carnival vacation was ruined by rowdy college students stumbling back to their staterooms at 5 in the morning. Some things are just to be expected you know?
I think the formal nights are a good idea as most folk like dressing up, me, not so much, I would order food to my room and be an old grump....first cruise in July for a fortnight and have 3 x formal nights, I'll be spending it in my room with some room service, I'm on vacation, I want to chill out and not get dressed up, but totally appreciate others like to.
Go on Norwegian, no formal nights.
We just went to the buffet on formal nights if we didn’t want to partake in the formal night.
I have to use a scooter and don’t have a choice. I too get mad at abusers who use them. The only time I hit anyone with my scooter was because that person was looking at their phone and walking and stepped in front of me. I had told them to watch where they were going but they didn’t even look up. But I do get upset at people that are rude to me for using a scooter. Many times I have had to wait 20 minutes or more to get on an elevator because people will push past me to beat me in.
No smoking of anything in places where it will affect others, rescue people, bring some of your own alcohol (not a full bar that would last you 2 weeks), no need to dress up just because someone else does, and pier runners... it's a difficult situation!
I have a friend who does not drink very much when we’re not on a cruise. But just because the rules say you cannot bring alcohol on board, he looks at that as a challenge and sneaks on Bailey’s creamer for coffee. And every night in the MDR, we will ask for decaffeinated coffee and put that Baileys in it from his flask. It’s always a hoot!
I have MS, and auto immune arthritis, without the scooter, I’m spending the whole cruise in my room. From my perspective (which is clearly below ambulatory people’s sight line), the biggest issue is people not paying attention, and literally walking into me, or right in front of me. I tend to be super polite, and always apologize, even when it’s clear that it’s not my fault.
Thats a good list. You forgot pool chair hogs. I have see so many fights over this. Everyone seems to hate it.... but the only solution seems to be to get up earlier then the chair hogs... and hog your own chairs! Drives me nuts. But like many on your list, it falls into the "Its ok to be selfish, I'm on vacation". Also, sharing tables with strangers. Or, letting "paid excursion passengers" off cruise before passengers that bought 3rd party.
I was with you until "letting "paid excursion passengers" off cruise before passengers that bought 3rd party." But I think the answer to that, especially for mega ships, is one gangway off for cruise line excursions and one for everybody else.
The solution is for cruiselines to enforce the rules. Let security deal with chair hogs who refuse to be considerate of fellow passengers.
I love sharing tables with strangers. I met my best friend on a cruise as dinner table mates
@@veronicanolastname2467 that is what royal did in australia. we had to tender at airlie beach. one tender area for people on their own and hte other opening was for boats going right to the reef
@@veronicanolastname2467 It tends to become an issue with tenders, like Belize or the Caymans. I can see both sides, but people argue about it all the time
Good list and I assume you had fun putting it together.
MOBILITY SCOOTERS How about a serious consideration for safety while onboard a ship at sea. I personally have spent close to 20 years at sea. Both as a crew member and passenger. During that time I have dealt with three serious fires, flooding and other emergencies. What most people don’t understand is that mobility scooters in the case of a serious emergency immediately becomes a liability and places others at risk since additional personnel will be required to render aid. Blocking passages, staff pulled away from regular duties to go out and render aid since you obviously can’t just leave them behind. Seriously, people with mobility issues can easily end up being a serious liability during emergencies. The ocean is unforgiving and will turn on you in an instant.
As for smoking, it has no place onboard a ship. Fire onboard a ship spreads fast! So why increase the chance of having one.
Free cruises from gambling? Yeah right. That clown is just paying installments for his next cruise. Have a brother that has been in casino management for close to 40 years and he’ll tell point blank, the house never loses. Maybe today but the house plans are always for the long run and once they get you back with their “perks” they will make more from you than you ever win.
Yep. Good list, Tony..
Other topics that divide are:
1.) Cruise brands/ Loyalty
2.) Status/Tier
3.) Cabin Type
great video tony :)
luvin ur videos!!!
Thank you Sir Tony!!
Great video and topics were right on.
Hey Tony, Great show today!! Agreed on the issues and I'm sure there is more.
Interesting show today
Thanks for the entertainment
Perhaps your best episode. Funny, entertaining. Thank you!
As long as you activity doesn't impact me or mine.. you do you. Dress however you want... If you want to risk the naughty room... sneek it in. You wanna gamble... gamble. I've met people who get the cruise free because the spend so much in the casino. As an ex smoker... do what you want. You like the ganja... beware, some countries will make you pay big time but not my problem.
I had a knee issue that caused my (temporary) use of a wheelchair on a cruise with hubby pushing me around. On land people are polite and go out of their way to help, but something about the ship makes people so rude and they would cut me off and literally push us out of the way to get on the elevator. For the most part there weren't any other issues, but man they don't want to let you on the elevator in a wheelchair! For my next cruise I plan on taking the stairs as much as possible, especially if I see a scooter or a wheelchair needing to use the elevator. I have the option to walk now and it's hard not to have that choice on a cruise.
I didn't really care about the scooter issue until I saw a significant amount of people that just use it to get around. Not to mention them hitting other cruisers and go dangerously fast.
I'm a RN, when scooters first energed they were geared to glow slow or slower for safety. These new ones do zoom. I think one idea is for cruise lines to rent a compact scooter that fit into rooms, controlled speed, then ban personal scooters. Be more efficient and controlled.
Isn;t it the point to use a scooter to get around? How do you know if a person needs a scooter/wheelchair or not? Do you have x-ray eyes? Many disabled people appear to be able bodied. Not your place to judge. You place is to show a little respect and give them a little room and not walk right in front of them!

Thanks, Tony. I needed this chuckle today.
I have seen this as well. Yuck!
Omg literally lol with "slow down Cheech and Chong "😂😂😂😂
Good morning Tony. I always enjoy listening to you. Thank you for be so informative and entertaining. You're the best. Have a good day!
I suggested my friend bring his switch, and it was awesome. He was chillin on the pooldeck with a drink and switch
Gratitude is important and paying your extras is important. Thank you Tony
Wow!! Great list
Great video ❤❤❤❤
How can anyone debate rescue at sea? If only common courtesy applied to everyone, everywhere (elevators, buffet, chair hogs, music played loudly in public spaces, phone calls on speaker phone in public spaces).
If media didn't tell them to hate it, they wouldn't. They do what their favorite propagandists tell them.
Those people who complain would probably tread on a person having a major medical emergency on land.
It's maritime law . Any vessel has to assist in any other vessel struggling at sea.
Love dress up days. Some awesome outfits and very entertaining
I did too for about the first 20 cruises. Now I just take sun dresses for dinner
"Spin gold on an old fashion loom." LOL. Rumpelstiltskin! 😆I don't cruise that much but have to watch Tony.
My husband is in a wheelchair and you have no idea how hard it is to get on an elevator. Time and time again we are the only ones at a bank of elevators and before one opens more people arrive and they rush to the elevator and we have to wait for the next one. We not only have to wait for an elevator that only has 1 or 2 people already on it but we also have to fight the crowds. If you only have 1 or 2 decks to move to, use the stairs and let us who don't have that option use the elevators. End rant. :)
Great commentary
Tony ,Cruisers & Land Lovers alight just have to learn
to NOT be so DIVISES and Live Together , Love & Live ...
And Cruise ON !!!
Good list. I def am on one side or the other for all of them.
Not exactly related to the videos topic but I just wanted to say that I love a good genuine ask for a like.. I forget about it frequently but when someone asks genuinely, I love to go hit the like button. And I like all your videos Tony! I hope to meet you on a cruise one day, you’re so positive and carefree.
#11 Could be “ Lack of sanitary standards”. Those people who think it is unnecessary to wash their hands before entering eating areas, leaving bathrooms and even touching food in the lido with their hands. They seem to believe that these rules do not apply to them.
Hi Tony. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
Thanks!
Scooter people - I feel for them. I've seen them waiting their turn for the elevator only to be jumped in front of by a group of just showed up in time folks. Manners! Gone.
Sleeveless t's, shorts, and flip-flops should NEVER be allowed in the MDR. That's fast food apparel.
Seriously, these days, too many people treat a cruise like a trip to their local convenience store. I've seen better dressed outside of Wal-mart, after midnight leaning against the wall. 🙄
Best entertainment on a ship. Pier Runners!!!
My favorite list of yours is definitely an old one where you are outside on your patio. I saved it. You are hilarious
Good show today. Hopefully move is going well.
Let’s bring all together on the FIRENZE. Looking forward to your up coming adventure.
I can’t believe that you would count the list from 1 to 10 rather than count down from 10 to 1! How dare you count differently than I do! 😂
I have mobility issues and I have been looked at sideways and the elevator issues I won’t get into that but the cruise lines have accommodated them to a point. Let them go and be let us be.
I am a wheelchair user, the problem is with the people who rent scooters only when they are cruising. And with rental wheelchairs the lack of training for the people who give them assistance. I have seen people parking at the only assessable companion seat with a space for the wheelchair user, and walk down to a regular seat blocking the companion space. I call them opera stars because they’re thinking about ME ME ME and have no clue about what it feels like to be left behind because of their lack of understanding. Unfortunately the crew members don’t want to do anything that might upset an entitled individual.
I used to like cruise elegant night but I think the time has come and gone.
I say 100% ban on smoking of any kind.
I was on a cruise once, seen some young kids in Cozumel close to the pier playing by themselves. About a half hour later they were boarding the boat trying to drag their falling down drunk parents onto the boat. I like to drink on the boat but that’s a bit extreme.
Ok where was the cruise news jingle at the end of your video, I love it and sing along every time😂
Omgoodness I love the Pac-Man behind you changing colors! Too cute!
Cruisers can think what they want about rescues at sea, but it's required by maritime law. What happens to them later is another subject. I'm surprised gambling is a divisive issue. You either choose to gamble or you don't. The operative word is "choose". Nobody makes you gamble.
To self debark or not? Just got off the Crown Princess 5/4/24. During disembarkation, a man on the elevator flipped his lid when two ladies slid into the elevator with their rolling luggage. They only had 2 small size rolling bags but he couldn't help himself and complained there was no room for all their 'crap'. My husband and I were also waiting for an elevator to disembark and were glad we didn't have to take the ride with THAT guy. As far as luggage goes they hardly had anything, I've seen much bigger luggage being taken off. Definitely knew what HE thought about self disembarkation! He was such an ass but the ladies seemed to let his grumbling roll off their backs. At least it seemed that way until the doors shut. Who knows what went down after that. 🤣
My first cruise was in 1993 an suits for men were MANDATORY at the least.
I believe that the cruise ship should have a barge being towed and that is where smokers should be LOL!!!
I LOVE pier runners. They are entertainment and most of us go to the Lido deck to took for them.
We keep the tips on and give extra to the employees that we fell have gone above the standard1
Yes Tony, definitely sore subjects. Like you, I see both sides to the issues put. The problem(s) is with people who abuse the situation, on each side. There are SO MANY people who think they are entitled whether it is a mobility challenged person, a smoker, a pier runner etc...Unlike some people, I try to see and understand another person's opinion or issue. There are too many What About Me and I know my rights and what I am ENTITLED to people, I wish we could be a little kinder, more understanding and accepting.
Great list Tony! I would add ship provided excursions vs non-ship excursions (locally provided)
I love it the Pia Runner
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how you show both sides of the coin on all these! One more reason I love your videos ❤. That being said, I don’t want the Big C again because of second smoke, but I do have my bad habits. McDonald’s DC for one😘. Thank you Tony for your videos. Never fails to entertain. Shout out Ludacris!
I'm a Christian therefore I don't gamble ever. That is my own conviction . I always pay the gratuities, and then even give more. They work so hard to make our vacation great.
Same on both counts.
@@smm2476 Nobody said it’s only christians who don’t gamble. Anybody can choose not to gamble (or to gamble) for any reason that they want. She was just stating her reason. 💜
Wonderful Summary for oldies and newbies alike...if you cruise on big ships with lots of people where most do...a great let go all review....and wise info. Idea, would it be a good or bad idea...to do a little learning to gamble first steps rule and how much to spend, which is hard...but how much puts one in a growing pts level etc. Just ideas geared to people who want to gamble a Little..learn their "game" etc.
