Agreed. And that's also why I will never take an excursion that isn't ship sponsored. We had one that went WAY way wrong in Belize one time where we were THREE HOURS late for the ship and they waited...because it was a cruiseline (Carnival in this case) sponsored excursion. We were compensated through having our money refunded AND our onboard liason (which sometimes we have one of those due to my son's disability) was absolutely horrified at how bad this excursion had gone. She got him a stuffed animal from Camp Carnival, a coffeetable book about the ship (the Carnival Magic) signed by the captain and a free tour of the navigational bridge. I've forgotten her name, but I will NEVER EVER forget her kindness towards us and our son (who was around 10 at the time). And we didn't ask for the extras...only for our money to be refunded (well, us and everyone else who'd gone on that excursion, around 50 or so people). We used the money to go ziplining the next day in Roatan and had an absolute blast. :D

NCL is absolutely correct. Cruise contracts are available for everyone to read. All the passengers who made it back on time, port workers and pilots should not have have their evening disrupted because of late arrivals back to the ship. Some people make a game of pushing all aboard time, while others don’t want to pay the often higher price of ship arranged tours. As a general rule for us, if we don’t speak the language or there is a question of port safety we stay in port or take a ship arranged tour.

Here we go again with people putting the responsibility on the cruise line. I mean really now. You go on an excursion not with the cruise line and expect them to bend the rules when you are late. I know had it been one of the cruise lines excursions, they would have waited. They are under no obligation in cases like this. Why don't people want to take responsibility for their mess ups?

No one who has ever cruised is going to feel sorry for those who missed all abord call when leaving a cruise port .

This is on the guests to be back onboard at the correct time.

I am totally onboard with NCL regarding the Campbell situation. The group of 8, due to the fault of the tour operator, wanted to inconvenience all the other passengers on the ship, as well as utilize the Coast Guard for a non emergency event.

I completely support NCL on this! People are far too entitled and they don't believe the ship will leave them. I did 24 years in the Navy, 19 and 1/2 on 9 different ships. I remember pulling out of Nanaimo British Columbia, waving to my brother whom had missed ships movement by only 10 minutes. After he paid to get back to San Diego to rejoin the ship, he was "awarded" 30 days restricted to the ship, 30 days extra duty, 1/2 month pay deduction (×2 months), and a reduction in rank! He learned his lesson and never missed ships movement again! The time is the time, period! If you can't make it back in time, don't go ashore!!! And don't whine about it!!!

I saw the article on another site and other than 3 "I would never get on a cruise ship" people the other 100 people who commented all said they should have gotten back to the ship on time.

No ship would ever be able to sail on time if they have to wait for all the people who don't care if they delay everyone else.

We were running behind schedule to get back to the ship because of inclement weather, but we booked our excursion through Carnival and the ship waited for us to return, and that is why I will always purchase excursions through the cruise line.

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell are no more special than the couple who fell asleep on the beach somewhere . The cruise line has an obligation to all guests, not just them. I rarely book excursions through the cruise lines and I own the risk. I've had to cut excursions short because of the potential of being late. That's between them and the operator.

We have even purchased a "one ticket buys all" from the shore excursion desk on the ship, that was a shuttle bus to take us from the port to another pick up point in the city, where we then could board a Hop On Hop Off bus that went around the city, a European city.

We were late departing Namibia due to 3 passengers not getting to immigration on the ship. Same thing on another cruise. Rules are rules. Be on time. You cannot hold up over 3,000 other passengers because of your agenda. Kudos to the captain on this one.

I am getting a bit tired of people screwing up on cruise ship and being late for onboard times, being disembarked at the next port for fights, breaking rules, etc. But instead of claiming responsibility and moving on with a lesson learned they go to social media or or mainstream tv media who have no clues what is in a cruise contract and instantly side with the poor cruiser left behind who ws "only" a hour late

But that isn't what happened. The ship was still anchored, but was no longer accepting incoming tenders. Just because you are at the ship doesn't mean you can get on. Just like an airliner, once the gate is closed and the skyway pulled back you cannot get on the plane even if it sitting on the tarmac - because the airline has submitted the manifest to the FAA and other authorities. A ship also has to clear customs with the country they were at AND where they are going. Letting them on after the fact would have reset this entire process. This isn't an arbitrary line in the sand - this is what they have to do to stay on their itinerary and be in compliance. I don't know what you could expect NCL to do? Make an exception? Where does the exception end? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? An hour? What about an hour and 1 minute? No matter what exception you make, someone will want just a little bit more ... just for them.

Great show Tony.

I was on a Norwegian cruise in January. One day we were on a cruise booked through the ship and were late returning. The ship gangway was open and waiting for us. I was glad we booked our excursion through the ship!!

I don't care for NCL, but this is on the cruisers, not the cruise line.

It’s very clear & made public everywhere that the ship will not wait for you. They are not your private Yacht and you are with thousands of other people & you are not special & your money doesn’t make them wait for you. It is posted & told if you take an excursion that is not through the cruise if you are late you will be left. It doesn’t matter if you can get a boat or pilot ship to run you along side you will not get on. It’s like people never heard of insurance issues & the danger of transferring people that are not familiar with doing this. I am sure if one fell in or got hurt during the transfer they couldn’t get their lawyer on the phone fast enough to sue. What happened to accountability & following the rules like the majority of the people on the ship. If the cruise lines started waiting for late people none of the schedules would be kept. The cruise lines would be sitting in ports for hours over late people because then others would just not be on time either. I bet these two think planes should wait for them, shows shouldn’t start until they are in their seats etc. it’s amazing people like these two are so into their own world & the rest of us are supposed to apparently revolve around them.😳😳 That’s a big no & they are learning that with this lesson on don’t be late back to your cruise ship. These two are acting like spoilt children and are showing exactly what kind of people they are, overly privileged. Guess what book your excursions through the cruise line! Yes they are more expensive but it guarantees you will get back in time! These people need to get on a plane & go home and be quiet, at this point they are simply embarrassing themselves more with their the rules don’t apply to me thinking.

Great show today Tony! My favorite cruise ship was built in 1996. The Carnival Destiney now the Carnival Sunshine. GREAT ship, not huge so easy to get from one place to another, has all the awesome Carnival amenities and by far the best Serenity deck in the fleet. Actually 2 decks with Waterfall pool, hot tub and bar all overlooking the Lido deck! Don’t knock those 1900’s ships 🤗

Loving all the goodies in the background. My ADHD mind is so satisfied.

I do actually get a bit of mild “mal de debarquement” after some cruises! It’s a weird feeling. 😮The first time it happened I had no idea what was wrong with me and I wondered, “Is there such a thing as reverse seasickness?” 🤔My body seems to love the motion of the ocean so much that when I move to dry land it objects! 😂

Exactly this. I don't tend to get seasick but will absolutely hurl when I get off. Takes me 2 days or so to stop moving, especially lying in bed, I can't get used to it being still. I seem to be getting worse, I get it on long train trips and overnight ferries now!

I’ve had it as well. I’ve heard it called land sickness.

Love your shirt!!

Missed the ship….on your own choice…..well figure it out 🤷🏼‍♀️

Radiance of the Seas Maiden Voyage was April 7th, 2001. Construction started in the “1900’s”. 😂

Whoops!

My son was “land sick” after a seven day cruise. He threw up on the way home and was never sick on the ship!

No one has said how late they were to the ship. I'd like to know. According to reports I heard, the ship left their passports at the port for them. So, the ship had time to realize the 8 were missing, I'm sure there were announcements for them - that always happens. Then they had to enter the cabins, get their passports and deliver them to the port. That all takes quite a bit of time. NCL is not to blame.

That's why you either book excursions with the ship or excursions with a guarantee back to the ship (with companies that can actually fulfill that guarantee). Also, I don't know why the Coast Guard took them out to the ship. They needed help getting into the Coast Guard boat. They probably would have had to navigate a ladder to get on the ship, which is very dangerous and people have died trying and failing to climb these ladders.

they probably pulled entitled BS with the island coastguard who were just trying to help. They should have been charged for wasting their time.

Yes, I wondered about the Coast Guard piece of the scenario too as it seemed really odd. Their situation was not the kind of “emergency” that’d justify calling the Coast Guard. Frankly, I was surprised they entertained their request and actually took them to meet up with the cruise ship. Why did they even go? Seems the CG should know… Besides, it seems she tried to bypass all protocol and FORCE things to happen that just couldn’t because she didn’t understand how the cruise ship operates. So she still didn’t get to have it HER WAY after all. It’s like a Karen who calls the police 911 for a non-emergency situation…occupying their time and taking resources away from more potentially dangerous scenarios. I wonder: Will The Campbell’s incur a fine for wasting the Coast Guard’s time for a non-maritime emergency?

Take responsibility for your own actions.. Check ship time, NCL APPROVED EXCURSIONS. Point Blank

Love your shirt. Love your channel. You and your wife are great. Thanks for the info/entertainment.

Love your shirt ❤

Speaking of Mario's land walking conversation, Isn't that why "Captain Jack" run's the way he does?

"They followed those rules too rigidly" My sister in christ, that's what rules are for

Love the shirt!!!!

Great video, Love the shirt

Bottom line, when you are planning your cruise you must decide whether the cruise line will "take care of you" while in their care on the excursions and getting you back on that ship, and this includes you suing them when things go wrong such as accidents. Or, you put yourself in someone else's hands that has not been vetted, knowing they might not get you back to the ship (or equipment etc not in proper working condition) and also you need to predetermine the difficulty of how you will get out of that place on your own, whether you try to rejoin the ship or go home.... on your own dime! There are not many places that I would book outside of the cruiseline. After all, I am on vacay to relax and NOT WORRY.
