kiddo76 Posted December 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Current on HOS and having a great time. My DH and I are traveling with his parents (separate stateroom Thank you Baby Jesus) and our patience is running thin. My ILs take 2-3 cruises a year and should know better, but they are "Those People". 1. FIL tried to get through TSA with a full bottle of suncreen and was pissed 2. FIL got called to the Naughty Room because he had a pocket knife in his luggage. They let him keep it, but he was still pissed. 3. MIL did NOT get called to the Naughty Room for the extension cord in her bags. She was happy, but said she would be pissed if they had called her down. 4. DH has the Deluxe Beverage Package and I have the Refreshment package. ILs don't have any packages, but get free drinks in the Casino. MIL wanted DH to get his father a beer on our package. Said she and her SIL shared 1 package last cruise no problem. We told them no. They were pissed. 5. MY FIL, who has already had some skin cancer removed, refused to use my SPF 50 lotion because "they say anything above 30 is just a marketing scheme". Thanks for listening, just need to vent to someone! 20 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenfrostine22 Posted December 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Took my mother-in-law on a seven day star suite cruise in March. I feel your pain. No matter the circumstance she always had an issue. Considering the cruise was FREE for her she should have done a happy dance every minute of every day! I hope she appreciated it in the end because it was her last cruise with us! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollycat Posted December 19, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I’m going to be in the same position in January. Actually dreading it a bit. Travelling with my in-laws and spoiled brother in law and his girlfriend. My husband and I booked our own excursions on our own to ensure a break. I got a good laugh though, seems eerily familiar. Lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyCruiser Posted December 19, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Tell your ILs that they're gonna lose a lot of $$$ for those "free" drinks in the casino. Then they'll really be pissed... 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said, "There is many other Family Members that would want go on Cruise with me, but few I'd actually take" 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They booked it for us last year to come along instead of exchanging Christmas presents. Except we are paying 100% our own way in a Balcony Room. Our Christmas budget for them is usually $200. I think we lost out on this deal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyager70 Posted December 19, 2019 #16 Share Posted December 19, 2019 OP I can also feel for you. We did a cruise years ago with another couple we thought we knew well. It was their first cruise and their behavior was embarrassing. By about the third day we were basically trying to hide from them but they somehow always found us. We made the most of it but agreed - never again. Good luck and hope you can enjoy the rest of the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
