princevaliantus Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 All I can say is .... WOW !! Yelling and causing havoc gets you nowhere quickly!! https://cruiseradio.net/upset-cruise-ship-passengers-rally-for-refund/?fbclid=IwAR2R6T3BJ83ASzrR0sv1MyP09jZ6JX_DnLqE06N_sXvVDYxWIxPjtAUsWoE Srp431, Big Tule, YOLO and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdrfrag Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Yikes, mob mentality in a confined space like a cruise ship? I'd be quiet scared by that Srp431, Fuzzywuzzy and YOLO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhageerah Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I can understand their anger, but as has already been stated, yelling and screaming at the crew gets you nowhere. Put yourself in their shoes and think of how you would respond in that situation. I am just extremely glad that I was not onboard that ship!

Oliver Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I’m not sure why those people are so mad. Frustrated yes. But most of those ports were missed because of weather/high winds. It not like the ship had mechanical problems. And to scream in the face of an officer? Terrible. What is wrong with people? Geez.

PatsFanBrian Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I can't imagine what they were realistically expecting in that moment. The issues were not with the Captain and crew who's first priority is the safety of the ship and it's passengers/crew. But a mob does not exercise common sense, there's a reason why we have the term "mob mentality". It's a pretty sad display of human nature.

WAAAYTOOO Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I certainly understand the passengers’ frustration with all the port changes and cancellations but I wonder how these same passengers would have reacted if the Captain had made a different decision and there had been an accident due to the weather conditions. Like it or not, the Captain did what he did to protect the passengers and his ship. If there had been an incident resulting from bad weather conditions, these same passengers, along with the ones who did NOT “riot”, would have reacted even more strongly AND the Captain would have been liable for real. dejagatkins, FHSPSU67, YOLO and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzywuzzy Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Don't blame Norweigan, blame the Chinese. Ruining cruises is just the beginning of this new sinister Communist plot. What's next? Raining on parades? They must be stopped. SpeedNoodles, Phillo, SteveinSC and 8 others 1 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Instead of rioting they should actually be thanking the captain for avoiding Greenock lol SpeedNoodles, WAAAYTOOO and ChrisK2793 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobroo Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Please, please, please let all the frequent contributors here try to educate others so they understand not to behave like this. I understand the cruise line is culpable. I understand the frustration of the passengers. But please understand this is not a train, it is a boat.

This is so pathetic, grown ass man acting like a spoiled child/teenager. What kind of an adult acts like this?! Why not enjoy your cruise? As if the captain is purposely missing ports to spite the passengers. Wanting a full refund on a cruise that was probably already discounted if it was sailing in an a stormy season. Its like cruising the Caribbean in September/October, cruises are a little cheaper and odds are pretty good that your itinerary will be changed due to storms/hurricanes. Regardless there is absolutely no reason for an adult to be acting like this. teddy, Big Tule and Carlos A. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimnKathy Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Unexpected weather issues are a big reason I prefer the larger ships...way more entertainment, dining and bar options should a port or two become unavailable.
