Hi Morgan - I’m a straight woman and was not at all offended with your “straight person” comment. In fact I chuckled when I originally heard it because I thought it was funny and very ironic and spot on - and exactly what you then explained about your life’s experiences. Unfortunately many straight people don’t think about the other side of the coin and only think about themselves. Your comment was not inappropriate and honestly I thought it was perfect. 😁😁😁
I disagree. Flip the comment. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with gross behavior! WHY does he constantly police everyone? I have never seen any of this behavior n cruises. He seems to see everything!
@@americangal49 Then I would say you are part of the lucky few. I just got off a cruise a week ago and could not believe the arrogant entitled behavior that I’m seeing onboard. It’s getting worse all the time.
Good discussion. To the straight viewers who have made it to this point in their lives without experiencing being stereotyped....I get it. It feels terrible, doesn't it? Now imagine experiencing that feeling every day, from family, co-workers, schoolmates, movies and television. The weight of it can be exhausting. But instead of being dragged down by it, sometimes the healthiest antidote we reach for is humor. So, I appreciate Morgan's honest and humorous observations of cruising and cruisers!
Don't let a few people stop you from speaking up when you know what you're seeing is wrong. We all need more sane people like you, who have the ability to remind human beings what is right and wrong.
I’m straight and my husband and I laughed when you said “straight people”… people need to lighten the heck up. Thanks for all you do Morgan!! Love watching you…
Totally agree. Tony from La Lido Loca sometimes has to explain to people "it was a joke! sheesh!" for a comment made in a previous vlog, when it was clearly intended as a joke or sassy. 🤦🏻♂I think some people are perhaps blind to facial cues and deaf to voice inflection.
I'm a long time viewer of your channel. I love it because you make me laugh while giving out useful information about travel. I'm sure you are someone I would enjoy being friends with. You are intelligent, love your family, animals, and have respect for others. Don't ever stop being you. Don't stop giving your insight and opinions.
Your comment about the 2 gay men with a family is so valid! It’s easy for “straight “ people” to be unable to realize just how difficult it is to be over conscious about PDA in case it does create serious backlash!
I’m sorry that people had to take your comment about weird straight people and be so mean to you about it. I thought it was funny and I am straight. I got the irony of it and you are exactly right in that gay people have been picked on (especially from our generation) for so long. Keep doing what you are doing because the majority love you! Also mention your book every chance you get!
Love your channel, and your sense of humor. Don't let the haters stop you from being you. I am straight, but found the "straight couple" comment absolutely hilarious (and well, sadly well deserved).
I got right annoyed on my last cruise as it seems people have forgotten that if you get into a crowded elevator and it then stops at another floor after you've pushed your way in, you need to move out of the elevator to let people exit as you are now blocking their way. I kept waiting for people to move when the doors opened but I guess they figured the button was pushed by accident as they WOULD NOT MOVE THEIR ASS. And then when I asked them to move they act put out. Like be aware people! Ugh.
Unfortunately, we now live in a strange world where people seem to get more upset by words than by actions. It's extraordinary that people feel entitled to climb up on their soapbox to disparage you over your saying "straight people" but they don't spare a single thought for the inappropriate action of that disgusting man that you were talking about. Now don't get me wrong words can hurt and the power words have should be respected. But last I looked us "straight people" weren't known for being card carrying members of the disenfranchised; so why the hyper-sensetivity by those commenters? Anyway, I congratulate you Morgan for not caving to the comment bullies. Most of us are not hyper-sensative and love your videos so keep up the great work!
I had quite a chuckle at your comment which has sparked this little tempest in a teapot. Have we forgotten how to recognize a joke? Keep the observations and information coming. Also, sadly, the rude behavior exists everywhere! I think our years of lockdown contributed to the idea we live in private bubbles, and that our actions have no effect on others
The worst is the people who pull up the sun loungers right up to the pool so no one can dip their toes in because the entire pool is surrounded by sun loungers
As the purchaser of one of the NO page numbers book, I am delighted with Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship! I am happy to say report to anyone who is interested when I read it in public where they can buy it. Great show. Your frustration is valid about the responses from people who took offense.
Ewwww! Peeing from a balcony is so cringe, not to mention extremely “No-no!”. They should have been kicked off the cruise ship … and enjoying paying for their cruise, but not taking advantage of being on it. So disgusting!
Point a finger at the Cruise companies that sell the 17 drink a day expensive during packages,People then try getting their monies worth and get overly intoxicated,the crew continues to serve these people because of the tip that's automatically added
Two things: first, you SOOOO did NOT need to apologize - your sarcastic comment was empirically funny and absolutely valid in a world where heterosexual humor has stabbed at gay folks forever…anyone who has to comment that they were offended because they were straight is clearly harboring a healthy dose of homophobia wrapped up in “I have no problem with people being gay, but…”. Second thing, I am a vegetarian, and I spend half my time in buffet lines waiting for carnivores to get their meat before I can get my veggie sides…and you know what? It’s absolutely fine! LOL - seriously, you are on a freakin cruise ship in the middle of the ocean on vacation…chillax people! Wait your turn and enjoy the moment!
I do have a question regarding the towel/poolside situation. How long is 'too long'? How do they know you're not in the pool? (Unless they see you walk away, obviously). The business with the buffet line - one line per item would take FOREVER to get through. I just say - you have a tongue, talk. "Excuse me, can I just get some more chicken?" Am I the only one who wouldn't mind letting them in just for that?
Thank you for telling your story, thank you for sharing! You’re 100% right - that same situation would not have been treated the same as a straight couple. 🌈🌈🌈
For the buffet lines, I mainly sail with Disney and they have separate stations but everyone still seems to line up at one end. No matter how many times the crew members tell people not to, they still do and get angry at those who do the buffet the right way, by only going to the sections that you want. Their newest ship has done a better job of keeping more space in between the sections. If a buffet has their plates laid out in between the sections, that means that they don't want you making one giant line. You are supposed to just go to the section that you want. No reason to stand there and block items that you don't want, but others are trying to get to. I am not sure why so many have an issue with this. This mentality of getting in one big line actually makes it worse for everyone, as everyone is waiting longer instead of just getting what you want. And I 100% agree with you about the gay/straight issue.
You really had me laughing with that "Straight people, what's wrong with you?" 🤣 SOOOOOOOO I did end up telling my husband about it and we laughed because HE does this lol... Its just habit for him to greet me with a kiss and grab a boob or two. Why he does it? I asked him... His answer.. "Because titties babe, titties." So there ya have it. lol That is one answer from one straight man.🤷♀ Sometimes he doesn't realize he does it in public. & I will never use a hot tub
Hi Morgan, When you specifically said "straight people" in that video, I immediately got it, and appreciated what you meant. I really enjoy all your videos and look forward to seeing the one of you and your Mom cruising. 👍🙂
Hey Morgan, when you spoke out in the other video "straight people" I so fully agreed with you. I would have had the same response. I was like "yeah indeed, straight people". If we (🏳🌈) would do it then the ship would be too small. Your comments about this subject in this video is 100% recognizable. 😘
I was listening to SofaTime while in bed last night, was half asleep and then suddenly “BAM!” awake again after hearing my name 😂 Thanks for taking the time to read all your comments, I know it can take quite a lot of time, especially when you get hundreds of comments in a few days. You should definitely mention your book in every video. If people don’t want to hear the spiel then they can just skip forward 10 seconds.
Me, straight, and my good friend, gay both laughed. Some people need to be offended by a throwaway comment. The amount of times I have told my buddy "that's gay" and he's given me the "straight people"" comment... I wouldn't even dignify their comments with a response.
Loved your comment Re: straight people because it was very appropriate to the story you were telling. Also, I don't mind the book selling. As a matter of fact, I'm going to buy it now. Love your content and TH-cam personality. 💪
You got Every good reason to advertise your Book 😊 its a Great read & brought some loud giggles from me. That my hubby was looking at me “ are you ok “ 😂 .Morgan please think about writing an other one , i am sure you have many more Travel stories to tell us 😜 Have a Good week😊
My girlfriend and I burst out laughing when you went into your book Ad after the comment complaining about you book Ad.. and I immediately went to Amazon and ordered a copy 😂
I'm currently reading your book and loving it!! Keep talking about it to give more people the opportunity to experience it. PS. You mention another channel; can I know where to find that channel please?
Nothing wrong with what you said Morgan some people just have to find fault with anything they can. Keep up the good work looking forward to the next one.
Totally knew you would get some flack about that comment. Perhaps those people who got offended were never bullied or discriminated against. Also, I totally “get” your humor, and love it. By the way, Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship by Morgan is fabulous. You should all read it!
Yes, it’s interesting (and disheartening) that people who have been so privileged due to their sexual orientation would take offense so easily at what was obviously a joke. While the oppression of LGBTQ people escalates here in the US, I think straight people should take a deep breath and not overreact. (I’m sure I’ll get attacked now for saying this). As always, great video Morgan!
I am a "straight person" and I found the humor in your video. I will be 55 in 2 days, so I understand what you was saying. I am from a very very small town in WV. Our school was so small that it housed 7th to 12th grade. There was a few guy people in our school and they had to watch themselves. I am still friends with the ones I hung out with. 2 of the girls had came to my house a few years back and I told them this is my house and I want you all to act like it is your house. Yes my kids (a boy and a girl) was home and I told them they was girl friends. That they should not be treated any different. So yes more "straight people" act like they need to rent a hotel room. I will be following your page now. Best wishes to you.
Morgan... the first thing you must remember is that no matter how hard you try, you will piss off someone. Some will just disagree, some will not understand this is humor, some just love to argue and will oppose whatever is said. So... I enjoy your humor and hope you will continue in this vein. Personally, you could not carry me onto a cruise of any kind. But perversly, I enjoy the cruising videos. Best wishes!
Love you… love your videos… just keep on being you… there will ALWAYS be haters… but it sure seems like they are pouring out of the woodwork now…why? What happened??
“I’ve seen more gay PDA than straight PDA” as she proceeds to mention surrounding herself with _gays_ 🤦♀️🤦♂️ I would imagine that’s how it works Denise Complaining about about a remark about an this-is-the-standard experience with her skewed anecdotal BTW Pride has nothing to do with behaviour on a cruise
That’s where I try to only get in the hot tubs or pools early in the day. I know it’s no guarantee that there won’t be any nastiness in them but I think it lessens the chances.
I had my Princess bag on a chair in the buffet while I went to get my food. My soda was on a ledge next to it. When I came back a couple was sitting there. I pointed out he was sitting on my camera. How could you not feel it? They got up and I sat there.
Morgan thanks for opening up. I NEVER realized what you had to go thru during your life. Wow -writing from USA- BUT you were not to all freedoms, being yourself.
Funny and odd story. We went to the buffet (which we normally don't do-maybe this is why). The man ahead of us stepped up to the linguini and shrimp. Huge tray of it. He stood there and picked out EVERY shrimp in the dish. Just left the linguini for everyone else. WTH? These people walk among us.
I Have the Perfect Buffet Solution!! Where I grew up we used to have a Duff’s Smorgasbord. You step up to the buffet and the food is on a carousel that rotates. You stand in your place and the food revolves around to you. Problem solved. This is what the cruise lines need. It’s more efficient for the staff also.
Thanks for the shot out!!! 😂😂 The only way he could have done it was standing on the chair or table because our railing was high...im just glad my kids weren't out there at the time.
Perhaps his toilet wasn't flushing. I keep hearing how NCL has this problem on all it's ships and it smells of sewage everywhere, even in the public toilets. I'm going on an NCL cruise from New Zealand in February and worry this will be the case.
Hi Morgan. You are becoming one of my favorites! I’m catching up on some of your older videos and you always entertain me! Keep on being you, and forget about the stupid hater’s. I would love to but your book, is it available in Kindle version? Thanks for making me laugh.
You should KEEP mentioning your book on EVERY video. You should be very proud of becoming a published author. I will be ordering your book from Amazon to read on my Anthem of the Seas cruise at Christmas, and hope you write another one!
Remembering my long lived starter apt days and wild group doing that off our balconies just toooooo much. We all need polite care and acceptance that is not over the top accepting... sometimes a challenge for all but can be done. And the poor behavior on all classes of these beautiful mainstream ship resorts( has to be a better word than mainstream or budget for these bigger than big fancy ones and up to top tier)...large and small ships with the cost all the way to top can really bring bad behavior to all of our attention.
I enjoy your posts very much. My first cruise was 53 year ago on the NCL Sunward but I didn't cruise again for years because adulting stuff happened. On my cruise my mom did her own thing - thinking where could I go - I was on a ship! I met a friend and as teens do - we got into mischief. We found the crew access and struck up a friendship with some sailors. We would lay out on the crews (not cruise) deck, and tan ourselves. The crew would spray us down with water so we didn't get too hot. We came back with a killer tan! Our ship was docked overnight in the Bahamas. Well, my new friend, her sailor, me, my sailor and some others got off the ship. The destination was crowded and a massive party was going on - somebody grabbed my butt and my sailor started a fight! The next day they took us to down to the engine room, slid open some massive doors and we jumped out of the side of the ship! Some sailors were diving out the side of the ship - some off the top of the ship. I just jumped. I felt like I was going to fall forever before hitting the water. They then hauled me and my friend up a rope ladder. We had the time of our lives. My sailor came to the US and stayed with me and my family for a while before he had to go back to work. I know this couldn't possibly happen in today's time. I don't think ships spend the night any more.
We go to the same hotel each summer. My first summer, a group of people would throw a regular football in the pool. These were grown adults. It happens. I’d prefer a pool football, but as long as I dont get hit it’s fine. I was hit 3-4x each time in the face or head. They would laugh and never once apologize. Once I was hit while sitting on the pool deck in a designated pool chair section. That could have been planned. . I asked them to watch it. They would laugh. Even their elderly mother laughed. 😮There were no guards. I found a staff member who told them to stop. Employee told me 2 people went to hospital last week for broken noses from football. When I got out of the pool to complain, the one lady said to my kids, “well kids, mommy is leaving and never coming back.” Luckily, my kids are much older than they look and knew what was going on. That same lady is a teacher AND not a hotel guest nor does she pay to get in each day. She comes back each year. She doesn’t recognize me. We’ve stayed at other hotels, but we often take walks along the beach and see her there each year. Crazy.
Nothing for you to apologize for, Morgan. When I heard you say that on the video, I laughed! It was funny. If people don't understand or appreciate your humor, they should find another channel. Love your humor and personality.❤
I prefer not being too close to the pool. The only time I get into the pool on a cruise ship is during very off hours where there are very few people in it.
My husband likes to get in the hot tubs on our cruises.....NOT ME!! On one cruise towards the end of the cruise my husband developed a severe rash on his chest and back. By the time we got home the rash was oozing and he went to the doctor. He was diagnosed with "hot tub folliculitis". It is caused by contaminated water!!! YUCK! My husband contacted the cruise line and they said that they test the water in the hot tubs every four hours. Not true as we had several sea days and we lounge in the solarium by the hot tub. Never once did we see anyone test the water. We demanded to get a copy of the documentation of the cleaning schedule. Of course they didn't have one and ended up giving us a $1,000 future cruise credit. I would NEVER get in a hot tub unless it is our own and I know it is clean.
Morgan, do not apologize and maybe speaking your experiences more may be a good thing. I am a 50yo WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Male) from Canada and have learned so much from listening to friends and acquaintances whom have felt safe enough to tell me about their realities, much of which I would have never even imagined let alone considered. I have traveled to many places in the world without any feeling of not being able to do what I want, when I want and where I want, not worrying about any of the hurdles of many other people without the Privilege of just being born the way I was born. This extends to other groups as well. I once had my eyes opened, in a country I never felt unsafe in, when talking to two college aged sisters from Pennsylvania whom were sitting in front of my brother and I and suggested they could take a cab to see a sight they really wanted to see. Very politely one of them replied, "With all due respect, you are two grown white men, it is too risky for us to get in a cab alone and we would not even do it that home." Thanks Morgan for educating us on EVERYTHING Unofficial or not.
Your comment of peeing off the balcony reminded of one of our recent cruises. I was on our balcony, next door there was a group of young adults, maybe in their early 20's. This guy comes out yelling and starts peeing next door. Maybe someone was occupying theirs but really, you're peeing outside???
Holy cow! How have we missed your TH-cam channel?! You are hilarious and unfortunately so correct on your feeling about these boneheads who really need to stay home and quit being a nuisance to common decent folks like us! Were they raised in barns? We’ve only cruised on smaller ships with a couple hundred guests and have seen quite a few faux pax’s so I can’t imagine this times a thousand or more!! We’ve just booked a couple of cruises on larger ships and since we’ve found you, I’m getting the willies thinking about what kinds gross behavior we may experience. Thank God we both have pretty good senses of humor and usually can’t wait to tell each other if we’ve seen something hilarious and/or gross! Oh, well, we’ll see if we can find more morons than you’ve seen! Can’t wait…I think!🤣BTW I’m on the first chapter of your book and loving it! Thanks! Keep up the great work!!🥰👍👍
Personally Morgan in response to Carol. I watch these videos ONLY for the time that you sell your book. I scan each video for the advertisement watch that and get my enjoyment. :) Snark aside. I did really like the book and it was a fun quick read when I took my 3rd cruise on Athem of the Seas last November. Love your videos, including the part where you sell your book :)
I was on a cruise recently and it was really early in the morning, about 6.30am, I was up on deck siting next to the spa's and there was a guy in the spa who was blowing his nose into his hand, then rinsing his hand in the spa, he did this about 7 times, blew his nose into his hand!!! (Note* over half the ship had confirmed CoVID cases at this stage of the cruise) it was so disgusting!

The line issue. When people are waiting for eggs or toast and stand in front of items I may want. I just say excuse me and get whatever I need.
The straight person comment made me laugh!! I do like the slightly sassy Morgan though haha 😂. Some people do need to chill . 😉

Getting Stitches On A Cruise Ship 👏👏👏
Plug that book!
Ours should arrive tomorrow! Hubby bought it to read on our cruise next week.
Love to hear about your book!❤❤❤

you go man!! this is your right to say what you want and that is called communication
My wife and i are straight and it didn't bother us one bit.
I LOVED your book Morgan. I'd totally get another. I brought it for my cruise reading last cruise. ❤
This video randomly popped up on my recommendations. I watched, I subscribed and I bought the book, glad you mentioned it! Glad I found your channel!
Hey! So glad you found me! Thanks for the support.
I am straight and found it funny not offensive. Because I agree with you. It's gross stop it.
Thank you for taking your time to make the world 🌍 better. We need more people like you in the world. Have a blessed day.

You got Every good reason to advertise your Book 😊 its a Great read & brought some loud giggles from me. That my hubby was looking at me “ are you ok “ 😂 .Morgan please think about writing an other one , i am sure you have many more Travel stories to tell us 😜
Have a Good week😊
Beautiful stated, Thanks! ❤
I think Connie's ridiculousness was an excellent segueway to talk about your book, again. Well done!!!! lol!!
I like that you are you! Don’t let anybody tell you how to be!
My girlfriend and I burst out laughing when you went into your book Ad after the comment complaining about you book Ad.. and I immediately went to Amazon and ordered a copy 😂
I'm currently reading your book and loving it!! Keep talking about it to give more people the opportunity to experience it.
PS. You mention another channel; can I know where to find that channel please?
Thanks so much for the support, Bernice! The other channel is th-cam.com/users/gutenmorgan
Nothing wrong with what you said Morgan some people just have to find fault with anything they can. Keep up the good work looking forward to the next one.
I wish the crew members would confront things such as saving chairs for hours and kids in the adult areas. Why should we have handle it.
Totally knew you would get some flack about that comment. Perhaps those people who got offended were never bullied or discriminated against. Also, I totally “get” your humor, and love it.
By the way, Getting Stitches on a Cruise Ship by Morgan is fabulous. You should all read it!
Yes, it’s interesting (and disheartening) that people who have been so privileged due to their sexual orientation would take offense so easily at what was obviously a joke. While the oppression of LGBTQ people escalates here in the US, I think straight people should take a deep breath and not overreact. (I’m sure I’ll get attacked now for saying this).
As always, great video Morgan!
This straight person was not offended and indeed everyone should recognize a joke. Attacking each other helps no one.
Can you please cite specific examples of how LGBTQ people are experiencing escalated oppression here in the United States?
Loved your sofa time and you put my story in a very elegant way - which was great 😀
I am a "straight person" and I found the humor in your video. I will be 55 in 2 days, so I understand what you was saying. I am from a very very small town in WV. Our school was so small that it housed 7th to 12th grade. There was a few guy people in our school and they had to watch themselves. I am still friends with the ones I hung out with. 2 of the girls had came to my house a few years back and I told them this is my house and I want you all to act like it is your house. Yes my kids (a boy and a girl) was home and I told them they was girl friends. That they should not be treated any different. So yes more "straight people" act like they need to rent a hotel room. I will be following your page now. Best wishes to you.
Morgan... the first thing you must remember is that no matter how hard you try, you will piss off someone. Some will just disagree, some will not understand this is humor, some just love to argue and will oppose whatever is said. So... I enjoy your humor and hope you will continue in this vein. Personally, you could not carry me onto a cruise of any kind. But perversly, I enjoy the cruising videos. Best wishes!
It's your channel. Do what ever you wish❤
You can mention your book as much as you want, but personally I’m ready for the sequel. Is there a part two coming in the future?!
Just clicked on the video and I’m here for it. Can’t wait to hear what you’re about to talk about!
Love you… love your videos… just keep on being you… there will ALWAYS be haters… but it sure seems like they are pouring out of the woodwork now…why? What happened??
I solve the problem to do or not to do but avoiding the buffet as much as possible. If I do, then I only go to an area where there isn't a line.
I’m hoping for another book. My next cruise is in 279 days and I need something else to read!
My sun is Sagittarius as is my rising. Ask me again if i would have spoken up at the wine tasting. Take a quick guess
“I’ve seen more gay PDA than straight PDA” as she proceeds to mention surrounding herself with _gays_ 🤦♀️🤦♂️ I would imagine that’s how it works Denise
Complaining about about a remark about an this-is-the-standard experience with her skewed anecdotal BTW Pride has nothing to do with behaviour on a cruise
That’s where I try to only get in the hot tubs or pools early in the day. I know it’s no guarantee that there won’t be any nastiness in them but I think it lessens the chances.
I had my Princess bag on a chair in the buffet while I went to get my food. My soda was on a ledge next to it. When I came back a couple was sitting there. I pointed out he was sitting on my camera. How could you not feel it? They got up and I sat there.
Love your book!
Morgan. Thank you to be berry honest love you 😍 God Blessed
Morgan thanks for opening up. I NEVER realized what you had to go thru during your life. Wow -writing from USA- BUT you were not to all freedoms, being yourself.
Funny and odd story. We went to the buffet (which we normally don't do-maybe this is why). The man ahead of us stepped up to the linguini and shrimp. Huge tray of it. He stood there and picked out EVERY shrimp in the dish. Just left the linguini for everyone else. WTH? These people walk among us.
FYI, you keep mentioning it. I will go look for it, next time I look for a Kindle book
I Have the Perfect Buffet Solution!! Where I grew up we used to have a Duff’s Smorgasbord. You step up to the buffet and the food is on a carousel that rotates.
You stand in your place and the food revolves around to you. Problem solved. This is what the cruise lines need. It’s more efficient for the staff also.
Hugs to you Morgan. Keep being you.
Thanks for the shot out!!! 😂😂 The only way he could have done it was standing on the chair or table because our railing was high...im just glad my kids weren't out there at the time.
Perhaps his toilet wasn't flushing. I keep hearing how NCL has this problem on all it's ships and it smells of sewage everywhere, even in the public toilets. I'm going on an NCL cruise from New Zealand in February and worry this will be the case.
You never offend me. Ever! Been watching you long enough to know your intentions.
Yes, it is bad manners to not wait in an obvious queue regardless of what item you want. Morgan could not say it so I’ll just say it directly.
Hi Morgan. You are becoming one of my favorites! I’m catching up on some of your older videos and you always entertain me! Keep on being you, and forget about the stupid hater’s.
I would love to but your book, is it available in Kindle version?
Thanks for making me laugh.
My first book is already available on Kindle. The second will be coming very soon! amzn.to/4fPYcEm
Hum, I listened to that video, and I didn't hear those words. Things like that just slip by me. Fascinating so many people were annoyed by that.
You should KEEP mentioning your book on EVERY video. You should be very proud of becoming a published author. I will be ordering your book from Amazon to read on my Anthem of the Seas cruise at Christmas, and hope you write another one!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write that! I hope the book puts a smile on your face!
I’m sitting at my neighborhood pool and I just heard a clicking noise. Sounded like a nail clipper I took a peak and of course it was. Yuck 🤢
The wind blows the pee back on the sunbathers on the lower balconies😂
Remembering my long lived starter apt days and wild group doing that off our balconies just toooooo much. We all need polite care and acceptance that is not over the top accepting... sometimes a challenge for all but can be done. And the poor behavior on all classes of these beautiful mainstream ship resorts( has to be a better word than mainstream or budget for these bigger than big fancy ones and up to top tier)...large and small ships with the cost all the way to top can really bring bad behavior to all of our attention.
I enjoy your posts very much. My first cruise was 53 year ago on the NCL Sunward but I didn't cruise again for years because adulting stuff happened. On my cruise my mom did her own thing - thinking where could I go - I was on a ship! I met a friend and as teens do - we got into mischief. We found the crew access and struck up a friendship with some sailors. We would lay out on the crews (not cruise) deck, and tan ourselves. The crew would spray us down with water so we didn't get too hot. We came back with a killer tan! Our ship was docked overnight in the Bahamas. Well, my new friend, her sailor, me, my sailor and some others got off the ship. The destination was crowded and a massive party was going on - somebody grabbed my butt and my sailor started a fight! The next day they took us to down to the engine room, slid open some massive doors and we jumped out of the side of the ship! Some sailors were diving out the side of the ship - some off the top of the ship. I just jumped. I felt like I was going to fall forever before hitting the water. They then hauled me and my friend up a rope ladder. We had the time of our lives. My sailor came to the US and stayed with me and my family for a while before he had to go back to work. I know this couldn't possibly happen in today's time. I don't think ships spend the night any more.
We go to the same hotel each summer. My first summer, a group of people would throw a regular football in the pool. These were grown adults. It happens. I’d prefer a pool football, but as long as I dont get hit it’s fine. I was hit 3-4x each time in the face or head. They would laugh and never once apologize. Once I was hit while sitting on the pool deck in a designated pool chair section. That could have been planned. . I asked them to watch it. They would laugh. Even their elderly mother laughed. 😮There were no guards. I found a staff member who told them to stop. Employee told me 2 people went to hospital last week for broken noses from football. When I got out of the pool to complain, the one lady said to my kids, “well kids, mommy is leaving and never coming back.” Luckily, my kids are much older than they look and knew what was going on. That same lady is a teacher AND not a hotel guest nor does she pay to get in each day. She comes back each year. She doesn’t recognize me. We’ve stayed at other hotels, but we often take walks along the beach and see her there each year. Crazy.
Oh, no! What about the people on the decks below?
Nothing for you to apologize for, Morgan. When I heard you say that on the video, I laughed! It was funny. If people don't understand or appreciate your humor, they should find another channel. Love your humor and personality.❤
I prefer not being too close to the pool. The only time I get into the pool on a cruise ship is during very off hours where there are very few people in it.
hot tub is a prime source of methicillin resistant staph aureus, which is a skin/zit resident bug, and has affected a number of nfl players, etc.
My husband likes to get in the hot tubs on our cruises.....NOT ME!! On one cruise towards the end of the cruise my husband developed a severe rash on his chest and back. By the time we got home the rash was oozing and he went to the doctor. He was diagnosed with "hot tub folliculitis". It is caused by contaminated water!!! YUCK! My husband contacted the cruise line and they said that they test the water in the hot tubs every four hours. Not true as we had several sea days and we lounge in the solarium by the hot tub. Never once did we see anyone test the water. We demanded to get a copy of the documentation of the cleaning schedule. Of course they didn't have one and ended up giving us a $1,000 future cruise credit. I would NEVER get in a hot tub unless it is our own and I know it is clean.
Morgan, do not apologize and maybe speaking your experiences more may be a good thing. I am a 50yo WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Male) from Canada and have learned so much from listening to friends and acquaintances whom have felt safe enough to tell me about their realities, much of which I would have never even imagined let alone considered. I have traveled to many places in the world without any feeling of not being able to do what I want, when I want and where I want, not worrying about any of the hurdles of many other people without the Privilege of just being born the way I was born. This extends to other groups as well. I once had my eyes opened, in a country I never felt unsafe in, when talking to two college aged sisters from Pennsylvania whom were sitting in front of my brother and I and suggested they could take a cab to see a sight they really wanted to see. Very politely one of them replied, "With all due respect, you are two grown white men, it is too risky for us to get in a cab alone and we would not even do it that home." Thanks Morgan for educating us on EVERYTHING Unofficial or not.
If you can pee off the balcony, you can fall overboard. Serves him right if he did!
Curious... is June celebrated in Germany? If not, happy pride anyway from MN! 😁 ❤🧡💛💚💜
I've heard of this on college campuses, but never seen it.
Your comment of peeing off the balcony reminded of one of our recent cruises. I was on our balcony, next door there was a group of young adults, maybe in their early 20's. This guy comes out yelling and starts peeing next door. Maybe someone was occupying theirs but really, you're peeing outside???
Holy cow! How have we missed your TH-cam channel?! You are hilarious and unfortunately so correct on your feeling about these boneheads who really need to stay home and quit being a nuisance to common decent folks like us! Were they raised in barns?
We’ve only cruised on smaller ships with a couple hundred guests and have seen quite a few faux pax’s so I can’t imagine this times a thousand or more!! We’ve just booked a couple of cruises on larger ships and since we’ve found you, I’m getting the willies thinking about what kinds gross behavior we may experience. Thank God we both have pretty good senses of humor and usually can’t wait to tell each other if we’ve seen something hilarious and/or gross! Oh, well, we’ll see if we can find more morons than you’ve seen! Can’t wait…I think!🤣BTW I’m on the first chapter of your book and loving it! Thanks! Keep up the great work!!🥰👍👍
Personally Morgan in response to Carol. I watch these videos ONLY for the time that you sell your book. I scan each video for the advertisement watch that and get my enjoyment. :)
Snark aside. I did really like the book and it was a fun quick read when I took my 3rd cruise on Athem of the Seas last November.
Love your videos, including the part where you sell your book :)
I was on a cruise recently and it was really early in the morning, about 6.30am, I was up on deck siting next to the spa's and there was a guy in the spa who was blowing his nose into his hand, then rinsing his hand in the spa, he did this about 7 times, blew his nose into his hand!!! (Note* over half the ship had confirmed CoVID cases at this stage of the cruise) it was so disgusting!
