I'm convinced people have lost their minds post 2020. I would'nt want my kids walking around in bikinis outside of the pool area, people forget that predators exist everywhere even on vacation. The pickleball guy and the parade people are just rude 😒. Parade people are lucky they didn't run into the right people to tell them too bad and they weren't moving 😅.
Just my two cents BUT ever since the pandemic people have lost their damn minds and think the world revolves around them. we have been on 35 cruises and in the last two years, the behavior we see from passengers is quite appalling and we only cruise on Celebrity.
No, it’s the Trump effect. I was called c8nt shortly after he was elected by a guy who almost side swiped me trying to pass where his lane ended. Trump and his fans hate women deep down.
I’ve seen people come into the buffet is just a robe. Sometimes the crew stopped them and sometimes they don’t. Idk why people think it’s ok to go to a dining venue is just a bath robe. You would r do that on land, soooo…..I don’t get it.
Regarding the pickleball guy, some people these days spoil things for everyone else. It only takes one bad actor to make it that now Royal Caribbean will have to spell out the proper decorum on a placard. Sportsmanship and courtesy should be an unspoken understanding. Too bad that happened.
@@Shameka614 I see your point, but smoking has been banned on balconies on almost every cruise line whether we like it or not. That's why they have smoking areas.
I agree with all your "weird" analysis. People are weird and mean and so entitled these days. New giant kid friendly ships like Utopia will never get my booking
We are in the end times. That's why people are acting cray. Sad thing is they don't even realize it because they are under satans spell. Like brainwashed. I used to be one of them. I believe the separation between wheat and tears is happening
Fun video, glad you’re mostly enjoying Utopia. Would have to slightly disagree that men’s swim shorts are becoming ever longer. I’d say these days mid-thigh seems most popular, while 20 years ago it was all board shorts to just above the knee. But I take your point that women’s swimwear is a lot more revealing.
My goodness. 🙄I just really feel like since emerging from the pandemmy, people just don't know how to politely interact in public? Either that, or I'm in my cranky Gen Xer era and have little patience for nonsense. Or, a combination of both. 🤭
I actually get to see a Sunday Sofa time within minutes of it releasing. Yay! The only proper response when the woman was complaining about your shorts would have been to hike them up even farther.
People have become so selfish, self-absorbed and plain old rude - everywhere. They engage in outrageous, even dangerous, behavior on airplanes, in airports, on cruises, in movie theaters, in grocery stores - everywhere. Those guys smoking weed on the balcony broke two ironclad rules of cruising: no smoking except where designated (which is never on balconies) and no drugs anywhere. You should have turned them in and gotten them kicked off cruise. PS Just "joined" as member.
I've never understood the behavior of people on vacation period. I mean they are on a cruise ship playing a game on vacation. If someone is able to get uptight in that situation then I do not have much hope for how they behave in the "real world". I do not accept the excuse that it may be the only cruise they ever get to take or that they only get to do it once a year, etc. There is no excuse for rude, entitled behavior. As for the 14 year old girls in the casino in their bikini's -- no, they do not belong there no matter what they are wearing. I believe you're right about the standards for men's swimwear vs women's. I have some theories on that but they may be a bit controversial and I'm not trying to cause arguments in your comments section. Thanks for another entertaining video!
There are rules for a reason and for some reason on Royal, people seem to think they can do whatever they want. We have found that people are inconsiderate to other cruisers on these mega Royal ships. I think you worry too much about what other people think. You’re doing a great job with your videos
One of my favourite travel vloggers surprised his 11 year old nephew with a business class trip on an international flight. He had told the boy they were going to take a tour of the plane. He was made to sit down and out ion his seat belt and then the engines started up......the boy was beside himself with excitement. It was his first plane ride and he loved every second of it. Another cruise vlogger told his nephews they were going to tour a cruise ship....they had no idea they were booked on it. It was a huge surprise for the delighted boys.
Sorry to say that I just got off a Celebrity cruise and every night starting around 5:00 the whole hallway (and into our cabin) smelled like pot. This is the second time it’s happened on Celebrity for us. There doesn’t seem to be anything staff can do because they can’t figure out where it’s coming from.
A cruise is always a microcosm of the world. You are always going to have some people who walk a different walk. I’ve learned to just laugh and embrace as long as the different folk are not negatively impacting my experience. As to the girls in bikinis, them being there, while not in accordance with the rules, are not hurting anyone. The guy on his balcony is free entertainment. In the social media age, more and more people seem to think they live in a bubble and behave in very selfish ways. They have also become more passive-aggressive. I don’t get it but it definitely seems to be a thing. I try to just walk away and not give them the power to impact my behavior. Then the problem stays their problem. Thanks, as always, for the interesting and thought provoking content.
Like your work! I often plan surprise trips for my wife and I. At any time my wife tells me about something she likes or would like to do, it goes on my list. Often I show her something (a location or activity) on TV or in a magazine and check her reaction on it. If she likes it - it goes on my list. I start planing those trips in all details usually 2 years in advance, trying to fulfill as many of her wishes/likes on my list, even researching the weather statistics in all locations over the last few years. She will be told the date the trip starts and ends and the weather stats (so she can pack accordingly). That's it. Gladly we both have fun doing it this way.
Great video Morgan 😅 yes i have noticed a huge change in people attitudes since the pandemic ( not just on cruise ships ) but in General. The smell of Weed makes me feel Nauseous gives me a nasty headache 😢 Just sitting in our Garden in the summer i get a “ Fair share of fumes depending on which direction the wind blows “ It’s not pleasant at all 🤢. Surly the Cruise ships make it loud and clear No smoking on Balconies or any where else on the ship ,as its a huge Fire risk 🤔 to kindly use the specially dedicated area for smokers only thats available on the cruise ship. Really surprised me that No Crew from the casino didn’t Speak to the Girls,explain they couldn’t be there,nor by way they were dressed 🤔. everyone has their own rules 🫣. Have a Good weekend 🥰
Ok you are not a weirdo, people have lost respect for others. When we were on Harmony,are neighbors were smoking constantly. My 95 year old mother was on oxygen and couldn’t even enjoy the balcony. We complained to several people which they did nothing about it. Very disappointed!
We did Liberty of the Seas this past Christmas and had a junior suite. Our neighbors smoked weed on the balcony all day and evening. Even the hallway smelled. I am very allergic so I had to never go out there plus many times I could not even be in my room. I hardly used it and sad to say, nobody at guest services cared or did a thing about it. I’m now afraid to go on royal ships again. They acted like I was a Karen or I was the issue. I just didn’t want to have a medical emergency and I never expected this on a cruise.
Ive been on vacation with my wife and have seen women wearing bikinis that hide NOTHING. Its crazy to me they have no quams straight bending over in front of us and im looking at my wife who doesnt appreciate the sight either. Yet the most modest man trying to be decent in his tanning is automatically a weirdo. Thats so crazy to me.
Yes, there is a definite double standard. If women show every inch of their body on the pool deck, they are being "sexy and confident". If men do it, they are creepy and aggressive.
Hi kiddo ! ;-) I am half way through your great video and you asked whether or not we would like someone who knew us well, our likes, dislikes, et al to plan a 3 week trip without telling us where we are headed ? The answer is - YES ! How fun ! Kudo's to the German women who is doing this for her family and how nice that you were destined to meet them ! Cheers !
Not to defend the shorts lady, but men have dangley parts that have a tendency to peek out in baggy shorts. Kids in the casino should have been asked to leave by crew. Pickle ball guy was a jerk and probably acts like that everywhere. The couple sitting for the parade may have been unable to stand. My husband and I both use scooters and no matter what venue we were in on our last cruise (even in the handicapped seating area) some jerk would come and stand in front of us. I have had this happen at concerts, sporting events, SRO comedy shows, even at Disney for the parade. Its very rude and as you said entitled. If there are people seated and you must get in front of them, then have the courtesy to sit down and not block their view.
As far as sitting, if you aren’t sitting in the front people will likely stand in front of you. Sitting people on scooters or otherwise don’t automatically start the first row, they need to get to the first row.
I heard a joke that every couple has that one planner and one go-with-the-flow. I'm the planner. My husband asks me a couple of times what ship and where we are going, but never remembers. I ask for input about excursions, but everybody is like "whatever" so I just book whatever looks fun and is within budget. I don't think I'd like to be surprised about where we are going and what we are doing, as I'd like to plan what to wear and have on hand.
I would appreciate my hubby going outside to use an aerosol product... and he would probably go in his underwear LOL. But in general, yeah, put on pants first
Absolutely on the planning side. I'm the one that books all the holidays, trips etc. Just for once, I would love for someone to take it out of my hands
Planning a trip as a surprise....i do most of the planning. We have discussions about it. However, my husband just doesn't seem to absorb the info and is still very surprised. Just this morning I mentioned we'd get breakfast on our flight. He was shocked. We've discussed it at least twice already. Next time I'll just say we don't get a meal.
And this is why I have no hesitation calling audacious people out, they act out because they think people won't have the confrontation skills to respond in an equally sassy way, wait til they come across Gen Zers that don't take sass from anyone 😂
I do the all the plans for our cruises and I talk about it non stop from the time I book. I send TH-cam videos to the group, talk, talk, talk and it never fails - as we are in route to the port my husband will ask what ports we are visiting. I laugh and tell him but it’s irritating! I signed up for a membership - I hope you hit the 100 mark.. or I’ll have to call the TH-cam Mayor. IYKYK 😎
I think we were at Coco Cay on same day! Would enjoy meeting you! We were on Harmony OTS, August 8? Pickleball guy…wrong! Go to end of line, so many crazy self unaware cruisers, bikini clad, don’t get me started on elevator etiquette! I saw several guys pull up shorts to sunbath, no problem. We enjoy your videos. Funny and entertaining. Next cruise a year away- Celebrity Rome to Ravenna.
When I was on Allure of the Seas last April, I was on the my balcony and for the first time I smelled someone smoking weed. I’ve never experienced that on Royal Caribbean before.
I've bunched my shorts upwards to darken my upper thighs on a cruise ship pool deck as well. Didn't feel like walking all the way to the cabin to change. She was rude and petty. German family= amazing. Pickle ball guy = clueless possibly entitled and parade couple= entitled. Bikini girls in casino= clueless because the adult didn't teach them the social intricacies of acceptable behaviour. Not their fault. Still, brow-raising for sure. Unless it's acceptable now and I'm the clueless one. Could be. I'm old.
I couldn't believe their mom wasn't like, "Girls, what are you doing down here? Let's go over here to talk." and then walk to someplace else to clear up whatever they had to clear up.
OK now I have completed your super great and funny video - and my question to you is: why can't there be more nice, well mannered, easy going, non-attitudinal cruise passengers on cruises these days !?! You kind man, are my cup of tea as are all cruisers who are happy natured and feel blessed to be able TO cruise the high seas.... Cheers to you and to all nice people ! m.
Hi Morgan. Another great video. As a fellow Minnesotan, love the t-shirt. Let’s see, people shouldn’t be smoking on the ship unless it’s a designated area. And for my personal preference I wish they would allow recreational use also, but I know it’s not legal everywhere. I hope you said something to the women who made the nasty comment about your shorts. That was just plain rude. As for the people in the chairs, to bad, move up a spot if you don’t want people standing in front of you. Pickle ball guy is just a miserable selfish jerk. Can’t win with people like that.
I would probably be the planner. My husband and my friend's husband tend to be surprised by our excursions in spite of them being consulted in advance of what we are doing.
Yes, people should not be smoking period. I just came off a RC cruise. Lots of times I went out to my balcony and the smell of people smoking was very bad. I did not experience half of the BS I saw on RC when I went on Disney cruise. Just saying. Maybe that is why DCL is twice as expensive. However, to be fair, overall the RC cruise was very good.
Maybe the pickleball procedure is different at the other guy's home courts. In some places the winners get to stay on the court. Perhaps he figured as the winner he could continue playing with 3 other, new people. If clear rules about just one game aren't posted I could see where he might feel it was still his court. As a new sport on cruise ships the rules are still being worked out. It's possible he viewed you as the rude person insisting he leave the court when he felt he had the right to continue playing.
If I didn’t wanna be around people, I wouldn’t go on a big cruise like this. We all know people are strange and entitled lol. Best place I ever vacationed was Gatlinburg TN. Every person I encountered was so nice. Even the people in Walmart were nice. I was shocked. This was like 15 years ago though
I haven't stopped doing it altogether, it's just that I realised that that section alone ads about an hour to my work flow. I see from the info I get from TH-cam that most people click away when that section starts, so I figured it doesn't have to be a priority in every video. Know what I mean? I'm sorry you miss it and will still do it occasionally. I promise!
If I understand correctly, the scenario is: 14-year olds enter casino, sit quietly for a couple minutes waiting for mom, leave. Nope, that wouldn’t bother me.
RC has a dress code. No swimsuits anywhere with the exception of the pool deck. Even at the buffet, swimsuits are to be covered up. No bare feet except by the pools, either.
Get an oil vape pen, gummies, chocolate, drinks or other products containing THC. You don't need to smoke flower, which bothers EVERYONE around you. I smoke weed, but I don't want to smell it in my room.
A microcosm of American society on your 4 day cruise. I am not surprised anymore about rude behavior. Just like keyboard warriors, people who talk "about you" "behind your back" or "snarky" with full intent for you to hear are the rudest of all. When cruising, I always try to be on my "best" behavior!
I see they listened about that hot walk across the pier and put up sun shades . About time. Public decency is gone . I signed up for membership last time but I’m not getting the perks ? We have done the surprise trips for the kids before.
I just got off the Symphony Royal is going down hill . So many things they are not enforcing . It's turning into Carnival . If you don't have proper cruise etiquette ,stay home you are ruining other people's vacation .
I was on Adventure of the Seas a few weeks ago. There was a guy lounging on one of the sofas in the Champagne Bar wearing only swim trunks. No shirt. Just literally laying there as if it was a poolside lounge chair, staring at his phone. Class is out the door, and RC personnel don't enforce their own rules. It used to be nice going on cruises, but 'Idiocracy' brain-dead people are making it more like strolling the aisles of Wal*Mart. And it doesn't matter how much wealth a person may or may not have. It seems too many people have no respect, don't follow rules, and are too busy trying to push their way around.
Unless I misheard or misunderstood you, in which case I apologize, when I look below your video (where I thought you indicated the 'JOIN' button would be found) it is not there. I have a vague recollection that once upon a time, long long ago, it was there... along with a 'Thanks' button which is still located in that spot, but I am now only able to locate the 'JOIN" button on your channel's Home page (if that is what it is called). Since this is not the 1st video in which you have directed supporters where to find the option, I thought I should let you know about my (perhaps anomalous) experience. I checked several other videos, from you and other creators, and consistently found no 'JOIN' button underneath them. On a completely different note, I enjoyed your video as always, but am disappointed to hear that the degree of courtesy & consideration toward other people seems to be diminishing as dramatically on cruise ships lately, as it is in day to day city life. At least at home I can become irate over deafening music, all night partying, overpowering scents of weed, or excessive noise outside my door, for free.
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Toronto, Canada At least the button is elsewhere, albeit a little less convenient. Thanks for takng time to personally replyy by the way.
Pickleball has some cult-like followers lol😂 Here in Palm Springs, what was an easy game for Seniors has become a cutthroat competition. Sheesh. RE: swimwear for men. I do wear a swim t-shirt and trunk/shorts (Lands End) but I’m 67 and people don’t need to see any more of me! Side note: once the tee becomes wet it’s very clingy, so then I’m pudgy with blue and orange stripes! Guess the defeats the purpose.
Mass market ships are what they are. I was in the suites lounge the other day on Mariner of the seas and some guy was grabbing from the snacks with his bare paws. I just said to myself the word, gross. But purposely loud enough for him to hear it with no regret because he was ridiculous especially when there are 10 sets of tongs right there
14 year olds should not be in the casinos, PERIOD. It shouldn't matter what they have on!
Whoever was in charge of managing the casino should have made those girls leave. Crew isn't very good at approaching people.
@@mmc9828they could have been scared in these days of time you can't say nothing to teenagers

Just my two cents BUT ever since the pandemic people have lost their damn minds and think the world revolves around them. we have been on 35 cruises and in the last two years, the behavior we see from passengers is quite appalling and we only cruise on Celebrity.

So you haven’t experienced this type of behavior on Celebrity? I’m looking for a more strict cruise line.
I’ve seen people come into the buffet is just a robe. Sometimes the crew stopped them and sometimes they don’t. Idk why people think it’s ok to go to a dining venue is just a bath robe. You would r do that on land, soooo…..I don’t get it.
i have never been this miserable on a cruise. but i also don't worry about what others are doing this hard.

I have a 'no aerosol' rule in my house.
The balcony makes sense to me.
😂
Sir, I have learned that since the lock down, people have lost all sense of compassion, empathy, and simply, just suck. Sad.
No bikinis should not be allowed in the casino no matter what age
lol ok Karen or Ken
Simply practicing good manners and being respectful.
People smoking pot On Their Balcony is not OK. No smoking on balconies is a fire hazard which is why it isn't permitted.
ok Prudence
Who cares as long as they're responsible
You think pot is the only fire hazard? They should ban lighters if fires are a concern.
@@Shameka614 I see your point, but smoking has been banned on balconies on almost every cruise line whether we like it or not. That's why they have smoking areas.
And unfortunately, not everyone is as responsible as you are.

No 14 year Olds should be hanging around the casino. Now pickle ball, your game is over take a break and let others play. Thanks Morgan 👍
Sadly until Royal gets a handle on the smoking on the balcony situation- I am switching to Celebrity and/or Silversea.
That’s what I’m thinking too 🤔😉👍🏽
Sorry to say that I just got off a Celebrity cruise and every night starting around 5:00 the whole hallway (and into our cabin) smelled like pot.

You are saying these things on a Royal ship? Impossible. According to some, Royal is perfect! No bad things ever happen on Royal.
For me the same people are on all cruise lines except the very expensive ones. The myth that royal is the best is just that, a myth.

As far as sitting, if you aren’t sitting in the front people will likely stand in front of you. Sitting people on scooters or otherwise don’t automatically start the first row, they need to get to the first row.
I heard a joke that every couple has that one planner and one go-with-the-flow. I'm the planner. My husband asks me a couple of times what ship and where we are going, but never remembers. I ask for input about excursions, but everybody is like "whatever" so I just book whatever looks fun and is within budget. I don't think I'd like to be surprised about where we are going and what we are doing, as I'd like to plan what to wear and have on hand.
I would appreciate my hubby going outside to use an aerosol product... and he would probably go in his underwear LOL. But in general, yeah, put on pants first
Smoking pot on the balcony? They slipped through the gates. Carnival must have been booked
Nobody says anything when you wear speedos on an Atlantis cruise. Well, maybe they’ll say you’re overdressed 🤣
or nothing at all.
Atlantis is a different ball park. 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely on the planning side.
I'm the one that books all the holidays, trips etc.
Just for once, I would love for someone to take it out of my hands
Planning a trip as a surprise....i do most of the planning. We have discussions about it. However, my husband just doesn't seem to absorb the info and is still very surprised. Just this morning I mentioned we'd get breakfast on our flight. He was shocked. We've discussed it at least twice already. Next time I'll just say we don't get a meal.
😁👍🏽 I don’t blame you!
Haha. Every trip is a surprise trip for him!
And this is why I have no hesitation calling audacious people out, they act out because they think people won't have the confrontation skills to respond in an equally sassy way, wait til they come across Gen Zers that don't take sass from anyone 😂
I'm going on that cruise in Dec and I will be piss if my neighbor smoking !
Did you report them ? ?
I do the all the plans for our cruises and I talk about it non stop from the time I book. I send TH-cam videos to the group, talk, talk, talk and it never fails - as we are in route to the port my husband will ask what ports we are visiting. I laugh and tell him but it’s irritating!
I signed up for a membership - I hope you hit the 100 mark.. or I’ll have to call the TH-cam Mayor. IYKYK 😎
The TH-cam Mayor. Riiiiight :-P. Thanks so much for your help! I'm getting close.
We love your shirt!
The only place bikinis should be worn is in the pool, then a cover up or better yet like a summer dress or shorts and a tshirt.
I agree!
I think we were at Coco Cay on same day! Would enjoy meeting you! We were on Harmony OTS, August 8? Pickleball guy…wrong! Go to end of line, so many crazy self unaware cruisers, bikini clad, don’t get me started on elevator etiquette! I saw several guys pull up shorts to sunbath, no problem. We enjoy your videos. Funny and entertaining. Next cruise a year away- Celebrity Rome to Ravenna.
Yep, that sounds like the same cruise!
Solidarity from a fellow "shorts puller-upper" to lay in the sun 👍😂
Shorts puller-uppers: unite!
Absolutely agree about swimwear - the female fashion seems to be a competition to see who can expose the most skin!
When I was on Allure of the Seas last April, I was on the my balcony and for the first time I smelled someone smoking weed. I’ve never experienced that on Royal Caribbean before.
I've bunched my shorts upwards to darken my upper thighs on a cruise ship pool deck as well. Didn't feel like walking all the way to the cabin to change. She was rude and petty. German family= amazing. Pickle ball guy = clueless possibly entitled and parade couple= entitled. Bikini girls in casino= clueless because the adult didn't teach them the social intricacies of acceptable behaviour. Not their fault. Still, brow-raising for sure. Unless it's acceptable now and I'm the clueless one. Could be. I'm old.
I couldn't believe their mom wasn't like, "Girls, what are you doing down here? Let's go over here to talk." and then walk to someplace else to clear up whatever they had to clear up.
OK now I have completed your super great and funny video - and my question to you is: why can't there be more nice, well mannered, easy going, non-attitudinal cruise passengers on cruises these days !?! You kind man, are my cup of tea as are all cruisers who are happy natured and feel blessed to be able TO cruise the high seas.... Cheers to you and to all nice people ! m.
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching my video!
Surprise trip?
That's what happens when I lead trips with my lady friends.
Because they know I'll have awesome plans!
Hi Morgan. Another great video. As a fellow Minnesotan, love the t-shirt. Let’s see, people shouldn’t be smoking on the ship unless it’s a designated area. And for my personal preference I wish they would allow recreational use also, but I know it’s not legal everywhere. I hope you said something to the women who made the nasty comment about your shorts. That was just plain rude. As for the people in the chairs, to bad, move up a spot if you don’t want people standing in front of you. Pickle ball guy is just a miserable selfish jerk. Can’t win with people like that.
I would probably be the planner. My husband and my friend's husband tend to be surprised by our excursions in spite of them being consulted in advance of what we are doing.
Yes, people should not be smoking period. I just came off a RC cruise. Lots of times I went out to my balcony and the smell of people smoking was very bad. I did not experience half of the BS I saw on RC when I went on Disney cruise. Just saying. Maybe that is why DCL is twice as expensive. However, to be fair, overall the RC cruise was very good.
Maybe the pickleball procedure is different at the other guy's home courts. In some places the winners get to stay on the court. Perhaps he figured as the winner he could continue playing with 3 other, new people. If clear rules about just one game aren't posted I could see where he might feel it was still his court. As a new sport on cruise ships the rules are still being worked out. It's possible he viewed you as the rude person insisting he leave the court when he felt he had the right to continue playing.
Some people have no respect. Sad
Well, well, well!! Look what we have here! Mmmmhmmmm! 😂😂😂
Maybe the guy fell asleep and someone played a joke on him shaving his chest and he had a good sense of humor and just went with it.
😂❤ you're the best.
Sounds pretty Carnival! 😂😂
If I didn’t wanna be around people, I wouldn’t go on a big cruise like this. We all know people are strange and entitled lol. Best place I ever vacationed was Gatlinburg TN. Every person I encountered was so nice. Even the people in Walmart were nice. I was shocked. This was like 15 years ago though
I love Bitch Pudding :-P
It seems like more and more people feel entitled....if you know what I mean...they were all wrong!!!
I agree, unfortunately.
Hopefully by next year when I finally sail on Utopia there will be less bad behavior!
OMG you are so funny. I love your videos.
I'm way too controlling to allow someone else to plan my vacations for me.
NO.
Answer to the thumbnail.
Also no robes outside of your cabin.
A rude pickleball player?????! Well ,color me shocked!
😂😂😂😂😂
I miss you Sunday Sofa Time where you read comments.
I haven't stopped doing it altogether, it's just that I realised that that section alone ads about an hour to my work flow. I see from the info I get from TH-cam that most people click away when that section starts, so I figured it doesn't have to be a priority in every video. Know what I mean? I'm sorry you miss it and will still do it occasionally. I promise!
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Totally get it. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I absolutely would allow my wife to plan a surprise trip!!!!
If I understand correctly, the scenario is: 14-year olds enter casino, sit quietly for a couple minutes waiting for mom, leave. Nope, that wouldn’t bother me.
Do you not realize how many sick people are lurking around?!?
Wh did they enter the casino to begin with, as it is not for children!
RC has a dress code. No swimsuits anywhere with the exception of the pool deck. Even at the buffet, swimsuits are to be covered up. No bare feet except by the pools, either.
We're you on the main inaugural cruise? We were on that cruise.
Lucky! We went a few weeks later.
Were
People do weird things when they are on holiday unfortunately
The obnoxious behavior is what gave me a bad experience on RC. I’m trying VV next
I'm curious how you will find VV. It is adults only, but that doesn't mean there isn't obnoxious adults ;-)
Get an oil vape pen, gummies, chocolate, drinks or other products containing THC. You don't need to smoke flower, which bothers EVERYONE around you. I smoke weed, but I don't want to smell it in my room.
Pickle ball dude sounds like the a-hole who played on my last cruise. He was at my table in the MDR & that sounds like something he would do.
Is Utopia supposed to be the party ship? Is this ship hosting. Different class of people like other RCCL ships?
A microcosm of American society on your 4 day cruise. I am not surprised anymore about rude behavior. Just like keyboard warriors, people who talk "about you" "behind your back" or "snarky" with full intent for you to hear are the rudest of all. When cruising, I always try to be on my "best" behavior!
I wish more people thought like you do!
Sounds like the Pickle Baller was eating crow and that’s humbling. A Baller does not always a Player make ☝🏼
I see they listened about that hot walk across the pier and put up sun shades . About time. Public decency is gone . I signed up for membership last time but I’m not getting the perks ? We have done the surprise trips for the kids before.
Regarding PICKLEBALL, does Royal Caribbean supply paddles and pickleballs to players?
They do! Do you like to play?
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides I LOVE to play! I've become addicted to it starting around May 2024.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
Do ships offer smoking area? Where can you smoke legally?
No. Marijuana is not allowed on any cruise ship anywhere.
I’m one of your hundred
Thank you so much, Brenda!
2024 Dude. Get over it. THEY ARE SMOKING THE MARIJUANA.
Where Marcus? He can plan your next trip😂
I just got off the Symphony Royal is going down hill . So many things they are not enforcing . It's turning into Carnival . If you don't have proper cruise etiquette ,stay home you are ruining other people's vacation .
I was on Adventure of the Seas a few weeks ago. There was a guy lounging on one of the sofas in the Champagne Bar wearing only swim trunks. No shirt. Just literally laying there as if it was a poolside lounge chair, staring at his phone. Class is out the door, and RC personnel don't enforce their own rules. It used to be nice going on cruises, but 'Idiocracy' brain-dead people are making it more like strolling the aisles of Wal*Mart. And it doesn't matter how much wealth a person may or may not have. It seems too many people have no respect, don't follow rules, and are too busy trying to push their way around.
Unless I misheard or misunderstood you, in which case I apologize, when I look below your video (where I thought you indicated the 'JOIN' button would be found) it is not there.
I have a vague recollection that once upon a time, long long ago, it was there... along with a 'Thanks' button which is still located in that spot, but I am now only able to locate the 'JOIN" button on your channel's Home page (if that is what it is called).
Since this is not the 1st video in which you have directed supporters where to find the option, I thought I should let you know about my (perhaps anomalous) experience.
I checked several other videos, from you and other creators, and consistently found no 'JOIN' button underneath them.
On a completely different note, I enjoyed your video as always, but am disappointed to hear that the degree of courtesy & consideration toward other people seems to be diminishing as dramatically on cruise ships lately, as it is in day to day city life.
At least at home I can become irate over deafening music, all night partying, overpowering scents of weed, or excessive noise outside my door, for free.
Sorry that the join button is not appearing for you. It’s possible that the program is not offered where you live. Where do you live, by the way?
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides
Toronto, Canada
At least the button is elsewhere, albeit a little less convenient.
Thanks for takng time to personally replyy by the way.
Of course! You know I (almost) always read all the comments!
Pickleball has some cult-like followers lol😂 Here in Palm Springs, what was an easy game for Seniors has become a cutthroat competition. Sheesh.
RE: swimwear for men. I do wear a swim t-shirt and trunk/shorts (Lands End) but I’m 67 and people don’t need to see any more of me! Side note: once the tee becomes wet it’s very clingy, so then I’m pudgy with blue and orange stripes! Guess the defeats the purpose.
👍 for the duck, duck, grey duck shirt!
How does Royal Caribbean allow drug use on their ships?
Mass market ships are what they are. I was in the suites lounge the other day on Mariner of the seas and some guy was grabbing from the snacks with his bare paws. I just said to myself the word, gross. But purposely loud enough for him to hear it with no regret because he was ridiculous especially when there are 10 sets of tongs right there
Fyi. Never would i sail on Carnival ,did it once k not worth the savings ,id rather wait a few 3xtra months and stick with Norwegian
