Is there any penalty for pier runners?

It is sad when this happens for the people involved even if it is their own fault but it is certainly entertaining for the witnesses.

[MicCanberra]

I hope to never be a pier runner and if I do happen to be one, I hope I am never left behind.

I’ll never be a pier runner, struggle to Evan walk now days, let alone run.

It is a term that covers more than physically running but are running late

On a good day I could manage a pier waddle, that’d give the watchers something to laugh at.

I wouldn't laugh, but I may shout encouragement.

And right on cue, here is that poster.

 

And, this time he has even copied another person's post and doctored it by changing the word "will" to "MAY" to support his argument. Isn't it unethical to quote a comment by another person and change the words to make it mean something they did not actually say? 🙄

 

I think it was clear that the poster changed the original post.  The changed word was in a different color and FTFY means "Fixed That For You" indicating that they changed a post.

 

Regardless of what was said, I don't think there was a netiquette breach in how it was stated.

I would be a pier hobbler/gasper!

That doesn’t keep me from booking private excursions, though. 

[MicCanberra]

Nothing wrong with Private excursions if they are a reputable company, just have a contingency plan which you should have with any port excursion whether the ship's, a private or a do it yourself outing.

Interesting. Watching that video (albeit, not as zoomed in as I'd like), it almost appears as if the husband is holding a passport or passports in his hand. Could it be that the port agent already had handed them off as they arrived (too late)?

[MicCanberra]

We normally carry our passports when ashore for excursions, just in case.

Most likely, since the ship was pulling away, the passports, if they were still onboard the ship, would have been removed to the port agent by then.

Contrary to poster's opinion from another forum.😛
