halos Posted November 4, 2013 #101 Share Posted November 4, 2013 As I mentioned, she was missing for an hour. They had an APB out for her, had staff searching all over the ship for her, etc. They almost called the coast guard and stopped the ship because they couldn't find her. :confused::confused::confused: That still doesn't make sense.... Someone panicked and had Carnival call that APB out on her...she was just sleeping it off and had done nothing wrong except sleep through the APB. This still seems severe to me.

FSUNole Posted November 4, 2013 #102 Share Posted November 4, 2013 If I were the father I would say, "dang darlin', sucks for you but we're going on this cruise. Would you mind watering our plants while we're gone?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUNole Posted November 4, 2013 #103 Share Posted November 4, 2013 BTW, not for a second do I believe her only "crime" was underage drinking. That just would not make sense from the widespread underage drinking I've seen on cruises... Carnival included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

near the beach Posted November 5, 2013 #108 Share Posted November 5, 2013 First thing to do is call Carnival and ask about the situation. I have seen letters issued by the captain of a ship to passengers informing them that they will not be permitted to sail onboard any Carnival Cruise lines vessel in the future. This decision was based on their actions on the cruise. Any attempt to book a future cruise will result in cancellation and a possible loss of deposit monies. It is not uncommon for passengers who break rules to be removed from the ship and left at a port of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theriac Posted November 5, 2013 #109 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I would call and talk to someone. When I was 20 I got a lifetime ban from Disney World for underage drinking and 5 years later when my Girlfriend wanted to go and I had to either explain the situation(which wouldn't be fun) or call up Disney to see if I was really banned for life and/or if that could be lifted. I was told that I'm fine to come back, and to be on my best behavior because it was my last chance. Big companies just can't take the chance with kids drinking underage with all the liability issues.

Out to sea! Posted November 9, 2013 #115 Share Posted November 9, 2013 One ID. Two biometrics. Bio-metrics are done after the ticket purchase. I believe the bio-metrics are just to assign you to the card you're using so that no one else can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted November 9, 2013 #116 Share Posted November 9, 2013 It would be my guess that bans from cruise lines are more for refusing to follow crew instructions which posed s danger to staff, the ship and other guests. Choose the behavior, choose the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie cruises Posted November 9, 2013 #117 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Boy - haven't heard of this. I'm surprised the dad was never told. They might be able to explain that this time it will be family. It it gets cancelled after booking you might want to talk to John Heald. the dad was never told because the girl was over 18 and a legal adult. the 21 thing is for drinking but even a 20 year old underage drinker is still a legal adult and the parents cannot be told unless she OK's it. college kids have to ok it for the school to speak with the parents about them. most kids ok this because they are too busy with schoolwork to be discussing financial aid issues etc. they let the parents do it. and before anyone says the college kid should handle these financial aid things..trust me it is better for the parent to do this as the parent has much more financial saavy than an 18yo.

CruiseHealing Posted November 9, 2013 #118 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Does Disney World check IDs when guests buy tickets? How would they know it was you? :confused: I can answer that question because I do a lot of work as a vendor with Disney World. One way is a No Trespassing Citation issued by the Orange County Sheriff Department to the violator. The information is usually very complete because the police are involved, but it is always subject to the violators willingness to comply (if not a night in jail). Disney and the Sheriff Department work very closely together, so if you entered Disney and had a No Trespass Citation, you would at least be escorted off property, or heading for a night at Orange County's not so nice (non-Disney) facility. In today's Disney it is by finger print. I can not go into too much detail, but finger prints are used for tickets, annual passholders (I'm one) and hotel guests. With the new magic+ bands, it is a new world at Disney. I have a friend that contacted me who was banned (6 years ago) from DW and asked what I thought, because his family wanted to go DW. His citation did not include a finger print, so I told him he is a taking risk, but he should never use his name or show someone his ID. But on cruises you don't have that luxury. Not only do you show your ID at check in, but a passport is typically used because they already have it when you complete your pre-cruise documents. So, there is no way to hide you ID information.

sea_u_onboard Posted November 12, 2013 Author #122 Share Posted November 12, 2013 well????? do we know what's up? UPDATE: He (the father) was on vacation (something different) and wasn't back to work until today. I asked him if he booked the cruise and he said he was so busy trying to get everything done before he left on vacation that he didn't get a chance to. We didn't get to talk long so I'm not sure if he's still planning to book. I hope to talk to him more tomorrow. Maybe he was able to "extract" more info from his daughter. If it were me, I would leave her butt home also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been asked my name or asked for Identification whenever I have walked up to the tix sales window at wdw. Unless you book your room and tix and stay at a wdw hotel they have no clue who you are when buying your tix.

Do they do the fingerprinting on the one day paper tix as well? I just did a cruise excursion on Ncl to wdw and got my paper tix thru the ship. When we got to wdw the person had to scan my paper tix as we couldn't use it the turnstile. I don't remember if my name was on the paper tix obtained thru the excursion but I recall the guide on the bus handing us some sort of entrance pass to wdw Of course I am not banned from wdw but am wondering how they stop someone from buying one day tix. If I go up to the window at wdw can't I buy 3 one day tix for my family of 3? Would they all need to be right next to me and show identification?
