I don't understand why the ship didn't turn around, redock, and get him. I mean he yelled, waved his arms, and even broke into a half-hearted trot for a few steps. What more could he have done? Oh yeah, he could have got there on time.
Oh dear - love that he expected the ship to come back after shouting STOP lots of times! That's why I always give myself lots of time to get back to the ship!
Yes, obviously the problem was that he didn't shout loud enough. If the captain had heard him then obviously he would have turned the ship round and gone back for him...
@@casacambio8382 | No. Cruise ships are not buses, trolleys, and subway trains where it can suddenly stop for the late passenger. Once the ship leaves the dock, the ship has sailed...
I'm guessing for his cruise review he didn't rate them well. And because they didn't stop when he demanded they stop. The world does not owe you a thing.
Usually they PAY their own way to the next port. Cruise Ship Captains give Passengers plenty of leeway in returning to the ship. They advise passengers to get back at least an hour BEFORE departure time. However, if there are people missing when it comes time to leave, they usually give them an extra 30 minutes or so, never more than that - why? They have to get to the next Port on time, and if they are running late, they have to burn more fuel to go faster. Cruise Ship fuel is expensive
I got off my cruise at port, hopped on a bus and went a few hours away, then missed my bus back to the ship. Lucky I found another bus driver nice enough to take me. I gave him $50 for his trouble! Saved me from a total disaster trying to fly ahead to catch the ship!
I've done 5 cruises in my life ( #6 on may 9) and always go with same group. One guy religiously wears his watch and he's pretty much the timekeeper lol Ok guys 3:00 we have one hour to go, let go
Very smart. Really what excuse is there for being that late? They tell you to be back 30 Min before leaving, they blow the horn for warning, a sign is at the gangway... Really?? Guess some people think they are too important for rules?
I worked for Disney in Galveston and people would call just before sailing time and say they were stuck in Houston rush hour traffic wanting the ship to wait for them. They would, of course, not make the cruise.
So ime standing in this bar thinkin..the ship sails at 1pm..oh fuck it..Ile have a few more beers..no way will the ship sails without me..ime to important..Ile take a stroll to the dock about 1.30...they will wait
From a Travel Agent, If you book any excursion with the cruise line, they must wait for you. If you do anything on your own, the ship can and will leave you behind. You must then find transportation to the next port and rejoin the ship. P.S. waving your arms at the cruise ship does nothing but make for good videos.
It's funny that he's yelling stop even though the crew steering is inside, on the front of the ship. He's on the outside... at the back... on the dock.
For anyone who is confused as to why the giant ship full of 4,000 other people who somehow managed to get there on time, didn't go back...when is the last time you were late for a flight that had already taken off, and the pilot saw you screaming and cursing, and he turned around, landed, they opened up the door, and waited patiently for you to board even though it was 100% your fault for being late....NEVER! The answer is never.
I went sailing in Nassau and the wind went away so it took forever to get back. Luckily I booked my excursion through the cruise line (RCCL in my case) so they held the ship for us. I wish I had time to stamp my passport in Nassau, but other than that I was fine.
They also take clocks out of all businesses because they think everyone has the time on the phone nobody needs a clock. I still wear a watch and have done so for the past 15 years.
Yanantin The trouble with smart phones and other devices is that they can change from 'ship time' to 'local time' automatically when you dock.You then run the serious risk of being very late......or very early back if you don't notice.
A guy named Steve, Cruise Director on the Carnival Dream in May of 2012, said in a Q & A that one couple, on a past cruise he directed, out of 4 of the ports on the cruise, they were late getting back and missed three.
Same with either the Carnival Freedom or Splendor, the Cruise Director “John “ continued to inform the passengers of a couple, late in returning at 2 ports, their 3rd time, the ship left without them. The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few, thank you Spock
Saw that video!! They should have not been allowed to get off the ship after the second time. If they didn’t learn how to read time then they aren’t responsible enough to be expected to get back on time. So... or better yet...leave port on time and maybe they will learn to read time.
The ship is that far away from the pier and he thinks it's going to stop and come back for him just because he waves and yells stop? Are people really that stupid? Wait, that was a stupid question. They ARE really that stupid.
Its the reason I take Cruise trips on islands because if the bus is late they will wait but if you book your self with locals you are out of luck. I think once you miss a ship you learn a life lesson, doesn't matter who the heck you are, it's not turning back for you & learn to be on time. I have done 19 cruises never missed a ship yet.
Yeah right, they are going to stop, pay another docking fee, and disrupt the other 4 thousand people's vacation because you thought they'd never leave without. Looks like you are not as important as you think.
Im always curious what happens when they are left behind? Their passport is probably in the safe in their room along with their luggage so what help do they get?
From what I have read, security will open the cabin and search for the passport. It will then be handed to the cruise line's representative in the port just prior to departure. It is then up to the passenger to find a way to the next destination of the ship in time.
James Medlin ... Cruise ships pay docking fees just as planes pay landing fees. The more popular ports have fairly tight schedules, even if returning for a passenger that cannot read a watch was a possibility the costs would be highly prohibitive. Life lessons cost money, time, effort, energy, etc - I hope he learns something positive from this situation. The costs he caused himself to incur would be substantial. He has only himself to blame.
If you're pier running when the ship is that far away from the dock, you aren't just late...you're FUCKING late. I'll bet that guy was at least an hour past the "on board by" time.
He was late, so he missed the boat. BUT, nobody deserves to be trapped in the BAHAMAS! Mean nasty people everywhere. I refuse to go to Bahamas ever again. Done it twice and i’m finished. I’d rather go to Jersey lol
Anyone who inconveniences thousands of others because they are too self important deserves to pay thousands of extra dollars and be surrounded by other inconsiderate obnoxious people.
What a goofball! He could've synced his watch to ship time so he'll know when to board 30 minutes to an hour before departure! Good thing I'm going to Nassau just to windowshop (I've practically did all the excursions there, thank you) and return to the my ship (the Disney Dream) at lunchtime. If I have time until the production show or dinner, I'd watch the pier runners! Goofballs...
They know that the folks on the Norwegian Sky don't play that. Mickey might allow it from time to time but if Norwegian sets a time to be back, than you best get your but off that scenic trail and be back on the boat "30-90 mins" before departure. Got a schedule to keep k. Now he has to walk "ALL THE WAY BACK" and see if someone can book him a room at The Atlantis. Cant believe he didnt read up on the does and don'ts when taking a cruise. Especially when traveling on the Sky.
What happened to Him ? did he catch up ? or follow to the next port ! i think it would be possible to get him on a small boat and pass him to the cruise ! who knows what was his reason, it could happen to any of you, once a woman was robbed in Italy, and made it bad to the ship but some other might not, i would like to know what happened to him in the end ?
He probably was having an anxiety attack and didnt know what to do, ive been on cruises before and this never has happened to me (thank god) but i would be doing the same thing too, and some ships will actually turn around and go back.
@thefirechaser24 You have to make travel arrangements to meet the ship at the next port. Or the following port. Either way the ship will hold onto your luggage
I am curious - Has a cruise Liner EVER gone back to the dock to pick someone up???? I'm guessing all the screaming and waving is just a waste of effort.
I wrote this before and I'll write it again. Always keep a waterproof watch that is set to the SHIP TIME and not the local time. I am always back on board at least a 1/2 to 1 hour before I have to. Once a ship as been cleared and is sailing, it's not like a car and just reverse. There is too much port paperwork to simply go back. Be responsible and get your ass back to the ship or be like the people in the above video.
That pivotal moment in life where you finally realize the world doesn't revolve around you.
I don't understand why the ship didn't turn around, redock, and get him. I mean he yelled, waved his arms, and even broke into a half-hearted trot for a few steps. What more could he have done?
Oh yeah, he could have got there on time.
Because He Yelled "Hey F*ck A**" !
Gotten there on time?
This is the rules, since the ship dock off the ship cannot come back to dock otherwise shuold extra pay to harbour so expensive
He could have tried swimming......
Well, he did abandon that bag of cheap souvenir shot glasses, t-shirts, and refrigerator magnets.
Stop!! Everybody put your vacation on hold for me because I can't get back to the ship on time after being told countless times!
Legend goes that he's still yelling on that pier.
Not sure what goes on in people's minds that they think arm waving and shouting stop will change anything. Always a laugh though.
Oh dear - love that he expected the ship to come back after shouting STOP lots of times! That's why I always give myself lots of time to get back to the ship!
"Hey, stop." That's just pure gold! :)
Yes, obviously the problem was that he didn't shout loud enough. If the captain had heard him then obviously he would have turned the ship round and gone back for him...

Too funny how the dopes above took you serious!!!
@@sarge6870 I would not have thought it possible that anyone would take me seriously !
To ALL Pier-runners ... when you were young your Mom probably said you were special. Your Mom isn't the Captain. Be early or stay home!
I'm guessing for his cruise review he didn't rate them well. And because they didn't stop when he demanded they stop. The world does not owe you a thing.
...and probably sued for a FULL refund!
Remember when your mommy said you were special?
This is when you find out that you're NOT.
im surprised he could still be heard at the distance, especially on a microphone
Yes I thought about the same thing.
STOP!!!! Just slam on the brakes and let me get on. WAIT!!
Pro tip: be on time.
I'm only 12 but i know you need to get back on the ship 30 mins - 1 hour before departure. No ship came just "turn" back around for you.

korian73 most cruise ships have a pilot boat in SOME locals....cost.... $450.00 to get a ride out to ship....charged to room....PER PERSON!
That is why this continues to happen.
EVERY ship should leave On Schedule. No leeway. No excuses. Soon cure the Disease.
They also depend on stuff like tides and possibly the place on the pier is needed for the next cruise ship.
Rule number 1) get back to the ship on time.
Rule number 2) get back to the ship on time.
Rule number 3) ..............and so on ................
Rule number 2) see Rule number 1.
Big Dave
So very right.
LOL...kinda like Wash...Rinse...Repeat...
Start swimming you might catch up

lmfao!!!
in the words of Nelson from the simpsons
haha
C815richard lol...I laugh at this every time I see it
same here I can't stop laughing every time I see it
He forgot to say "Do you know who I am!!!"
ronnie pickering
I love watching this stuff. When he finally catches up with the ship they should charge him a late fee.
0:29 Did he shout, "HEY FUCKFACE"? I wonder why that didn't get a 77,000 ton ship to stop?
He said "WAIT FOR MEEE" his accent made it sound different
This is a Kodak moment that I would not want. 5:00 oclock means 5:00
So ime standing in this bar thinkin..the ship sails at 1pm..oh fuck it..Ile have a few more beers..no way will the ship sails without me..ime to important..Ile take a stroll to the dock about 1.30...they will wait
Never forget to take Your passport, Your mobile, Your credit card and Your money with You when you leave the ship!
100 % avoidable
Don't these ships have the "leave no man behind" policy? Come on now, everyone knows that the world revolves around those people who are always late.

Taxi ! Hurry Up ! Follow that Ship !!!
These are inconsiderate people who think nothing of being late. Leave their ass!!
I think the funnier part of the whole video is all the people laughing that are ON the ship!
i hope so, good thinking
I can't believe they would not stop for me and return to port.
Ships shouldn’t wait more than 15 minutes after departure time! It’s MY vacation time these inconsiderates are wasting!
I was on the sky 2 times and at least 12 other cruises and there are always people who can not make it back to the ship on time
tuff shit for them
I went sailing in Nassau and the wind went away so it took forever to get back. Luckily I booked my excursion through the cruise line (RCCL in my case) so they held the ship for us. I wish I had time to stamp my passport in Nassau, but other than that I was fine.
I don’t know what’s worse, missing the ship or having a camera that can’t zoom and record audio at the same time.
Ship ain’t gonna wait for the temporally-challenged 😂
Legend has it that he actually lives there and does this as a joke :-)
More than likely a passenger. The docks are a restricted area and you need to show your passenger boarding card for clearance.
The NERVES of this guy! 😂🤣
We ain't stopping cause you wanted to come at your own time.
This happens because people don't wear watches anymore, phones are too distracting lol
They also take clocks out of all businesses because they think everyone has the time on the phone nobody needs a clock. I still wear a watch and have done so for the past 15 years.
And all those smartphones have a timer/alarm function.

I would remain on the Fing ship and enjoy much less crowded amenities.
That is why I carry my money with me and dont leave it in their safe lol
Passport, too.
I would have shouted "Have a nice swim!", or sang the song "it is time to say Good bye!"

Nobody Stopping that should give you a hint "You fucked up".
Yes, because a 80,000 ton ship can just stop when you say stop.
He dropped his bag.
I love a happy ending
*Flailing arms* Can't they see me?
Yes, we can see you.
*Shouting* Can't they hear me?
Yes, we can hear you.

That sucks, but you know what time you have to be back by!!
Oh man that would suck!
They tell you enough times that even a five-year-old could understand don't be late
That would tack more than a hour to stop that big ship and then dock it to just get u

I wonder what was he imagining in between breaths, as he watched the aft end of the ship grow smaller, and smaller... Meanwhile, on the Lido Deck!!
Anyone who inconveniences thousands of others because they are too self important deserves to pay thousands of extra dollars and be surrounded by other inconsiderate obnoxious people.
it would cost a few thousand dollas in fuel to come back for that dude. People are so selfish.
if he wanted to pay the fuel cost out of his own pockets....
Plus all sorts of docking fees, taxes, and paperwork. A cruise ship doesn't just pull up to a dock the way a car pulls up to a curb.
Good bye Karen !!!
The funny thing is, that’s the captain 👩✈️
You can either fly or boat to next port, see if they will allow you to "hook" up with a boat, all at you own expense, OR be smart and be back early

He doesn't even need to sync time. Just use the timer function to set an alarm. So many hours + minutes.
Cruise ships do not wait once the ship is ready to leave it leaves it will not wait for passengers.
Everyone should just have back at him.
Rechtzeitiges Erscheinen sichert gute Plätze.🤭

I feel so bad for this guy. :'(
Same
i don’t
I'm certain the crew knew what was going on. Would you expect the ship to turn around for you?
What happens to passengers that don't reboard? If they stay I guess they would be illegal immigrants?
At least he won't have a bar tab on the sail back =)
@lostindiancamp cell phone clocks often adjust to local time. Using your phone is a bad idea.
Use the timer function.
Oops! Next time buddy! Lol.
anyone else notice USS New York in the background?
Well, you should have been on time.
Feel sorry for this guy? Hell no! The other 1950 passengers made it just because you can't tell time is on you!
Usually they get flown to the next port
