And sometimes....they do NOT think that, sometimes the CRUISE SHIP sets up a tour--and they take that tour and the tour driver fails to get them back on time.
The thing is, the ship DOES wait for passengers, for 20 mins or a little more. You are given a time to embark at a Port for a reason - the captain doesn’t just choose a time out of thin air.
As a ferry boat captain, when it's times to go, it's time to go. I have actually been behind schedule and had passengers that were upset with me because they were late for a late boat.Once the lines are cast...have a nice day.
Considering tying up at the dock again, having to pay docking fees again, and spending 45 min doing so, it's not cost-effective for the cruise line to go back.
@@Jaxon1127 We've seen people board a small boat and be taken to the cruise ship where they were able to board...this was about 5 years ago. Usually the latecomers have to pay their own way to the next port to re-board. I don't know why it was permitted on this occasion. Pier runners happen all the time. Why don't they understand that "all aboard" time means just that? And "all aboard time is typically 30-45 minutes before departure time!
same goes with the crew it happened Invinsor my friend who hapens to be his first contract so when the ship was on Victoria B.C he went out enjoy strolling inside the mall so when the it was boarding time he miss the ship because he lost his way and cant find where the terminal and not only that he lost track of the time. so it was the second day that he finally met a crewfrom another ship and asked help so he was escorted to the shore agent and they get in touch with the company unfortunately he cant join the ship in the next 6 days and he got to pay for all the expenses that was invited during his stay in hotel.
Even before you go on a cruise you are warned not to be late as the ship will only wait for late passengers if they are booked on a tour through the cruise line and the tour operator will let the ship know that everyone will be late. The ship will wait for them. But there are so many times you are told repeatedly on the cruise to make sure you are on ship time as no other time exists aside from cruise time. You are supposed to be back on the ship at least 30 minutes prior to departure time. I'm back on the ship at least an hour before.I'm the time keeper of our group. No way I will ever be a pier runner. That's got to be one very stressful,very expensive mistake to make.
I always have my passport, cruise newsletter, and wallet/purse with me. Not only missing ship..but if I get hurt all ill. That way authorities can contact ship.
Typically a ship give 30 mins warning about leaving port so if your late it your fault. For those that do not like this procedure abide by the rules and all is fine - like the vast majority of passengers.
Only themselves to blame . Ships have limited times in mornings as other ships are waiting to take over. Everyone is told the departure times so no excuses .

Not nice at all. Wrong attitude to have so young. And a shame parents don’t know to teach any differently. There could be any number of reasons but regardless, we could always be in the situation you’re making fun of and criticizing.
You guys are all wrong, and you don't know WHY they were late--neither do I. But I was there when a couple went ON THE SHORE EXCUSRION THE SHIP CHARGED THEM TO GO ON. And the shore excursion was late getting back, and so people could not sprout wings and fly back. Then, "second guessers--like you guys-assume they were screwing around. Get the facts--which you don't have, then judge, how about that?
@@jimquantic First off, ship sponsored shore excursions will absolutely keep the ship in port and wait on passengers if the sponsored excursion is running late because 99% of the time it’s not the fault of the passengers. It’s more than likely that couple booked an outside excursion especially if they were the only two out of 3-6000 people on a ship to be left behind. Otherwise you’d have an entire bus load of people sitting on the dock and it would have made headlines.
It’s not just passengers who get left behind, it happens to staff as well. As a showgirl/dancer on many cruises, there was one instance where half of our dance ensemble got left behind at one port, and had to pay out of purse to fly to our next stop.

That's ridiculous. They tell you what time it's leaving and what time to be onboard. Usually 30 minutes prior to departure. You don't have to be onboard any earlier than that. HOWEVER!!! To be safe you should definitely be within walking distance of the ship if you're within an hour to go! Taxi's and buses breakdown and traffic and weather are unpredictable. When we were in Bermuda we considered going on a scooter ride the last day but departure was at 2pm and we balked at being that far from the ship after 10 am. Bermuda's wharf is really isolated at one end of the island. So we walked around the wharf area and then went swimming at Calico Jacks with Rum Drinks.

@@jamykovolenus8833 And the prettier they were the more they bitched.

I am not hard to look at and I would flirt with them and treat them like they were the pretties girl in the room and wouldn't look at any hot babes while I was having lunch with them. They had all my attention and I would tell funny stories and make them laugh. Honestly, they would have laughed at anything I said that was remotely funny.

Today we saw that happen in ATL 5 mins before a flights departure they repeatedly paged the passenger. That person never showed so closed and let the plane leave on time
Funny story. We were on Symphony of the Seas and a guy got left at the pier. A few minutes later a boat pulled up beside the ship( Symphony is a smaller ship) and the driver yelled up where's next port, to the passengers watching We yelled back down, think it was St Lucia. Driver waved, said ok and I'll get him there!! He took off flying!! The guy left behind was in the boat🤣!! That was in 2005 and my son still talks about it. 😂
You may wonder who in the world could be so stupid as to miss their ship departure? You will find them among those who are late for the muster drill. Always "special" people on every ship and short bus!
they could have been stuck in traffic, they could have been in a taxi and it broke down so I wouldn't start criticising people who miss their ship as it could happen to you one day then youll feel the same way they do and be even more upset when they read people taking the piss about it or criticising them you wouldn't like it if this was you,( just saying ).
@@jamykovolenus8833 And this is why I'm at the airport 4 hours before takeoff for a domestic flight. Yeah, the airport's getting a ton of my hard earned cash, but I'm not gonna be late when I'm randomly selected.
I’ve cruised to Bermuda many, many times. This is why you stay within sight of the ship on the last day. Also, there is plenty of shopping at Dockyard so it’s not necessary to go anywhere else to shop if that’s what they were doing.
😎😎😎 I have been on several cruises, and you learn HOW to cruise! In ports, we eat an early breakfast. We get off the ship when they let us off, we shop and be back in time for lunch 🍱 then we chill take a 😴 nap, shower, and get ready to 🎉 enjoy 😊 evening activities! 🤗 Cruising is a vibe, and if you do it right…you’ll hate to leave!!! 🥰. Missing a ship is stressful. Who goes on a cruise to be stressed? So, be RESPONSIBLE, and RESPECTFUL, and have a great get away! 😎
I went Jet Skiing in August there, very nice and wild ride. I remember we went to the tip of the triangle and got to see the ship wrecks and feed the fishes. We also went to the beach with "pink" sand. It was cool. Wish the shops and resturants didnt close so damn early. Bermuda know how to shut it down on a work week. lol
When I worked at the docks for Viking Line (Sweden-Finland), we had a passenger who got lost onboard a 6hr daycruise ship and did'nt get of in time, so he were left onboard untill the return the next day. I think he even got a free cabin for the night 😄🤣
@@jamykovolenus8833 Before I was born, my parents considered moving to Bermuda. They decided they didn't want to give up American passport. I didn't know Bermuda is expensive. Thanks.
Never missed my ship. Have little sympathy for those who do. I still always get a little disgusted watching how many other passengers seem to take delight in this misfortune though, and bark from their balconies at people who's vacations have just been destroyed. Reminds me of one of the few down sides of cruising - the other idiots on board.
I love it!! Entitled people deserve it. No way should the cruise keep 3000 people waiting for two or three that costs money, not to mention unpredictable weather patterns at sea. I’d have my G & T and watch free entertainment. 🤣🥃
@@jamykovolenus8833 Generally, it would seem that way. But by "Generally" I assume you agree it's not always an absolute, just like entitlement isn't . Irregardless of that, I was mostly taking issue with the behaviour of other passengers that was pretty well encapsulated by the last commenter gushing about how much they "love it" and see misery as some sort of bonus onboard entertainment. At that point what type of person is worse - the one scrambling for the dock or the one getting their rocks off on it?
They're on their own. They have to make arrangements to meet the ship at the next stop. At their own cost. An expensive lesson that has happened too many times to too many people for this to still be a thing. The ship WILL wait IF the passenger booked the excursion through the cruise line. If not they're on their own...
"I'm sorry, ma'am. You were told to be back at 4:30, we waiting for an hour and you were still late." "What do you mean late?! I'm an American, dammit!"
@@jamykovolenus8833 one would think so, but just like in civilian life there are always a few who think that rules do not apply to them. Hence, the brig (jail).
They had plenty of time NOT to miss the ship. Bonehead play on the passengers part. Get a room an contact the line on where they can meet the ship. Otherwise get a plane for home.
@@sarge6870 To bad. Why should the couple get special treatment that will cost a LOT of money while the vast majority of the passengers got back in plenty of time. No sympathy. We have cruised to more than 75 ports around the world, seen everything we wanted to see and made it back on time! We have witnessed numerous people pay a water taxi or some other smaller boat to bring them out to the ship and board while we are underway. Yeah, it cost them, but that's a penalty they earned by whatever they did that caused them to "miss the boat" !!
Of course the title is incorrect. This most likely happen over an hour of the required onboard time. On each of my cruises the required onboard time is posted as you exit the ship.
If you take a ship sponsored excursion, they will always wait on you because you're not the only person late and it usually isn't a passenger's fault. I also heard about a couple who rented some ski-doos (sea-doo?) where the operator takes you out to a location and you launch from there. Well, the operator got upset over something they did and abandoned them. Trying to get back to port, ran out of gas and another boat picked them up. They were able to reach the Cruise ship and it actually stopped long enough to pick up the guest from this good Samaritan's boat. How, who, and how long is at the captain's discretion and after hearing from the 3rd party, he opted to wait for them. I'm sure this has been told and retold, so I have no proof if any of it is true. But if it is, they were damn lucky.
@@eileenmcdonald1599 I follow 3 different cruise channels and they have all said it. If the shipping line contracts with a local tour provider, I would assume that neither party would want to deal with the fall out for breach of contract. If the passengers are on a bus or boat, there is nothing they can do to resolve it. The cruise line is not going to punish the passengers and leave them. Talk about destroying your reputation. But if the passengers go off on their own and hook up with a company has no agreement with, then it's at the captain's discretion.
I understand that if the ship is Gone.. you are screwed. But I see videos where they have pulled back to the dock and allowed to board.. Do they get charged any fee for holding up 1000s of people and having the workers on the dock do extra work . Because these people can't tell time ?
I think that they charge you to clean out your cabin, gather your belongings, and store them in a place when we got back. So yeah, a lot of $ was spent on their careless shopping trip. You can see the bag they are carrying. Hope they had their passports in that bag!!!!
@@jamykovolenus8833 .. But what about the ones that they pull back into the dock to pick up ? The workers on the dock, the gas to pull back in. The time the engines were running. Waiting for them ? I seen one U-Tupe video where the same couple was late 3 of the 4 first ports.. and the cruise line put them on restrictions from leaving the ship for the remainder of the cruise..
Not true. The ship will WAIT if you have an excursion booked through them. They will not sail unless the excursion will be extremely late. I think Tom may have seen videos where the ship may have not been far from the dock so it was able to return but when the ship is a distance from the dock, away she goes and your on your own.
That is why I only do shore trips that are booked through the cruise line. If you are late back from your shore trip (not the same as shopping), they wait for you.
The boy saying "you missed the boat - ha ha next time be more careful" should think for a minute - what if that was YOU! I hope the parents spoke to him. Just my humble opinion
There is Absolutely NO EXCUSE to miss the Ship! Especially if you're running back with shopping bags in your hands!!!🛍 I always made sure that I was at least an hour and a half back on time! When you do the excursions do it within the Cruise Line, it's more safe & God forbid in case anything happens that causes you to be late it's the ship's responsibility not yours! BE ON TIME!!! Evidently everyone else was!!! The World and the Cruise Line does not revolve around you!!! 🚢Bon Voyage!🚢 🖐🏽Bye Felicia and Felipe!🖐🏽
Pmsl...I can imagine.."yh carry on shoppin honey..the ship won't go without us..or Ile sue them"..😂😂😂😂..well that's what u get you big headed pompous wankers😀😀😀
Why don't these cruise ship companies make a fine of $500 if you are late or arrive back after the prescribed time, either pay the fine and get back on board or refuse to pay your cruise ends there and then you do not get back on board.
$500 won't cover the cost of delaying a departure. And there's no reason for it. And you delay 4-6 thousand other passengers because 1 or more dum-dums can't get their asses back to ship on time. The cruise line does not refund your ticket nor do they pay to transport you home or to the next port of call. And the lobster that the late idiots don't eat ends up in the crew's seafood chowder. That said, I like the idea of a fine (maybe $100/person) if you miss the ship at the last port of call because someone has to go in and pack up your nasty dirty clothes and all your sh*t in order to get it off the ship.
@@HAL_NINER_TRIPLE_ZERO The big problem is a lot of these people simply don't give a fuck who they inconvenience, by having a fine which is applied even if you are 1 minute late after the prescribed time to be back on board it might act to give them some incentive to be back when they should if the fine is $500 per head that would get results and they wouldn't likely want to do it again.
You think $500 even comes close to the port fees incurred by these ships for waiting? How about the customer spend $15 on a cheap watch and get back on the ship ON TIME like the other 4000 passengers???
I had a few cruise ship holidays. I have never missed the departure. How can you miss the departure? The departure time is clearly written on your reservation and many other places. You have couple of HOURS to come back to ship. Only the stupid , selfish and negligent people miss the departure.
These huge vessels are SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. How the fk do you miss something as big as this thing? bye people bye 👋 goodbye 👋 bye..... Good bye!!!! See you!!! Bye..... Goodbye!!!! ( 3 hours later) bye... Goodbye 👋 bye..... See you.. Bye.... Good bye.... Bye bye... Good bye 👋 bye... Bye... Peace ✌️ out people
Rather than standing there with their faces hanging out, that couple should have been trying to get a helicopter to fly them to the ship, or get a hotel room, or book a flight to the next port or home.
In Ushuaia Argentina (the 'end of the world') we were wondering why the ship's horn was blaring and people were waving, and where was everyone else? My watch battery died sometime within the hour before we were to be back on board. Things can happen. We got a good talking to from the Celebrity captain but they waited ten minutes thank god. Now we bring two watches.
10 minutes isnt too bad, people are up up to an hour or more. Still not a ligitimate excuse. The only real excuses are medical emergencies, because the local authorities have these funny little things called RADIOS that allow them to call the ship and let them know!!!!!
I have been on over 50 cruises. Never have I missed the ship. People are stupid to think the ship waits for them
And sometimes....they do NOT think that, sometimes the CRUISE SHIP sets up a tour--and they take that tour and the tour driver fails to get them back on time.

Today we saw that happen in ATL 5 mins before a flights departure they repeatedly paged the passenger. That person never showed so closed and let the plane leave on time
Funny story. We were on Symphony of the Seas and a guy got left at the pier. A few minutes later a boat pulled up beside the ship( Symphony is a smaller ship) and the driver yelled up where's next port, to the passengers watching We yelled back down, think it was St Lucia. Driver waved, said ok and I'll get him there!! He took off flying!! The guy left behind was in the boat🤣!! That was in 2005 and my son still talks about it. 😂
That is hilarious!
You may wonder who in the world could be so stupid as to miss their ship departure? You will find them among those who are late for the muster drill. Always "special" people on every ship and short bus!
Funny! How true.
they could have been stuck in traffic, they could have been in a taxi and it broke down so I wouldn't start criticising people who miss their ship as it could happen to you one day then youll feel the same way they do and be even more upset when they read people taking the piss about it or criticising them you wouldn't like it if this was you,( just saying ).
and don't you love them NOT
@@tonyp011....That's why you leave early so you can get there on time even if problems come up
@@jamykovolenus8833 And this is why I'm at the airport 4 hours before takeoff for a domestic flight. Yeah, the airport's getting a ton of my hard earned cash, but I'm not gonna be late when I'm randomly selected.
The little kid saying bye sounds like the little boy saying bye to the spaceship at the end of 'close encounters'.
Bye, bye Billy 😂😂😂😂
Hey Locknath...people KNOW the departure times. If they miss it, too bad
Rob Tro is your surname Tro? Spelt Tro and not Trow?
I’ve cruised to Bermuda many, many times. This is why you stay within sight of the ship on the last day. Also, there is plenty of shopping at Dockyard so it’s not necessary to go anywhere else to shop if that’s what they were doing.
Yup
It's always best to be onboard earlier than advised
😎😎😎 I have been on several cruises, and you learn HOW to cruise! In ports, we eat an early breakfast. We get off the ship when they let us off, we shop and be back in time for lunch 🍱 then we chill take a 😴 nap, shower, and get ready to 🎉 enjoy 😊 evening activities! 🤗 Cruising is a vibe, and if you do it right…you’ll hate to leave!!! 🥰. Missing a ship is stressful. Who goes on a cruise to be stressed? So, be RESPONSIBLE, and RESPECTFUL, and have a great get away! 😎
I went Jet Skiing in August there, very nice and wild ride. I remember we went to the tip of the triangle and got to see the ship wrecks and feed the fishes. We also went to the beach with "pink" sand. It was cool. Wish the shops and resturants didnt close so damn early. Bermuda know how to shut it down on a work week. lol
There's never an excuse to be unnecessarily entitled.
When I worked at the docks for Viking Line (Sweden-Finland), we had a passenger who got lost onboard a 6hr daycruise ship and did'nt get of in time, so he were left onboard untill the return the next day. I think he even got a free cabin for the night 😄🤣
More food choices at the buffet without them!
Time to go to the airport and fly home if they don’t miss the flight too ✈️ what a waste of a vacation.
They probably did miss their flight!
They just have to fly to the next port the cruise is scheduled to visit and wait there to get back on board.
@@ats-3693 this was the only destination. Three days in Bermuda, then back to the USA. They had to fly home, or swim!
@@jamykovolenus8833 Oh lol, bummer..
If that were me, I’d get a room for few days then fly home. I live near Boston and it’s only a two hour flight. Not that expensive either..
Beautifully said Joe.
If I had to get stuck any of these places, it would be Bermuda. JetBlue goes there from Boston, it’s like a 2 hour flight...
The water is gorgeous. Hope you had a beautiful cruise.
Bermuda is expensive, perfect to cruise to! Spent 3 days docked. The water is beautiful!
@@jamykovolenus8833 Before I was born, my parents considered moving to Bermuda. They decided they didn't want to give up American passport.
I didn't know Bermuda is expensive. Thanks.
Many years ago, we took plane to nassau bahamas and another time to negril Jamaica. I hope to see a few other countries.
Love the little kids waiving bye lol.
The water is so incredible blue! How beautiful! Where is this?
Bermuda!
@@jamykovolenus8833 just gorgeous!! I have never been, but definitely on my bucket list!
They did not get on the ship. There was only one stop, so I assume they had to fly back to the USA.
That maybe tough--without a Passport
Some people are too cool 😎 to follow the rules!
Never missed my ship. Have little sympathy for those who do. I still always get a little disgusted watching how many other passengers seem to take delight in this misfortune though, and bark from their balconies at people who's vacations have just been destroyed. Reminds me of one of the few down sides of cruising - the other idiots on board.
Generally, with the time they leave the port clearly stated everywhere, it seems that the people who miss the ship are the idiots.
I love it!! Entitled people deserve it. No way should the cruise keep 3000 people waiting for two or three that costs money, not to mention unpredictable weather patterns at sea.
I’d have my G & T and watch free entertainment. 🤣🥃
@@jamykovolenus8833 Generally, it would seem that way. But by "Generally" I assume you agree it's not always an absolute, just like entitlement isn't . Irregardless of that, I was mostly taking issue with the behaviour of other passengers that was pretty well encapsulated by the last commenter gushing about how much they "love it" and see misery as some sort of bonus onboard entertainment. At that point what type of person is worse - the one scrambling for the dock or the one getting their rocks off on it?
Agreed
@@adamd3543 agreed.
5:53🤣 The kid in the background...LOL
I'm too afraid to miss out my drink package to pier run. 😁 I'm always early.
When you were young your Mom probably told you that you were special. Your Mom is not the Captain. Be early or stay home!!!!!!!!!
No ones fault but You're own !!!
did they allow the couple on or did they have to meet it at its next port of call assuming it was going to another port?
They're on their own. They have to make arrangements to meet the ship at the next stop. At their own cost. An expensive lesson that has happened too many times to too many people for this to still be a thing. The ship WILL wait IF the passenger booked the excursion through the cruise line. If not they're on their own...
Bermuda cruise leaving bermuda means next port of call is dembarkation. Half there vacation shot all for 20 minutes.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. You were told to be back at 4:30, we waiting for an hour and you were still late."
"What do you mean late?! I'm an American, dammit!"
Right?
Sucks for them. Grown adults should know better
Me too! Very laid back.
If you are on time, you are late. No symp for those disrespectful of crew, passengers, and time.
Those lower balconies fully visible from above….no thanks.
Right?
In the Navy you got thrown in the brig for missing ship's movement. It didn't happen often.
How could that possibly happen? One would think that a certain amount of discipline would be learned in the Navy, right?
@@jamykovolenus8833 one would think so, but just like in civilian life there are always a few who think that rules do not apply to them. Hence, the brig (jail).
@@tomwalshsr.6774 hahaha. I guess!😃
Tom Walsh, Sr. Some ships confine you to your cabin for the rest of the cruise
@@suzannepatterson307 great idea but don't wait even a minute.
If that's Bermuda I hope that couple had cash. It's a $100 one hour cab ride to the airport.
Time on board means exactly that. Next time, they will be on time. If you are going to be stupid, you better have a lot of money to waste!
I'm so jealous! I WANNA GO ON A CRUISE!!!
Don’t want to see Tom Cruise?
if you go make sure you always arrive on time or else you could be the next victim in one of these videos
There as a 30 minutes warning, after the departtime. So it is 35 minutes
I wonder what people will do next when they miss boarding on time?
They had plenty of time NOT to miss the ship. Bonehead play on the passengers part. Get a room an contact the line on where they can meet the ship. Otherwise get a plane for home.
Yup!
Since this was a cruise from the U.S. the next destination was home. No other ports other than Bermuda. 1 1/2 days there, 1 1/2 days back.
@@sarge6870 To bad. Why should the couple get special treatment that will cost a LOT of money while the vast majority of the passengers got back in plenty of time. No sympathy. We have cruised to more than 75 ports around the world, seen everything we wanted to see and made it back on time! We have witnessed numerous people pay a water taxi or some other smaller boat to bring them out to the ship and board while we are underway. Yeah, it cost them, but that's a penalty they earned by whatever they did that caused them to "miss the boat" !!
What was all that about?
Of course the title is incorrect. This most likely happen over an hour of the required onboard time. On each of my cruises the required onboard time is posted as you exit the ship.
People never read signs.
The "5 minutes in" refers to the time on the video when the couple shows up and starts running, not to the time after scheduled departure.
5 minutes into the video
Someone missed the boat....hahahaha. Kid is funny!!
Thanks!
Yes!
Bet you learn to tell time next cruise!
Understand people frustration with people missing the ship, but have some compassion, doubt they did it on purpose to delay departure.
That's 6 minutes I will never get back
ALL THOSE PPL ON THE SHIP, AND THESE 2 WERE THE ONLY ONES!!!!
If you take a ship sponsored excursion, they will always wait on you because you're not the only person late and it usually isn't a passenger's fault. I also heard about a couple who rented some ski-doos (sea-doo?) where the operator takes you out to a location and you launch from there. Well, the operator got upset over something they did and abandoned them. Trying to get back to port, ran out of gas and another boat picked them up. They were able to reach the Cruise ship and it actually stopped long enough to pick up the guest from this good Samaritan's boat. How, who, and how long is at the captain's discretion and after hearing from the 3rd party, he opted to wait for them. I'm sure this has been told and retold, so I have no proof if any of it is true. But if it is, they were damn lucky.
You are told what time to be back. If you are late you are left. No matter who sponsors it. Schedules are schedules
@@eileenmcdonald1599 I follow 3 different cruise channels and they have all said it. If the shipping line contracts with a local tour provider, I would assume that neither party would want to deal with the fall out for breach of contract. If the passengers are on a bus or boat, there is nothing they can do to resolve it. The cruise line is not going to punish the passengers and leave them. Talk about destroying your reputation. But if the passengers go off on their own and hook up with a company has no agreement with, then it's at the captain's discretion.
I understand that if the ship is Gone.. you are screwed. But I see videos where they have pulled back to the dock and allowed to board.. Do they get charged any fee for holding up 1000s of people and having the workers on the dock do extra work . Because these people can't tell time ?
I think that they charge you to clean out your cabin, gather your belongings, and store them in a place when we got back. So yeah, a lot of $ was spent on their careless shopping trip. You can see the bag they are carrying. Hope they had their passports in that bag!!!!
@@jamykovolenus8833 .. But what about the ones that they pull back into the dock to pick up ? The workers on the dock, the gas to pull back in. The time the engines were running. Waiting for them ? I seen one U-Tupe video where the same couple was late 3 of the 4 first ports.. and the cruise line put them on restrictions from leaving the ship for the remainder of the cruise..
@@thomasmertz4435 they do that when u have paid for an excursion and you were late. The boat must let u back on if u book through them only
Not true. The ship will WAIT if you have an excursion booked through them. They will not sail unless the excursion will be extremely late. I think Tom may have seen videos where the ship may have not been far from the dock so it was able to return but when the ship is a distance from the dock, away she goes and your on your own.
That is why I only do shore trips that are booked through the cruise line. If you are late back from your shore trip (not the same as shopping), they wait for you.
As soon as the ramp is in that thing is sailing.
Are they the Rossi Family ??
You'd think that after being in port more than 1 day. People would get back to the ship on-time.
There is literally nothing to see here
I'm sorry for your vision loss.
See at 5:10, the couple, one is wearing a blue shirt!
I don’t get why people who are late think the cruise ship should wait on them. Like really?
"The entitlement is strong with this couple."
They probably support Brandon to boot.
The boy saying "you missed the boat - ha ha next time be more careful" should think for a minute - what if that was YOU! I hope the parents spoke to him. Just my humble opinion
Agreed
Or maybe he has parents that teach him to be on time and take responsibility…
There is Absolutely NO EXCUSE to miss the Ship! Especially if you're running back with shopping bags in your hands!!!🛍 I always made sure that I was at least an hour and a half back on time! When you do the excursions do it within the Cruise Line, it's more safe & God forbid in case anything happens that causes you to be late it's the ship's responsibility not yours! BE ON TIME!!! Evidently everyone else was!!! The World and the
Cruise Line does not revolve around you!!! 🚢Bon Voyage!🚢
🖐🏽Bye Felicia and Felipe!🖐🏽
I would say especially true in a stop like Bermuda where most ships overnight, many for multiple days.
@@niuhuskieguy ... Absolutely! I Totally Agree 💯%
Good lesson for people no timed deciphering !
On today's episode of "Actions Have Consequences"...
Pmsl...I can imagine.."yh carry on shoppin honey..the ship won't go without us..or Ile sue them"..😂😂😂😂..well that's what u get you big headed pompous wankers😀😀😀
Why don't these cruise ship companies make a fine of $500 if you are late or arrive back after the prescribed time, either pay the fine and get back on board or refuse to pay your cruise ends there and then you do not get back on board.
$500 won't cover the cost of delaying a departure. And there's no reason for it. And you delay 4-6 thousand other passengers because 1 or more dum-dums can't get their asses back to ship on time. The cruise line does not refund your ticket nor do they pay to transport you home or to the next port of call. And the lobster that the late idiots don't eat ends up in the crew's seafood chowder. That said, I like the idea of a fine (maybe $100/person) if you miss the ship at the last port of call because someone has to go in and pack up your nasty dirty clothes and all your sh*t in order to get it off the ship.
@@HAL_NINER_TRIPLE_ZERO The big problem is a lot of these people simply don't give a fuck who they inconvenience, by having a fine which is applied even if you are 1 minute late after the prescribed time to be back on board it might act to give them some incentive to be back when they should if the fine is $500 per head that would get results and they wouldn't likely want to do it again.
You think $500 even comes close to the port fees incurred by these ships for waiting? How about the customer spend $15 on a cheap watch and get back on the ship ON TIME like the other 4000 passengers???
Maybe the ship should hand out cheap watches set to the right time on disembarking.
Were they passengers or just spectators ?
They WERE passengers. Now they are soon to be flight passengers!
I had a few cruise ship holidays. I have never missed the departure. How can you miss the departure? The departure time is clearly written on your reservation and many other places. You have couple of HOURS to come back to ship. Only the stupid , selfish and negligent people miss the departure.
It's simple it's the departure time is 4pm u be back by 240-250pm to give yourself plenty of time!!!! To me it's no excuse 🤷🏽♀️
Lesson learned
@theworldofcruiseships, this is my video, you can repost if you wish!
Where are the ones who missed it??
These huge vessels are SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. How the fk do you miss something as big as this thing? bye people bye 👋 goodbye 👋 bye..... Good bye!!!! See you!!! Bye..... Goodbye!!!!
( 3 hours later) bye... Goodbye 👋 bye..... See you.. Bye.... Good bye.... Bye bye... Good bye 👋 bye... Bye...
Peace ✌️ out people
I just had a " I can't believe I'm watching this" moment!! Stupid!!
Rather than standing there with their faces hanging out, that couple should have been trying to get a helicopter to fly them to the ship, or get a hotel room, or book a flight to the next port or home.
In Ushuaia Argentina (the 'end of the world') we were wondering why the ship's horn was blaring and people were waving, and where was everyone else? My watch battery died sometime within the hour before we were to be back on board. Things can happen. We got a good talking to from the Celebrity captain but they waited ten minutes thank god. Now we bring two watches.
We waited a long time for these people. Don't go far when it is the day to leave!
10 minutes isnt too bad, people are up up to an hour or more. Still not a ligitimate excuse. The only real excuses are medical emergencies, because the local authorities have these funny little things called RADIOS that allow them to call the ship and let them know!!!!!
