At the end of the Cordon Bleu Course final dinner that he attended with his wife, out of the blue, he decked a friend of ours unprovoked and broke his glasses. It was the final night of the cruise and our friend and the offender, were banned to their cabins. Why was your friend banned? Did they have a verbal altercation that turned into fisticuffs?

No. It was an unprovoked attack. He was not banned. It was the last night of the cruise and they requested he stay in his cabin for his own safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't seem to make sense if your friend was cold-cocked by the aggressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to wait for all the facts. There were facts posted by the videographer in the original Reddit posting, but they've since been deleted.

I remember him coming back to the Observation Lounge and telling us the tale. The perp himself was in the highest-level cabin, and had a very entitled attitude, and seemed to be the abusive type to start with--I believe he was bullying his wife, for instance. He was confined to his cabin that night, which was packing night. The next morning awaiting disembarkation, he was walking around free again. Did not reflect well on Regent at the time, I thought.

Yes, he told us and then went to his stateroom. So glad it was the last day of an amazing cruise. The aggressor was I think banned from sailing on Regent too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2SailingNomads Posted July 2, 2023 #33 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in NY - I had my pick of multiple bars if I wanted a fight to break out, or more importantly tried to keep myself safe when just going somewhere. Now as someone who worked their way up in life and can afford Regent, and other high end cruises the last thing I want is some person deciding to start a fight on the pool deck or anywhere else. I hope Regent and all other cruise lines ban people who engage in physical altercations from ever sailing with them again. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothko1 Posted July 2, 2023 #36 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Yes, but the comment was directed to Regent and all other cruise lines. What they ought to do is have the equivalent of a Las Vegas Black Book for all the cruise lines. You get banned on Regent, your name goes into the Black Book, and you can't book with anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOARMY Posted July 2, 2023 #37 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Rothko1: To broaden the range: Over 10 years ago, probably about 15--while aboard a Seabourn ship, heard a morning announcement into all Suites from the Captain advising anyone having information concerning "an incident" which occurred in The Casino the previous night to report what was witnessed to a ship's Officer. We were NOT in the Casino. Two days later--announcement from the Captain, again to all Suites, that the individuals involved in the incident had been, since the "incident", restricted to their Suites. This was one day before end of that segment. Of course, the unofficial rumor mill had run rampant in the interim. Apparently two guys traveling together had gotten into an argument with a third guy. A fight broke out. One fellow sustained an eye injury; another guy an arm injury. The Captain added that, in accordance with protocol, these individuals would not be allowed to book another cruise on any Seabourn ship. BtW: We were on the same flight back to the USA following debarkation with two guys--traveling together a few rows up. Recalled seeing them previously during the cruise. One sported a big patch covering half his face; his buddy had a medical bandage wrap covering a hand and wrist. I doubt they sustained such from hitting each other. How about applying the equivalent of a TSA "Do not Fly" List to such miscreants? GOARMY! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No switching from Seabourn to Regent to Silversea to Crystal, etc. By the way, love your name. When and where did you serve? I was a JAG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
