No but christmas will be almost a week later for us. We live up in the north of Quebec and between almost no shop here and the post strike, will wait when we’ll be in Quebec City to celebrate with my daughter and grand children
Tony...with you 100%. Anyone who isn't grateful to be in a position to cruise needs to reexamine their expectations. Nothing irritates me more than seeing someone show disrespect toward the crew. "Please" and "thank you" should be the bare minimum. From what I've seen, the crew works hard to ensure you have a great vacation. I'm always amazed by the level of service.
I call BS on "Unruly".. They guy was VIOLENT. Kicked one employee in the face, attacked another and chased him to a closet. Then you can see this guy kicking the door over and over. The guy was also head-butting the door over and over. We don't know what did him in at this point.. He could have done it to himself for all we know.
@@trishkeller8228I’d be interested in knowing what his CO2 levels were. I’ve seen this type of behavior in someone who had hypercapnia. An autopsy will definitely tell the tale. 🤷🏻♀️
Who gets drunk off their ass as soon as you board with wife and small child who is autistic • major issues with that guy • rest in peace and prayers for surviving family
He may have had a brain event, such as a bleed into the frontal lobe, causing sudden personality change. This could also be the cause of death. Until they do the autoosy, and get the drug results back (which could take weeks) we will not know.
I have been a vegetarian for 29 years now and would not have reacted that way, and I’m curious to find out more! I am now headed to your channel to check out the video!
Yo, I'm a 10-year vegetarian and I would NEVER get offended at cattle farmers being seated near me! Just as I don't care if friends or family eat meat when I'm present. To each their own. I choose not to partake in it, but I'm well aware that most of the world still does and that's each person's choice. Also, I love how you pointed out that the complainers "took ownership of the table." That was my immediate thought, as well. 😅
You never met anybody in your life who would have engaging or amusing stories to tell at a dinner table? Maybe one of these days you should take a risk and dine with people you don’t know. You might be pleasantly surprised. Eating by yourself might be a safe bet but it is a very lonely social experience.
The fact the ceo and shareholders will clap each other on the back for earnings...but still don't want the lowest paid staff to get 1 day off month ...😢
I have eaten with people in the dining room who I did not agree with. I would never dream of demanding they get another table. The only time we ever moved was when we were seated at a table and one of the diners couldn't stop coughing. I told them that I had breathing problems and would they excuse us as we moved to another table. They weren't upset and I wasn't upset. Hope you are feeling better Tony. Thanks for the video. Blessings to ALL and to all a good cruise.
We were on the Zuiderdam the week after the event, delayed embarkation for enhanced cleaning. Increased protocols on Lido deck like they would pour the coffee and handle all the utensiles to serve the food. UNTIL about midcruise when they decleared it ok. They really should keep the protocol until the cruise week was over, very confusing - oh now we can get our own rolls.?.?
Yes I’m done my Xmas shopping. I haven’t ever done that higher end cruising but we are thankful for just being on the ship. Just wish people would be more thankful for what they have and STOP complaining about everything. Loved your videos on Norwegian cruise, we are loyal to them and they have treated us well in the past. This was a great video and Happy Holidays to you and your family 🌲
Crew member hours and policies vary a lot based on cruise line, position, seniority, and passenger feedback. We had a favorite server that we would request whenever we cruised--he told us that a certain number of guests mentioning him by name on their comment cards would get him 2 extra hours off on a port day which was a huge deal to him. He also said that more positive reviews would result in things up to promotions and pay increases. There also was a preferred rotation that the servers wanted--which team of servers got it was dependent on a numerical score on their review cards that were turned in on the previous cruise.
Hey Tony, Happy Holidays! By the way, the QM2 that arrived in NYC Dec 21st came in sick as well. We were warned to make sure we all had masks and gloves before going to the pier. There was a complete professional deep cleaning of the ship and pier that day, the ship didn’t depart till around 6pm.
I agree - different levels of have for cruisers. I count my blessings every day whether cruising or not. Good health, good husband of 46 years, good friends and good life! I would bet that they could have watched the Army vs. Navy game in their cabin. Thanks for sharing!
❤ you brother ! Stay safe and well ! Crazy times ! Hope you feel a lot better. Rest as much as you can. Take care and Merry Christmas ! And the very best of the New Year to You, my friend. ❤ 🙏🏻
Love the videos Tony. Glad we got to meet you on the Sun Princess during Dons group cruise. Happy Christmas to you and jenny B and the family. Best Jeff & Sandy Brooklyn NY
We got off Celebrity Apex on Saturday 12/21, but before we disembarked, I came down with the infamous cruise crud. My throat felt like it has razor blades in it for almost 4 days, and even now, I still have no voice, am coughing to the point of sore abdominal muscles, and am very congested (both head and chest). I brought covid tests with us on cruise and tested negative during the cruise and several times since. Just a rotten respiratory infection. Hope you and Jenny B are feeling better and can enjoy Chrismukkah.
There have always been fancy rooms on cruise ships, all the way down to the deep inside cabins with no windows. Casinos have always had ultra fancy suites for vip gamblers, etc.
Generally, food poisoning becomes apparent within 24 hours. I'd be surprised if what knocked you down came from the cruise. If you got sick on Monday, I'd be looking at what was consumed on Sunday for the source of the illness.
Only 1 hour into the cruise? Not really enough time to get smashed with checking in, getting your stateroom setup, etc. The only thing that could have caused him to act like that with no drugs or alcohol is his system, is he was diabetic. I had a prisoner once who was really violent and combative. Turns out the the doctors said that can happen in 1% of diabetics when the blood sugar gets out of whack.Dying in their custody if he was handcuffed and on his stomach after being pepper sprayed, he could have died from positional asphyxiation, which would make the cruise line liable for his death..
I mentioned the same thing about diabetics on a different post. A friend of mine‘s brother had that problem. Would get very violent and belligerent if his blood sugar was off. He was also a very large guy. Ended up going to prison after crashing his car, no doubt because his sugar was screwed up. When the cops arrived, he started swinging. For that reason I think it’s only fair to give him the benefit of the doubt until we see the toxicology.
We're arriving tomorrow in FLL after our fabulous 42 Volendam Legendary Mediterranean cruise. We didn't get sick but my wife got a leg injury from rough seas on day 2. It's better now.
I finished by Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago - the local used bookstore and friends' craft open house (they do ceramics, weaving, and other handcrafts) are my "go to" places.
I cruise solo and always ask for a shared table at the MDR. Go in with an open mind, drop the prejudices and enjoy the meal with some new people. In other words.... be an adult!
Glad that you're feeling better today. Yes, my shopping has been completed. So often, my husband and I book a cruise (Jan. or Feb.) as our joint Christmas present to each other. Sadly, this year we had to actually go shopping. No more cruises for this Diamond Plus past cruiser, until things get more in line. If never, so be it!
Hi Tony. Yes there has been a lot going on. It is definitely a scary and sad incident with that man and his family. Glad you're feeling better, I hope Jenny is feeling better also. The cruise industry is definitely doing very well. Crazy complaints... I'm ready for Christmas. My brother is cooking. So I just have to show up. Shopping is all done. As always thank you for all you do. ❤
There was also an outbreak on The Crown Princess. They did another deep clean prior to my sailing . We weren’t allowed in our cabins on embarkation day to well after 330 pm.I bought medical wipes that kill noro and everything else and went over every surface in my cabin gloved up. It was definitely worth the effort as it helped to keep me well.
The inset video you showed of the family of 4 ‘on holiday’, do you know where that actually is?… it’s called 7 Coloured Earth and is on Mauritius. It’s a natural phenomenon and is absolutely stunning to see. I have been there and loved seeing it
I'm gonna be in the "have not" bucket soon with the prices of cruises now. I only have 1 planned for 2025 which is a Hurricane Milton rescheduled cruise but based on the prices I saw on NCL, RCCL, and Carnival I won't be planning any cruises anytime soon. I can now spend that money for 1 cruise on 2 land vacations.
We were on the Constellations T/A from BCN to TPA… good grief that was an enormous petri dish of some kind of respiratory infection… the coughing was out of control! It was awful!!!
Almost done!!!! Two orders to pickup from Walmart and two coming in next week then done!!!! I always say I’m gonna finish early but I never do lol Y’all have a Merry Christmas❤️🎄❤️🎄
We just did a cruise on the Celebrity Edge out of Sydney and 1500 of the passengers were American. The vast majority just point blank refused to wash their hands at the provided wash stations and then refused hand sanitizer when it was offered at the wash station exit. Any minor outbreak would have quickly turned into a major one. I think education in the US must be well below world standards.
As an American I'm with you! The mask mandates here went overboard, and along with the lockdown being unnecessary, and wreaking havoc on us, people have become rebellious. That's my opinion anyway, but I agree, anything that can help prevent sickness should be standard practice in this era of many sicknesses in the air, and on surfaces. It's just polite to wash your hands often, especially on a cruise. I'm shocked that grocery stores here required masks at one time, but no hand sanitizer at the entrance!? Both should have been mandatory, and in my opinion the hand sanitation should be mandatory even today, and especially now that we have bird flu floating around. I realize they say masks, unless of medical grade, have little effect in preventing contracting a sickness. I wear one when out, but most don't, and they have that right, but people need to wash their hands way more often than they ever have, especially on a cruise ship with 1000's of passengers! 👍✌🗽
As an American, yes the education standards are in the toilet in this country. Too many of us lack common sense and think everything is a conspiracy. It's tiring 😮💨.
I'm American and I hate when people don't wash their hands after using the restroom and cough and sneeze into their hands without washing them. Ugh, so gross, 😢😭😭😭. My parent does that sometimes, 😭.
First, condolences to the man's friends and family. That is just the worst possible outcome for everyone. One note, however... as a former bouncer in Hollywood, steel-toed boots and shorts always merit closer scrutiny outside of the jobsite.
My husband's thoughts as well. People who wear steel-toed boots for work do NOT wear them on a cruise. Also, his rage didn't look like alcohol to me, it looked more like mental illness or drugs. Just my thoughts.
I am 70, work full time and also get SS. I am widowed, and consider myself very fortunate to take whatever vacations I can take. That includes my annual Magic Key to Disneyland and short trips to Southern California. 16:32
Tony, where the ship within a ship became annoying was when the suites started being given space that had originally given to locality members, with no other compensation for the change. Becoming a separate entity does remove some of that annoyance, until you can’t use an elevator because it’s been blocked out for 25-30 minutes for the yacht club. In order to get to another elevator the hotel director literally cleared an over crowded way in front of the elevator bank. At the time I didn’t know that the out of order was being caused, each port, by the special usage.
Food poisoning from a meal is six hours after you ate it so could not have been from any cruise food two days earlier. However there is a nasty stomach bug going around in both GA and Florida.
Came off the carnival pride, on December 15, woke up sick the next morning, with diarrhea and stomach aches. Definitely a virus. I wonder if other people had problems as well. Thank you for posting that information. My doctor told me I did pick up a virus of some sort. It took me a week to recover. Then I have an immune deficiency as well.
Demand for cruising at all time high, record profits and what do companies do? Of course, raise fares. Nickel and dime onboard. Surprising they aren't charging for checked luggage, like airlines.
*_Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? (yes or no)_*
No, we haven’t!
Yes! Wrapped last night too.
Yep
No but christmas will be almost a week later for us. We live up in the north of Quebec and between almost no shop here and the post strike, will wait when we’ll be in Quebec City to celebrate with my daughter and grand children
No

Everyone works hard, no matter if you get something at In N Out or on a cruise ship.
No...cruise staff are so far above any, especially Americans @@aeroAdvocate
I call BS on "Unruly".. They guy was VIOLENT. Kicked one employee in the face, attacked another and chased him to a closet. Then you can see this guy kicking the door over and over.

Agree! There’s actually a lot more detail than is being given here.
Blood test will be interesting
@@trishkeller8228I’d be interested in knowing what his CO2 levels were. I’ve seen this type of behavior in someone who had hypercapnia. An autopsy will definitely tell the tale. 🤷🏻♀️
The Los Angeles County Coroner will definitely be doing a toxicity report
Head butting the door is vicious behavior.
Who gets drunk off their ass as soon as you board with wife and small child who is autistic • major issues with that guy • rest in peace and prayers for surviving family
25 year Correctional experience here. The guy in the first story acted like he had been drugged with K2 or some other psychotropic drug.
My best guess is some sort of cathinone salt, ie: "bath salts" very similar behavior
I agree
He may have had a brain event, such as a bleed into the frontal lobe, causing sudden personality change. This could also be the cause of death. Until they do the autoosy, and get the drug results back (which could take weeks) we will not know.
Tony you are spot on with your comment about the “Haves” and the “Have Nots.” If you are on a cruise ship, you are a HAVE in some capacity.
Thanks brother for the shout out! It truly was a wild story and it sounded like the farmer couple could not have handled it better.
Ya wild story! Keep up the good work!
I have been a vegetarian for 29 years now and would not have reacted that way, and I’m curious to find out more! I am now headed to your channel to check out the video!

@@WileyE Thank ya!
Hello fellow veghead! I’m with you on this, it’s a completely personal choice and I wouldn’t push it on anyone, especially not in a rude way 😅
@@museumghost 🥰 Thank you!
Exactly!
I always get a table by myself. I enjoy my own company at dinner and don't want to deal with other people's drama
You never met anybody in your life who would have engaging or amusing stories to tell at a dinner table? Maybe one of these days you should take a risk and dine with people you don’t know. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Eating by yourself might be a safe bet but it is a very lonely social experience.
Prayers that you and the lovely Jenny B are feeling back to normal very soon, and that your family have a happy and blessed Christmas. 🎄
Love your point about the haves and have nots!
Hope you and Jenny B feel better soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Yes and glad you are better. Merry Christmas to you and the wonderful Jenny B.
The fact the ceo and shareholders will clap each other on the back for earnings...but still don't want the lowest paid staff to get 1 day off month ...😢
Sorry to hear you and Jenny B have been feeling poorly. I agree with you regarding the haves and have nots! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🤶
I'm so glad you're feeling better!!!!

" Different levels of have " Quote of the year Tony B.
Thanks for the video
Thanks Tony
I've gotten norovirus once out of 29 cruises. I wash my hands regularly. It hasn't stopped me from going on more cruises.
Tony, Happy Holidays to You and Your Family..!! ❄️❄️
Enjoy your perspective and content! Rock on! 😊
Merry Christmas to you Professor and The Lovely Jenny B.
Right on the mark, Tony. Its the Haves versus the Have Mores.
Tip your room attendants, servers, porters and staff, generously.
I agree - different levels of have for cruisers. I count my blessings every day whether cruising or not. Good health, good husband of 46 years, good friends and good life! I would bet that they could have watched the Army vs. Navy game in their cabin. Thanks for sharing!

Glad your feeling better take care 🎉

Merry Christmas, Barnette Family!

Hope you're feeling better. Where is the "for your face" intro? My husband and I both enjoy that start to your videos...cracks us up.
If you really need to see a televised event, show, etc.. don’t plan a cruise during it.
spot on point today Tony
Thank you!
There have always been fancy rooms on cruise ships, all the way down to the deep inside cabins with no windows. Casinos have always had ultra fancy suites for vip gamblers, etc.

An hour into the cruise is usually about 5-6 hours after boarding. Plenty of time to get absolutely trashed.
I wrote out the cards and mailed the checks the day after Thanksgiving. Christmas shopping done! All the right size and color!
I'm not quite finished with Christmas shopping yet, but almost.
I'm really glad you're feeling better Tony! Washe, washe washe...
We're arriving tomorrow in FLL after our fabulous 42 Volendam Legendary Mediterranean cruise. We didn't get sick but my wife got a leg injury from rough seas on day 2. It's better now.
I finished by Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago - the local used bookstore and friends' craft open house (they do ceramics, weaving, and other handcrafts) are my "go to" places.
I cruise solo and always ask for a shared table at the MDR. Go in with an open mind, drop the prejudices and enjoy the meal with some new people. In other words.... be an adult!
Sadly there are far too few adults out there
Yes I have. I loved you have and have not comment. We are very blessed to be able to cruise

We were on the Constellations T/A from BCN to TPA… good grief that was an enormous petri dish of some kind of respiratory infection… the coughing was out of control! It was awful!!!
Tony, what about changing some cruising terminology, such as regular cabins becoming steerage?
Almost done!!!! Two orders to pickup from Walmart and two coming in next week then done!!!! I always say I’m gonna finish early but I never do lol Y’all have a Merry Christmas❤️🎄❤️🎄

I got the norovirus in december...like food poisoning, sick for 2 ,stayed in my cabin, then felt sluggish for a few days
