Fuzzywuzzy Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 The cat is being tended to by Royal staff and will be repatriated by the cruise line at their expense. The passengers face no charges. Since this is apparently how things are handled don't be surprised to see smuggled ferrets, pythons and the occasional loris on an upcoming cruise.

AlmondFarmer Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I’d love to bring my favorite Clydesdale horse on my next cruise. It is my comfort animal of choice. In order to have a chance to smuggle this horse onto the ship I first need to get it with me on a flight to Miami.

Cakemeister Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 The next people in the cabin could have severe cat allergies, making their cruise a miserable experience. PPPJJ-GCVAB and Pattycruise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadget Hackwrench Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 This is just one reason why cruise lines need to come down hard on people that intentionally violate cruise rules, allergies run the gamut from minor to life threatening. I have a niece with a severe allergies to cats. Which is a shame, since I own four cats so she can never visit. I remember back in the days when if someone broke the rules of the sea we forced them into a rowboat and sent them off to a nearby deserted island. When someone was hoarding all the rum we made them walk the plank. PPPJJ-GCVAB, WAAAYTOOO and tingtang 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadget Hackwrench Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I don't blame the cat, if I were one you can be sure I would sneak into every suitcase in the hopes of a Royal Caribbean cruise.

Every cat we've ever owned has climbed into every open suitcase ever placed on the bed, whether packing for or unpacking from a trip. Max was three cats in a small carry-on.

TimeRacer Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 My younger cat would just live in a suitcase if I'd let her. As soon as it's opened, she's in it. Makes it a challenge when I'm just trying to put the nesting suitcases back together for storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be me! My throat closes up almost immediately when in the vicinity of a cat. I have to pay attention when boarding a plane to be sure there is no one around the boarding area with a cat. Even when booking a hotel I have to be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 For us, the cost of a catsitter is part of our cruise planning. We skip internet, and it's a wash. We usually have a couple of free days to stay in touch with the sitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did they simple stateroom cleaning? Where was the litter box (and just how did they dispose of things), let alone how did they sneak all the cat stuff (food, sneak kitty litter, a cat box, etc.) on. I promise you, that long a trip would require a not-tiny amount of that stuff... CrimsonCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
