Spurschick Posted July 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2017 You can't teach stupid. However this is beyond stupid, more like reckless endangerment. I would love to know the parents views on their behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted July 24, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Very dangerous to other passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoopy2110 Posted July 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If they hurt themselves or broke a bone I'm sure the parents would be the first to blame the cruise line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L454S Posted July 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Agree, don't blame the kids, this is what unsupervised kids can and will do. Heck, I probably would have done it. Parenting seems to be a tough thing to do these days. Nobody seems to be able or want to say "NO". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew2346 Posted July 24, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2017 As a parent of a boy that age I blame them fully. They KNOW their kid and they KNOW if they have the potential to do something stupid like this. They should not have had a room with no parents in it or be left alone at this time of night. My son has made some poor decisions despite my parenting. Sometimes they have no control and that is where the parent being there steps in.

Philly Steve Posted July 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I don't condone that behavior but a walkway/rail OVER a pool? No amount of signage will stop kids or drunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascol Posted July 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2017 And certainly by now, the 'parents' of this child must know the video is posted to Youtube. Why would they continue to allow it to even be there? Fools at both levels (child and parents). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigque Posted July 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I don't condone that behavior but a walkway/rail OVER a pool? No amount of signage will stop kids or drunks. I am not condoning this cause it is stupid as he!! but it is just like the adults who ignore the warning signs at maho beach and hang onto the fence behind the jet blast when the jets are taking off. Somebody should be supervising them! :confused: "Stupid is as stupid does" - Forest Gump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john watson Posted July 24, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 24, 2017 These young people are putting other cruisers health and safety at serious risk of injury. Signage clearly states diving is not permitted and doing so from a higher deck is inherently dangerous. You cannot say that they might not slip and land on another passenger emerging from below the balcony. If the crew can identify the culprits at the time they should be disembarked with their luggage at the next port. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazz Posted July 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Unfortunately, this is not new. I watch kids and adults do this on ships back in the 90s. One adult broke a leg and diverted the ship. "Can't fix stupid" has been around a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare thrifty99 Posted July 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2017 That is so dangerous to the kids and to other passengers. It looks like it was just posted yesterday so these kids are probably still on that ship. I sent an image of the YouTube video to Princess cruise lines media relations just now that includes the name of the kid on his YouTube channel. Hopefully they can find him and have him removed from the ship for doing something so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare thrifty99 Posted July 24, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I did just get an email back from Princess media relations and they are forwarding the email and info to the appropriate department. The kid's YouTube channel also has a video of his recent Alaska cruise posted a week ago so they are most likely no longer on the ship. Hopefully Princess can at least follow up with the family in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Princess can at least follow up with the family in some way. The only thing Princess can do at this point, assuming the family is already off the ship, is to place them on their banned customer list, which means they will be sailing on a non-Carnival Corp. line next time they cruise. Don't be surprised to see these kids next time you sail Royal or Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matj2000 Posted July 24, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Not a big deal. I have jumped from much higher. Just not on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascol Posted July 24, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Not a big deal. I have jumped from much higher. Just not on a ship. Right - until a swimmer in the pool that the jumper is unaware of swims into the idiot's path. Then the kid and the swimmer get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ski ww Posted July 24, 2017 #23 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I guess at that age everything is funny until somebody gets hurt or killed. You'd think some one who was in the pool would notify staff. You wonder what the parents would do if they found out about it. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted July 24, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Ah, the desire to be famous. The worst part of the internet is what it does to kids. The desire to be famous is more important than anything. Jacka$$ was the beginning along with Girls Gone bad videos, made it seem cool to be stupid and senseless. Then the not understanding the long term consequences of this need to be famous is bewildering to me. Even though I understand it perfectly.
