they call security who tells you to "quiet down" lol as me and friends can attest too..we were just drinking and being rowdy, no fighting..then security kept walking by giving dirty looks and "watching" us..finally they said we had to break up the party :mad: it was like 9pm! of course when you have been drinking (with a lot of people, all ages) and the party is cut short you have to run throughout the atrium stair cases yelling over at security, we thought this was the FUN ship??! .. yea I'm an adult but man we were having fun!

On our last cruise, this past January, aboard the LEGEND. A security guard sat outside a room for 2 days, just down the hall from us. Never heard what happened?

 

Never seen any altercations on our 3 cruises, though on the LEGEND we did see cruise staff have raised voices altercations twice!?

 

Someone earlier mentioned it might be like garbage at Disney World, gone before you see it. On our last cruise we hit DisneyWorld the day before cruising, the cruise before, we did Disney Land the day before cruising, an advantage to getting to Port a day or 2 early. I will say DisneyLAND was MUCH cleaner than the grounds at DisneyWorld, by far.

Thats a funny thing we asked for security to stop by our cabin last month on the Liberty and they never showed up

 

We had pro balcony door slammers next door :)

 

When I went to guest services and complained again she said security didnt hear anything

 

I laughed and said thats because they were on their balcony

I don't know the exact quote, but thats not entirely accurate as it was Picard telling that to Riker

 

Being my DD called me a not so flattering name when DW stopped on Big nang Theory, I was not about to put on my Picard uniform and pull out my Generations DVD and look for the exact quote.

the liberty does not have a brig.[/QUTE]

 

Yes they do, we saw it on the Behind the Fun tour.

 

interesting. the hotel manager told us there is none on that ship.

Did they call it the brig or was it part of the infirmary?

We just returned from a Triumph cruise, where we did the behind the fun tour. They showed us the brig, but told us Carnival really doesnt use it much anymore....they have better luck locking the unrulely passengers in their cabins. They can electronicly change your door lock at any time so your card will be useless, and they told us it works better for them to keep these passegers there. They bring them food and check on them often, but do not clean the cabin until the 'guest' has been removed. The guy leading our tour said the brig would now only be used for very extreme cases. We also saw the morgue, and were told it was equipped to store up to 3 'guest'.....but that it was very rare to have more than one at a time. The behind the fun tour was a little pricey, but very interesting....and we learned a lot.:)

Interesting, I never thought about what they would do, if all efforts at getting a passenger calmed down - failed. I would assume that for the safety of all passengers, they must have some type of restraint/holding area?

 

Being that all/most of their ships are registered in country's that dont have labor laws or many laws at all.....im sure that makes it easier to restrain people, even against their will if intoxicated - with little worry of a lawsuit.

 

I got back from my first cruise ever the first week in Oct. I have to admit that one of my concerns about Carnival being a "Party Boat" was a bunch of drunks and my kids having to be exposed to that. Turns out that I was wrong. If there were drunks, I didn't see them. Maybe its like trash on the ground at Disney World, it doesn't stay there long enough for people to notice.

 

While everyone will offer their 2cents (like me) im curious to read more and find out what really happens to unruly, drunk or dangerous people.

 

Has anyone had an experience or observed an event like this?

 

I agree...In 24 cruises I've never encountered a truly unruly person, or someone who was acting out from being drunk. Never. At night I hang out in the casino or the Piano Bar, and while people are clearly having fun...:D...I've never seen a fight or a nasty-over-the-top-out-of-control person.

 

Back in 2005 I wrote a review here after getting off the Glory out of Port Canaveral. Someone else also wrote a review & honest to goodness...you would think we were on 2 different ships! :eek:! She wrote about fights in the hallways & drunks (she was on Deck 2), and I wrote about what an exceptional cruise it was! (we were on Deck 9).

 

So I guess it can happen that people encounter unruliness...but I'm lucky that I've never witnessed it!

A friend of mine who sails RCCL...her young adult son threw a life preserver overboard. They put him in the brig for the night and then put him off the ship at the next port....and of course charged them for the preserver. Apparently those suckers are expensive. They were all on a large family cruise together and they are diamond level (or whatever top is on RCCL)...my friend and her husband met with and begged and pleaded with RCCL not to put him off...but they meant business. He wasn't drunk...but thought he was funny I guess.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

 

Actually I'd be very interested on the data that shows short (3,4,5) day cruises versus longer (7+) days when it comes to people either being confined or removed from a ship.

 

We have only been on 7 day cruises and only once was I aware of someone being thrown in the brig (excessive alcohol related issue)

While I am not a Carnival Cheerleader I have to admit that Carnival does have a bad rep of being a "party boat" just because they carter to a younger crowd.

I think it's funny the young adult got thrown off the ship! But that's just me I have a sick sense of humor when people do something stupid and then have to pay the price for being stupid.

I was walking to my cabin one night and a guy says, pssst (we were both in the hall getting into our cabins), I said, oh hi...he said, you wanna come in and do some cocaine??! I was like WHAT?! :eek: He was wired and weird...I said no and left...later that night he found me again and was even more weird and proceeded to tell me things I didn't want to hear..oh yuck, it was a bad night..We had also been to Jamaica that day so I was offered some other stuff too from another guy...and this was on RC not Carnival

Ive been on 28 Carnival cruises and have seen many many drunks on each and every cruise. I dont drink myself but later in the evening they seem to be everywhere, especially the casino. The 2 I remember most was first a woman who was so drunk she was playing craps and threw the dice (both of them directly into the eyes of the stickman. She was led away shortly thereafter. The second was a table mate who was found outside the MDR incoherent after arriving at dinner for 3 nights in a row completely plastered. But after cruising all the other major lines I see these incidents on all.
