    Airline pilots spend multiple days in a crowded cockpit with coworkers they have never met before. An experienced one said "never bring politics, religion, or money into the cockpit". This also applies to conversation on cruise ships!

    Enjoyed this video, Kevin. Lack of situational awareness, improper hygiene, lack of theatre etiquette, chaise hogs, elevator "mobbers", and I guess what I'd call just lack of common courtesy or manners, are my big pet peeves. Many of them overlap yours.

    There's an old quote and I don't recall the exact verbiage, nor who said it, but the gist is that "the people most willing to share their religion with you are the least likely to be interested in yours." And unfortunately in the US today, politics has turned into a quasi-religion for some to where they want to shove their beliefs down your throat but can't even have an open minded discussion about yours. I think if people just spoke to each other as people, like you mentioned, we'd see that we're all MUCH MORE alike than different. And you know what, even the areas where we differ, we can learn from each other. That's what makes traveling so amazing. Meeting new people and learning about others' history, beliefs and culture. Great channel by the way. I just found you and have begun binge watching your videos. Thanks for the great content! (Edited: Also, thank you for your service!)

    Having recently got back from a P&O cruise, we found the most annoying things fellow passengers do is, 1, people getting into full lifts that they know are going in the wrong direction, for example, if they want to go up, they get into a going down lift and say ‘we have got in for the ride, fed up of waiting, 2, people returning to their room late at night making lots of noise and then switching the TV on very load, while their neighbours are trying to sleep. 3, people filling their personal water bottles up from the buffet restaurant water/juice machine. 4, people sneakily smoking in no smoking zones then leaving cigarettes ends on the floor, or as we discovered shoving them down the back of sun lounges. In our experience we have found American travellers to be much more considerate and polite compared to the British !

    Thanks for your service to our country, and thanks for the videos. I have been on hundreds of cruises, and it never ceases to amaze me that someone would leave a tray of uneaten food on the floor in the hallway outside of a stateroom. They could just as easily leave it on the counter inside the stateroom and the attendant will gladly remove it when they clean. No one wants to see your sloppy eating habits, and possibly trip over a tray in a hallway that is very narrow to begin with!!! p.s. They also do this in hotels on land....very un-neighborly.

    On a cruise for a wedding, it was in March...so lots of college kids on spring break drinking loads of tequila...use the bathroom off the pool area and of course someone had PUKED in the sink...not the toilet...the sink...so gross! Also, the way some of these kids treated the staff was embarrassing...I would go and tip them extra because I felt so bad!!

    OMG Kevin…. After 40+ cruises, your #2 is my biggest complaint! I agree, people who just 🛑 STOP 🛑 in the middle of a hallway, without any recognition of anyone around them … it just makes me crazy! That includes those on foot or in those scooters!!! As you said, just pull over to the side!
    The craziest (and rudest) thing I’ve seen on a cruise is that one-loud-guy who sits in the various trivia games and, at full voice, shouts out what he thinks the answer is, even though he isn’t technically playing the trivia! Makes me crazy 🤪

    Hey Kevin, I just got back from my first solo cruise and a second cruise with some friends.
    I did the solo based on watching you and I went on MSC Magnifica. I loved it. I had so much fun. A smaller ship so I didn’t feel quite so lost. Met some really great people.
    The second cruise I went on Princess with three of my friends from high school, and I ended up getting sick and spent three of my seven days in sick bay on the Caribbean princess the medical staff there are incredible.
    Love your list. Some people are so gross. 🤢

    Yes, I have to agree with all of these. People seem to have no spatial awareness anymore. There always seems to be an “extra wide” couple walking side by side down narrow corridors, waddling back and forth so there is no way around.🤦🏽‍♀️Also, I had young grandchildren with me last cruise, so we used lots of the public restrooms. It was very disheartening to see how many women left the restrooms without washing hands…😬

    Hi Kevin, great video! I've been watching you since you were living in your van and I love the way you've decided to define your travels according to your desires and interest vs how some people think you should travel. Bravo! I LOVE IT!
    i just wanted to say that even though I was interested in living in an RV for several years, once the pandemic hit and the prices soared, I rethought that position. I'm still going to do it but when I feel I'm in a better position to handle the costs that most CZcamsrs never discuss. In the meantime, your channel has helped me to get interested in cruising and I'll be taking my very first cruise in the early part of 2025 (as a solo female traveler). I can't believe some of the things cruisers have done; it's like they left their manners and good sense at home. I've seen some of the same types of actions you've discussed in Vegas. It's almost like people believe they've become the richest, most royal people on earth and feel the necessity to treat others poorly. Most of the videos I've seen show the crew as very hard-working, very pleasant people. They shouldn't be treated as poorly as they are by some cruisers.
    As a new cruiser, I'm a bit nervous about going on a cruise ship. Especially since I've never seen the ocean! But I'm truly excited to experience cruise life! Since you were a sailor and have been sailing on a cruise ship, I wanted to ask your opinion about calming seasickness while sailing. I'm sure if you haven't experienced it, you've seen others who have and maybe you have some good tips to share.
    Again, thank you so much for doing these travel videos; I adore them so much and look forward to watching more. I also am nostalgic about Princess cruises because I was a Love Boat series fanatic. TBH, I STILL watch the reruns! This was one of the main reasons I decided to go with Princess as my first cruise ship, along with your videos!
    PS: I love that you were a lawyer and have since gone on to "other" interests. I worked in the legal field for 32+ years so I'm in my "next" act (i.e., writing my first novel). However, you have me beat by one act: being in the USN! I retired from the Department of Veterans Affairs (and previously worked for the Department of Defense) so I truly appreciate AND applaud your dedication. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
    Happy sailing!

    The hand washing station outside the buffet is fantastic! I love it and think every restaurant should have one near the front door. I haven't seen anything like that since the handwashing station we had to use outside my old school cafeteria in the 60s.

    MSC allows passengers to book one or two-day trips to local European stops. It feels almost like a bus ride at that point. We noticed multiple times that the passengers would empty the tea and sugar trays into large bags. The weirdest was when a passenger made tweenty or so sandwiches from the the buffet area and ziplocking them to go. They were going to get their money's worth!😁

I live in central Florida and close to several ports, but I've seen a lot of the Caribbean already. Maybe I'll try a trip out of Port Canaveral alone (30 minutes from me), just to see how it goes.

    You are spot on with all of these! As a former cast member for TWDC one of the things we were trained to do is look up and down and to pick up, throw away, put away anything not in place! Put it on a table, put it on trash can...don't just drop it on the floor and not pick it up! Like seriously that glass was too heavy to carry to you stateroom and put on the desk?
    And getting angry at people that have no control over a situation...oh man working in hospitality it happens all the time. If you go off on some poor 18 year old college kid and I am around I go all "mama bear" on those folks. I have no problem telling people who are upset or demanding something why it's being done that way. Will always be truthful, but scaring some poor kid? Yeah nope. Just stop ... Be nice if you want to voice a complaint! And definitely go to a manage or guest services!

    I enjoyed hearing some of your cruising pet peeves, Kevin -- I agree with them, and would add most of them are among my pet peeves of what people do on land too! :P As for stuffing food into cargo pants pockets, unless the food is wrapped, why would you want to get your clothes all dirty/wet/greasy/smelly, and that you then wear around next to your body? And if you can't get the stains/smells out later, you would have ruined a piece of clothing! Especially since the buffet is free and all-you-can-eat, can't they find some other kind of container to take the food to a different location? I just don't get some people...::smh::

    I was on the Carnival Celebration inaugural sailing, and I bought one of the nice "inaugural season" hoodies. During a deck dance party, I took off the hoodie and put it on the bench by the pool, three feet away from me, where I could see it. About a minute after I took it off, a woman came over and sat right on it. I went right over to her and said "hey, that's my hoodie." She started yelling at me to not make a big deal out of where she sat. It was very evident that she intended to walk away with it.

    That cup at the stairs is so not cool- that could be a disaster!! And I agree
    on the people that work on the ship(s).They have to keep track of the maintenance of the ship(s)! And the pocket-filled shrimp- my goodness( I don't think so....)! Alright, Kevin, have fun!!🌅🛳🌺🤗

    Good video as always. As someone who has not gone on a cruise or watched many videos about this honestly the only surprising thing is the colors on the ship. People acting like jerks is to be expected but I have to admit all the gold and bright colors used in the interior are over the top. Yikes.

    We have cruised several times since covid ended and it is horrendious what poor hygiene people have!
    And it does mit matter what cruise line it is - high end or not do high end...
    Most of the passengers have learned NOTHING.
    Washing hands? Pfffff
    Using desinfactant? Pfffff
    Coughing or sneezing inside elbow? Why???
    Etc. etc. etc.
    People are disgusting!!!

    As someone who works with tiny humans, I was my hands constantly. I’m fortunate that our restrooms are between our classrooms with the sink in the room so that I can make sure they wash their hands too! I also ask them to wash again if they cover a cough or sneeze with their hands or pick their nose! Happens way too often!

  • @Michael-iw3ek
    @Michael-iw3ek Před 3 měsíci +4

    I have a question for you: do those big cruise ships feel crowded to you? I've been watching cruising youtube videos, and a lot of them give an impression that the big ships generally feel crowded. But in your videos you generally seem to be staying away from people (which to me is good). Do the ships you've been on feel crowded to you, or is it possible to stay away from people and still be comfortable? And what ships you've been on seemed more crowded, and which ones seemed less crowded? (purely in your subjective opinion)

    • @30AndAWakeUp
      @30AndAWakeUp  Před 3 měsíci +6

      There are certain times that certain locations are crowded but there are always places where you won’t find many people. Early in the morning you’ll pretty much have the ship to yourself. And the higher the deck, the less likely anyone is going to be up there.

    On your list of five things, there are none that are not done on land. While the guy who filled his pockets with shrimp is pretty bizarre I think more bizarre is: why would anyone ever enter a bathroom with food? Pizza on the toilet paper holder....insane. The worst thing I have ever seen on a cruise ship are people with open sores on their lower legs getting into the hot tub. Yes people in the plural! I will never ever use a hot tub any place but my home (which of course I do not have as I live in a coop). Well done video.

    Can you tell me if the Ruby Princess now has hand washing stations at each entrance to the buffet? I was hoping they would be added in drydock. We wash our hands before serving ourselves in the buffet and after touching all the utensils as we too have witnessed few people hand washing.

    HaHaHa, Kevin...don't worry. When you are on a ship for that long, you are bound to pick up on things. I had a blog when I was on the world cruise and the title was, Types of World Cruisers. It was a taxonomy of passengers that, well how can I put it, were not the best passengers on the ship. There was, The Blow Hard, The Complainer, The Loners, The Entitled, The Loud Mouth, The Coughers and finally The Normals. It was a satire on my true experiences on the Island Princess during our circumnavigation of our lovely planet. LOVE your channel. One day we will probably meet up on a Princess ship!

    Indeed, leaving garbage around is unacceptable. Stopping to chat in the middle of anywhere happens everywhere these days. But you being in the theatre during this one reminds me of the time during a show that someone down in front was on their phone talking loudly to someone on the other end...the performer in the middle of his song came down and sang in the phone and must have hung up and passed the phone back...still not sure if it really was a part of the act or not, but he did get a big round of applause! lol Indeed, even our kids in school had to wash their hands before eating and after coming in from recess...and hopefully they did in the washroom as well! lol Indeed, when I'm on vacation, I want to relax...leave the statements at home...or any type really! Goodness, the complaints that come have to put up with...I don't know who some people manage to keep a smile on their face while being barraged with verbal tirades...seems to be happening everywhere more and more often...such a shame as it really makes the experience bad for everyone around. I've asked for a container to take some food with me one time and was presented with a great little container with multiple compartments...no need to fill one's pants! That one takes the cake!! lol So happy to see you posting again on YT...really enjoy it!!

    Loved your list -- and didn't find it "whiny" or complain-y at all.
    I had to pause when you spoke about political views -- but you're absolutely right. I'm entirely comfortable ("liberal" even) about sharing my "conservative" views, albeit in a stereo-typically Canadian, diplomatic way, *provided the right environment* -- as a general rule, wearing one's political views on your sleeve (quite literally) is almost always a bad idea -- this is especially true when things are as polarized as they are today. Let's have some politic free zones -- and cruising would defintely be top of that list.
    Navigating crowds to and fro, and traffic on the road seems to constantly ensnare those with less self awareness and also the many who are "spatially challenged" regardless of whether you're on the freeway, or at your local super-market.
    The guy with his shrimp -- reminds me of my brother-in-law, actually -- you'll likely find there's some mental health issue or condition ( my b-i-l's is Asperger's). It's certainly, um, "out there" but it's good of him to provide a chuckle for the rest of us -- could also be stupid drunk, maybe?
    Cheers!...from North Vancouver
