10 Ways To Get Kicked Off A Cruise Ship

- Hi Cruisers, It's time to get serious on CruiseTipsTV. Today we are going to look at 10 ways to get kicked off a cruise ship. But first, be sure to visit our sponsor cruiseline.com? It's a great place to get to know your ship before you cruise.
Okay, so we're going to give the scoop on what exactly will get you kicked off a cruise ship, and hopefully help you avoid them. Some of these things may be pretty obvious, but you'd be surprised how many new cruisers don't consider these things you shouldn't do on a cruise. You may know that fighting will get you kicked off a cruise ship, but some may think only the person starting the fight will get kicked off. This is rarely the case. A few new cruisers may get caught up in feeling of freedom that comes with cruising. With all the fun things to do on a cruise, it's can be easy to forgot about what not to do on a cruise. Getting kicked off a cruise ship will definitely ruin your cruise, so make sure it doesn't happen to you. Remember there a few that might be a little surprising.

On our very first cruise (to Alaska) two couples apparently skipped the muster drill. The next day at sea, the four of them were sitting on benches on the promenade deck, each holding a sign that said "I skipped the muster drill". They were even instructed to verbally inform everyone walking by that "I missed the drill yesterday". Humiliating! And cold! I have no idea how long they had to stay there, I only saw them once. But... stupid!
The captain has ultimate authority.
I think you should get some kind of a hall pass for avoiding the musters if you've been on a certain amount of cruises. I've been on 14 cruises and I don't even pay attention during the muster any more.
Thanks for the tips your smile and song choice is infectious . Love it
Excellent video , presentation and content! Kudos to you and keep up the good work. Extremely informative and very helpful video . Thank you.
Flicking cigarette over the side: people don't realize the cig can come back aboard! I have seen it happen. Depending on how high up and how forward you are on the ship, the aero effects of the ship's forward motion can bring a lightweight item like that right back aboard, further aft and lower down typically.
As always, your video is informative and makes people think. Thank you.
Thanks Sheri!
You are correct about missing the muster drill. We had ours while still docked at the home port, and one cabin did not show up. We were delayed for about 40 minutes, and it was announced to all that it was because the couple that had refused to go to the gather point were being escorted off of the ship. I met the captain in a line of officers at a social event, and congratulated him.
Wow, they ruined their own vacay because they didn't want to stand in place for a few minutes??
Meela234 m
Why did they refuse? Seriously you just go to a spot and sit/stand there and listen to the safety information. That is so stupid
Been watching your videos a lot, I go on my first cruise with my parents and my twin brother in December.. this year :) !
*DO NOT SKIP THE MUSTER DRILL*
hum, i guess I have to find my old home training .My mother always says "act like you have sense,girl"..never knew....thanks for sharing
+GeeDub Walker hee hee! Hope you got to join the live stream :-)
20 years ago I skipped the munster drill. I laid in my bed and heard a knock at the door and didn't answer.
the next day I got a very stern letter from the officers making me and others to attend a makeup drill later in the week. needless to say we got a scolding from them.
Pam Thomas oh yeah they definitely don't play about mustard or the safety briefing. they'll get you every time about that.
MissDivaDivine904 *muster
Thanks, tricky fingers don't type well.....lol
Ah yes...the MUNSTER drill. That is where you come dressed as your favorite character in the TV show. I KNOW what you meant but it is still funny. I mistype words frequently. I can spell. I just can't type that well.
Pam Thomas Yeah and when the ship hits the iceberg, the piano player is in charge, after the crew jumps ship...drills are fine, until shit hits fan.
You are really informative and I like listening to you :)
Thank you 🙏🏻
Well done hun
I actually missed the muster station thingy lol
Accidentally though, however I didn't get kicked off. Instead, we quickly informed the guest services, and they actually played the video in our room
+MrsGrumpySuits Inc. that's great! They must have known it was an accident :-)
CruiseTipsTV they did! We informed them :)
How did you not notice the alarm? Or them knocking on your door?
Very informative and cute
Thanks for the video. Luckily I don't have to worry about it though. Would not do any of them. Too relaxed to fight anybody.
jumping off a cruise ship while it's in Port just for simple diving can also get you put off as well.
Yes! So funny! But not funny!
i now i was stupid once
HI Sheri, we got back to NYC yesterday after our cruise on the NCL Gem, great cruise and weather. First time out of NY, amazing views for sail away! Missed your videos, binge watching now. Great list, you had a few often missed on similar lists I've seen and did a great job explaining. You miss the muster on NCL, you are required to attend a make up early the next morning. Skip that... My fiancee loves muster??? To her it is kind of the beginning of the vacation. Regarding lattitudes, she mad Platinum on this cruise and I was still two points short though we are scheduled on another in August. Not sure why but they just went ahead and gave it to me early. It appears you really only need one person in the stateroom to get the benefits so that may be why.
+Boat Lover bless her heart, she loves muster!
Great tips, and very entertaining! The Captain is The Grand Puba!
My aunt had my two baby cousins with her and finally got them to sleep,this was not her first cruise and did not want to wake them up,they told the cabin Stewart and they said that my uncle just had to go
Always fun and informative! Can't believe you get kicked off for flicking a cigarette, glad I don't smoke! Nothing wrong with your singing!
Hee hee, thanks Ann!
Ann Bain the reason you can be put off the ship for flicking a cigarette is it might go back to the other cabins behind your cabin and catch the ship on fire that way and yes it has happened.
Unfortunately it's the number one cause of fires on ships. They rarely make it to the sea and are instead swept onto lower decks or into balconies..
A guy was abusing his wife on my cruise. The whole family got marched off. I think we all wanted to push him overboard and let the others be.
That sounds very sad ;-(
it was. on a side note, I hope you don't mind but I sent you a link to some of my cruise photos so you can get an example of what people wear on formal night so they don't worry too much.
Lord Jock you are probably right. They should have let her stay. If she wanted to.
Why not just kick the guy off? That actually makes no ****ing sense.
It's such an inconceivable concept. Being on a cruise=vacation, hence, relax and mellow out. There's just no reason at all to be rude to anyone there. Anyone getting annoyed on a cruise should be asking themselves, why are they on a cruise in the first place. It's so simple to get along with people on a cruise. Just be polite and if that's too hard, then simply keep to yourself and others will leave you alone. Even the gabby goose will get the hint and look for a more receptive sounding board.
Thanks for sharing.
So true Bruce!
Sometimes you don't get busted until the ship docks at home. I saw a guy in front of me get nabbed for drugs he bought in Bermuda. They pulled him just before clearing the final security gate. Just a few steps more and he would of been scot free!
Do all ten. Live it up!
Honestly why would someone not go to the muster drill? As if lying under your bed seems like a better way to pass the time 😅 Thanks for another helpful and fun video 😊
With passenger card scanning at muster drills this is now a moot point. On our recent Carnival cruise, passengers who didn't attend the main drill had to do a make-up drill in the main theater at a later time.
I don’t know ask my grown kids and their friends who refused to go and we all had to wait until they were dragged out!! Sooooooooo upsetting!!!
there is tremendous amount of things to do in cruise ship then sleep
My teenage son has autism and very little patience (unless its something he likes to do). Getting him to sit through a muster drill is a job in itself.
Good tips.....What about trying to sneak a bear on board from Alaska!! : )
LOL! Sounds like a pretty grizzly idea to me.
This made me think of Michael Scott while on the booze cruise :-)
Haha! Gotta love Michael scott!
Without rules we have chaos!
Sheri, Thank you for those tips, I'm guilty along with others in my party of not doing the Mustar Drill, but have not been caught, so next time I will behave.
Where do you hide?
We didn"t our steward nor butler never checked our state room, maybe because we were travelling with vulnerable adults,
I just went on my first cruise and I couldn't believe it but two people I had been talking to got kicked off the ship for fighting! They got kicked off in Nassau to be exact.
Hi, I have watched several of your videos, including your recent Alaska Q &A video. I left you some comments and you responded. Thank you. In one of your videos, you mentioned that one of your subscribers had shared with you information about hand sanitizing wipes that are particularly effective in protecting against norovirus, due to her being in the medical field. Would you please share with me, where I can find this information?
I have also watched your norovirus video.
No worries Tim, here you go! Thanks so much for watching!

Another time, I was on a cruise in Hawaii, late one night my buddy chucks a CHAIR off the boat. Was still there at the end of the trip but got a good telling off
They also at muster drills ask what cabin everybody is in and check them off with the amount of people in that cabin also
I have a friend who use to work on a cruise line and got into a fight with his roommate. He called it "floating prison". They just held them there until they cooled down. I think it happens more than we realize and even with the staff.
YYYYIIIIKES!
she should vlogs about airlines too!
Hi , number1 is no violence , no fighting etc . Well have a look into a recent incident in Australia , where a family of 23 assaulted people onboard a cruise ship for up to 3 days before anything was done. The captain was heard to say , what do you want me to do about them , throw them overboard....Took 3 days of assaults on total strangers for anything to be done.
Hi Sheri. Just a FYI- I've never seen a fight on board but if you'd like to see one there are videos of them all over TH-cam. For some reason most of them seem to happen on Carnival (I can't see a pair of old timers duking it out on Cunard for some reason). I know about the cigarette no-no and other things being tossed over the side but about once a year on the news you'll see a story about someone who threw their spouse over the side. That might get you into the naughty room along with the smoker.
Way to get kicked off #11- be the pier runner who doesn't quite make it back in time :-)
+Toni O'hara ah yes, pier runners!!
Correct these big boats seldom or never wait on too late comers.
Thanks for the tips. Yes...these are all logical, but I know some humans out there need to be told simple things. "It's cold outside. Wear a jacket." :) Nice singing btw.
Im on the carnival sensation to amber cove n grand Turks. so im trying to plan for a 11 and 13 yr old
LOL Yacht Rock Love it! LOL! BTW Taking my beautiful wife on the Carnival Valor for Her Birthday Monday! Trying to save a bit of cash..But was wondering if you know of like an inexpensive way to like sight see in Progresso or Cozumel? Would a taxi be safe to do or something like that?
Sure! how inexpensive are we talking here? I'll try to address this on today's vlog.
CruiseTipsTV Thanks for your reply. ..I really enjoy your vlogs. As far as expense $50-$75 for the both of us. Not trying to be cheap but on a very limited budget but I wanted my wife to enjoy this Birthday/Cruise and to take back some memories without breaking the bank. .Any suggestions would be great.
Oh my some of these seem so obvious, but I guess some people will try anything
Do you guys not post on tuesdays anymore? Been looking forward to those notifications lately and haven't seen any Lol
+Courtney Michelle on weeks when we do a Saturday livestream that day is our weekly vlog day. We generally do that every other week.
Oh well, I'm going on a Trek Cruise on the Norwegian Jade, and does that mean I can't get dressed up as Capt. Kirk? Oh well, I'll have to settle as Ens. Expendable the poor hapless redshirt.
THC, never been a problem on 20+ cruises. Vapes are seen as normal. Everything in moderation
Many years ago I was on a cruise ship that sank about 6 months after my cruise. Ever since then I take muster drills VERY SERIOUSLY. Check it out...the Sun Vista.
Eeeek!
The only things I took was All the Royal Caribbean drinking Glasses I paid for. Left with suitcase full of glasses.
I just watched another video about a gentleman. who was in a bar onboard a cruise and was highly intoxicated and was discussing how much money everyone had spent onboard asking everyone how much they had spent. then as a joke, in jest he said "I've spent so much onboard that I should jump overboard so not to pay the bill" of course he was only being silly, but the crew overheard him and within two minutes two other crew and security were by his side and escorted him to an interior cabin (him and his family were staying in a balcony cabin) and a security guard stood outside of the cabin door all the rest of the day and the entire evening. and the following morning when they reached port he was escorted off of the ship and kicked off. I didn't stop to think how serious something like this would be taken. I totally understand though and it's great that it was taken seriously. and I'm really glad I have watched that video, as saying something similar just in jest, I could picture myself saying. but not now. now I know to watch what I say as it could be taken the complete wrong way.
We heard from other passengers fighting on the sun princess in laundromat they got kicked off the cruise
On my ship you used to get three days bread and water for fighting
I just went on Carnival Elation and there was someone who was smoking weed, which stunk up the whole floor, and got caught by the security. I loved the Cruise though nonetheless.
With number 7, the only way I was aloud to avoid the security screening was because I can’t go through the medical detectors because of medical supplies
How long is the muster drill?
Hi my fiance and I are getting married next month and doing a Princess Alaska glacier cruise as our honeymoon. This is our first cruise and I feel super prepared thanks to your channel. We are a little confused about gratuity. We are used to tiping people as they provide helpful services. Is it worth it to do automatic gratuity or should we just have some small bills with us?
Hey ashley! How exciting! I will answer this on today's 5:30pm livestream. if you miss it, catch the replay here on our channel.
Ashley Dunn they bill you on the end of cruises. Mostly All the drinks you were charged they add the tips on there. You can also add additional tips to like your waiters/waitress and Room services. But you don't have to.
If you bought the Alcoholic Drink packages, I think all your tips are included in there so no charged.
That was Royal Caribbean, I can't say much about the other Cruise Lines of how they do their tipping.
So I'm assuming they have ashtrays?
Last time i was on a cruise I was upset because the drapes didn't match the carpet in my stateroom.
4:49 i was on a cruise and i was on the 8th deck balcony and i spat on the floor below me so does it count?
I Go On A Cruise Every January
I nearly came to blows with a fellow passanger on a P&O ship once. There were only 6 washing machines and 6 dryers for passenger use on the whole ship (over 2 decks) and this idiot thought that because his clothes were in the washing machine, that automatically meant that a dryer had to lay vacant waiting for his load to finish. I used the dryer and he started verbally abusing me. Lucky I'm not a violent person, and after a few harsh exchanges of obscenities, the situation abated.
So a family of 24 gets kicked off a Carnival cruise which is great, but did anyone take a close look at the behavior of the security staff? One look at their behavior would be enough to keep me from ever cruising with Carnival ever! It was hard to distinguish between the two groups. Oh, wait a minute, one group was wearing “security” labeled shirts!
Do they sell every thing on the ship in case people want to buy it example towels soap etc small items
Alfred Collins,
Some ships do and some don't.
Once me and my sister, like teens do, we're running around the ship with friends at night and we had just come out the buffet and had a few bread rolls in our hands.... let's just say it was a windy night and one of the bread rolls got whipped out of my hands and flew far into the sky and into the darkness behind us... luckily I wasn't kicked off 😂
+*^Kimi_Da_Kitty^* ahah! The bread is thankfully fish-friendly.
hey can u touch on holiday cruising. n cruising first time with kids. tweens n teens. how to have fun together n apart ...cabin set up for 4 or more.
Deidre, sure! I'll cover this on today's livestream vlog and we'll ask others for suggestions too.
thanks so much!! we will be leaving GA in Dec heading to FL...Sooo cold to warm thn on to hot. my kids will b 11 n 13 at travel time. We've cruised but not thm.
What if you are actually sick or have bad bathroom troubles while the muster drill is on?
Nozzel829
I actually have been sick for muster before and they still made me go. It was on Holland America (you have to go out on deck on Holland and line up in rows) and the did allow me to just sit inside and not stand out on deck. Same for my mom who I cruised with several years ago about 2 months after she had a hip replacement. Just talk to the crew members at muster and they will (likely) allow you to sit down inside. You can still hear instructions and announcements. Princess is great for muster drills because the muster drills are inside and you are sitting anyways. I wish Holland America was the same. I can not remember my experiences on Carnival, Celebrity, NCL or RCL. Muster is SO important regardless of how often a person cruises.
Instead of trying to find a way how not to go try find a way to go.
Lol only thing I would steal are the complementary soaps from my stateroom... Lol I wish I was kidding but this is what I do at hotels too... They're perfect travel size! I can't help it and I have a problem. Lol
it's a sin to steal
Nikunj Majithia - it's definitely not stealing. They are complimentary!
You don’t have to consider that stealing at all! They are complimentary for your use, whether at the moment or bringing them home.
Nikunj Majithia good thing it’s not stealing then.
Is the drinking age on a ship 18 or 21?
To hell with cruising, JUST SING TO ME BABY, JUST SING !!
;;-)
So, I just want to ask,, how do they kick you off? I'm just curious cuz ur in the middle of the ocean.
I read somewhere that people will be confined to their stateroom until the ship reaches land and then they are escorted by security...
I would never throw anything over board it's bad for the fish
Well at least I can still wearing my tuxedo t-shirt!
Bahaha! Yes, I think you can!
I wanna be formal, but I'm here to Party!
Check out the cutest and youngest tour guide taking you on the cruise trip journey :
th-cam.com/video/-0x7OETNMKE/w-d-xo.html
I once saw a group of kids get in trouble for throwing paper airplanes off the back
Robbie Dupree stole the melody from Michael Mcdonald's "What a fool believes".. lol ;)
+Tony Capil I never knew that!
How about sleeping with a member of the staff? Will that get you kicked off?
Probably not, but they will lose their job.
I've never been on a cruise before, what's a muster drill?
It's a safety drill where the crew explains how your life preserver works, how to get to your designated life boat, and what the various alarm signals mean.
Thanks! You're one step ahead of me!
thanks for letting me know. I've been wanting to go on a cruise for a while. it's mostly just an issue of time and money.
Lol you must be a cruise ship celebrity when you’re on board 😂 you have to recognized so much by other passengers every time you cruise
Here and there ❤️❤️
Im 18. My mom is okay with me drinking, so would she be able to give me alcohol? we go on carnival breeze in a few days. :)
The official answer is no, but I suppose that's between you and your Mom. The cruise line won't condone it.
Most ships allow beer and wine but no liquor. Parents have to sign a waiver when you board to allow beer and wine. Norwegian allowed us to do that with our kids
@Winnie In my state and the surrounding states they would go to prison.
Half on the list will likely get you kicked off, the rest you'll get a warning. Cruise lines are not in the habit of kicking people off who hide in the showers instead of going to the muster drill, they will just tell you to get to your muster station.
Is there a jail on board?
Well that's the closest thing i have ever done to get chucked off a cruise ship, we missed the muster drill, but not on purpose, it was my first cruise, we were in a cafe waiting for it to happen, 2 hours later the ship was moving, oops!! we mist the muster drill, LOL!! Turns out the PA in the Cafe were not working!!! But it was a great cruise, i am going on another one at the end of August this year, sooooo excited!!!!!!
My 22nd cruise on Carnival, I carry the VIFP status. :)
There should be 11 ways to get kicked off a cruise ship, and in my case A SURGE STRIP, Yea, and I have the letter from the captain to back it up. I do know I'm not the only cruise criminal, as this has happened to many on Carnival cruise line. Quick line of events
They confiscated my ( power strip) and left me a note, security interrogated me wanting to know how long it has been in use, etc. They were trying to hang my room steward for not reporting it. So I decided not to partake in trying to hang the person taking care of my room, and very well at that. on the 14th day at end of cruise, I was ordered to go to security, and it is then I was served with a letter from the captain, "no longer allowed to cruise with carnival". But it was not just us, it was another elderly "criminal couple" busted for the same thing. She asked if I had a power strip too? and I said yes, and they confiscated it. I would not sign the document, but he let me take a picture of the to document it to prove it really happened. Oddly enough, I was supposed to get my property back at the end of the cruise, but they could not find it, BC they then knew, it was not a surge strip, but a power strip instead. I did call carnival and was reinstated to cruise on Carnival. They apologized about not getting me my surge strip back and gave me a $25 credit on my next cruise. When I cruised last week, the credit was no where to be found. I asked them, and they showed no record of it, and said maybe it expired. :) Wow!
Right only the vendors on a cruise ship are allowed to rip off passengers.
I wonder how the alcohol with minors works if the cruisers are from european countries where minors can drink whereas USA minors have to be 21.. Does the cruise lines go by USA laws or what countries ?
I've never been on a cruise but I would imagine that you sign a contract stating 21 is the drinking age. I could be wrong.
Click you .... Oh yea
I'm wagering most of the examples are from Carnival... 😂
I haven't seen any warning from vloggers that it is illegal to wear camouflage in certain countries.
You cannot wear anything camouflage on Barbados. The ship's program lets you know that any items with that pattern is banned. We were told even a Tee shirt or a backpack could get you into trouble and arrested
Is it stealing is you're taking toiletries?
salonika101 I don't believe so- they are complimentary!
I agree with every point, except when you talk about the Captain, you should soften the concept, he is not the absolute authority that will do as his fancy dictates, he is not a dictator either, if he is abusive … abusing his authority then he can be kicked out of his job or even go to jail!! we are talking about a cruise ship and not under a tyranny, just by saying that he does as he pleases you are placing him in a hot seat to be hated and despised, unjustly, he is an authority and he should be respected, but he is a rational authority with responsibilities and boundaries. The captain I have met in the cruise ships are fair, gentlemen, intelligent, dedicated to their job … respected by the crew and the passengers, so please don't demonize them by make them ruthless dictators if they want to be such as kicking some one off the ship without giving any genuine reason.
Can you do a video on cruising while pregnant?
Marisa, we will touch on this today in the livestream vlog at 5:30 pacific. Not sure i have enough info for an full episode, but let's see if our subscribers can help!
Marisa Medellin It's my understanding that they won't sell a ticket to any woman who is beyond her second-trimester.
Okay thank you!
carolyn lucca
why won't they? Risk of on board pregnancy, or...?
That's actually incorrect. They'll sell you a ticket... They don't ask about pregnancy at the time of purchase. However they wont let you board the ship if your 22 weeks or later at the time of departure or anytime during the cruise. So if your less then 22 weeks pregnant your fine. Also they don't make you prove how many weeks you are, but they will make you sign an additional waver. So if someone beyond 22 weeks wants to risk it that's on them.
what is muster?
Hey Gene! The Muster drill is a mandatory safety briefing that every cruise line requires passengers to participate in prior to sailing on every cruise. Every single cruise line performance them a little bit differently but generally they require you to leave your cabin and attend a safety briefing either in a public area or near the lifeboat that your assigned to you in the event of an emergency.
Hi how should I understand. where is it going? the cruise ship on the Google can someone help me please?
What do you need?
hi
I need a app program that when I write the name of cruise ship shows me ferry route where the ship is going to go?
+Yosa Zans I don't know of a product like that- I'm sorry.
so ... will they throw you overboard lmao
iluvpinkandgold yes
is a minor 18 or 21? Me, I joined the army a couple months after i turned 17, and could drink in an army bar thereafter. Germany, later on, I don't think there was much of an illegal age. But after my first tour, I was 20 and wasn't allowed to drink whiskey in CO. More culture shock.
I skipped muster due to a broken ankle. As long as the other person(s) attends from your cabin, you can stay in your room. I'd rather have gone and been well...not sure why people want to skip it
C
So don't do what you wouldn't do on land...😂
Well said.
Will you go on a cruise with me
11. Take photo's or video.
George196207,
Take photos or videos of what?
Folks should read reddit Tales From the Front Desk. Basically abusing the staff with swearing or racial slurs will get you evicted and put on the DNR list. That’s the Do Not Rent list. I’m sure cruise lines will similarly ban customers from the property/vessel.
