I have to say, the behavior of humans in general has declined a TON in the last few years. Societal norms are no more. I've encountered people who are so impatient that waiting at a simple red light is no longer tolerable for them. Oh, they'll stop...for a second, make sure the coast is clear and then keep driving. Laws are now just suggestions. People just walk into grocery stores, fill a cart and then just walk out of the store without paying....and NO ONE goes after them. The employees are told not to confront stealing customers. I applaud you guys for braving a transatlantic cruise. I can handle about 7 days and then, I'm done. This was a fun video! Thanks for posting.
Exactly! I wanted to also say that straight people don’t walk around with their hands in their partners arse, but then had to rethink 🤔 I take that back! Things have become different lately. Not something I would allow nor do, but I can’t speak for anyone but myself.
I had a similar experience with towels. We put our towels and beach bag on our chairs and took a dip. We come back and our belongings are gone. We approach the young couple who was now sitting there and ask them if they saw our things. Then they said to us "well how do YOU like that being treated like that." I didn't have a clue as to what they were saying. Apparently, they had come out, put there personal belongings on the chair a few hours earlier and then went to breakfast. I can only assume it was the pool attendants who removed their things. I said we did not touch your belongings, nor would we ever do such a thing but you are not supposed to reserve chairs for hours. In contrast, we had taken a quick dip. They didn't believe us and got loud like we were criminals. No one from the pool staff intervened. It was very unpleasant.
Thank you for mentioning the pool chairs & people who try to reserve them all day. When I go out in the morning, I see towels and books on chairs. Nasty old me, picks them up and gives them to the pool attendant.
It is strange. I am a skier, love winter, hate summer, too hot. Yet I am addicted to watching cruise ship videos. I’ll never get on one, no sea legs, but love the whole atmosphere.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that! I sometimes watch unboxings of products I will never buy, or make-up tutorials even though I never wear make-up, so I get it. By the way, this skiing video might interest you: ua-cam.com/video/ESd-Chg6IJQ/v-deo.html
Nope, you are totally justified. My biggest pet peeve is the way people will just stop walking right in the middle of the walkway to check their phones or talk or whatever. Just stop and block. Another other one I HATE and find beyond annoying is strolling 4 people wide so no one can get around them. And then those are the people who just walk out of a venue and don’t even look to see who’s coming. I am pretty short and have been run into because of just basic inconsideration. Sheesh. Bottom line, people are becoming more boorish as years go by.
That’s one of my pet peeves as well why can’t they just move over to the side? Or groups of people walking side-by-side in an area there’s no way for anybody else to get around them rude!
I just got back from a short 4-day cruise. It was my first one ever. I had a good time, but going solo I thought I might feel kind of awkward. It was at first, especially at dinner in the main, but the crew made me feel welcomed. After about half a day, I started hanging out on the deck and random people would just start talking to me. Eventually we all started hanging out. I think I only saw two entitled people. Very demanding sorts. I don't know why they would give the crew such an attitude. The crew was great.
Oooh noooo, I was totally grossed out with the hot-tub-pimple-popping!! Just gross!!!🤢 I do love your rant videos, probably because I totally agree with you on the topics and your presentation is simply hilarious! Thanks, Morgan!
Wow!!!! You were nicer to that mother than I would have been!!! The nerve of some people!!! It seems like some people should not sail for longer than maybe 3 days!!!! 😂
I’d love to hear more on this subject. Like, what happened next. Did she look embarrassed? Was the conversation awkward after that? Almost don’t want to go on a cruise after these stories. 😂
That is truly some 'weird' behavior..Especially the chair climber! I had a similar thing when I was on the MSC Meraviglia, guy jumping the seats. Thankfully the gentleman two rows in front of me stopped the guy and told him to 'quit acting like a monkey and walk in the aisles like normal people do'...Quite a few people busted a gut laughing on that one and that guy was sooo embarrassed!! LOL
I've always felt that many just feel entitled...or have a feeling of entitlement. The stories that I could share of some of the things people have said and done to Otis and I out in the middle of no where leave me shaking my head and wondering how long it is going to be before someone hurts you and leaves you miles away from civilization. Just keep on walking Otis! lol Always enjoy your stories! Take good care now...Bruce and Otis
We really enjoy your approach on the people's behavioral aspect of your trips because we spend good part of our time at theme parks and we experience the same things all the time. The line abuse seams to be the most common effect but there are others and it most definitely worth to talk about it. In a very shallow analysis, besides other factors, the pandemic instead of making people more sensible and understandable about the others created an unacceptable collective unconscious aggressive behavior that some folks insist to show in the most diverse ways. We also understand that wanderlust plays a major role on peoples behavior and the sense that "nothing is gonna stop us now" can make a person to drive at 55 miles per hour inside Disney parking lot disregarding completely other people's lives putting in risk our families, with the only purpose of getting ahead of people that respect the rules and that's just the beginning... Thanks for bringing that up in a very nice and appropriate way so everybody can discuss this in a more adult manner. Have a Magic Weekend!
I've had many random strangers comment on my food choices, especially at the cruise buffet, where your food is on display for everyone. As I eat completely animal-based Carnivore (meats, seafood, eggs, butter, cheese.... no grains, sugars, fruits or vegs) people often feel the need to tell me I'm not eating healthy and I'm going to have a heart attack. Actually, up to 3 years ago, after eating a standard diet my whole life, I was left very unhealthy. Eating this way, I've lost 80 lbs, reversed all my health concerns, including pre-diabetes & high blood pressure, and at 61 years old, feeling better than I have in 40 years. So thanks for your concern and unsolicited advice, I'll just be over here enjoying my plateful of steak & butter.
I feel you. I eat Keto or Ketovore mostly. Last two months we won't discuss. I am so heather eating that way and have the lab work to prove it. But I hear it all the time, that will KILL YOU!!! from my vegetarian friends and family. I love vegetarians, leaves more meat for me :) Just don't comment on someone food choices. Ever.
@t moore It's nice to hear from someone who understands the amazing benefits of eating this way... it can get lonely out here in Carb World 😏 Don't worry about the last 2 months. You know what to do for your best self... make your very next meal lots of delicious fatty meat until you're stuffed. Remember, cravings are like stray cats... if you feed them, they'll keep coming around; ignore them and they'll go away 😊
It would take all day to share annoying behavior of others. But on cruises it’s still parents who let their kids run wild on the ship thinking well where can they go? And unchaperoned kids in the buffet picking over the food , and ..see I could go on and on. I have my next transatlantic in October. I’m going solo this time . I will find a quiet spot close to a drinking establishment and enjoy the sea. At 62 I just don’t have time to deal with stupid anymore. Oh one more thing. Worst behavior on our last transatlantic was we had a large group of gay couples from Germany traveling together. They were mostly very fun . About a week into the cruise my daughter and I were sitting in the martini bar while a group conversed behind us in German not realizing my daughter understood a good portion of their conversation. They where making rude derogatory comments on people walking by, mostly the Americans. It was so satisfying when as we got up to leave, we turned and commented to them enjoy the rest of your evening in German. Needless to say several of them avoided us for the rest of the voyage.
Your comments are spot on I always see what you see My husband never does. He tells me it’s my vibe. No way. Folks have lost their minds . Keep a list for your next book Keep on cruising!
For me, it’s the saving of seats. For context, on my last cruise, I had been nursing a knee injury. My husband and I spotted two vacant seats, at the aquarium show, about half way down. So, I hobbled down the steps, like little kids have to, using just one leg, for the decent, and sat down. At almost 70, it wasn’t easy for me, with the injury. After about 30 seconds, a guy, maybe, 40, at most, turns to me and says, "Those seats are saved". I point blank told him that I wasn’t moving and as they typically announce at the beginning of shows that saving of seats is prohibited, he should already be aware of that. Some people around me actually clapped, lol. Needless to say, he was steaming mad, but I just didn’t care. When his people finally showed up, he loudly proclaimed that we had taken their seats. They didn’t seem to mind at all and found seats, on their own.
OMG! That was one of the funniest episodes yet...but also kinda sad with the state of some people's lack of common sense or manners. In our opinion you weren't off base AT ALL!
I was in a dog park last week. Me and my boyfriend were the only people there and one other person came in and stood with us. Before the guy showed up, I had asked my boyfriend if he remembered an old viral video (The pug that couldn't run) and he didn't know what I was talking about so I pulled out my phone to show him. The other guy told us that it was rude to play a video in public without using earphones. 🤷♀️ So nobody spoke up about the couple watching Netflix but I end up next to this one weirdo who has an issue with a one minute video in an open space???
I thought I had crazy stories but I can't top those! BTW my first cruise was on Epic & I loved it so much that I booked a Transatlantic on Epic - but it was my first of 7 COVID-cancelled cruises. I rebooked it for Harmony (cancelled) then Allure. That was also cancelled BUT we were moved to Wonder! So Wonder's first TA was my first TA, just a few weeks after she debuted a year ago. I loved it! I ate in the Solarium Bistro every day. My 2nd TA is this Saturday on NCL Getaway. My 3rd will be in November on Enchantment.
People have just lost respect for those around them. I’m going on my first cruise next February and sure hope I don’t see any of this! Enjoying your videos!
I was on Odyssey of the seas first sailing. “Return to cruising “ . We were at the MDR and every night a family of 4 would change me down and not look away from their phones. WTH!! My gf and use our cruise ship vacations as 7 nights of date night. Luv your videos. Keep up the great work
thanks for making me laugh today! I often think I am oblivious to things that go on around me, so next cruise, I will be paying more attention! I have noticed recently a lot of unattended small children, who are not always well behaved. We were in the windjammer and sat near a family with 3 small children. ages 1 to 5. The parents left them all at the table to go get food. It became apparent to the crew, that there was a need for supervision at this table. They went over and stayed about 10 minutes with the children, while the parents were nowhere to be found. I felt it was not safe to have children making friends with strangers so easily , even though in this situation they were perfectly safe, because maybe a different time may not be so safe.
Speaking about waiting in line, am I the bad person for doing this? Let’s say I want an extra portion of rice, which appears to be in the middle of the buffet. Should I make the whole queue to grab that spoonful of rice? Or is it ok to come 5 seconds in between two people in the line to grab this and go? Generally speaking I feel people should queue perpendicularly to the buffet item that they want. And not in parallel. This way people wait only for what they want. And NOT waiting that everyone have been in front of everything. Does that make sens?
In a situation like that, I think it's generally OK to excuse yourself and give a brief explanation, i.e., I just want more rice, or I forgot to get some [whatever].
I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship recently from port Canaveral to Bahamas summer cruise. I am a university student and was with my family and none of the passengers seemed kinda friendly :( There are a lot of nice crew members from different countries who took care of us and that made our experience the best. When I went to the nightclub and activités i felt excluded because of my autism by most people my age when I tried talking to them about simple things😔 while everyone else was clique up getting to know everyone else they also don’t know each other either. I kinda felt a bit lonely and sad. I also encountered some rude people too to the crew members . We still had a good time but i can certainly tell that its only the American passengers who act like this. I feel so bad for all those amazing crew members on our ship
My comment would have been - you might want to enter heaven looking a Victoria secret model, but I intend to arrive like a beat up Holden screaming what a ride!!!
Seems we all lost our collective potty training during the lost year of 2020. And now we all throw spit balls at each other. What is the world coming too with all this bad behavior. Do manners mean anything anymore? The hot tub picky pimple story almost made dinner make a reappearance. Re the buffet, I know when I frequented Las Vegas buffets, the expected behavior was if you wanted seconds, it was permissible and encouraged to jump in for a quick dip and then immediately get out of the line. I think it was a tactic to not have people hanging in long lines. Cruise ships may be different. Keep on keeping on
We cruise mostly Carnival quite a bit and have not seen anything like this on ANY of their ships. I am older and do have the "Grumpy OLD man" personality. I am also a professional clown and I WOULD say something to all of those situations. I can be in your face a bit but NEVER Rude and CRUDE. We are on 2 cruises this summer and hopefully will not have any of these situations.
Going on a TA in Nov....on Royal. Barcelona to Port Everglades and I am seriously hoping I don't run into these type of Neanderthals. Enjoyed your video.
lol! when I was on Adventure OTS in the Windjammer waiting 3rd in line at the waffle station. the girl making the waffles, placed some freshly made waffles on the plate. the 1st lady in line took the tongs & took 1 waffle, the 2nd lady in line then took 1 waffle...remember, I'm 3rd in line... but no...the 1st lady in line picked up the tongs AGAIN and took another waffle! I turned to the lady behind me (4th in line) and politely said "I promise, I will only take 1!"
Stories like this are why non-cruising travelers look down on the community. I really wish the cruiselines would be stricter about putting a stop to people's entitlement and cutting off heavy drinkers.
What's annoying to me is when you go to the theatre and walk the aisles appropriately and politely ask people if you can get by them to a seat they sigh, or the people behind you sigh. If people would stop taking the end seats and move into the middle instead they wouldn't have to stand a dozen times to let others pass. And the people sitting behind should choose different seating if they don't want others sitting in front of them. Passive aggressive privilege.
PDA has always bothered me, but I grew up in a different time I guess. The only people who were handsy with each other were teenagers. I miss those days..
I will never again go on a ship with 2500+ people and NEVER again with kids. It just makes me cring to think of all the things you talked about. People have lost their minds.
June of 2021 after Disney opened back up we held a Graduation party at Splitsville in Disney Springs. I was carrying a huge cake. The line to go through the security checkpoint was wrapped around at a great length. We got in line and walked quite a distance. At one point a group of 5 people came up and completely cut the line in front of us. Completely lack of common courtesy. My husband was about to say something but I’m like- wait a second. Since this was during Covid, I started coughing and hacking loudly. One of the cutters turned around and looked at me. I just continued hacking every now and then. Yes- the coughing and hacking were fake and I covered my mouth. But it was a nice way of saying- don’t be rude
Omg the pimple popping in the jacuzzi!!!!! That is why I don’t get in public jacuzzis or pools!! Gross! And for the healthy eating lady I would have said, what’s the point of eating healthy? We are all gonna die anyways!!! Lmao
We love to people watch on our cruise. It’s just fascinating to see some of the choices people make in terms of outfits, behavior towards the crew, behavior towards other guests and attitude. Since the “before times“ I think things have gotten a little worse.
Oh my, let's be honest since the "before times" they have gotten much worse. People read, hear, and see disgraceful behavior and emulate it, believing that their level of surpassing the original makes them superior. What a sad mess!
Are you being too picky? Hell no! I just came back from a cruise on the Norwegian Pearl and I said to my husband "I'm going to message Morgan and ask him if he might address the behavior of cruise ship passengers these days". The rudeness and inconsiderate behavior we witnessed really had a negative impact on the enjoyment of our cruise. People leaving their food dishes and drink glasses on the floor of elevators; parents letting their kids run wild unattended and sometimes even when they ARE attended; adults with their bare feet up on upholstered furniture or thrown over the back of their seat; and this one was rampant....people having conversations using speakerphone on their cell phones or worse doing FACE TIME with other passengers all around them. It's called 'civility' and it needs to be resurrected.
She said that doesn't look healthy???? To a stranger? You should have pulled a Beverly Hillbillies and said "You're right. I was lookin for the possum and squirrel meat and my lard fried tators but, dang, nothin good here."
My ad was something about clipping a dogs toenails. I stopped it when she talked about how much it hurts them if you cut into the quick. I doubled over in pain at the thought of a hang nail.
Lawd have mercy. Not only are you justified in your view but they shouldn't be acting like that in ANY public spaces. I would've shouted "Get you finger out of her crack. This isn't carnival"😮
Because of the electricity not working in our cabin we missed our reservation so had to line up on formal night ( first time going) it took forever anyway finally we get seated and the couple next to we’re beyond rude the lady was loud and obnoxious and started picking at her teeth the partner said there’s bathrooms to do that in ?? And then she gets her dental floss out and starts flossing her teeth 🤮 and he said you should go back to our room and she says I’m not going all that way up to my room . Was so disgusting and the food was awful (Symphony)
Captain Morgan! I watch your videos but I have not commented in a while but today I have to because of people's behaviour and lack of manners. In the past few years there is a degradation of people's manners and it is not very nice. As to the commercial(s) 1 was for the Rocky Mountaineer Railroad and 2 was for the movie Blackberry And may I add that the woman popping her better half's pimples and rinsing her hands in the hot tub water is disgusting behaviour ... no if's or but's
Hey Morgan! We still think about our Symphony transatlantic crossing and what a pleasure it was to meet you. We were on a cruise last November where we were walking about 10 feet behind a nicely dressed senior couple as we were on our way to the Diamond Lounge and they were on their way to a Mass. The man kept picking his nose and flicking his buggers onto the carpet. He did this 4 or 5 times!
Hello you two! The booger thing is so gross. I'm always shocked at how many guys pick their nose and rub it on the wall while peeing at the urinals. Disgusting.
Thank you for giving quite a lot of great laughts! I've seen a lot of vizarre behaviour from some people but the only place I can sere such a lot of peculiar behavioues is on a cruise ship. I think the reason for that is that a cruise is different from their time at home and so they are in a new setting and haven't "learned" how to behavior or how to handle certain events. For example, I highly dought that the who climing over the seats in a local movie theater like you described regarding that man in the ship. He hadn't "learned" how to do it yet timr, it was a "new" situation to deal with. I am sure he definitely WILL do it the reason way net time. I know that food behaviors take a while to learn (may several cruises) since at home they don't have dozens of various kinds of goods there for the taking. At home they get it off a kitchen table, or their plate is surved to them. Maybe three cruises is enouch to teach people if they do too much letting fingers where they should not roam. Anyway, keep on laughing...there are going to be continue to be "newbie" crusies to demonstrate peculiar behaviors...just so they keep away from jumping overboard or smoking in their stateroom...or even stay out on an excursion too long to back to the ship!
I would have said "Sie sind Verruckt" to the woman that commneted on my food. People are so uncouth these days. I am straight, but do not believe in PDA's. Nobody needs to see what I do behind closed doors in public. I wonder what happened to common courtesy and decorum? My commercial was for Wyndham hotels.
Hihi, Sure I was smiling but...I better accept this kind of behaviour on my first cruise coming up because else I have a really hard time. Unlike you I'm not able to keep my opion unsaid, so respect for you!
when covid started and everyone had to wear mask everywhere - a person in front of me at walmart was extrememly rude to the cashier. when i got up there i asked her if she thought people got ruder since the mask wearing started and she rolled her eyes and said ohhhh yes -- so maybe the rude people around still think they have a mask on and are incognito.
When Periscope was a thing there was a channel I followed devoted to RCL cruises. The experiences documented on those clips convinced me to never sail RCL and your experience has ratified my decision. Surprisingly, we love Celebrity which is an RCL line but the clientele are worlds away from the boorish behavior you describe. Anyway, loved the segment and hope you arrive at your final destination safely!
I’m one of those people that follows the rules on cruises and never act like the people are that Morgan is describing from his cruise in this video. If I followed the rules onboard my first cruise onboard carnival paradise back in 2013, I’ll follow them onboard my second cruise onboard Icon of the seas from Royal Caribbean soon.
Hi, Morgan! I am curious if there is a way for you to sign your book for me. I have not purchased it yet but I was planning to do so for reading material om my fist cruise in 3 years in July, so I have a bit of time. I would really appreciate it if at all possible. Thank you!
Hi Robin, if we ever run into each other in person, (like on a ship or at a SofaTime: LIVE event), I would love to sign your book! Unfortunately, I don't have the possibility to send you a signed book. Thank you so much for your support!
ad HAL 😅. Eek 🤢popping pimples in the casino or where ever in public Nope . 🤣love that story about your Going to deck 16. Had a Good giggle 🤭. The remark from the young mother about your plate of food 😮 Really 🤷♀️ thats just not called for you can eat what you want 😜. Totally agree what you said Back to her 😜. Now morgan i seen people do that exact Same seat climbing in a cinema 😮 everyone was horrified .we all did wonder why they just could use the normal path wasn’t that busy in that cinema hall . Brilliant video thank you so much for sharing take care have a Good week 🥰
I have to say, the behavior of humans in general has declined a TON in the last few years. Societal norms are no more. I've encountered people who are so impatient that waiting at a simple red light is no longer tolerable for them. Oh, they'll stop...for a second, make sure the coast is clear and then keep driving.

@nancywidener2157 And the sad thing is, if anyone calls people out on bad behavior, they become violent!

@jmr1703 Yup, I see it all the time in the grocery store; some people are oblivious to the fact that other people are there at all.

It was at first, especially at dinner in the main, but the crew made me feel welcomed. After about half a day, I started hanging out on the deck and random people would just start talking to me.

Love that you don't take garbage from entitled people! You be sassy!
Oooh noooo, I was totally grossed out with the hot-tub-pimple-popping!! Just gross!!!🤢 I do love your rant videos, probably because I totally agree with you on the topics and your presentation is simply hilarious! Thanks, Morgan!
Wow!!!! You were nicer to that mother than I would have been!!! The nerve of some people!!! It seems like some people should not sail for longer than maybe 3 days!!!! 😂
Or better, not at all!!
I’d love to hear more on this subject. Like, what happened next. Did she look embarrassed? Was the conversation awkward after that? Almost don’t want to go on a cruise after these stories. 😂

I appreciate you. People are so clueless. No consideration for others. Sad. Things people do. 👎🏼🙄
Good to know this stuff happens all the time. Not just when I happen along. Thanks for the laughs!
I've had many random strangers comment on my food choices, especially at the cruise buffet, where your food is on display for everyone. As I eat completely animal-based Carnivore (meats, seafood, eggs, butter, cheese.... no grains, sugars, fruits or vegs) people often feel the need to tell me I'm not eating healthy and I'm going to have a heart attack.

Worst behavior on our last transatlantic was we had a large group of gay couples from Germany traveling together. They were mostly very fun . About a week into the cruise my daughter and I were sitting in the martini bar while a group conversed behind us in German not realizing my daughter understood a good portion of their conversation. They where making rude derogatory comments on people walking by, mostly the Americans. It was so satisfying when as we got up to leave, we turned and commented to them enjoy the rest of your evening in German. Needless to say several of them avoided us for the rest of the voyage.
Your comments are spot on
I always see what you see
My husband never does. He tells me it’s my vibe. No way.
Folks have lost their minds .
Keep a list for your next book
Keep on cruising!
For me, it’s the saving of seats. For context, on my last cruise, I had been nursing a knee injury. My husband and I spotted two vacant seats, at the aquarium show, about half way down. So, I hobbled down the steps, like little kids have to, using just one leg, for the decent, and sat down. At almost 70, it wasn’t easy for me, with the injury. After about 30 seconds, a guy, maybe, 40, at most, turns to me and says, "Those seats are saved". I point blank told him that I wasn’t moving and as they typically announce at the beginning of shows that saving of seats is prohibited, he should already be aware of that. Some people around me actually clapped, lol. Needless to say, he was steaming mad, but I just didn’t care. When his people finally showed up, he loudly proclaimed that we had taken their seats. They didn’t seem to mind at all and found seats, on their own.
OMG! That was one of the funniest episodes yet...but also kinda sad with the state of some people's lack of common sense or manners. In our opinion you weren't off base AT ALL!
What a great video - love your sense of humor!
"Oh, a bird just flew by, we must be getting close to land".... thanks Noah, have you been on that ark for 40 days and 40 nights? 😉😊
Hahaha! It felt like it at times!
This is the best video ! It seems to me that Covid has made most people crazy :)
Crazy started before Covid but during that time it just became exacerbated.
I was in a dog park last week. Me and my boyfriend were the only people there and one other person came in and stood with us. Before the guy showed up, I had asked my boyfriend if he remembered an old viral video (The pug that couldn't run) and he didn't know what I was talking about so I pulled out my phone to show him. The other guy told us that it was rude to play a video in public without using earphones. 🤷♀️
So nobody spoke up about the couple watching Netflix but I end up next to this one weirdo who has an issue with a one minute video in an open space???
Frogger--spit out my drink laughing!!!
Ugh 😩 I have never and will never go on a cruise.
I got an ad for Chick-fil-A, funny, because it's Sunday and they aren't open on Sundays!
I am so glad we still maintain no screens or phones at meals - we talk to each other, and it's nice!
I thought I had crazy stories but I can't top those! BTW my first cruise was on Epic & I loved it so much that I booked a Transatlantic on Epic - but it was my first of 7 COVID-cancelled cruises. I rebooked it for Harmony (cancelled) then Allure. That was also cancelled BUT we were moved to Wonder! So Wonder's first TA was my first TA, just a few weeks after she debuted a year ago. I loved it! I ate in the Solarium Bistro every day. My 2nd TA is this Saturday on NCL Getaway. My 3rd will be in November on Enchantment.
People have just lost respect for those around them. I’m going on my first cruise next February and sure hope I don’t see any of this! Enjoying your videos!
Very funny, Morgan! Not sure which one I laughed at the most....probably the guy playing "frogger" in the seats and his charger getting ruined.
I was on Odyssey of the seas first sailing. “Return to cruising “ . We were at the MDR and every night a family of 4 would change me down and not look away from their phones. WTH!! My gf and use our cruise ship vacations as 7 nights of date night. Luv your videos. Keep up the great work
thanks for making me laugh today! I often think I am oblivious to things that go on around me, so next cruise, I will be paying more attention! I have noticed recently a lot of unattended small children, who are not always well behaved. We were in the windjammer and sat near a family with 3 small children. ages 1 to 5. The parents left them all at the table to go get food. It became apparent to the crew, that there was a need for supervision at this table. They went over and stayed about 10 minutes with the children, while the parents were nowhere to be found. I felt it was not safe to have children making friends with strangers so easily , even though in this situation they were perfectly safe, because maybe a different time may not be so safe.
People are incredible aren’t they…you cracked me up. One reason to stay away from large cruise ships!
Oh my MSC cruisers notorious for cutting in front of you like you’re invisible 😠
A reflection of a society in decline.
You were fine to that “Karen” judging you on your food selection.
Speaking about waiting in line, am I the bad person for doing this? Let’s say I want an extra portion of rice, which appears to be in the middle of the buffet. Should I make the whole queue to grab that spoonful of rice? Or is it ok to come 5 seconds in between two people in the line to grab this and go? Generally speaking I feel people should queue perpendicularly to the buffet item that they want. And not in parallel. This way people wait only for what they want. And NOT waiting that everyone have been in front of everything. Does that make sens?
I'm with you on this one !
You’re in the right. I don’t expect to queue in the buffet as I shuffle past every item!
In a situation like that, I think it's generally OK to excuse yourself and give a brief explanation, i.e., I just want more rice, or I forgot to get some [whatever].
I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure that would work unless every cruiser gets a workshop on how to do it :-P
I'll take a buffet butt-er over an elevator butt-er anyday!
We just got off the Harmony so these observations are particularly timely! LOL. I didn’t see anything this “colorful”
I went on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship recently from port Canaveral to Bahamas summer cruise. I am a university student and was with my family and none of the passengers seemed kinda friendly :(
There are a lot of nice crew members from different countries who took care of us and that made our experience the best. When I went to the nightclub and activités i felt excluded because of my autism by most people my age when I tried talking to them about simple things😔 while everyone else was clique up getting to know everyone else they also don’t know each other either. I kinda felt a bit lonely and sad.
I also encountered some rude people too to the crew members . We still had a good time but i can certainly tell that its only the American passengers who act like this. I feel so bad for all those amazing crew members on our ship
My comment would have been - you might want to enter heaven looking a Victoria secret model, but I intend to arrive like a beat up Holden screaming what a ride!!!
Love your posts! Its my dream to do a Transatlantic. I will eventually. I'm retiring soon!
So many people farted in cues in front of me, on my last cruise it was appalling!
Hilarious!! 😂 Thanks for this video, Morgan!
OMG 👀🤯👀 Thanks for the Warning ⚠️ And YES, you told her Right 🔥🔥🔥 How Rude 🤬 .... Let's Be Friends 😂🤣
Lol we love people watching that’s why I go to the bar and sit.
Seems we all lost our collective potty training during the lost year of 2020. And now we all throw spit balls at each other. What is the world coming too with all this bad behavior. Do manners mean anything anymore? The hot tub picky pimple story almost made dinner make a reappearance. Re the buffet, I know when I frequented Las Vegas buffets, the expected behavior was if you wanted seconds, it was permissible and encouraged to jump in for a quick dip and then immediately get out of the line. I think it was a tactic to not have people hanging in long lines. Cruise ships may be different. Keep on keeping on
We cruise mostly Carnival quite a bit and have not seen anything like this on ANY of their ships. I am older and do have the "Grumpy OLD man" personality. I am also a professional clown and I WOULD say something to all of those situations. I can be in your face a bit but NEVER Rude and CRUDE. We are on 2 cruises this summer and hopefully will not have any of these situations.
Going on a TA in Nov....on Royal. Barcelona to Port Everglades and I am seriously hoping I don't run into these type of Neanderthals. Enjoyed your video.
Never cruising again. Don't need that type of a show on display during a vacation.
So nice to see Chris from Chris Wong vlogs!
Oh my gosh….I can’t stop laughing!!!😂😂😂
"Straight couples; why do you do that?" 😂 I wish I knew! These tales are better than fiction. You're a great story teller.
lol! when I was on Adventure OTS in the Windjammer waiting 3rd in line at the waffle station. the girl making the waffles, placed some freshly made waffles on the plate. the 1st lady in line took the tongs & took 1 waffle, the 2nd lady in line then took 1 waffle...remember, I'm 3rd in line... but no...the 1st lady in line picked up the tongs AGAIN and took another waffle! I turned to the lady behind me (4th in line) and politely said "I promise, I will only take 1!"
Holy crap. Some people!!?!
Stories like this are why non-cruising travelers look down on the community. I really wish the cruiselines would be stricter about putting a stop to people's entitlement and cutting off heavy drinkers.
Where did he mention that alcohol was involved in any of these situations?
What's annoying to me is when you go to the theatre and walk the aisles appropriately and politely ask people if you can get by them to a seat they sigh, or the people behind you sigh. If people would stop taking the end seats and move into the middle instead they wouldn't have to stand a dozen times to let others pass. And the people sitting behind should choose different seating if they don't want others sitting in front of them. Passive aggressive privilege.
10 days is enough time for a holes to lose what decorum they may have been desperately holding together. Haha! Laugh.
This is the first video I’ve seen from you and I immediately subscribed 😂😂
PDA has always bothered me, but I grew up in a different time I guess. The only people who were handsy with each other were teenagers. I miss those days..
I will never again go on a ship with 2500+ people and NEVER again with kids. It just makes me cring to think of all the things you talked about. People have lost their minds.
June of 2021 after Disney opened back up we held a Graduation party at Splitsville in Disney Springs. I was carrying a huge cake. The line to go through the security checkpoint was wrapped around at a great length.
We got in line and walked quite a distance. At one point a group of 5 people came up and completely cut the line in front of us. Completely lack of common courtesy. My husband was about to say something but I’m like- wait a second.
Since this was during Covid, I started coughing and hacking loudly. One of the cutters turned around and looked at me. I just continued hacking every now and then. Yes- the coughing and hacking were fake and I covered my mouth. But it was a nice way of saying- don’t be rude
Omg the pimple popping in the jacuzzi!!!!! That is why I don’t get in public jacuzzis or pools!! Gross! And for the healthy eating lady I would have said, what’s the point of eating healthy? We are all gonna die anyways!!! Lmao
We love to people watch on our cruise. It’s just fascinating to see some of the choices people make in terms of outfits, behavior towards the crew, behavior towards other guests and attitude. Since the “before times“ I think things have gotten a little worse.
Oh my, let's be honest since the "before times" they have gotten much worse. People read, hear, and see disgraceful behavior and emulate it, believing that their level of surpassing the original makes them superior. What a sad mess!
only American passengers act this way
Yes all are annoying. I am not sure why some people act that way. The speakers on watching TV in the restaurant is a pet peeve to me.
I lived in Germany for three years and had many rude comments towards me
Are you being too picky? Hell no! I just came back from a cruise on the Norwegian Pearl and I said to my husband "I'm going to message Morgan and ask him if he might address the behavior of cruise ship passengers these days". The rudeness and inconsiderate behavior we witnessed really had a negative impact on the enjoyment of our cruise. People leaving their food dishes and drink glasses on the floor of elevators; parents letting their kids run wild unattended and sometimes even when they ARE attended; adults with their bare feet up on upholstered furniture or thrown over the back of their seat; and this one was rampant....people having conversations using speakerphone on their cell phones or worse doing FACE TIME with other passengers all around them. It's called 'civility' and it needs to be resurrected.
Oh yes, loud conversations on phones are another thing that happens way too often. It's so inconsiderate!
She said that doesn't look healthy???? To a stranger? You should have pulled a Beverly Hillbillies and said "You're right. I was lookin for the possum and squirrel meat and my lard fried tators but, dang, nothin good here."
My commercial was Thred Up.
My ad was something about clipping a dogs toenails. I stopped it when she talked about how much it hurts them if you cut into the quick. I doubled over in pain at the thought of a hang nail.
Very entertaining. You have a new subscriber. 👏👏👏👏
Sadly, decorum is out the door today.
Hot tubs are human soup to me but popping pimples which is infection and washing it in the water is yet another reason why I dont. Ewwwwww
You left from Floriduh. That should have been a tipoff.
OMG! You always make me laugh!! Have a great trip.
Lawd have mercy. Not only are you justified in your view but they shouldn't be acting like that in ANY public spaces. I would've shouted "Get you finger out of her crack. This isn't carnival"😮
Morgan, can you do a briefing on buffet and elevator etiquette?
I feel like people need a full-on workshop with a check list.
Oh please, please. That would be such a public service.
We always try the buffet once to remind ourselves why we make other dining choices. Grabbing food with hands, ninling in line &;finger licking, yuck !
Add to the list the guy I saw walking through the buffet with his hand down the back of his sweat pants scratching his butt! 🤮
Oh now that is just nasty!
Because of the electricity not working in our cabin we missed our reservation so had to line up on formal night ( first time going) it took forever anyway finally we get seated and the couple next to we’re beyond rude the lady was loud and obnoxious and started picking at her teeth the partner said there’s bathrooms to do that in ?? And then she gets her dental floss out and starts flossing her teeth 🤮 and he said you should go back to our room and she says I’m not going all that way up to my room . Was so disgusting and the food was awful (Symphony)
You was right on all occasions. Society is going down hill fast especially with the younger generations.
What is wrong with people.
We agree with you!
Advertisement was Birkenstocks and tripleA roadside assistance
Captain Morgan! I watch your videos but I have not commented in a while but today I have to because of people's behaviour and lack of manners. In the past few years there is a degradation of people's manners and it is not very nice.
As to the commercial(s) 1 was for the Rocky Mountaineer Railroad and 2 was for the movie Blackberry
And may I add that the woman popping her better half's pimples and rinsing her hands in the hot tub water is disgusting behaviour ... no if's or but's
I love it when you comment, AidaJof, (and I know I know your real name but I can't think of it right now. Sorry!)
Some of those behaviors will result in arrest, a fine and/or jail in many foreign countries.
Hey Morgan! We still think about our Symphony transatlantic crossing and what a pleasure it was to meet you. We were on a cruise last November where we were walking about 10 feet behind a nicely dressed senior couple as we were on our way to the Diamond Lounge and they were on their way to a Mass. The man kept picking his nose and flicking his buggers onto the carpet. He did this 4 or 5 times!
Hello you two! The booger thing is so gross. I'm always shocked at how many guys pick their nose and rub it on the wall while peeing at the urinals. Disgusting.
I know the biochem side of me would have offered him a tissue since he clearly needed one. How gross! Wonder how many bloggers are in his home?
Save this list for Book #2! "Straight People, Why Do You Act Like That?" by Morgan. 🤣🤣🤣 (I didn't get a commercial)
Thank you for giving quite a lot of great laughts! I've seen a lot of vizarre behaviour from some people but the only place I can sere such a lot of peculiar behavioues is on a cruise ship. I think the reason for that is that a cruise is different from their time at home and so they are in a new setting and haven't "learned" how to behavior or how to handle certain events. For example, I highly dought that the who climing over the seats in a local movie theater like you described regarding that man in the ship. He hadn't "learned" how to do it yet timr, it was a "new" situation to deal with. I am sure he definitely WILL do it the reason way net time. I know that food behaviors take a while to learn (may several cruises) since at home they don't have dozens of various kinds of goods there for the taking. At home they get it off a kitchen table, or their plate is surved to them. Maybe three cruises is enouch to teach people if they do too much letting fingers where they should not roam. Anyway, keep on laughing...there are going to be continue to be "newbie" crusies to demonstrate peculiar behaviors...just so they keep away from jumping overboard or smoking in their stateroom...or even stay out on an excursion too long to back to the ship!
VRBO ad. People have lost their manners
And where did the guy put his hand after it was in her “crack”. The elevator buttons? The door handles? The stair rails? OMG people are disgusting
I would have said "Sie sind Verruckt" to the woman that commneted on my food. People are so uncouth these days. I am straight, but do not believe in PDA's. Nobody needs to see what I do behind closed doors in public. I wonder what happened to common courtesy and decorum? My commercial was for Wyndham hotels.
Hihi, Sure I was smiling but...I better accept this kind of behaviour on my first cruise coming up because else I have a really hard time. Unlike you I'm not able to keep my opion unsaid, so respect for you!
when covid started and everyone had to wear mask everywhere - a person in front of me at walmart was extrememly rude to the cashier. when i got up there i asked her if she thought people got ruder since the mask wearing started and she rolled her eyes and said ohhhh yes -- so maybe the rude people around still think they have a mask on and are incognito.
When Periscope was a thing there was a channel I followed devoted to RCL cruises. The experiences documented on those clips convinced me to never sail RCL and your experience has ratified my decision.
Surprisingly, we love Celebrity which is an RCL line but the clientele are worlds away from the boorish behavior you describe.
Anyway, loved the segment and hope you arrive at your final destination safely!
I’m one of those people that follows the rules on cruises and never act like the people are that Morgan is describing from his cruise in this video. If I followed the rules onboard my first cruise onboard carnival paradise back in 2013, I’ll follow them onboard my second cruise onboard Icon of the seas from Royal Caribbean soon.
Have a great cruise Michael.
Hi, Morgan! I am curious if there is a way for you to sign your book for me. I have not purchased it yet but I was planning to do so for reading material om my fist cruise in 3 years in July, so I have a bit of time. I would really appreciate it if at all possible. Thank you!
Hi Robin, if we ever run into each other in person, (like on a ship or at a SofaTime: LIVE event), I would love to sign your book! Unfortunately, I don't have the possibility to send you a signed book. Thank you so much for your support!
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Cool thanks I hope we do !
