I wrote all over my review that Carnival needed to get a handle on this yesterday, but apparently not. We'll see what happens on my next Carnival cruise. We board Venezia for B2B in a week - sure hoping to see that some things have changed 🤞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You D/Ps like the open bar. 😉 And not on the night before debarking! On our B2B we did on the first week and skipped the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted September 9, 2023 #1204 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I would feel like recording their attitudes with my phone. Maybe someone would acknowledge it, perpetrators or security. Sorry this occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can do now is disrupt young peoples live and press charges. That’s nothing I want to do. But I’m heartbroken this happened. It was the incompetence of their parents. I would press charges to the fullest extent so those little brats learned a lesson. If their family gets banned from Carnival for life so be it. Saw on YouTube a woman stole a puppy from one of the Ididarod training facilities in Alaska. She was able to keep it quiet on the bus but obviously got stopped going back through security getting onto the ship. Bottom line, $10,000 fine, lifetime ban on all cruise lines as well as lifetime ban on visiting Alaska ever again. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I won’t press charges but you are living your best life and your kid is assaulting people. Also weird, I was about to take a CC photo of a ridiculous stairway and BOOM. I kind of wish you had taken a photo of the kids. Assaultive behavior needs to be reported and punished. Pressing charges would force the parents and Carnival to be accountable. Getting off free just emboldens. Although, sadly, being seen by the culprits taking a photo maybe could have put you more at risk. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no fights, but there were some punks who flat out lied to security, and a parent or two who likewise lied. And some who claimed they could get away with anything by yelling racist. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Posted September 9, 2023 #1211 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Cruise ships I've been on in the last 3-5 years are closing up earlier each cruise I go on. I would stumble home at 3-4 in the morning in the old days after a packed nightclub. These days the ships don't have a dedicated nightclub and it seems the ship closes down about midnight. I blame the Family Cruise initiative. I wish they'd go to Disney World like in the good old days. We don't need Six Flags on the Lido Deck either Edited September 9, 2023 by Stallion 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just verbal and physically “abuse” by a roving gang of teens. Security all ready knew it was an issue. They were right there. If MY kids EVER said what was said… they wouldn’t sit down, wouldn’t speak, never cruise again. I was trying to go up the stairs and they are sitting 5 deep and I ask to get by, and I’m the bad guy? As one CHILD said “I will not be disrespected there are other staircases”. Indeed. There are other cruise lines. That was the single handed most disgusting thing I’ve ever witnessed on a ship and it was children. Take that for what you will. Oh and I’m racist for saying “sir please don’t use the f word” to a 15 year old. That kind of thing is why we are shifting to NCL, though we will still take Carnival Journey cruises as we have always had civilized fellow passengers on those. All our cruises after a December Journey cruise are NCL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the boys and their families can be banned from Carnival. Different ships may be different, but when my wife was assaulted on the Glory security basically said the only cameras are in the casino. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted September 9, 2023 #1214 Share Posted September 9, 2023 @MeganGC1983 I know you'll finish strong and end this cruise on a high note, even if half the ship is closed, lol!! Been a fun week, already looking forward to the next one. Is that ship ready for The Tribe? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouChamp Posted September 9, 2023 #1215 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Aloha. Once again thank you for your reports, pictures and fun! On a far more serious level, unfortunately the world is slowly drifting into some level of anarchy. Having been blessed to cruise for decades and traveling by air/sea/lad I see this everywhere. My wife will not sail Carnival anymore and occasionally I would take short cruises with them with just my brother in law. No longer. As for leaving from NYC, only the QM2. As I get older I am trying to minimize my exposure to nonsense but that is becoming more and more difficult. Especially if you spend time between NY and Hawaii you run into knuckleheads everywhere. Even in the finest restaurants and onboard the finest ships. I am cynical I hate to say but I feel been there done that. Enough of my soapbox. I love your reports and look forward to future posts and of course the food pictures! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MeganGC1983 Posted September 9, 2023 Author #1225 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Honestly, this is the first cruise I couldn’t wait to get off of. DH just said “I forgot how ridiculous it is to get off the ship on Carnival”. It’s literally walking and following directions. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
