THE 15 ANNOYING CRUISE BEHAVIORS
We love to cruise, and for the most part, we like our fellow cruisers. But sometimes, there are some rude or disrespectful people on a cruise ship. These annoying people on a cruise seem to go out of their way to try and disrupt everyone else's sailing. So, we made this video to help ensure you are not one of these characters. You need to avoid these 15 annoying cruiser behaviors on your next trip.
One of the biggest offenses is hogging pool deck chairs. These cruisers selfishly reserve deck chairs for hours while off using other parts of the ship. Then, there are others who do not wait for the elevator doors to open and others to exit before rushing in.
While this cruise behavior is banned on a cruise ship, many individuals still do it. That prohibited cruise behavior is trying to sneak items onboard the ship. The cruise line has a list of things you should never take on a cruise, this includes everything from the obvious contraband to alcohol to irons and steamers.
Other annoying cruise behaviors include constantly complaining and those cheapskates who try to remove the suggested gratuities from their account. Another behavior that could even lead to getting kicked off the cruise ship is getting drunk and belligerent with staff or other passengers.
Also, please wash your hands, especially prior to eating. Further, don't be the person who grabs items from the buffet with your bare hands. That is just gross! Likewise, don't think you are better than everyone else when you see a queue. Wait your turn just like the rest of us.

One behavior really rubbed me the wrong way. A lady and, as it turned out, her husband, reserved a total of 4 extra seats in the front row of the theatre for their friends/family, so I was unable to get my desired seat though I was quite early. What made it worse? None of them showed up, even 40 minutes later as the show began. Infuriating!
Thats just not cool.
Claiming a chair is a joke. I take the towel and toss it off 😆
That is one way to handle it. Lol.
Not worth the conflict especially on a cruise. Personally I'm an aggressive person but I don't want conflict on a cruise.
Supposedly, the Germans are known world wide for this habit.
So am I supposed to take my towel in the pool ?
@james … in other words you really aren’t aggressive … you are fake tough .
This has to do with the shows in the theater. We usually get there 30 minutes before show time and bring a book. Since my wife has a problem with steps, we seat ourselves on the aisle seats near the top. Many times late comers ask if we can move over so they can take our seats. A loud NO is how I handle it. Also people arriving AFTER the show has begun that try to get to seats stepping on your toes. And idiots using their phones with the bright screens after the show has started. The cruise line should close the doors a minute after the show starts. If you are late, no entry. Many think that since they paid for their cruise, they can arrive late, step on people and be pompous asses. Don’t get me started with seat savers!
I can't do steps either and also sit at the top. I can understand your frustration!
What’s even more annoying than loud talkers on cell phones is when they have it on speaker so you can hear the entire conversation!
I rarely ever use my cell phone but when I do, I have to put it on speaker to hear what is being said. I am so deaf that even with my hearing aids I can't hear without putting it on speaker. So sorry.
Agreed!
If that's the case you can get hearing aids that connect to your phone by bluetooth these days.@@charleneferrin2496
I was in a crowded elevator and this guy with his shirt tucked and shorts pulled up past his belly button (Visual) puts his hands up high in rhe air and nudges through everyone to the elevator to the back stating, "I'm a pinnacle member" and actually bowed his chest to show his pin off. I started slow clapping.....funny moment I guess lol
I yelled at some idiot who was yelling at the crew…she shut up pretty quick. Other passengers need to take action against some of these clowns
People just aren’t taught to be respectful or courteous anymore. They think they are the only ones who matter. We have a rule when traveling with others, No Complaining! Just go with the flow.
Sorry, but I don’t believe in hogging chairs for people who aren’t there. So I’m going to remove your stuff,and sit where I want to. No no no,there’s no line cutting,and I will call you out on it,especially if I’ve already been waiting.
Good for you. Happy cruising.
Ten years ago, on our first cruise in Hawaii we had a party of 8 Chinese passengers. There were four couples and they were the rudest people I have ever met.
Incident one was at our first port stop. My husband and I were near the front of a line waiting to get on our tour bus. There was a long line behind us and just as the bus pulled up and the driver and tour guide walked out, these people appeared. The leader (A huge intimidating man) waved the tickets in the guide's nose saying "This is the bus for the Best of Maui?"
The guide said it was but that all these people had been waiting first and they would have to get in line. The man then pretended not to understand English which annoyed many of the passengers who began pointing to the end of the line and saying "Back there." The party tried to stand their ground but the driver stood between them and the tour guide while the latter took our tickets. This made the leader very angry and aggressive so luckily the driver was a large Hawaiian man who could deal with him.
Throughout that whole day these people kept pushing their way through groups to get to the front of any line earning the ire of just about every passenger.
Incident two was a few evenings later in the theatre. My husband and I had arrived early and settled down in the seats we wanted when to our horror the leader of the Chinese group and one of his male cohorts arrived carrying bags and various items which they proceeded to place on seats in the row in front of us. Of course they had six seats reserved for the rest of their party and they sat in the middle. As the room filled various people came over and were told by the men that the seats were taken. Finally someone complained to a crew member who came over and was told, "They are at the toilet. Be here soon."
The crew member left but returned later to tell them it was almost time for the show and that she could not allow them to save seats. She said they could save two but not any more.
The big man stood up as if to intimidate this young crew member but she told him she was going to get her manager and that the seats could not be saved.
The manager came and put other people in the seats. The man was very angry but the manager was firm.
Soon two women, obviously the wives, arrived and took their seats and there was a rapid conversation in Chinese. The show began and then the other four people arrived to find no saved seats.
More loud conversations in Chinese. Staff members came over and shushed them, also leading away the newly arrived four to try and find some seats.
Thank goodness I did not see them again.
Thanks for watching.
Seven years ago ..we were at a dining room table on the first and second night with 4 other couples (assigned time and table). We all enjoyed each others company. On the 3rd night we were all separated to tables of 2 all over the dining room...in areas that normally had no table. We were all upset..we wantedtostay together....waitstaff didn't want us either. Come to find out ..some Chinese group money whipped us for our table with the maitre D' !!! Been mad about that for years!
@@detaronrockydoo6957 Thanks for this comment. Something tells me we will all learn much more about the Chinese in the not-too-distant future. And your post is a sobering thought!
Might be unbelievable behavior for us but it appears that the Chinese have gradually but steadily become more confrontational over past years. I do not think that this is isolated behavior.
Well stated!👏👏 I have 3 annoying and entitled situations from my cruising days. How about those people playing cards at the most busiest time of a meal in the buffet? There’s 6 people playing cards and they take up a total of 10 spaces. People, there’s a place called “CARD ROOM.” Go there instead of taking up valuable seats at the buffet. Secondly, unsupervised teens. Yes, they’re reeking havoc all over the ship and …where’s the parents? Cruise staff and passengers are NOT your babysitters! And the last one….wasting food at the buffet. Yes! Two teenagers each picked up a burger and load up their burgers and a huge plate of fries just to take 2 bites of their burger and left. Spoiled Rich entitled brats!
Very true.
A few ships are now eliminating the card rooms and libraries.
People who are way too loud indoors.
Using nasty language.
Attire that leaves nothing to the imagination.
Having animated, loud conversation right next to where musicians are playing in a small venue.
People who play their own music loudly.
People who don't control their children.
All of these bother me!
First, let me say thank you very much for doing this video.
I chose to cruise on holland america because It's geared more to senior citizens.
I have to agree with every aspect of this vido, you spoke my thoughts and my feelings, thank you.
For me, the first biggest problem is people at the ledo market.
We try to keep a little space between each person as we stand in line and wait patiently.
But as you said, someone will always try to step in. Like you're not even there. What makes this worse is the staff will just serve them.
Second problem, People need to understand on a ship that you've always passed on the left.
And the ship lines are gonna find themselves in trouble if they ever have on crisis because people will not know how to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion.
You will have pandemonium and mayhe, and people will die.
Third thing, your comments regarding elevators were spot on.
I can not tell you the number of times i've tried to step off and elevator only to have somebody walk right into me.
Thank you for making this public service video.
All cruise line should add a link to this video, in their correspondence to their customers.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Happy cruising.
My big one is the complaining. I’m finding some cruise tubers dwell on the negative ALL THE TIME!
Yes to ALL these, yes but my biggest pet peeve is anyone treating the crew bad! That is where I draw the line. I get so freaking mad. The crew is not your personal slave, treat them with respect. They work hard to make your vacation wonderful.
Everyone is due respect until proven otherwise.
Mistreat the crew, and you just proved otherwise.
@@juliatarrel1674 agreed!
Agree!
Most likely the person complainers are being unkind to has nothing to do with the problem.
What is up with the elevator thing!!?? 🤔 This happening where even at hotels, business offices etc... We're losing basic manners... 🤷🏻♂️
Sad, but true.
Buses and trains too.
I was amazed at the differences in "personal space." If you're from the U.S, people from other countries will stand WAY closer to you than you are used to. Not their fault but it's unsettling!
Yes, personal space is much different when on a cruise.
Personal space from the USA to other countries is sooo different. You can't really be upset at people from other countries who's space "bubble" is smaller than what you are ucustomed to, it's a learning opportunity 😊❤😊
great video :) i loved seeing all of the different ships in the video :) there was so many really nice ones :) love that most ships are all different :)
If I go on a cruise and somebody tries to reserve lounge chairs with their shit on it it will go right into the pool
Funny and true!!! Thanks for sharing 🛳️🛳️
Thanks for watching!
I think this video was amazing! You used to talk so fast that so many words got slurred and were hard for me to understand. You do such an amazing job now! Such a pleasure to listen to!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I’m as working on the narration. lol. Happy New Year. When is your next cruise?
@@Eatsleepcruise1 45th anniversary April on Wonder of the Seas. But I just became a travel agent and finished Princess Academy. Trying to schedule my graduation cruise which could be before then.
5:30 it's Fain and Laura from Travel Spree! 😂
Oh my good eye !!!!! What a small world 😂 travel squaddddd
Very good information especially the elevators
Totally agree with you! Great vlog. People can be rude, selfish and “entitled.” Terrible hygiene and grossly disgusting. 😖 You’ve said it all so eloquently. 😃👏🏼 Did you mention the guy (or gal) that complained at a high decibel while we’re all waiting to get off the ship at a port? Thinking he was so cool and needed attention cause he was just better than every other person there. 🤦🏻♀️ People. 🙄
Glad you enjoyed the video. Happy cruising.
Those are the same people who weren’t taught any manners in their childhood nor have much common sense. They display those same behaviors everywhere they go. 😐
Elevators: let those you obviously can't climb stairs (and their family) get on FIRST. Your legs (presumably) work. Mine don't. Please be kind to people in wheelchairs, using walkers, using crutches, wearing supportive boots or plasters.
Pier Runners: I bought a 'dumb' watch. One of the ones that won't pick up local time. Try that.
Yes and Yes! Thanks for watching.
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Gary (Tips for Travellers) and Emma (Emma Cruises) hooked me on the idea of cruising. I'm now (obviously) watching more channels, and go on my first cruise in November.
The elevators thing happens ALL THE TIME. And everywhere.
The pier runners thing, I haven't actually been on a cruise to test it (yet) but when I saw vlogs mentioning it my mind went straight to 'dumb' watches. And I went to Ebay. Cheap, pretty, and I've been testing its timekeeping ability. Perfect.
Irritates me when some able bodied person who can take the stairs overtakes a disabled wheelchair bound person to get in the crowded elevator. Dont be lazy, take the stairs if you can!
Good point.
Keep in mind that all handicaps are not visible.
The gratuities should be added onto the cruise price not as an added surcharge after the fact. It makes no sense to not just include it together.
I always prepay them so it's not a worry during my vacation.
I’m curious to see whether the nickel & diming that the cruise lines seem so intent on increasing sees an increase in cruisers ‘getting square’ with increasing lines at Guest Services of passengers removing the resort fees of the seas 🤷🏻♂️
Me too! But I would only reduce the gratuities by the amount increased after I booked. But I can see worse happening. It was a huge surprise to me that gratuities could even be removed.
@@susancook1448 I was on a recent Princess Cruise (here in Australia) and I reckon 1/3 of the ship removed the auto-gratuities based on my anecdotal observations and conversations. The Alfredo’s casual dining (at $15 p/head) has me wondering when passengers will ‘get square’ with the cruise line’s ‘guilt on-passing’ of their wages bill.
Great video ❤❤❤❤
Few people mention it, if any, but the drunks do not only get loud and obnoxious, they also vomit. It's disgusting and it can be nearly every night around the pools and party routes.
Good point, we haven't witnessed such behavior, but we are sure it happens.
Yes to all listed. Chair savers around the pool and in theatres are right up there as numero uno. Big for me is people who don't know what earphones are for. So they think everyone around them wants to listen to their very loud music .People who think adults only area means "no kids" except for their darlings . In these situations the posted rules should be enforced by staff so that nobody has to spoil their vacation by attempting to enforce rules. Another thing that really ticks me off is you pay for the thermal spa for peace and tranquility and then some people don't know it is quiet time for everybody and if they want to socialize it is best to do that around the bar or lounges. Voices really echo and boom in these spa places. Grrrrr. !!!!
After seeing your video and reading all of the comments I now understand why I prefer river cruising.
What’s your favorite river cruise? We just did our first and looking to do another one.
@@Eatsleepcruise1 Viking Rhine Getaway is great.
Using cloth napkins as tissue . Cussing using f word every other sentence in public and entitled people and tight wads that do not tip
Very true.
I quite enjoyed your oh so necessary lessons in etiquette. I hope many people will follow and heed your well chosen mannerisms or lack thereof.
I catch somebody putting their mitts into the food I will embarrass the bejeebers out of them
Great vlog as usual, well thought out tips!
BUT....................
My pet peeve is telling others how to spend their hard earned $$$$!!
How someone spends their money is totally their business !!!
Thanks for the continued well edited, informed vlogs!
Elevator etiquette is out the window! We will be waiting, we wait for those people to exit first then everyone behind us push past us to get on 1st!!! So frustrating
It happens all the time.
Entitled people are the worst.
Consideration is the same regardless of location !
It’s the same people that cause all the problems.
Most of us are perfectly fine and considerate
Finally, someone said it. Yes to every single one of these. We now live in a world of entitlement, and folks feeling like they should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want. And, I disagree. The one of nasty thing I hate about the buffets is the tongs, spatulas sitting on top of the food. They should put those utensils on plates in front of the food. If someone didn't wash their hands and now they've touched the utensils and put it on top of the food is gross. Im going to get some of those cheap gloves to use when going to the buffet. lol
Elevator basic 101 on land or sea, those who need assistance, are elderly or are in a wheelchair go first. THEY GO FIRST. 😊
I think I might be an elevator sinner. While waiting I tend to zone out and the sound of the doors opening signals me to automatically move forward.🤦♀️
We saw most of these behaviors on our last cruise. While we enjoy our cruise, praise the staff, and are thankful for the amenities, there are some very rude "entitled" people on board.
Rude kids with no parents. Kids in hot tubs with no parents in site small kids
I find your defense of mandatory gratuities far more offensive than people wanting to directly tip those that serve them.
Tipping can depend on your own culture /where you're from. For instance, the UK has absolutely zero tipping culture at all. In fact, if you did tip somebody over here they would look at you absolutely gone out. It's just not a thing or even an afterthought.
It can go both ways. I once had a dancer give me look of disgust because I wanted to take a picture of her in her costume while she was standing next to the entrance of one of the restaraunts.
I always pay gratuities up front plus I give extra
Us too.
Who would be complaining about the food. Cruise ships have a million options!
If I wanted to sit by the pool ( in which I dont) and I see towels on the chairs for a long-time I am that person that will move it. Everything u said is so true about inconsiderate folk on cruises...smh
One more thing kids knocking on doors at all hours of night
Yes. That is wicked annoying.
Do you , or does anyone, have insite if this is Caribbean cruisers, Mediterranean, Alaskan, all of the above or how about cruise line specific? And, where are the cruise lines? If they turn a blind eye toward some of the behaviors then they own a part of it. Thanks for this one and I do enjoy most of the content and your delivery :)
Thanks for watching. This applies to all cruises and cruise lines.
AMEN! 100% accurate! I nominate you for President of the US.
Finally using dirty dishes and eating buffet stuff while loading plate people that are rude to staff. Using sanitizer without washing hands is like using perfume without shower and people who don't wear deodorant in carribean. Gross
I hear people talking about people eating in buffet line. I’ve been known to drop a small drop of salad dressing onto a cucumber slice and eat it to see if I like the dressing. Is that rude? (This is a sincere question, not a challenge. It just never occurred to me that it would bother anyone.)
I love cruises but not cruisers 😢
All this makes me not want to go on a cruise.
Refilling the water bottle directly from the dispenser. 🤬
i`d to know -what happens if the stateroom has bed bugs , what now
Something I was reading about was the increased use of scooters and how those driving them are sometimes accidentally injuring others walking, causing bruises, trips, and even running over others' feet.
I get it, the scooters are faster than walkers and it can be hard to decelerate or even maintain a slow scooter rate, plus walkers in front might not be aware of a fast scooter behind them.
Somebody needs to create some rules for scooters and walkers to peacefully share the decks!
Very true.
We found a simple solution for a family member. She wanted us to rent a scooter for her on a cruise, so we let her use the scooters at the supermarket a few times. She would be too busy enjoying zipping along and looking around to pay attention, frequently bumping into racks and shoppers, even pinning me to a refrigerated case once. When our next cruise rolled around and she said, “scooter”, we said, “NO!” and would not back down. It probably saved a lot of bruised legs and mashed toes. 😊
Elevator there are also who are in the elevator and continue the conversation when they are on their floor holding for people who want to come in and are upset if you come in because you don’t know they want to come out but continu to speak
Fair enough. It works both ways.
Don't call us 'cheapskates' old chap. I assume you're from the states where tipping is starting to get a bit ridiculous. I was in NYC last week and the crackhead who mugged me hung about for a bit expecting a tip. Tipping in the UK tends to be based upon exceptional service, not expected but appreciated. Please don't try to tip in Japan where it is seen as very rude. I'm starting to get a bit cheesed off with the cruise lines (as you might say in the US) 'nickel and diming' us at every opportunity. I always opt out of the automatic gratuities and tend to do it the 'old-fashioned' way i.e tip the people who I have interacted with on the ship who deserve a little extra. It certainly is not incumbent upon me to subsidise the crew's wages because the lines pay them crap wages. Cruises are expensive enough these days, especially with all the major lines desperately trying to make up the losses incurred during the pandemic. Not their fault obviously , but they have shareholders to keep happy. Cheers and happy cruising from a rather chilly Otford, Kent, UK.
whah whah
You forgot the one where you are sat by the pool enjoying the music and the couple next to you decide to play their own music on their phone! So rude!
I hate when people eat while making their plates at buffet. Lick their fingers then touch everything.
That’s is wicked gross.
Not washing hands fingering food at buffet not using tongs. Bitting lines
try to avoid people. Most times I'm successful. Don't like to sit outside on deck chairs. Most people don't have manners. There are many sites that have packing advice. I've met some of those people. A few times ship shore excursions have come back late. I do the same on gratuities. I won't remove the tips, but, they may not get anything additional. No one washes their hands on a cruise ship more than me. Hate the seat savers. No more than two alcoholic drinks for me and usually at a meal. Give an ovation at the craps table after a shooter has a good roll. No, there is no such thing as a perfect person.
Hey....Hey you....Hey..Hey....calling the bartender, server or any body Hey You.......everybody has a name and a name tag......please call people by their name. common courtesy gone out the window
Probably get lynched for this one. The type of behaviour that sets my teeth on edge are those who cannot hold a quiet conversation but insist that those around them can hear it as well. This could be whilst sitting in a restaurant or bar and a person in the next table insists on sharing what they are saying with everyone around them. Although not exclusive it seems to often happen with groups of Americans. Can happen in my own country too but mainly when on the phone. In Britain it is considered to be rude but something we grin and bear as no one will confront the offender. On a cruise this happening whilst I am trying to getting some relaxation would be annoying.
Good Gawd. You make being on a cruise ship sound like the worst possible vacation. At least if I go to some mega resort that hosts 5000 people at a time (are there any?), I'm not trapped there; I can go home!
What else annoys you guys? Remind us on your channel on what cruises you'll go on, so we don't book the same.
Some people r so rude dont thick of other people
Please get off your high horse regarding gratuities. As ex crew I much preffered cash tips.
We do both. Many times those who remove gratuities don’t tip at all.
Most of your information is good, but I don’t understand why someone should automatically tip more than the prepaid gratuities. The purpose of the prepaid is to reward exceptional service. But that means we are tipping before service is rendered not knowing if the service is exceptional. I know this is a touchy subject. I always do the prepaid just for convenience, but I will not tip above and beyond the already paid tips unless the service really is outstanding. Tipping more than the prepaid should not be expected nor encouraged. It’s a personal choice.
We agree. You don't have to tip more, but we do, and we suggest bringing some additional small bills in case you choose to do so. Thanks for watching.
"Don't be confrontational, but stand your ground".... that's continuing a confrontation
Why are u complaining on a cruise...it's annoying its usually stupid stuff. I have seen several cruise vlogs with dumb ppl are sneaking liquor in different bottles ( shampoo bottles)
Great advice except for “sanitizer “ EXTREMELY BAD FOR YOU and your immune system. Do some research. Washy Washy!! Thanks for good warnings 👍
I agree that washing with soap and water is superior, but I am horrified at seeing how many people don't wash after going to the bathroom. Having hand sanitizer available might at least get those idiots to 'decontaminate' somewhat before they spread their germs everywhere. Per the CDC: If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, and wash with soap and water as soon as you can.
@@briansanderson65 my dad worked for the CDC and I will not use the alcohol and petroleum products that they recommend. He always said, the recommendations are motivated by nonsensical studies that have pre determined outcomes. Do your own do diligence. Your skin is your largest organ and is not meant to be “sanitized “ with chemical shite! Happy Cruising. Wash your hands and stop worrying about the germ theory and other people’s filth.
I skip the washy washy every time. I wash my hands before I leave my cabin and go straight to eat AND carry my own stuff.
Get over it. If people bother you just move away.
16. Black people….
