Rare JamesEM Posted August 16, 2018 #451 Share Posted August 16, 2018 On my last cruise there was a lady at the next table (MDR) with a little foo foo dog that she was feeding off her plate with a fork, that was a little to much for me. I am pleased that RCL has taken action to curb this type of ambient behavior in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have around another year of this emotional support dog crap (pun intended) as people who booked before 30 July of this year can still bring little foo foo.

Well, booked and had an ESA noted on their booking prior to July 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asalligo Posted August 16, 2018 #456 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Why do people have such issues with dogs? If I saw someone feeding a dog at the table it would not bother me in the least. I would just say, oh look a dog, that's cool. There is almost nothing being around a dog can cause you illness wise and I have seen kids doing things much more likely to infect you with something on every ship I have been on than any dog. Are people just afraid of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people just afraid of them? Have you seen how many people get worked up by the mere thought of a man eating in the dining room with his bare knees all exposed, or not wearing a tie on selected nights? Yes, they're petrified.

johnjen Posted August 16, 2018 #458 Share Posted August 16, 2018 IF and I do mean IF this actually happened, and the guest was AWARE that it happened, I would have simply said "Excuse me, do you need help cleaning this up?" If that did not get their attention, I would have simply acted like an adult, asked guest services for a paper towel, and helped dispose of it, because I would not want anyone to accidentally step in it, and spread it around. Just because some seem to find it hard to adult, (person not picking up after their dog) does not mean it has to rub off on me. Not me! I'd walk up to the owner and say "you need to pick this ---- up, JERK!!!!!" And I really don't care if it's an emo or a service dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted August 17, 2018 #459 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think if someone's ESA has an accident (ie defecates) on board, they and the dog should be put off the ship at the next port and have to fly themselves and Little Fluffy home at their own expense. RCI lawyers can add this to the Cruise Contract. People who booked before July 30, 2018 can still bring their Emotional Support Animal onboard. So there will still be issues.

SherriZ366 Posted August 17, 2018 #461 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Agree -- but I also like RCI cracking down with the possibility of kicking the owner and dog off the ship at the next port for deification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that would be noticeable, but too soon anyway. Give it a year: Reservations of travelers with ESAs noted on bookings prior to July 30 would be allowed to sail, the report said.

Smiley525 Posted August 27, 2018 #468 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Just off Grandeur-there we’re two ‘service’ dogs on board. One seemed to be a legit hearing dog for a hearing impaired woman that was traveling with her family. Another one was a tiny dog in a stroller the whole time-not sure it’s purpose?

People will think twice about bringing Fluffy with them. I have NEVER see foo foo dogs onboard to begin with. I must be on the wrong cruises. I have always seen esa on my cruises except for my TP in April '17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That person needs a new brain if they can't be away from Fluffy since that was not a service dog. Also, they probably don't want to pay for pet care when their on vacation.
