Australians take more cruises per capita than any other nationality. This means that the cruise lines have lowered the price and tailored the product so that feral bogans now see cruising as something desirable.

It doesn’t really matter if they end brawling or assaulting people, the freaks are just nasty to be around, as they tend to be noisy and obnoxious.

That’s why I never sail on mass market cruise ships.

If you can afford to do that then good luck to you. I tend to move in different circles to that element so while I have heard of and/or seen of some incidents, I have not been involved in anyway and was able to enjoy my cruise as per normal.

You make a good point.

The family are apparently the victims here. They are going to their lawyer on Monday.

 

Now I admit it I'm no lawyer nor have I read my cruise contract in detail but I'm pretty sure carnival has access to a lawyer (or two) and they may have contacted their lawyers prior to removing the family from the cruise......

 

Other guests are being offered a good will offer by carnival.

I am certainly not surprised on tow counts, firstly that they would have a family lawyer (sounds like they keep them busy) and secondly, that they would go running off to the lawyer when they feel they have been maltreated.

It doesn’t sound like other fellow passengers will be on their side if it goes to court.

They don't have the drink packages on Carnival Australia.

 

 

 

This behaviour is not really only down to drink The drink would only ascerbate the original poor behaviour of the person concerned. The bogans will misbehave for whatever reason they want

 

We were on a carnival ship to Hawaii which wold continue to Alaska with mostly USA passengers. 2 nights out from Hawaii we were advised that a;ll beer that night was free as the USA people did not like Australian beer and they had lots. Wine was also free and there was loads of both No poor behaviour was seen nor was there any bad language or drunkeness in fact everyone was happy and laughing about the situation . Obviously well mannered or well brought up people to start with and of course there were some 3000 of us

In a statement today Carnival Cruise Line announced guests will be offered a 25 per cent Future Cruise Credit as “a goodwill gesture”.

Wow, a lot of expense for the passengers, very generous considering past offers for other things. Must have been many incidents affecting many passengers.

As for the actions of the security staff I'm sure that Carnival will undertake a full review of the incidents and implement measures to ensure that this doesn't happen again.

I expressed my concern about the behaviour of staff in an earlier post. Kicking people on the ground is not on.

 

In Victoria there has been a huge effort to train and register security staff and bouncers. Part of the reason is the the red mist or whatever has seen people severely injured, and even killed (see Crown Casino case).

 

To my mind, the staff shown to be kicking people should also be charged with assault by our Police.

25% future credit is no compensation for those who will not use Carnival again.

That is their choice of course, but I think for a 3 hour delay in Melbourne it is more than fair.

For the passengers who missed their flights, there is insurance and this compensation and I am sure that carnival would make sure no one who is not satisfied (out of pocket) with this offer is looked after.

I agree that once the person was restrained, laying the boot in was going too far. They need to be better than thugs.

Has anyone seen it confirmed that the evicted "family" had their transportation home covered by Carnival from Eden?

 

From what some reports have said - 9 were formally evicted from the ship while the others disembarked of their own accord.

 

I fail to see the logic in the Carnival putting itself out of pocket for the benefit of troublemakers by then paying for their transport home. Personally I think that should be automatically the responsibility of the evicted twits. (Would love to see that argument with their insurance company!!!).

I agree, seems absurd for Carnival to pay for a coach - Eden to Canberra, then flights for 24 from CBR to MEL. Should have made their own way. As for travel insurance, some probably had none.:rolleyes:

 

Not forgetting the police costs. The big police launch is based at Eden, but Operational Support Group Police would have driven down from Sydney or Wollongong, travelling expenses etc.

I know a family of 2 adults and 2 children. They received $900 credit which they are happy with. They don’t have a problem cruising Carnival again.
