Merlin7 Posted December 4, 2010 #27 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Have seen a family put ashore due to the behaviour of their teenage offspring and more medical evacuations than we care to recount. One was at the locks on the Panama Canal, a God forsaken place, and who knows where the poor unfortunate was taken. Have also been on board when a request for a certain blood group was asked for by the captain over the tannoy. Many responded but they had to have with them their blood donor cards, good thing to be reminded of for future cruises by those of us who donate. Unfortunately, the poor soul did not make it and we were later thanked by his wife in the daily paper for our efforts. Have never witnessed anything sadder than seeing the bereaved lady meet family on the dockside in the middle of nowhere. It was heart breaking. So, not all are rumours!!! Not even laundry rage which is so insignifcant as to not be addressed in the light of former, real happenings. Surprised that so few have encountered such situations or actually dismiss them as rumour.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that so few have encountered such situations or actually dismiss them as rumour.. I have seen a few passengers being transferred to ambulances in port and have seen people disembarking halfway through the cruise for whatever reason. I have never seen so many people in fresh plaster casts as I did on Ventura :eek: I heard rumours about passengers shoplifting and stealing photos from the displays on Ventura. That doesn't mean I dismiss them and don't believe them. I just never saw it with my own eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1160451 Posted December 4, 2010 Author #29 Share Posted December 4, 2010 wow....

Arcadia ?????? Are we safe from the rumours on there. Take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrym Posted December 5, 2010 #41 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Rum Rat, as an outsider, what do you think of the human race? You are being such an a*se on this thread. Good job you don't make these sort of comments to people's faces. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
