I have to say, the behavior of humans in general has declined a TON in the last few years. Societal norms are no more. I've encountered people who are so impatient that waiting at a simple red light is no longer tolerable for them. Oh, they'll stop...for a second, make sure the coast is clear and then keep driving. Laws are now just suggestions. People just walk into grocery stores, fill a cart and then just walk out of the store without paying....and NO ONE goes after them. The employees are told not to confront stealing customers. I applaud you guys for braving a transatlantic cruise. I can handle about 7 days and then, I'm done. This was a fun video! Thanks for posting.
Exactly! I wanted to also say that straight people don’t walk around with their hands in their partners arse, but then had to rethink 🤔 I take that back! Things have become different lately. Not something I would allow nor do, but I can’t speak for anyone but myself.
I have to agree…..all those things would annoy me too. I try to curtail my inner Karen but as I get older, my tolerance for bullsh*t gets lower and lower.
the zit popping had me gagging and then when you mentioned the zit popping in the hot tub and washing it off in the water...that took my gag reflex to a whole new level....I banned hot tubs since I got in one once and an elderly gent stepped out and his bandaid on his big toe came loose to reveal a knarled ,fungal,black/grey mess of a toenail...but the zit popping????? NEVER AGAIN will I even contemplate the possibilty of bathing in some elses pus!!!!! Thank you for this invaluable information...I would have screamed at those zit poppers in the casino....and even louder in the hot tub...that may have contaminated to water with MRSA....I work in a Hospital Laboratory....I know gros when I see it!!!!...this is how disease spreads!
Hot tubs are giant Petri dishes, literally kept at the perfect temperature to grow a plethora of biological threats from the constant dipping and washing of people into it he human soup. It BLOWS my mind that they’re even allowed, lol.
You have cheered up my rainy Sunday morning. As an elementary teacher I see behaviors from parents that only children would have done a few years ago. I think a "workshop" may be too short for the majority of people these days. There needs to be a series of "Living Your Best Life" classes that people must complete before they are allowed to go outside their homes. It would teach basic manners and behaviors. Lol. Please never stop sharing your observations of life. They are always a highlight of my week.
Thank you for mentioning the pool chairs & people who try to reserve them all day. When I go out in the morning, I see towels and books on chairs. Nasty old me, picks them up and gives them to the pool attendant.
😂 I completely agree with you. We were on a Royal cruise to Alaska and were waiting to get into the dining room on formal night. The huge crowd was added to by a photographer taking pictures on the nearby stairway, but all were pretty much behaving themselves. That is until a woman started pushing herself to the front of the line through the crowd. But wait! She had her hands on a young boy’s shoulders pushing him forward. He said, “Grandma, why are you pushing me?!?” “We’re getting ahead of these people,” was (I am not kidding you.) her reply. Unmitigated GALL. Way to teach your grandson, Grammy!
I had a similar experience with towels. We put our towels and beach bag on our chairs and took a dip. We come back and our belongings are gone. We approach the young couple who was now sitting there and ask them if they saw our things. Then they said to us "well how do YOU like that being treated like that." I didn't have a clue as to what they were saying. Apparently, they had come out, put there personal belongings on the chair a few hours earlier and then went to breakfast. I can only assume it was the pool attendants who removed their things. I said we did not touch your belongings, nor would we ever do such a thing but you are not supposed to reserve chairs for hours. In contrast, we had taken a quick dip. They didn't believe us and got loud like we were criminals. No one from the pool staff intervened. It was very unpleasant.
Nope, you are totally justified. My biggest pet peeve is the way people will just stop walking right in the middle of the walkway to check their phones or talk or whatever. Just stop and block. Another other one I HATE and find beyond annoying is strolling 4 people wide so no one can get around them. And then those are the people who just walk out of a venue and don’t even look to see who’s coming. I am pretty short and have been run into because of just basic inconsideration. Sheesh. Bottom line, people are becoming more boorish as years go by.
That’s one of my pet peeves as well why can’t they just move over to the side? Or groups of people walking side-by-side in an area there’s no way for anybody else to get around them rude!
Oooh noooo, I was totally grossed out with the hot-tub-pimple-popping!! Just gross!!!🤢 I do love your rant videos, probably because I totally agree with you on the topics and your presentation is simply hilarious! Thanks, Morgan!
It is strange. I am a skier, love winter, hate summer, too hot. Yet I am addicted to watching cruise ship videos. I’ll never get on one, no sea legs, but love the whole atmosphere.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that! I sometimes watch unboxings of products I will never buy, or make-up tutorials even though I never wear make-up, so I get it. By the way, this skiing video might interest you: th-cam.com/video/ESd-Chg6IJQ/w-d-xo.html
Ive only been on one cruise, which was in the red sea. We had the best tine. My wife was queuing at the Purser's desk and the woman ahead of her said she wanted compensation for the terrible excursion she had taken the day before. She was trying to claim she was not warned that the sea had rocks in it, and her daughter had stubbed her toe. The staff member did a good job of not laughing, and passed the lady a complaint form. My wife now came up to the counter and expressed her disbelief but the staff member said, they just will try anything. The complaint form may well land in the bin. I really enjoyed your video. It just popped up from nowhere and i will definitely look for more. Best wishes to Marcus 😊
I totally agree on each and every one these annoying, rude, and just plain disrespectful things people do! On a cruise ship or otherwise…. I enjoyed your video!!!😊
Hey Morgan. SOO fun to hear your review of our Trans-Atlantic cruise together on Symphony. It was so great getting to meet you and Marcus while on the trip. I look forward to seeing all of your travel reviews. You were VERY on spot with these comments about our fellow passengers!!
Is it just me, but I am seeing more and more bad behaviors. I just retired from teaching kindergarten, with the last year having several 5 year-old children spitting in my face! Even worse is that parents would laugh when I told them about their child's behavior. God help us, as we have a generation that has awful, and mean spirited behaviors.
I just got back from a short 4-day cruise. It was my first one ever. I had a good time, but going solo I thought I might feel kind of awkward. It was at first, especially at dinner in the main, but the crew made me feel welcomed. After about half a day, I started hanging out on the deck and random people would just start talking to me. Eventually we all started hanging out. I think I only saw two entitled people. Very demanding sorts. I don't know why they would give the crew such an attitude. The crew was great.
Hey, Morgan! I am a very calm person, but I went off on a Karen who told me “Oh, you can go ahead.” When my niece and I were clearly already waiting to be served in line for inches of gold. She would have cut in front of us, but she saw the look on my face. Fortunately, my niece had me by the shoulder, but I gave her a piece of my mind, two or three times! Some people!
I think stating in a neutral tone of voice. "Yes, I think so too (or "that"s nice of you") since I was here first and am ahead of you line" with a nice smile.
I would’ve told,that lady “of course it’ll taste good to me, why else would I have gotten it?” Then pointed at her plate and said, “good luck with whatever that is” 😂
Wow!!!! You were nicer to that mother than I would have been!!! The nerve of some people!!! It seems like some people should not sail for longer than maybe 3 days!!!! 😂
I’d love to hear more on this subject. Like, what happened next. Did she look embarrassed? Was the conversation awkward after that? Almost don’t want to go on a cruise after these stories. 😂
We were in one of two parallel early morning lines to self disembark, at least 200 people in each. A very entitled woman walked to the front where we were and announced she could cut because she had an Uber coming. There was a mutiny, we called for someone from the staff who very professionally sent her to the back of the line. The cheers were deafening!!! I was thrilled to see her still waiting on the curb as our transport van sailed by her. Yes, they are out there!!! Thanks Morgan!
I think people's behavior deteriorates on longer cruises, especially without ports or extra shows. Everyone start out relaxed and excited to be on vacation, but their real and entitled selves starts to unravel as time goes along. I would especially avoid on fun ships after our 14 night Carnival sailing.
100% agree. When I was in the Navy everything was fine when we only had to go out for a few days but when we had to cross the Atlantic & once when we had to be off the coast of Bosnia for 21 days straight people started getting at each other's throats. There were times I had to just lock myself in my office & out in some music just to get away for a little while.
@@chrisharwood5448 yes I agree. We cruised on Carnival years ago, hated it. Tons of drunks and entertainment was basically drinking. I almost never cruised again, we prefer Royal Caribbean. A month ago we needed to get away for a bit, RC was booked up so we took a chance and booked the Celebration for 7 nights. We thought since it was their newest and largest ship we would be fine. We enjoyed the cruise itself but once again decided Carnival isn’t our vibe. We enjoy a drink but that’s not our idea of entertainment but Carnival seems to think it is a entertainment in itself. The food was very hit and miss the entertainment was poor, the crew were unfriendly except for our cabin steward, other passengers acted entitled and rude so basically that just confirms our thought on Carnival it’s not for us.
The very inappropriate behaviors you described are not acceptable in straight people either. We have gotten to the point where these actions need to be addressed so no one thinks it’s ok, it ISN’T!!! Sadly a couple of generations seem to have stopped teaching their children manners and rules of public behavior, cleanliness and common sense and now they are adults and act this way in public. Great example:: Covid, we had people having to be told cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze, wash your hands after the restroom, wash your hands before you eat, stay home when ill and if you need to go to the doctor. I am older and was taught these things as a child. So since these adults seem to have not been taught these things we need to educate them so we are not subjected to their behavior in public.
Let’s keep it real. Rude, Tacky and Uncouth is what describes most people nowadays. Honestly, I haven’t reached that point yet where I think I can handle a cruise that long. I don’t care how great everything is by day 7 I start getting super antsy and ready to go home. Hopefully I’ll get there one day.
💯 Yep! Having been a life long cruiser I have been very saddened by the downturn in both the quality and the attitudes of inconsiderate people now let loose on this type of vacation. I am certainly not a snob but now days something seems to snap in some peoples heads and feral creeps in. Ships are too big and quite frankly I am glad that I gave up when I did. Sadly the cruise companies have gone tacky and the customer is now only a cash cow. The best days of cruising was in the 70's and 80's and it started to go down hill when Carnival expanded it's brand along with a few others. A great shame but that's progress! 😉
Enjoyed this video - thanks. You are undoubtedly nicer and more tolerant of “marginal behavior” than my Husband, Johnny, and me. We’ve actually called out folks for bad behavior. A liveable society is dependent on literaly thousands of “niceties” and courtesies. None of us may assume that we move though public space as if we are alone or unobserved.
Morgan..... too funny! Especially the last one where the guy had a phone charger and a cable hanging out.... "Making a fashion statement proving he had a phone charger". I couldn't stop laughing! I love the stories you tell about your cruises! Now that I've finally gotten a new password and gotten back on Amazon, I'm going to get your book - "Getting Stiches on a Cruise Ship". I have been meaning to do that for awhile now. Can't wait to read it!
That is truly some 'weird' behavior..Especially the chair climber! I had a similar thing when I was on the MSC Meraviglia, guy jumping the seats. Thankfully the gentleman two rows in front of me stopped the guy and told him to 'quit acting like a monkey and walk in the aisles like normal people do'...Quite a few people busted a gut laughing on that one and that guy was sooo embarrassed!! LOL
I've always felt that many just feel entitled...or have a feeling of entitlement. The stories that I could share of some of the things people have said and done to Otis and I out in the middle of no where leave me shaking my head and wondering how long it is going to be before someone hurts you and leaves you miles away from civilization. Just keep on walking Otis! lol Always enjoy your stories! Take good care now...Bruce and Otis
I think your points are very valid. I get very annoyed with people in the buffet. I remember one cruise I was also standing in the line for the buffet, and a person tried sneaking in front of me because there was only one of something left, and THEY wanted it (not on my watch sister), so I gladly heaped it onto my plate.Also, we normally cruise in early November (fewer kids on cruises from the states), but one year we took a cruise out of New York the first week of November, and quickly found out that New Jersey doesn't have school that week. over 700 kids on the ship under the age of 18 and the parents didn't care what they did. One day at the buffet, I watched a kid pull the handle on the soft serve ice cream machine and just watch the ice cream go all over the place while the parents stood there ignoring the child.
Thank you for calling out this kind of behavior! This is why we no longer cruise on anything below luxury or ultra luxury ships. We just can’t stand the growing number of people who don’t understand we all share this planet.People! Have some respect for others and YOURSELF! Fingers crossed that we see less of this kind of behavior in the future.
I've had many random strangers comment on my food choices, especially at the cruise buffet, where your food is on display for everyone. As I eat completely animal-based Carnivore (meats, seafood, eggs, butter, cheese.... no grains, sugars, fruits or vegs) people often feel the need to tell me I'm not eating healthy and I'm going to have a heart attack. Actually, up to 3 years ago, after eating a standard diet my whole life, I was left very unhealthy. Eating this way, I've lost 80 lbs, reversed all my health concerns, including pre-diabetes & high blood pressure, and at 61 years old, feeling better than I have in 40 years. So thanks for your concern and unsolicited advice, I'll just be over here enjoying my plateful of steak & butter.
I feel you. I eat Keto or Ketovore mostly. Last two months we won't discuss. I am so heather eating that way and have the lab work to prove it. But I hear it all the time, that will KILL YOU!!! from my vegetarian friends and family. I love vegetarians, leaves more meat for me :) Just don't comment on someone food choices. Ever.
@t moore It's nice to hear from someone who understands the amazing benefits of eating this way... it can get lonely out here in Carb World 😏 Don't worry about the last 2 months. You know what to do for your best self... make your very next meal lots of delicious fatty meat until you're stuffed. Remember, cravings are like stray cats... if you feed them, they'll keep coming around; ignore them and they'll go away 😊
Oh, ❤ the sass!! I probably would have said something similar. Oh EW, popping the pimples?! 😮 Oh Morgan, you have some real winners on that ship this time 😂 I was laughing so hard when you were talking about the two couples. Hi Markus!
We really enjoy your approach on the people's behavioral aspect of your trips because we spend good part of our time at theme parks and we experience the same things all the time. The line abuse seams to be the most common effect but there are others and it most definitely worth to talk about it. In a very shallow analysis, besides other factors, the pandemic instead of making people more sensible and understandable about the others created an unacceptable collective unconscious aggressive behavior that some folks insist to show in the most diverse ways. We also understand that wanderlust plays a major role on peoples behavior and the sense that "nothing is gonna stop us now" can make a person to drive at 55 miles per hour inside Disney parking lot disregarding completely other people's lives putting in risk our families, with the only purpose of getting ahead of people that respect the rules and that's just the beginning... Thanks for bringing that up in a very nice and appropriate way so everybody can discuss this in a more adult manner. Have a Magic Weekend!
OMG! That was one of the funniest episodes yet...but also kinda sad with the state of some people's lack of common sense or manners. In our opinion you weren't off base AT ALL!
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe that mum made such a rude comment about your dinner! As a dietitian I probably would have made some comment along the lines of “Yes, thanks, I will enjoy my dinner. All foods can be included as part of a healthy diet. I hope you enjoy your dinner too”. 🙄
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides to be honest, I would have wanted to go on a rant about how comments like hers feed into diet culture and how eating is about more than nutrition, that there is a social side to food and that the enjoyment and pleasure derived from eating tasty food are also valuable parts of the eating experience. But I wouldn’t have actually said those parts out loud to a stranger.
There was some sort of respiratory illness going around on our cruise that was spread by coughing. I got it from a guy sitting about ten feet away from me who was coughing at breakfast and I could smell his breath. Normally I wear a mask but had it off because I was eating my breakfast. All throughout the cruise there were people free range coughing in the elevators, in the hallways or any place they were and I seldom saw them cover their mouth. It seems to me that they should think to cover their mouth in the dining room with their cloth napkin but instead there were some who actually were blowing their nose in the cloth napkin after not having thought to cough into it. Apparently the people you ran in forgot what it was like to be around people during covid but it seems to me they should have remembered how to cover their mouth when they're coughing.
Yep I agree with you on all your observations. Don't people teach manners anymore? I know my friends were very impressed when my sons were teens when they would leave the table if they received a phone call on their cell phone. I didn't think about it because that's just common courtesy. I was on a scuba liveaboard (20 guests) with one adult who had to be around 30 years old. He would climb over furniture like that to get to the dining table in the main lounge. Then he proceeded to eat three of the dinner rolls on the table when they only put out one roll for each guest at the table. Totally clueless that he just ate other people's dinner. SMH
It isn't just on cruise ships. The stuff I have seen or heard working in a hospital, sigh. One guy demanded I give him the $2 needed to leave the parking garage since visiting hours were over and we were making him leave. People showed up at midnight to see friends or relatives, WITH KIDS IN TOW! Tired, cranky toddlers. Happened all the time. One great left over from Covid, the 24 hour open visitation ended. Hope it never returns.
It would take all day to share annoying behavior of others. But on cruises it’s still parents who let their kids run wild on the ship thinking well where can they go? And unchaperoned kids in the buffet picking over the food , and ..see I could go on and on. I have my next transatlantic in October. I’m going solo this time . I will find a quiet spot close to a drinking establishment and enjoy the sea. At 62 I just don’t have time to deal with stupid anymore. Oh one more thing. Worst behavior on our last transatlantic was we had a large group of gay couples from Germany traveling together. They were mostly very fun . About a week into the cruise my daughter and I were sitting in the martini bar while a group conversed behind us in German not realizing my daughter understood a good portion of their conversation. They where making rude derogatory comments on people walking by, mostly the Americans. It was so satisfying when as we got up to leave, we turned and commented to them enjoy the rest of your evening in German. Needless to say several of them avoided us for the rest of the voyage.
Your comments are spot on I always see what you see My husband never does. He tells me it’s my vibe. No way. Folks have lost their minds . Keep a list for your next book Keep on cruising!
😂😂 you are cracking me up (and grossing me out)! The pimple-popping. Holy Smokes! I’m going on a cruise next week and I’m getting your book! I want to read on my trip! 😂😂
I don’t know why people think that because they pay for a cabin they believe that every place on the boat is their private space. Staff use to confront people like this but it just starts drama. To keep the peace they will let people do this. They were also desperate for customers. Now that cruises are back, the boats are being over booked like airlines do. I’m hoping that means the crew will crack down on it. They can easily replace the passenger with someone else. And when people start losing their money over their behavior, they start to behave. I like popping pimples too but, I would NEVER do it in public. Except - if I was trying to get my Husband out of the area. Away from the slot machines, out of the pool/hot tub. Just threatening to do that to him has got him moving. Thankfully I have never had to do that in public. I also hope he never calls my bluff - I still can’t do that in public. The husband with his finger in his wife during the family photos. That guy wants a story. He wants to be able to look back at the photos knowing what he did. He may even brag about it to his friends or kids when they are older. He’s still an ass for doing it.
Last cruise I went on I saw a woman crying in the bathroom because her husband had said he wanted a divorce. Still had 3 nights left.... bet that was super awkward.
Great video! It seems to be a “me, me” world anymore. I fear for my grandchildren’s future. It’s bad now, I can’t imagine how it will be in another 30 plus years. 😢
New subbie here I absolutely love your humor & story-telling. And just purchased your book & looking forward to reading it! Take care safe travels & be well 💮🌻💮
One of our favorite things to do is on formal night we sit in the Schnooner Bar and watch the people walk by. We play “Real or Bought” on the women walking by.
Hey Morgan! Very funny video today! Now, I definitely am having second thoughts about going on a cruise! At least on land vacations, I can get away from these knuckleheads. On a ship, you are kind of "stuck" with them for the duration of the cruise. I've also avoided any land buffets (lots of Asian restaurants do buffets now) since this one time, an older schmuck grabbed food (multiple times) with his hands instead of using the tongs!!! 😳
I was on Odyssey of the seas first sailing. “Return to cruising “ . We were at the MDR and every night a family of 4 would change me down and not look away from their phones. WTH!! My gf and use our cruise ship vacations as 7 nights of date night. Luv your videos. Keep up the great work
For me, it’s the saving of seats. For context, on my last cruise, I had been nursing a knee injury. My husband and I spotted two vacant seats, at the aquarium show, about half way down. So, I hobbled down the steps, like little kids have to, using just one leg, for the decent, and sat down. At almost 70, it wasn’t easy for me, with the injury. After about 30 seconds, a guy, maybe, 40, at most, turns to me and says, "Those seats are saved". I point blank told him that I wasn’t moving and as they typically announce at the beginning of shows that saving of seats is prohibited, he should already be aware of that. Some people around me actually clapped, lol. Needless to say, he was steaming mad, but I just didn’t care. When his people finally showed up, he loudly proclaimed that we had taken their seats. They didn’t seem to mind at all and found seats, on their own.
I have just stumbled across your channel for the first time and loved your vid. BTW I did like and subscribe 😊 🐞This was a funny video and I whole heartedly agree with all of it. Thanks for sharing it. I took my first cruise this year (me, my 2 kids, my 3 granddaughters, my mom and my first MIL). While we did see some weird and outrageous stuff from other cruisers, we didn’t experience the things you have in your countdown. We had so much fun, I booked another 2 cruises for later this year.. fall and winter. On Oasis class ships. 🐞You are so darn cute! Love your personality ❤and delivery of your funnies! Looking forward to more!
I am on a cruise right now and in the buffet the other day we had sort of the same situation. Someone decided to have a video call and the sound was way too loud for being in public and it was also not coming in very well so it sounded even worse. My husband said quite loudly "That isn't annoying at all". The person got the hint and got up and left to finish their phone call. And that hasn't been the only person on loud video calls in an inappropriate place.
I can’t believe what you were just saying how unconscious people are in the public eye! You did give me some good chuckle though, and I do appreciate that😂
thanks for making me laugh today! I often think I am oblivious to things that go on around me, so next cruise, I will be paying more attention! I have noticed recently a lot of unattended small children, who are not always well behaved. We were in the windjammer and sat near a family with 3 small children. ages 1 to 5. The parents left them all at the table to go get food. It became apparent to the crew, that there was a need for supervision at this table. They went over and stayed about 10 minutes with the children, while the parents were nowhere to be found. I felt it was not safe to have children making friends with strangers so easily , even though in this situation they were perfectly safe, because maybe a different time may not be so safe.
LOL! We were on the Symphony last summer. Some of the things you were mentioning sounded familiar....unfortunately. Pet peeve is being in the theater and having someone close by giving their commentary while the show is going on...I don't want to hear all about your day while watching the show. I think that is rude. Your videos are so funny...thanks you made my day!
I thought I had crazy stories but I can't top those! BTW my first cruise was on Epic & I loved it so much that I booked a Transatlantic on Epic - but it was my first of 7 COVID-cancelled cruises. I rebooked it for Harmony (cancelled) then Allure. That was also cancelled BUT we were moved to Wonder! So Wonder's first TA was my first TA, just a few weeks after she debuted a year ago. I loved it! I ate in the Solarium Bistro every day. My 2nd TA is this Saturday on NCL Getaway. My 3rd will be in November on Enchantment.
I was in a dog park last week. Me and my boyfriend were the only people there and one other person came in and stood with us. Before the guy showed up, I had asked my boyfriend if he remembered an old viral video (The pug that couldn't run) and he didn't know what I was talking about so I pulled out my phone to show him. The other guy told us that it was rude to play a video in public without using earphones. 🤷♀️ So nobody spoke up about the couple watching Netflix but I end up next to this one weirdo who has an issue with a one minute video in an open space???
Just came off of a RC cruise. Was reluctant to take one because of people’s behavior on our last cruise. Went on a smaller ship to see if it would be better and it seemed to be. Stuck to the MDR as much as possible the food there was fine. Our room was also an ocean view in the belly of the ship it was much quieter. Sat with people from the same floor as us and they were all fantastic people. Was it just a fluke? I don’t know but from now on we are sticking to the small ships with rooms in the belly of the ship.
First, commenting on what someone is eating is incredibly rude. They have no idea what you normally eat & you could've decided to treat yourself & even if it is what you normally eat, it's still not their business. Second, that couple who bought their iPad to dinner probably shouldn't be on a cruise together if they can't go more than an hour without some sort of distraction. I'm a child of the late 70's & 80's so I've always eaten meals in front of the TV however even as a kid I knew not to bring any of my handheld games to a sit down type dinner. If they just had to watch that show they could've gotten something & taken it back to their room. As for things I've seen or heard on two different Carnival cruises I had a situation on one where the people in the balcony cabin next to me were pondering if they could hit the ocean water if they tried to do #1 from the balcony & on another when we were playing a trivia game we had a bunch of drunk guys purposefully walking through being loud & disrupting the game. In both cases they were in their early 20's. These things haven't turned me off if cruising but I will say I'm hesitant to go on a sailing longer than 7 days because when you have that many days at sea you are bound to see a lot of strange stuff.
On the “Netflix in Solarium Bistro” topic, I just got off Ovation of the Seas. While in Sorrentos a couple was watching something on their phone and it was very distracting. Same thing - very rude and inconsiderate of everyone around them. People are just getting worse and worse with their feeling of entitlement.
I would have asked the staff to address the sound level or just asked myself. Phones or iPads for kids with neuro-issues are fine, wear headphones or earbuds. If there is NO issue, then teach some manners. We pay money to dine in the specialty restaurants on the ship and that includes the ambiance, not a table of phones on loud, and a total lack of manners.
On this past New Year’s Eve, my husband and I were on Lido on the Carnival Celebration waiting for the ball to drop. There was this kid (20’s) standing by me and he was wearing a Riddler (Batman) full suit. Couldn’t help but notice him. Midnight came and since he was alone, I said Happy New Year. He looked at me so meanly and said “Who are you? What do you want?” I was appalled that some punk could be so rude . Absolutely ruined my night.
I have to say, the behavior of humans in general has declined a TON in the last few years. Societal norms are no more. I've encountered people who are so impatient that waiting at a simple red light is no longer tolerable for them. Oh, they'll stop...for a second, make sure the coast is clear and then keep driving. Laws are now just suggestions. People just walk into grocery stores, fill a cart and then just walk out of the store without paying....and NO ONE goes after them. The employees are told not to confront stealing customers. I applaud you guys for braving a transatlantic cruise. I can handle about 7 days and then, I'm done. This was a fun video! Thanks for posting.
Exactly! I wanted to also say that straight people don’t walk around with their hands in their partners arse, but then had to rethink 🤔 I take that back! Things have become different lately. Not something I would allow nor do, but I can’t speak for anyone but myself.
@nancywidener2157 And the sad thing is, if anyone calls people out on bad behavior, they become violent!

Thank you for this invaluable information...I would have screamed at those zit poppers in the casino....and even louder in the hot tub...that may have contaminated to water with MRSA....I work in a Hospital Laboratory....I know gros when I see it!!!!...this is how disease spreads!
Hot tubs are giant Petri dishes, literally kept at the perfect temperature to grow a plethora of biological threats from the constant dipping and washing of people into it he human soup. It BLOWS my mind that they’re even allowed, lol.
I am in favor of, instead of the lifeboat drill, have a mandatory cruise etiquette briefing 😅!
Sounds like a great idea to me!
You have cheered up my rainy Sunday morning. As an elementary teacher I see behaviors from parents that only children would have done a few years ago. I think a "workshop" may be too short for the majority of people these days. There needs to be a series of "Living Your Best Life" classes that people must complete before they are allowed to go outside their homes. It would teach basic manners and behaviors. Lol. Please never stop sharing your observations of life. They are always a highlight of my week.
Yes! A mandatory workshop for people in order to get a "hall pass" to go outside and interact with others!
Thank you for mentioning the pool chairs & people who try to reserve them all day. When I go out in the morning, I see towels and books on chairs. Nasty old me, picks them up and gives them to the pool attendant.
😂 I completely agree with you. We were on a Royal cruise to Alaska and were waiting to get into the dining room on formal night. The huge crowd was added to by a photographer taking pictures on the nearby stairway, but all were pretty much behaving themselves. That is until a woman started pushing herself to the front of the line through the crowd. But wait! She had her hands on a young boy’s shoulders pushing him forward. He said, “Grandma, why are you pushing me?!?” “We’re getting ahead of these people,” was (I am not kidding you.) her reply. Unmitigated GALL. Way to teach your grandson, Grammy!
I had a similar experience with towels. We put our towels and beach bag on our chairs and took a dip. We come back and our belongings are gone. We approach the young couple who was now sitting there and ask them if they saw our things. Then they said to us "well how do YOU like that being treated like that." I didn't have a clue as to what they were saying. Apparently, they had come out, put there personal belongings on the chair a few hours earlier and then went to breakfast. I can only assume it was the pool attendants who removed their things. I said we did not touch your belongings, nor would we ever do such a thing but you are not supposed to reserve chairs for hours. In contrast, we had taken a quick dip. They didn't believe us and got loud like we were criminals. No one from the pool staff intervened. It was very unpleasant.
Nope, you are totally justified. My biggest pet peeve is the way people will just stop walking right in the middle of the walkway to check their phones or talk or whatever. Just stop and block. Another other one I HATE and find beyond annoying is strolling 4 people wide so no one can get around them. And then those are the people who just walk out of a venue and don’t even look to see who’s coming. I am pretty short and have been run into because of just basic inconsideration. Sheesh. Bottom line, people are becoming more boorish as years go by.
That’s one of my pet peeves as well why can’t they just move over to the side? Or groups of people walking side-by-side in an area there’s no way for anybody else to get around them rude!
Or take selfies as if nobody is around
@jmr1703 Yup, I see it all the time in the grocery store; some people are oblivious to the fact that other people are there at all.
Oooh noooo, I was totally grossed out with the hot-tub-pimple-popping!! Just gross!!!🤢 I do love your rant videos, probably because I totally agree with you on the topics and your presentation is simply hilarious! Thanks, Morgan!
It is strange. I am a skier, love winter, hate summer, too hot. Yet I am addicted to watching cruise ship videos. I’ll never get on one, no sea legs, but love the whole atmosphere.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that! I sometimes watch unboxings of products I will never buy, or make-up tutorials even though I never wear make-up, so I get it. By the way, this skiing video might interest you: th-cam.com/video/ESd-Chg6IJQ/w-d-xo.html
Ive only been on one cruise, which was in the red sea. We had the best tine. My wife was queuing at the Purser's desk and the woman ahead of her said she wanted compensation for the terrible excursion she had taken the day before. She was trying to claim she was not warned that the sea had rocks in it, and her daughter had stubbed her toe. The staff member did a good job of not laughing, and passed the lady a complaint form. My wife now came up to the counter and expressed her disbelief but the staff member said, they just will try anything. The complaint form may well land in the bin. I really enjoyed your video. It just popped up from nowhere and i will definitely look for more. Best wishes to Marcus 😊
Love that you don't take garbage from entitled people! You be sassy!
I totally agree on each and every one these annoying, rude, and just plain disrespectful things people do! On a cruise ship or otherwise…. I enjoyed your video!!!😊
Hey Morgan. SOO fun to hear your review of our Trans-Atlantic cruise together on Symphony. It was so great getting to meet you and Marcus while on the trip. I look forward to seeing all of your travel reviews. You were VERY on spot with these comments about our fellow passengers!!
Is it just me, but I am seeing more and more bad behaviors. I just retired from teaching kindergarten, with the last year having several 5 year-old children spitting in my face! Even worse is that parents would laugh when I told them about their child's behavior. God help us, as we have a generation that has awful, and mean spirited behaviors.
@lisalister8002 What I think is particularly sad is that anyone who calls these people out on their behavior gets punched.. or worse!
Future MAGA Americans, Their way is the only right way.
I just got back from a short 4-day cruise. It was my first one ever. I had a good time, but going solo I thought I might feel kind of awkward. It was at first, especially at dinner in the main, but the crew made me feel welcomed. After about half a day, I started hanging out on the deck and random people would just start talking to me. Eventually we all started hanging out. I think I only saw two entitled people. Very demanding sorts. I don't know why they would give the crew such an attitude. The crew was great.
Hey, Morgan! I am a very calm person, but I went off on a Karen who told me “Oh, you can go ahead.” When my niece and I were clearly already waiting to be served in line for inches of gold. She would have cut in front of us, but she saw the look on my face. Fortunately, my niece had me by the shoulder, but I gave her a piece of my mind, two or three times! Some people!
Some people indeed!
I think stating in a neutral tone of voice. "Yes, I think so too (or "that"s nice of you") since I was here first and am ahead of you line" with a nice smile.
I would’ve told,that lady “of course it’ll taste good to me, why else would I have gotten it?” Then pointed at her plate and said, “good luck with whatever that is” 😂
Some good ole'-fashioned passive aggression.
Wow!!!! You were nicer to that mother than I would have been!!! The nerve of some people!!! It seems like some people should not sail for longer than maybe 3 days!!!! 😂
Or better, not at all!!
I’d love to hear more on this subject. Like, what happened next. Did she look embarrassed? Was the conversation awkward after that? Almost don’t want to go on a cruise after these stories. 😂
We were in one of two parallel early morning lines to self disembark, at least 200 people in each. A very entitled woman walked to the front where we were and announced she could cut because she had an Uber coming. There was a mutiny, we called for someone from the staff who very professionally sent her to the back of the line. The cheers were deafening!!! I was thrilled to see her still waiting on the curb as our transport van sailed by her. Yes, they are out there!!! Thanks Morgan!
Saw the same on our March cruise. Staff was wonderful.
Most probably, she missed the Uber because you didn't let her cut the line. 😂😂
I think people's behavior deteriorates on longer cruises, especially without ports or extra shows. Everyone start out relaxed and excited to be on vacation, but their real and entitled selves starts to unravel as time goes along. I would especially avoid on fun ships after our 14 night Carnival sailing.
Definitely people get more comfortable and feel like it’s their home on longer cruises 🚢
100% agree. When I was in the Navy everything was fine when we only had to go out for a few days but when we had to cross the Atlantic & once when we had to be off the coast of Bosnia for 21 days straight people started getting at each other's throats. There were times I had to just lock myself in my office & out in some music just to get away for a little while.
Actually, the "party types" have ruined a ton of cruises... *see carnival...
@@chrisharwood5448 yes I agree. We cruised on Carnival years ago, hated it. Tons of drunks and entertainment was basically drinking. I almost never cruised again, we prefer Royal Caribbean. A month ago we needed to get away for a bit, RC was booked up so we took a chance and booked the Celebration for 7 nights. We thought since it was their newest and largest ship we would be fine. We enjoyed the cruise itself but once again decided Carnival isn’t our vibe. We enjoy a drink but that’s not our idea of entertainment but Carnival seems to think it is a entertainment in itself. The food was very hit and miss the entertainment was poor, the crew were unfriendly except for our cabin steward, other passengers acted entitled and rude so basically that just confirms our thought on Carnival it’s not for us.
The very inappropriate behaviors you described are not acceptable in straight people either. We have gotten to the point where these actions need to be addressed so no one thinks it’s ok, it ISN’T!!! Sadly a couple of generations seem to have stopped teaching their children manners and rules of public behavior, cleanliness and common sense and now they are adults and act this way in public. Great example:: Covid, we had people having to be told cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze, wash your hands after the restroom, wash your hands before you eat, stay home when ill and if you need to go to the doctor. I am older and was taught these things as a child. So since these adults seem to have not been taught these things we need to educate them so we are not subjected to their behavior in public.
Let’s keep it real. Rude, Tacky and Uncouth is what describes most people nowadays. Honestly, I haven’t reached that point yet where I think I can handle a cruise that long. I don’t care how great everything is by day 7 I start getting super antsy and ready to go home. Hopefully I’ll get there one day.
💯 Yep! Having been a life long cruiser I have been very saddened by the downturn in both the quality and the attitudes of inconsiderate people now let loose on this type of vacation. I am certainly not a snob but now days something seems to snap in some peoples heads and feral creeps in. Ships are too big and quite frankly I am glad that I gave up when I did. Sadly the cruise companies have gone tacky and the customer is now only a cash cow. The best days of cruising was in the 70's and 80's and it started to go down hill when Carnival expanded it's brand along with a few others. A great shame but that's progress! 😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoyed this video - thanks. You are undoubtedly nicer and more tolerant of “marginal behavior” than my Husband, Johnny, and me. We’ve actually called out folks for bad behavior. A liveable society is dependent on literaly thousands of “niceties” and courtesies. None of us may assume that we move though public space as if we are alone or unobserved.
I so agree with you. Some people are so unaware their ignorance is just astounding and seems to be getting worse!😱
Morgan..... too funny! Especially the last one where the guy had a phone charger and a cable hanging out.... "Making a fashion statement proving he had a phone charger". I couldn't stop laughing! I love the stories you tell about your cruises! Now that I've finally gotten a new password and gotten back on Amazon, I'm going to get your book - "Getting Stiches on a Cruise Ship". I have been meaning to do that for awhile now. Can't wait to read it!
I hope the book puts a smile on your face. Thank you so much for your support!
That is truly some 'weird' behavior..Especially the chair climber! I had a similar thing when I was on the MSC Meraviglia, guy jumping the seats. Thankfully the gentleman two rows in front of me stopped the guy and told him to 'quit acting like a monkey and walk in the aisles like normal people do'...Quite a few people busted a gut laughing on that one and that guy was sooo embarrassed!! LOL
I would never comment outwardly on someone's food choices. You're all on vacation, it's none of her business what you eat.
I've always felt that many just feel entitled...or have a feeling of entitlement. The stories that I could share of some of the things people have said and done to Otis and I out in the middle of no where leave me shaking my head and wondering how long it is going to be before someone hurts you and leaves you miles away from civilization. Just keep on walking Otis! lol Always enjoy your stories! Take good care now...Bruce and Otis
Love Morgan calling these people out 😅
I think your points are very valid. I get very annoyed with people in the buffet. I remember one cruise I was also standing in the line for the buffet, and a person tried sneaking in front of me because there was only one of something left, and THEY wanted it (not on my watch sister), so I gladly heaped it onto my plate.Also, we normally cruise in early November (fewer kids on cruises from the states), but one year we took a cruise out of New York the first week of November, and quickly found out that New Jersey doesn't have school that week. over 700 kids on the ship under the age of 18 and the parents didn't care what they did. One day at the buffet, I watched a kid pull the handle on the soft serve ice cream machine and just watch the ice cream go all over the place while the parents stood there ignoring the child.
Good to know this stuff happens all the time. Not just when I happen along. Thanks for the laughs!
OMG Morgan! You had me laughing so hard through this video I could hardly breathe. I love all of your videos but this one was the best!!!
Thank you for calling out this kind of behavior! This is why we no longer cruise on anything below luxury or ultra luxury ships. We just can’t stand the growing number of people who don’t understand we all share this planet.People! Have some respect for others and YOURSELF! Fingers crossed that we see less of this kind of behavior in the future.
@@Jess_2025 Agreed.
I was on an airplane coming back from Jamaica and a woman decided to clip her toe nails and leave them on the floor! No class what so ever!
You have got to be kidding me. What is wrong with people???
I've had many random strangers comment on my food choices, especially at the cruise buffet, where your food is on display for everyone. As I eat completely animal-based Carnivore (meats, seafood, eggs, butter, cheese.... no grains, sugars, fruits or vegs) people often feel the need to tell me I'm not eating healthy and I'm going to have a heart attack. Actually, up to 3 years ago, after eating a standard diet my whole life, I was left very unhealthy. Eating this way, I've lost 80 lbs, reversed all my health concerns, including pre-diabetes & high blood pressure, and at 61 years old, feeling better than I have in 40 years. So thanks for your concern and unsolicited advice, I'll just be over here enjoying my plateful of steak & butter.
I feel you. I eat Keto or Ketovore mostly. Last two months we won't discuss. I am so heather eating that way and have the lab work to prove it. But I hear it all the time, that will KILL YOU!!! from my vegetarian friends and family. I love vegetarians, leaves more meat for me :) Just don't comment on someone food choices. Ever.
@t moore It's nice to hear from someone who understands the amazing benefits of eating this way... it can get lonely out here in Carb World 😏
Don't worry about the last 2 months. You know what to do for your best self... make your very next meal lots of delicious fatty meat until you're stuffed. Remember, cravings are like stray cats... if you feed them, they'll keep coming around; ignore them and they'll go away 😊
I appreciate you. People are so clueless. No consideration for others. Sad. Things people do. 👎🏼🙄
Omg. My husband and I have been together over 40 years and not once have I thought about popping his pimples. What the heck?
Oh, ❤ the sass!! I probably would have said something similar.
Oh EW, popping the pimples?! 😮
Oh Morgan, you have some real winners on that ship this time 😂 I was laughing so hard when you were talking about the two couples.
Hi Markus!
These people act inappropriately on land too
We really enjoy your approach on the people's behavioral aspect of your trips because we spend good part of our time at theme parks and we experience the same things all the time. The line abuse seams to be the most common effect but there are others and it most definitely worth to talk about it. In a very shallow analysis, besides other factors, the pandemic instead of making people more sensible and understandable about the others created an unacceptable collective unconscious aggressive behavior that some folks insist to show in the most diverse ways. We also understand that wanderlust plays a major role on peoples behavior and the sense that "nothing is gonna stop us now" can make a person to drive at 55 miles per hour inside Disney parking lot disregarding completely other people's lives putting in risk our families, with the only purpose of getting ahead of people that respect the rules and that's just the beginning... Thanks for bringing that up in a very nice and appropriate way so everybody can discuss this in a more adult manner. Have a Magic Weekend!
OMG! That was one of the funniest episodes yet...but also kinda sad with the state of some people's lack of common sense or manners. In our opinion you weren't off base AT ALL!
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe that mum made such a rude comment about your dinner!
As a dietitian I probably would have made some comment along the lines of “Yes, thanks, I will enjoy my dinner. All foods can be included as part of a healthy diet. I hope you enjoy your dinner too”. 🙄
I'll have to remember that one, Charity!
That rude mum probably went back and ate 3 desserts too!!!
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides to be honest, I would have wanted to go on a rant about how comments like hers feed into diet culture and how eating is about more than nutrition, that there is a social side to food and that the enjoyment and pleasure derived from eating tasty food are also valuable parts of the eating experience. But I wouldn’t have actually said those parts out loud to a stranger.
Germans have no right to be talking about healthy food. Fatty sausages constitute a large portion of their cuisine.
Whaaaat? I live with a German guy and I can't tell you the last time he ate a sausage. I think you might be generalising a little here :-P
There was some sort of respiratory illness going around on our cruise that was spread by coughing. I got it from a guy sitting about ten feet away from me who was coughing at breakfast and I could smell his breath. Normally I wear a mask but had it off because I was eating my breakfast. All throughout the cruise there were people free range coughing in the elevators, in the hallways or any place they were and I seldom saw them cover their mouth. It seems to me that they should think to cover their mouth in the dining room with their cloth napkin but instead there were some who actually were blowing their nose in the cloth napkin after not having thought to cough into it. Apparently the people you ran in forgot what it was like to be around people during covid but it seems to me they should have remembered how to cover their mouth when they're coughing.
Yep I agree with you on all your observations. Don't people teach manners anymore? I know my friends were very impressed when my sons were teens when they would leave the table if they received a phone call on their cell phone. I didn't think about it because that's just common courtesy. I was on a scuba liveaboard (20 guests) with one adult who had to be around 30 years old. He would climb over furniture like that to get to the dining table in the main lounge. Then he proceeded to eat three of the dinner rolls on the table when they only put out one roll for each guest at the table. Totally clueless that he just ate other people's dinner. SMH
Even in a small group, there seems to be one.
What a great video - love your sense of humor!
It isn't just on cruise ships. The stuff I have seen or heard working in a hospital, sigh. One guy demanded I give him the $2 needed to leave the parking garage since visiting hours were over and we were making him leave. People showed up at midnight to see friends or relatives, WITH KIDS IN TOW! Tired, cranky toddlers. Happened all the time. One great left over from Covid, the 24 hour open visitation ended. Hope it never returns.
I am so glad we still maintain no screens or phones at meals - we talk to each other, and it's nice!
It would take all day to share annoying behavior of others. But on cruises it’s still parents who let their kids run wild on the ship thinking well where can they go? And unchaperoned kids in the buffet picking over the food , and ..see I could go on and on. I have my next transatlantic in October. I’m going solo this time . I will find a quiet spot close to a drinking establishment and enjoy the sea. At 62 I just don’t have time to deal with stupid anymore. Oh one more thing. Worst behavior on our last transatlantic was we had a large group of gay couples from Germany traveling together. They were mostly very fun . About a week into the cruise my daughter and I were sitting in the martini bar while a group conversed behind us in German not realizing my daughter understood a good portion of their conversation. They where making rude derogatory comments on people walking by, mostly the Americans. It was so satisfying when as we got up to leave, we turned and commented to them enjoy the rest of your evening in German. Needless to say several of them avoided us for the rest of the voyage.
Your comments are spot on
I always see what you see
My husband never does. He tells me it’s my vibe. No way.
Folks have lost their minds .
Keep a list for your next book
Keep on cruising!
😂😂 you are cracking me up (and grossing me out)! The pimple-popping. Holy Smokes! I’m going on a cruise next week and I’m getting your book! I want to read on my trip! 😂😂
I love this! Your videos are so entertaining. I am laughing out loud.
Your annoyances were valid and very entertaining to hear! Ugh...pimple popping and hands in places NO ONE wants to see LOL Great video!
Zero expectations
Zero disappointments
I don't worry about the other people.
I'm there to enjoy my vaca
Love this segment. As a people watcher myself, I wonder what the heck are they thinking / doing? More please! Thanks for sharing!
Omg how have I not found your channel earlier 😂. You brought me many smiles!!!!
Thanks for coming over. I'm glad you're here! Did my video get suggested to you, or how did it show up on your screen?
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides showed up on my screen
"Oh, a bird just flew by, we must be getting close to land".... thanks Noah, have you been on that ark for 40 days and 40 nights? 😉😊
Hahaha! It felt like it at times!
I don’t know why people think that because they pay for a cabin they believe that every place on the boat is their private space.
Staff use to confront people like this but it just starts drama.
To keep the peace they will let people do this.
They were also desperate for customers.
Now that cruises are back, the boats are being over booked like airlines do.
I’m hoping that means the crew will crack down on it.
They can easily replace the passenger with someone else.
And when people start losing their money over their behavior, they start to behave.
I like popping pimples too but, I would NEVER do it in public. Except - if I was trying to get my Husband out of the area. Away from the slot machines, out of the pool/hot tub.
Just threatening to do that to him has got him moving.
Thankfully I have never had to do that in public. I also hope he never calls my bluff - I still can’t do that in public.
The husband with his finger in his wife during the family photos.
That guy wants a story. He wants to be able to look back at the photos knowing what he did. He may even brag about it to his friends or kids when they are older.
He’s still an ass for doing it.
Thank you for saying what we’re all thinking out loud
Very funny, Morgan! Not sure which one I laughed at the most....probably the guy playing "frogger" in the seats and his charger getting ruined.
Last cruise I went on I saw a woman crying in the bathroom because her husband had said he wanted a divorce. Still had 3 nights left.... bet that was super awkward.
Great video!
It seems to be a “me, me” world anymore.
I fear for my grandchildren’s future. It’s bad now, I can’t imagine how it will be in another 30 plus years. 😢
New subbie here I absolutely love your humor & story-telling. And just purchased your book & looking forward to reading it! Take care safe travels & be well 💮🌻💮
Oh wow! Thank you so much for your support! I hope the book puts a smile on your face. It's a short read, but remember, it's also a big help to me!
Too many Walmart shoppers?
One of our favorite things to do is on formal night we sit in the Schnooner Bar and watch the people walk by. We play “Real or Bought” on the women walking by.
Hey Morgan! Very funny video today! Now, I definitely am having second thoughts about going on a cruise! At least on land vacations, I can get away from these knuckleheads. On a ship, you are kind of "stuck" with them for the duration of the cruise. I've also avoided any land buffets (lots of Asian restaurants do buffets now) since this one time, an older schmuck grabbed food (multiple times) with his hands instead of using the tongs!!! 😳
This video put many smiles on my face!! Very entertaining 😄😄 New subscriber!!🥰
I LOVE your take on stories!!! You make my day....jungle gym man. I can visually see that happening with your description. Keep it up!!
This is the best video ! It seems to me that Covid has made most people crazy :)
Crazy started before Covid but during that time it just became exacerbated.
I was on Odyssey of the seas first sailing. “Return to cruising “ . We were at the MDR and every night a family of 4 would change me down and not look away from their phones. WTH!! My gf and use our cruise ship vacations as 7 nights of date night. Luv your videos. Keep up the great work
This is the first video I’ve seen from you and I immediately subscribed 😂😂
Oh wow I can relate! Hubby and I have experienced many of these while cruising. What are they thinking?! 😂
So funny Morgan !!! Frogger .. yup, definitely old enough to remember that game 😮 lol
Oh my goodness! So
Informative AND sooooooo funny! Love this! Just subscribed!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for coming over! I'm glad I could put a smile on your face.
For me, it’s the saving of seats. For context, on my last cruise, I had been nursing a knee injury. My husband and I spotted two vacant seats, at the aquarium show, about half way down. So, I hobbled down the steps, like little kids have to, using just one leg, for the decent, and sat down. At almost 70, it wasn’t easy for me, with the injury. After about 30 seconds, a guy, maybe, 40, at most, turns to me and says, "Those seats are saved". I point blank told him that I wasn’t moving and as they typically announce at the beginning of shows that saving of seats is prohibited, he should already be aware of that. Some people around me actually clapped, lol. Needless to say, he was steaming mad, but I just didn’t care. When his people finally showed up, he loudly proclaimed that we had taken their seats. They didn’t seem to mind at all and found seats, on their own.
Always love your thoughts. Look forward to being entertained while I drink my Sunday morning coffee.
I have just stumbled across your channel for the first time and loved your vid. BTW I did like and subscribe 😊
🐞This was a funny video and I whole heartedly agree with all of it. Thanks for sharing it.
I took my first cruise this year
(me, my 2 kids, my 3 granddaughters, my mom and my first MIL). While we did see some weird and outrageous stuff from other cruisers, we didn’t experience the things you have in your countdown. We had so much fun, I booked another 2 cruises for later this year.. fall and winter. On Oasis class ships.
🐞You are so darn cute! Love your personality ❤and delivery of your funnies!
Looking forward to more!
Thanks so much for coming over! I'm glad I could put a smile on your face. :-P
You should do a video segment like this to all your cruising vlogs: How Not to Act on a Cruise Ship
This was spot on! Very entertaining.
I am on a cruise right now and in the buffet the other day we had sort of the same situation. Someone decided to have a video call and the sound was way too loud for being in public and it was also not coming in very well so it sounded even worse. My husband said quite loudly "That isn't annoying at all". The person got the hint and got up and left to finish their phone call. And that hasn't been the only person on loud video calls in an inappropriate place.
I can’t believe what you were just saying how unconscious people are in the public eye! You did give me some good chuckle though, and I do appreciate that😂
thanks for making me laugh today! I often think I am oblivious to things that go on around me, so next cruise, I will be paying more attention! I have noticed recently a lot of unattended small children, who are not always well behaved. We were in the windjammer and sat near a family with 3 small children. ages 1 to 5. The parents left them all at the table to go get food. It became apparent to the crew, that there was a need for supervision at this table. They went over and stayed about 10 minutes with the children, while the parents were nowhere to be found. I felt it was not safe to have children making friends with strangers so easily , even though in this situation they were perfectly safe, because maybe a different time may not be so safe.
OMG MORGAN!!! 😂 HYSTERICAL!!! Belly laughs over here! You are wonderful! ❤
LOL! We were on the Symphony last summer. Some of the things you were mentioning sounded familiar....unfortunately. Pet peeve is being in the theater and having someone close by giving their commentary while the show is going on...I don't want to hear all about your day while watching the show. I think that is rude. Your videos are so funny...thanks you made my day!
Hilarious!! 😂 Thanks for this video, Morgan!
Love your posts! Its my dream to do a Transatlantic. I will eventually. I'm retiring soon!
Love the old saying…”Hell is other people”.
People are incredible aren’t they…you cracked me up. One reason to stay away from large cruise ships!
I got an ad for Chick-fil-A, funny, because it's Sunday and they aren't open on Sundays!
These stories are shocking! 😮 the girl who was washing her fingers in the hot tub after popping her boyfriends pimples got me the most! Omg 😱 🤢
Stuff like that is why I never participate in the 'people soup' option on ships.
😂❤ You're funny. My kind of humor - annoyance, described in sarcasm but true!
I thought I had crazy stories but I can't top those! BTW my first cruise was on Epic & I loved it so much that I booked a Transatlantic on Epic - but it was my first of 7 COVID-cancelled cruises. I rebooked it for Harmony (cancelled) then Allure. That was also cancelled BUT we were moved to Wonder! So Wonder's first TA was my first TA, just a few weeks after she debuted a year ago. I loved it! I ate in the Solarium Bistro every day. My 2nd TA is this Saturday on NCL Getaway. My 3rd will be in November on Enchantment.
The "Trough," line is fun to watch. (Cafeteria)
my commercial was for an expensive serum. lol! great video and so true - people behave so terribly these days.
I was in a dog park last week. Me and my boyfriend were the only people there and one other person came in and stood with us. Before the guy showed up, I had asked my boyfriend if he remembered an old viral video (The pug that couldn't run) and he didn't know what I was talking about so I pulled out my phone to show him. The other guy told us that it was rude to play a video in public without using earphones. 🤷♀️
So nobody spoke up about the couple watching Netflix but I end up next to this one weirdo who has an issue with a one minute video in an open space???
Just came off of a RC cruise. Was reluctant to take one because of people’s behavior on our last cruise. Went on a smaller ship to see if it would be better and it seemed to be. Stuck to the MDR as much as possible the food there was fine. Our room was also an ocean view in the belly of the ship it was much quieter. Sat with people from the same floor as us and they were all fantastic people. Was it just a fluke? I don’t know but from now on we are sticking to the small ships with rooms in the belly of the ship.
Kroeger ad. California doesn't have Kroeger stores...
LOVED this video!
First, commenting on what someone is eating is incredibly rude. They have no idea what you normally eat & you could've decided to treat yourself & even if it is what you normally eat, it's still not their business.
Second, that couple who bought their iPad to dinner probably shouldn't be on a cruise together if they can't go more than an hour without some sort of distraction. I'm a child of the late 70's & 80's so I've always eaten meals in front of the TV however even as a kid I knew not to bring any of my handheld games to a sit down type dinner. If they just had to watch that show they could've gotten something & taken it back to their room.
As for things I've seen or heard on two different Carnival cruises I had a situation on one where the people in the balcony cabin next to me were pondering if they could hit the ocean water if they tried to do #1 from the balcony & on another when we were playing a trivia game we had a bunch of drunk guys purposefully walking through being loud & disrupting the game. In both cases they were in their early 20's. These things haven't turned me off if cruising but I will say I'm hesitant to go on a sailing longer than 7 days because when you have that many days at sea you are bound to see a lot of strange stuff.
On the “Netflix in Solarium Bistro” topic, I just got off Ovation of the Seas. While in Sorrentos a couple was watching something on their phone and it was very distracting. Same thing - very rude and inconsiderate of everyone around them. People are just getting worse and worse with their feeling of entitlement.
I would have asked the staff to address the sound level or just asked myself. Phones or iPads for kids with neuro-issues are fine, wear headphones or earbuds. If there is NO issue, then teach some manners. We pay money to dine in the specialty restaurants on the ship and that includes the ambiance, not a table of phones on loud, and a total lack of manners.
On this past New Year’s Eve, my husband and I were on Lido on the Carnival Celebration waiting for the ball to drop. There was this kid (20’s) standing by me and he was wearing a Riddler (Batman) full suit. Couldn’t help but notice him. Midnight came and since he was alone, I said Happy New Year. He looked at me so meanly and said “Who are you? What do you want?” I was appalled that some punk could be so rude . Absolutely ruined my night.
