Exactly, ships and ports abide by serious regulations & guidelines. The ship's Captain isn't in charge of everything. The dock & the port are in control of their land. They have to leave when they need to leave & yet they're still patient & wait for a good while. Our ship left two people in Tortola after they called their names over the loud speakers many, many times. Being in port costs money, other ships are booked for your spot, the ship doesn't own that space and they can't do whatever they want. All of the thousands of people on the ship are waiting, too. A few people don't take precedence over laws, schedules and thousands of other people. If you book an excursion- especially if you're tendered because it takes longer, book with the ship. Your tour guides work with the cruise line and they do have priority over random excursions run by who knows who. Every excursion is not created equal. They said their tour people called.... and? Those tour people don't work with the ship so their calls don't change much of anything. As someone who has been on many cruises, to see their plans included going by another boat to two different islands far from the ship AND they need to be back by 3pm? I wouldn't have done it- it was a bad choice imo. If the ship had to leave @ 3pm everyone is told & everyone knows you must be back before then. At least one hour before the ship is booked to leave. It was a risky decision to book that excursion in the first place unless it's just a little 10 min boat ride to both islands & back which I doubt. There are always pier runners. They run because they know there are major consequences for being late.
They Were nOT LEFT BEHIND, THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES AND MISSED THE BOAT... NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.. NO PRIVILEGE FOR ANYONE!!!!!! WHY IS THIS A NEWS!!! IS THIS FAMILY MEMBERS OF SOMEONE AT THE NEWS TV STATION??? FAKE NEWS
Well to be fair, there’s going to be more planes available and operate every few hours so even if you miss a flight, you have the option to hop on the next flight or a different one. A cruise ship would take a day or two and if you miss the disembarkment, you’re sol.
“They followed their rules too rigidly.” Talk about PRIVILEGE, believing the rules shouldn’t apply to you when you are an hour late and thousands of other people are waiting to leave. Why did this even make the news? 😒😒🙄🙄
The cruise ship is on a time span. They cannot accommodate one group of people over the rest of the passengers. Why should they have to delay their voyage for ur private trip.
It is the ships fault. Perhaps you didn’t hear the part about the guide warning the ship of their tardiness or that fact that the coast guard tried to get them aboard while the cruise was still docked. The captain has the discretion to make a policy exception in the face of such extenuating existential circumstances
@@danielmartin7838 It doesnt work that way. that is totally entitled! Why should 3000 people wait for them? If they didnt want to be late , they should have stuck to official tours and areas. not gone all cowboy 7000 miles from home. then act surprised when the cruise line follows the CLEARLY stated policies. Not the cruises , fault. 100% late entitled passengers fault. Does the bus or train wait when your late and in the shower? Should it, just for you only??
@@danielmartin7838There are THOUSANDS of other passengers and crew on that ship. Wait for a few passengers at the expense of everybody else? The ship sails at three... IT SAILS AT THREE.
Don’t be late, that ship has sailed. They will not and should not wait for late passengers. This happens all the time. If every cruise ship waited for every late passenger, none of these companies would be able to maintain schedules, causing backups and chaos in ports all over the world because people won’t accept responsibility for their own actions. No sympathy.
Why are you covering this entitled couple of selfish idiots? Everyone knows that you take a private land tour and it’s late, the ship leaves. If you are late getting back to the ship, it leaves. Do you ask United why they don’t wait for late passengers? These people literally make me sick.
This is all the fault of the passengers. They should not have taken a private tour and should have stuck to cruise ship supported tours. And now crying on television cuz they missed their boat. Why should other people have to wait when they are an hour late? Theie fault completely 100%
Don't go on a cruise if you feel that you are better than the other passengers. They wait for noone, nor should they. I hope their friends are as embarrassed as I would be to know such selfish people.
@@zarnell- that might be true, but the cruise line would have made arrangements for the passengers to get back on the ship ( at the cruise line expense).
The third-party tour company calling the ship to tell them that their tour customers will be arriving late to the ship is like my taxi driver calling my airline to tell them to hold the plane because I'm running late. Utterly ridiculous!
Anyone missing a ship that departs on schedule is responsible for their actions. There are more than a thousand other tourists on that ship that deserve to keep their schedule. This incident and the complaints are an incredible example of people demanding special treatment, rather than just accepting responsibility for their actions. No pitty party for these privileged people.
lol this is cruise ship protocol 101. They tell you explicitly that you have to be back before the departure deadline or you will have to find your own transport to the next port. The fact that these grown children are blaming the cruise line are what is wrong with today’s society. Zero accountability for your own actions.
Exactly! It wasn't the cruise lines' fault! They got a private tour not booked through the cruise company, but they blamed the cruise company who weren't to blame.
@@Pivara-t9wIts a ship. Not a Honda civic. It takes enormous time and effort to do one small motion, let alone, lower and secure a gate to let 3 people aboard.
It is made very clear on a cruise that the ship WILL leave without you if you are late. Being in the hospitality industry means providing a safe comfortable trip with food amenities. It doesn't mean putting the entire rest of the customers on hold to wait for a couple of late people. The customer is not always right. What ridiculous entitled people!
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! She basically said it, she thinks they should have made an exception. EVERYONE thinks they deserve an exception because they are exceptional. I've gone on cruises. You must be there at departure time or every ship will be late cause everyone will have an excuse.
Here's the only set of rules you need to understand lady...if your late..ship go bye bye..i bet they throw a tantrum at the airport too if they miss thier flight
They were late, period. It was their fault. How entitled are they that they think a cruise ship should have made the passengers WHO MADE IT TO THE SHIP ON TIME FOR DEPARTURE wait for them? Nonsense. They had to pay for travel out of their own pocket/ My heart bleeds.
Well, to be fair, it's not the passengers' fault; it's the fault* of the shore excursion company. The passengers had no control over the situation. ___________________ * (If it's anyone's fault at all -- it may not be _anyone's_ fault. The tardiness may just have been the result of an unfortunate situation that was beyond anyone's control.)
@@sergiormusic1221 Is that negligent? Is that an unreasonable thing to do? No. It's not like skydiving, which is inherently dangerous. It's just booking a shore excursion, which is a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to do.
If you go on an excursion organized by the cruise, the ship will wait for you. If you take a local tour on your own, which is much cheaper, the ship will not wait if you are late. Those are the rules. I always try to get back before the crew, which is usually an hour before the passengers have to return.
@@angelamontgomery9007 when I went on a cruise and from what others told me you heve to be back on time or else you get left behind . The cruise has to keep a schedule. If you're late oh well
It's their responsibility to get back to the ship on time, was the captain supposed to hold up everyone else because of their poor decision and privileges 😮
Yes cause 4000 people should be inconvenienced because 6 of them can't tell time. That woman at the end is ridiculous! Cruises are VERY specific in making every passenger aware what will happen if your late. WHY didn't those 6 people tell the travel guide that it was time to cut the tour short and get them back to the dock on TIME. 🥴
why was this a news story? Privledged, Self entitiled people think a cruise ship should wait for their schedule would have been a better title.. What a waste of a news day.
Cruise ships have tight schedules that they follow getting into each port and they also do wait a bit after the specific time all passengers are supposed to be back on board. We waited 20mins for a family to come back from a private excursions. So the boat probably waited a bit but not for an hour 🙄 at the end of the day you are told to be back by a certain time. I don’t understand why this is called news to me it’s just a bunch of people complaining they missed the boat and want people to take pity on them
What about the entertainment of the vast majority that made it on time. If they keep waiting for late passengers where will it end; 1 hr, 5 hrs, a day? Don't be late!
Not sure why this is an “ordeal”. Pretty sure it’s industry standard with cruise ships to be back on board by a certain time or you get left behind. Doesn’t it outline this in pamphlets you get prior to sailing from home port?
Hate to seem unsympathetic to their situation, especially since they had left personal items behind on the ship but I don't think you'd find an airline holding your plane till you caught up!
Actually, I've been on a jet airliner that was on the runway, ready for take off, then returned to the gate to pickup, a late, out of breath passenger. This was on a flight from Indy to Chicago.
@rakialogan3372 Well, it did happen. The guy looked like a businessman. He had a briefcase with him, and they seated him in first class. A lot of people made comments to each other about it at the time. They sure as h**l wouldn't have done that for me.
Been there, done that. Here's the thing. The Navy won't wait for you either. If you miss movement, you have more than a transportation problem. You'll end up seeing the old man.
Stop giving these entitled whiners a platform. EVERY CRUISE YOU ARE WARNED THAT THE SHIP WILL LEAVE YOU IF YOU ARE NOT ON BOARD BEFORE THE DEPARTURE TIME.
I read that the tour guide promised he could get them back within an hour after they voiced their concerns about getting back on time. What an extreme amount of work because they didn't go back on time or a little early. Everyone is warned. It's not everyone else's fault because this group was late.
I worked on a cruise ship for almost 10 years and this happened all the time. What makes them so special to have all these media coverage? Ship will not wait for them, they have an schedule to follow, they will pay an excessive amount if they stay more than the alotted time on port.
Why do these people think they are entitled to delay the other 2-3k people on the ship. Next time DON'T TAKE A PRIVATE EXCURSION. The cruise lines will tell you that. Cruise ships are like airplanes they have a schedule for a reason. How would they have liked sitting around for AN HOUR, or having an hour less in their next port? I've been cruising all my life and when a ship or plane says they are leaving at a specific time.... believe them!
But WAIT… I’ve seen Black passengers who show up late for cruises get mocked when the ship leaves them….and everyone agrees with the ship leaving. (Just so you know, I agree with the ship leaving too) So with that said, why do THESE PEOPLE feel like anyone should be sympathetic towards them? It’s weird that they would even agree to do this news segment. I mean the NERVE. Jeez, ya can’t make this crap up folks.
@@koda3967 Yup. You’re one of the smart ones, aren’t ya? I didn’t invent “Race”. And I don’t benefit or CONTINUE to benefit from “Race”. So I’m reserving the Right to bring it up whenever I want. I love how it triggers you. If most people were triggered about actual Racism, it would be a much greater planet to live on.
Their responsibility to be there when the ship leaves. Not the cruise line's responsibility to hold a ship with thousands of other people because these people are not on time.
@@boyohio1980 when the captain says he’s leaving, he’s leaving. Thinking that the ship should’ve waited for them is so entitled, thoughtless and conceited.
@@angelamontgomery9007I agree been on cruises they tell when to be back or they leave you behind. Not their responsibility to wait for them . The have schedules to follow
They give them plenty of time, the ships even stay a bit longer, the tour guides don’t get to tell the ship to wait that fact that they believed that is amazing, next time make it on time
There is a time limit for a reason lady and no they shouldn’t hold the whole ship because you irresponsibly booked an excursion which took too long and went past their time limit. Got a whole ship full of passengers but want them to wait for 4 people. Comical
There are TH-cam channels devoted to showing people late for the cruise departure. Pretty well know that if you miss the deadline the ship is leaving.😢
Title should have been "6 idiots think massive cruise runs on their schedule". I've been on an NCL cruise and they warn you a lot about the dangers of using private touring companies. These companies pay a lot for their dock space and have a strict schedule they need to follow or they will lose a lot of money.
If you're late, you get left behind. Period. And it's then your own responsibility to make arrangements to catch up with the ship at another port, or get your own self home. This is how it has always worked. This is exactly how it should be.
Why is this newsworthy? And to have it presented in a way that NBC presented is ridiculous! I’m sorry but it seems that the vast majority of us are not buying into this! These late passengers are not the victims of this captain’s on time departure! Let’s call it for what it actually is…. Pure entitlement.
Yeah, I'm sure they'd have the same level of compassion if they had to wait for somebody else. When you go on a cruise, you are warned about this. If you go on a private excursion, the ship does not have to wait for you. However, if the excursion is sponsored by the cruise line then they have make sure you board. Hospitality does not mean bending over backward for people who break the rules. These people are entitled twits.
Not only is this standard practice on cruise ships, but you show up an hour late for your restaurant reservation, your table is gone. That is the hospitality industry, we'd be out of business if we followed her expectations 😂
Yes, they are in the hospitality industry, and they are catering to the thousand plus passengers who got back to the ship on time expecting it to leave as scheduled.

I worked on a cruise ship for almost 10 years and this happened all the time. What makes them so special to have all these media coverage? Ship will not wait for them, they have an schedule to follow, they will pay an excessive amount if they stay more than the alotted time on port.
Exactly 👍
To be on time is to be late, to be early is to be on time.
Why do these people think they are entitled to delay the other 2-3k people on the ship. Next time DON'T TAKE A PRIVATE EXCURSION. The cruise lines will tell you that. Cruise ships are like airplanes they have a schedule for a reason. How would they have liked sitting around for AN HOUR, or having an hour less in their next port? I've been cruising all my life and when a ship or plane says they are leaving at a specific time.... believe them!
But WAIT… I’ve seen Black passengers who show up late for cruises get mocked when the ship leaves them….and everyone agrees with the ship leaving. (Just so you know, I agree with the ship leaving too)
So with that said, why do THESE PEOPLE feel like anyone should be sympathetic towards them?
It’s weird that they would even agree to do this news segment. I mean the NERVE.
Jeez, ya can’t make this crap up folks.
AND your point? Oh, right, you just needed to bring race into the otherwise mostly on-point comments. ☹️🤨
@@koda3967
Yup. You’re one of the smart ones, aren’t ya?
I didn’t invent “Race”. And I don’t benefit or CONTINUE to benefit from “Race”.
So I’m reserving the Right to bring it up whenever I want. I love how it triggers you. If most people were triggered about actual Racism, it would be a much greater planet to live on.
@@koda3967
Sooo, Ya done? Or is there anything else?
How disgustingly entitled.
They really believe that THEY didn't need to follow the rules.
NCL did nothing wrong here. If this lady wanted flexibility and no rules, she should have chartered a private vessel for herself.
Their responsibility to be there when the ship leaves. Not the cruise line's responsibility to hold a ship with thousands of other people because these people are not on time.
wow they told them they would be late re watch the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@boyohio1980 so what, the ship has a schedule to keep and holding it for an hour for 8 passengers is NOT something they can do.
@@annrobinson9526did you miss the part about the coast guard making an effort to get them on board as the boat was STILL DOCKED?
@@boyohio1980 when the captain says he’s leaving, he’s leaving. Thinking that the ship should’ve waited for them is so entitled, thoughtless and conceited.
@@angelamontgomery9007I agree been on cruises they tell when to be back or they leave you behind. Not their responsibility to wait for them . The have schedules to follow
It's all in the document you sign when buying your tickets. "If u late, we no wait."
Cruisers taking private tours run a risk! I’m sorry this happened to them but it’s a big warning to other travelers!
“too rigidly.” Yeah, sure. Okay friend.…
They followed the rules too rigidly???
They give them plenty of time, the ships even stay a bit longer, the tour guides don’t get to tell the ship to wait that fact that they believed that is amazing, next time make it on time
"Rules for thee, but not for me."
There is a time limit for a reason lady and no they shouldn’t hold the whole ship because you irresponsibly booked an excursion which took too long and went past their time limit. Got a whole ship full of passengers but want them to wait for 4 people. Comical
If you’re late, you’re late. Be on time. Why should thousands of others suffer potential delays?
There are TH-cam channels devoted to showing people late for the cruise departure. Pretty well know that if you miss the deadline the ship is leaving.😢
Was on a cruise decades ago. They made it very clear to us the departure times are firm. As they should be for the benefit of the whole group.
Title should have been "6 idiots think massive cruise runs on their schedule". I've been on an NCL cruise and they warn you a lot about the dangers of using private touring companies. These companies pay a lot for their dock space and have a strict schedule they need to follow or they will lose a lot of money.
They have no one to blame but themselves! They knew the time they were supposed to be back on the ship. They were not there. Full stop.
Ya, passenger fault and not the cruise line.
I bet they won’t be late again. Everyone going on a cruise should learn from them.
If you're late, you get left behind. Period. And it's then your own responsibility to make arrangements to catch up with the ship at another port, or get your own self home. This is how it has always worked. This is exactly how it should be.
When my kid slow ate breakfast, I just leave without. I'm the captain!
Why is this newsworthy? And to have it presented in a way that NBC presented is ridiculous! I’m sorry but it seems that the vast majority of us are not buying into this! These late passengers are not the victims of this captain’s on time departure! Let’s call it for what it actually is…. Pure entitlement.
They sound very entitled. Everybody else on the ship is supposed to wait for them?? In what world?
Yeah, I'm sure they'd have the same level of compassion if they had to wait for somebody else. When you go on a cruise, you are warned about this. If you go on a private excursion, the ship does not have to wait for you. However, if the excursion is sponsored by the cruise line then they have make sure you board. Hospitality does not mean bending over backward for people who break the rules. These people are entitled twits.
Not only is this standard practice on cruise ships, but you show up an hour late for your restaurant reservation, your table is gone. That is the hospitality industry, we'd be out of business if we followed her expectations 😂
They were on a private tour not booked by the cruise line, how about taking accountability for yourself.
Yeah, the whole ship isn’t gonna wait for you, Karen!
If your late ,, your late… dont feel sorry for those entitled adults.
Been on many cruises. It’s your fault if you don’t make it back on time.
This NBC is as good as used toilet paper.
Yes, they are in the hospitality industry, and they are catering to the thousand plus passengers who got back to the ship on time expecting it to leave as scheduled.
