Was on a cruise in September and there was a group of 6 people trying to save seats for 40 people, yes 40..I was like no way I seeing in this row of empty seats...smh
Not just a cruise ship issue. I was recently at a comedy show and one of the comics actually went to the table of people who were just so loud no one could hear him. IMO, too many people have forgotten how to behave in public or were never taught.
Lack of manners are a real problem now. I really think it should be taught in schools since parents aren't teaching it apparently.
@@SirenaSpades Between my parents and the nuns I know what they are. LOL
I also love the shows. I hate people who save seats for friends or family who are too lazy to come on time. I also hate the talkers.
Or they could be in the bathroom or multiple couples coming from different parts of the ship.
This morning we had breakfast in the main dining room. Our speed is based on staff and kitchen speed. By the time we finished breakfast (which we started with plenty of time before the captain’s talk) made us late. Life went on.
Most people who complain about others saving seats do exactly the same thing. It’s only wrong when others do it. Are you saying you can’t save a seat for your wife who had to use the ladies room? Your perfection in your own mind is showing.
@@dgrove627Saving a seat or two is fine.
@@dgrove627So meet by the theater when your group is all there and then find seats.
I believe that saving a seat for perhaps a couple that is with you is ok. Everyone seems respectful in my experience of a couple of saved seats. It's just when it's like I mentioned in another post here, people who save 20 seats is a problem.
A longtime ago during a show on the Oasis of the Seas I had the pleasure to tell two 20 something women to “shut the Frell up or leave!” They’d been critical of the show for two songs. And I couldn’t take it anymore. When they loudly protested most of the surrounding people said I was right. They left and it was a great show.
This is a "pro-active" approach and if handled correctly - way more effective than posting a vlog on TH-cam and rant and rave - the coward way.
Worst I had in a show was a "gentleman " behind me put his bare foot on both of my armrests. I politely asked him 3 times to remove them. The 4th time I told him he should request a wheelchair because of his two broken feet. Never saw those feet again.
Oh yuck!
Two weeks ago I was on the harmony of the seas, watching the ice skating show I was in the wheelchair section, and the lady pulled up right behind me with not much room to see between us all and just talked and talked and talked. Drove me crazy.
I personally just LOVE when people at a show repeatedly text, post, etc. during the show. It just warms the cockles of my heart to know that those young folks are able to share with the world, right in the middle of a show, the mundane details of their lives. Because, you know, the world won't be right until EVERYONE knows what type of breakfast cereal they had that morning. Each time those screens light up, and I reflexively divert my attention from the performance, my eyes well up with tears of joy in the knowledge that their existence is far more important than the existence of the other 2,000 people in the audience, or at least they sadly believe so...
I usually watch the shows from my scooter. Really LOVE when people come in to a show in progress and proceed to stand in the small space available in front of me. When I ask them to move because they are blocking my view, they’re comeback is “Oh I didn’t see you”😂
The cruise lines need to close the doors so the late comers can’t get in and post ushers in the theater to shush the conversations.
Agreed.
Hi Tony. Happy Saturday. I 100% agree with you. I had 4 people behind me during a show who would not stop talking and laughing at each other's jokes. I finally turned around and just looked them in the eye. I didn't say anything, just looked for about 1 solid minute. Shook my head and turned around. They were quiet after that. Love the singing today. As always thank you for all you do ❤
Why not just ask them to please be quiet so you can watch the show rather than passive aggression
@@BostonHeatherthe reason I just gave them a look was because they were young adults who knew better. I gave them the mother/grandmother look. (Yes , I'm that old). It was fine after that. Didn't see a need to add my voice.
@@BostonHeather I don't think it was "passive aggressive" in the least. It's called non-verbal communication.
You gave me flashbacks of my mother
@@B-ch6uk the few times I have used it in my lifetime. I always think of my mother when she used to give me "the look".
i love your singing tony :) you have a beautiful voice :)
Tony, you are a very good singer!! I enjoy listening to you!
My husband and I rarely go to the shows anymore, but decided to watch one. Two women next to me talked constantly even after I asked them twice to please be quiet so we could hear the show. They just looked at me and went on talking. At the same show the person sitting behind my husband kept kicking his chair. We finally gave up and left.
Cruise line shouldn't let them in once the show has started or allow them to talk during the show
That is true, just like our college professors used to lock the door after class began.
The best way to have a chance of shutting people up at the shows from the start is for all cruise lines to make an announcement to please remain quiet for the entirety of the show so everyone can hear the performers.
Great content today. On our last cruise there was a women sitting in front of us that turned her cell phone on after the lights dimmed and the show started. After a few minutes of having the glare in our face I gently tapped her on the shoulder and asked her to please turn off her phone as the glare was annoying the people sitting around her. To her credit she did turn off the phone but her husband didn't seem pleased with me. At another show that was a musical there was a lady that would stand up and dance when there was a song. After the show the man sitting behind her said something to her and they had a heated conversation. I don't like confrontation but this type of disrespect is very annoying.
We cruise Oceania…they do not allow recording of shows. Several times people have their cellphones out checking emails, making recordings, and playing games. One particular night a lady directly in front of us was playing games on her phone. Everyone around us was irritated with the lights and even sounds. Halfway into the show, I could no longer stand it and tapped her on the shoulder and asked her to stop. Fortunately, she did so and wasn’t too angry. The sad thing was we had seen her do the same a night or two before this show. Many times we have seen the same passengers come into the shows late, um, do they think they are special?
"Morays and eels." You always crack me up!
I love your honesty and personal experiences. Super entertaining. I love your tips on filming etiquette.
I really am discussed when people take more than they will eat in the buffet. Just take a sampling to try then go back for more if you liked it! Always enjoy your videos.
disgust not discussed...
Been with you since the early days Tony and I have to give it to you. A lot of content creators start out hot and full of excitement about their channel and then slowly, over the years you see that excitement disappear, and their channels become lackluster because of it. You have kept that same excitement and wonder that keeps us coming back to look at your mug every day or two. Keep up the great work Buddy.
Not this guy. The cruise ships may go away one day - but not him. He is all in one. Information, entertainment, facts, right on the nail. A combo that is unheard of these days.
On a Carnival cruise, we were at a show that had quite an involved story which I was totally transfixed by. Then some drunk two rows behind me stood up and started yelling " Rock and Roll! " (there was rock music being sung as part of the story} bringing me and several other people out of the moment and the story being told. I never wanted to punch someone in the face more than I did at the moment.
“A big pile of shut up and listen”…..omg! I’m totally going to borrow your phrase, Tony! Love it and so true. AND crop dusting 😂😂…so funny
Wow Tony, I am constantly amazed by your beautiful singing voice! Love it!!❤❤
If there's a heckler at a comedy show, I always root for the comedian. We've sat in the front row and the comedian has pointed to my husband, usually, and we just play along and have fun. Didn't get offended or upset. They came up after and thanked us for being good sports and bought us a drink.
🎉 unfortunately, there are a few people who seem to think that heckling is expected, and as part of the show, I think this is because there are indeed, a few comedians, who talk to different audience members, and take the heckling as part of their show. But there are fewer and fewer of that type of comedian, and most have set routines. I was shocked and annoyed one time when I went with my sister to a comedy show, and she started heckling the comedian and talking back-and-forth with him. I tried to shut her up without much success, and afterwards it turned out that she was convinced that that was part of the show and that people in the audience were supposed to add their own funny bits. I could not convince her of the error of her ways, and she wasn't even funny. I never went to another comedy show with her.... by the way, she was 50 years old...
Sometime the comedian ask questions to certain people that are sex related. That was the case with my grandson whom is autistic and also has brain cancer.i don't think that he realized that he was special needs person. I shut him down quickly and nicely .my grandson is 30 years old but didn't need to answer these personal questions. After the show he met us and i explained that we are not prudes and explained his situation. He couldn't have been kinder even giving my grandson a gift.all in all enjoyed his show!
brilliant use of KISS "Rock N Roll All Night" footage :)
Hi Tony... Here is a thing that happened in the theater on two different cruises. People carrying a slushy Pina colada spilling it before the show on the seat they were going to sit in. Instead of telling a crew member they just leave and sit in a different spot somebody comes along and sits in the mess ruining their show. I think whomever does this it's an accident they won't make you pay for the seat tell someone.
Hi Tony, from the Serenade of the Seas going to cross the canal, will end up in LA. We had some people that did not shut up in Karaoke, I couldn’t help myself and hushed them, lack of respect galore!
Ya Karaoke is wild. I sang last week could barely hear myself over the talkers.
I love watching your show since I get good laughs & I enjoy your singing, you do have a great voice. Your show is unique & that's why you are top of the cruise news position.
I agree completely except for the first one. Schedules are fluid when you are cruising.
All so true.
We had a family sitting behind us at a Jersey Boys show and one of them spent the entire show translating it for the rest of their party, It drove me insane but luckily we were able to see the show again later in the week.
My biggest pet peeve at concerts when people singing when not asked by the artist, you can't hear the band you came to see after spending all that money, instead you pay to hear this dog howling😂
Great advice ❤! Maybe the old fashion idea, have ushers in the theater
I appreciate & respect you for believing in not repaying evil with evil. Too many people would have argued or aggravated that person behind you. Unfortunate for me I have a close family member that would have behaved badly. I’ve learned to just not do certain activities with him. Your actions speak for the kind of man you are. 🙏❤️
We enjoy the shows so much and been in the position it is sad and very rude also it is good to get their on time we do eat at the early so we can get to the early show that is the best part of the cruise
I have had similar experiences in theatres trying to watch a movie. Seems like good manners and respect for others is something that is no longer kearned by kids. I am a bit surprised at this happeneing on a cruise ship, the passengers are usually a bit older than the norm and have a bit more life experience.
You have a wonderful singing voice! I appreciate those who are blessed with that as I am one of those who has people rush in to save them when singing in the shower! (true story)
Able bodied people who sit in designated handicapped seats and people who wear to much (or any) purfume, there are many people who are allergic and can't sit next to someone wearing it for periods of time
I get migraine when there is too much perfume around
Often in the elevators on "dress days" to be found
Disgusting!
i've been meaning to say this before but...i knew you had sung in a school chorus/choir before you told us...i had noticed that you have a pleasant vibrato, you stay on pitch, and have a lovely deep baritone voice...your singing on this post confirms my observations...please sing on and on
totally agree with all
I have a theory that the people who are talking during the shows in the theaters are probably the same ones that talk during the muster drill. Love your content and keep up the great work. I think I was guilty of being one of the "bad" theater people because when I was on the meraviglia back in April I was using my cell phone not to talk but to take photos.
Tony, you might add another annoyance. Person sat behind you who is always kicking your seatback. This happened to me on Celebrity Millennium repositioning cruise recently. I got so mad, stood up, turned around and asked him what his problem was and tapped his leg. He got the message.
You could have asked him politely to stop. That might have worked too.
@@B-ch6uk don’t cruise much do you!
@@Masterchief68 I cruise quite often if you must know. I just think if you ask politely people tend to listen.
@@B-ch6uk Polite people don't kick seat backs. It's pretty strange to defend this.
Thank you so much,
Amen to the shut up, listen and enjoy.
I have been VERY lucky. In all of my roughly 60 cruises, the worst thing to have happened was a couple of times people tried to get to a center row seat where their friends/spouse/SO was holding a seat for them. But these happened early in the performance and the rest was distraction free. Also, I rarely attend the large production shows. They're just not my thing.
I love the onboard entertainment! Thank you for posting this no nos!
Strong scent is an issue, especially in large gatherings like cruise entertainment venues. It seems some folks feel they need to perfume the entire room, rather than save it as a reward for someone who gets very close to them.
Perfume is supposed to attract from some distance 😂
Oh yeah, disgusting!,
As disgusting as not using soap and water plus deodorant afterwards.
At an ice skate show, before it started, 2 people tried to reserve an entire row of like 20 seats. We were sitting on a bar stool behind the row (after we were told they were saved seats) and after seeing 10 different people trying to sit in the row and being told they were saved seats, I started telling people to just go sit down on that row, which they did. Turns out, their "party" didn't arrive til after the show started and the 2 seat savers left in a huff. I think the best thing would be is to just say excuse me and step across them and sit down in "their" row.
My pet peeve at a show is when parents bring small children who have no interest in watching, but instead they jump yell run tug at your chair etc.
Aboutly Tony you nailed it bro
I totally agree with all 6. Thanks for sharing!
shut up and listen when you are part of an audience during a cruise show
😂😂😂😂😂
Tuba Mirum? I had you pegged as a tenor. That Luda wrote some quality stuff.
Tony I wish more people were like you, I have always believed never return evil for evil, 2 wrongs don’t make a right. It’s so hard on cruises to not lose it sometimes. Good for you!
Other people ruin everything.
😂
WHOA, "Tuba mirum" !!?! Shout out Wolfie!
I agree with M!
Tony you are a man of integrity and respect. Thank you for always being an example. ~Cara 😊
Tony you are a gem. I enjoy your content and your character! I hope my husband and I have the pleasure of meeting you and your wife on a cruise in the future!
It's so funny that people go to comedy shows who can't take a joke and then get upset lolol
Hi Tony Barnett! Agree with you most of the time and 100% on the point of people talking during a show. I have pulled out my “third grade teacher” voice and my “mom glare” several times. The most memorable for me was a group of middle-aged adults sitting behind me who talked and laughed wildly at their own jokes the whole time. As the show ended, I told the patriarch of the group that they had ruined the experience for all those around him. He answered that he didn’t care about my enjoyment, only for his own. Well. I guess I was put in my place, eh?! 🤷♀️
Great video ❤❤❤❤
when a parent doesn't notice or care that their child is screaming throughout the performance and doesn't quietly duck out of the show instead they make everybody else deal with it. That entitlement drives me nuts.
Spot on, old chum. I cannot stand ppl who are late and many are old and should know better! I have low tolerance.
As an old person I think it's younger people 😊
It is all ages.
sad, but true
I don't seem to mind someone coming in late, the biggest peeve for me is someone talking a few rows behind you and you can't seem to find an usher to shut them out. The movie theater I go to it always seems like the age range is 20s-30s lol.
Yea, you covered it pretty good here. Coming late is the most obtrusive methinks. Even if ducking, it still takes focus away from the performance, and probably even for the performers on stage [as you mention]. It's ok to arrive late...but sit at the very back or even STAND! Ha, I think about you [and Don even] when I see late arrivers. I say to myself, "Tony and Don would have a field day"...LOL.
A few years ago, my lady bought tickets to Barry Manilow in Las Vegas, and the entire show was live-streamed by a lady in the row in front of us. My lady complained to one of the ushers, and the lady put the phone away…for about 30 seconds and went right back to filming.
Got so caught up looking at scent bird that I had to come back and watch the show again!!! 🎉Thanks for the discount code Tony B!!!
Smell ya later Chuck! :)
I can't always be on time for a show but I can go to the very back and stand if necessary to avoid bothering others. And when traveling I always turn off my flash and never use it. I get better photos.
Crop dusting the MDR on the way out is one of life's great enjoyments.
Great video😊 Very good reminders for everyone.
Small heads up, bergamot. The T is silent, so more like bergamOH.😊
Didn't mean that as evil, but if it's in the product pitch, it kind of count's.
Meant as helpful, please take it so.
😊 Your videos are very helpful to me 😊
Tony, you covered them all perfectly ❤
We sailed the NCL Bliss in January 2019 and loved the go carts onboard with one exception: Apparently there was one older guy in his 60’s who thought those were Bumper Cars instead and kept drilling everyone, including a 9 year old girl with her dad. After hitting me twice hard and my wife, I confronted the person in charge of it to complain about the man, then spent the next 20 minutes trying to find him to express my opinion on his driving. His luck I couldn’t find him, instead a friend of mine gave me a beverage and I calmed down.
If you are sailing on NCL people, please remember that these are fun, not driving people into the rails.
We had a crop duster clear out half a section.
If you are sick, maybe pass on the show. The Flight show was ruined for my family last year because of a family (all masked so likely knew they were sick). Dad was late. They picked a middle seat and kept on going back and forth throughout the whole show because they needed medicine. They rubbed their kid’s stomach with some topical that was really strong. 15 minutes later the kid goes green and the mom helped him turn towards my husband as he puked all over my husband’s shoes. That cut the show for my whole family because of the idiots they couldn’t just rest in their cabin.
Good point there!
Hey Tony and Jenny B how are you guys doing ? Thanks Tony for the singing
Thanks for the video
Great topic!! I found on Royal that the disruptive ones were the suite saved Genie passengers! They come late due to saved seats in front, talk and leave early!! We had someone at the ice show, put her cell camera light on to video the show, behind us- blinded us and husband told us to chill!! Really???
you have great control. I would have went nuts
Stop the madness Luda😂
Great content.again today Tony. We were at a show on the Celebration last week when a woman in a scooter ran over the toe of an elderly lady who was hurt by the incident. This not only caused her pain but disrupted the entire section. I understand some guests need assistance with mobility, but please be cautious and courteous of those around you, especially in tight spaces such as the theatre.
Unfortunately, a number of cart and wheelchair users feel a sense of entitlement over others. Not all mind you, but enough to make it unsafe as in the time when we were out during Hurricane Sandy.
😮 I do apologize, I am in a wheelchair. I thought there was room. That's why I go early so that I don't get in the way of others.
I got up to go to the bathroom and someone took my seat. In the buffet someone sat on my bag with my camera in it. My drink was also on the ledge next to the seat. I had them move.
My cruise just got canceled. Carnival Panorama’s engine failed. They canceled Mazatlan and Pueto Vallarta for the people on board. They canceled 4 cruises entirely.
Ship on its way to Astoria, Oregon for repairs.
Gotta find my next cruise now.
Preach!
not on a cruise, but I was back stage waiting on a actor in order to change his wig, when a lady in the front row pulled out a big bag of chips and started eating them very loudly, asking her friend if she wanted some. It was so loud we could hear it back stage. when the actors started complaining about the noise I had to search for one of the ushers to them to stop the lady. it was bizarre.
Tony you have a great voice and I love to hear you sing!
Great video. Unfortunate that this will be news to so many people. As a former performer I can attest to the fact that it is terribly distracting if people start filming or taking photos. Additionally, in many cases it is an issue of violating copyright rules: it may be different on cruises, but on land a theater purchases the right to perform the piece live, but anything beyond that is a violation. People making and selling "pirate" recordings is a real thing, where neither composer nor performers get the residuals (compensation) that they have earned.
I saw the choir of man on NCL escape i totally enjoyed it.
Happy Saturday 🎉
Thanks Jennifer!
I had to back up and listen to your singing again! Whooooooaaa!!!
You should just do a concert for us!!
Something you didn't mention that I have witnessed: sitting in a show with a babbling or crying child. If they haven't taught their kid to be quiet in a setting like that, they shouldn't be at the show. Or as soon as the kid starts getting loud, they need to leave.
Always a great show Tony thanks
Lol oh yes - Tony is "The Show" - funnier than Cruise Ship entertainment.
8:32 Blinded By The Light. Shout out Luda (and MMEB)
We had a whole family sit in front of us about halfway into the show. We were all seated in the back of the theater. They were loud they were talking about who knows what because they spoke a different language. They kept playing musical chairs while completely disrupting our enjoyment of the show😅
Why did not you take closer seats so that people that come later will have farther seats ?
@@dmitripogosian5084 This was our first cruise so now we’ve learned valuable lesson.
Cruise news 🎶 cruises news 🎵 cruise news 🎶
Yesssss!!!! Like, share->copy link , be entertained!!!!!!! That person was so rude but you keep it calm cool and collected. Save it for the girliepops we love the hot gos
Just got off an 8 day on the Carnival Dream. Man you can tell they cut back on staffing numbers.
Was faster to eat in MDR than the buffet. Empty or OFF drink stations everywhere.
We prefer buffet but 30-40 min wait every meal got old by day 3
Crop dusting 😂🤣😂...If you ask my wife, I'm sure she'd say I qualify as "The Red Barron" of crop dusters. 😎
