what are the things that annoy cruise
0:02
passengers about other cruise passengers
0:04
more than anything else
0:06
I'm Gary beverage and this is another of
0:09
my tips for travelers I noticed there
0:11
are things that seem to really wind up
0:12
cruises about their fellow passengers
0:15
more than anything else so I thought I'd
0:17
share those and what I discovered with
0:19
you right now and these are in no
0:22
particular order first of all not
0:25
washing hands and not using the alcohol
0:27
gel norovirus is spread through touch so
0:31
touching services touching your mouth
0:32
and the best way of stopping it
0:34
spreading is through frequent washing
0:37
your hands with soap and water and also
0:39
using the alcohol gel people go
0:42
absolutely crazy when they see people
0:44
coming out of the public bathrooms not
0:46
having washed their hands or going into
0:48
things like the buffet without having
0:50
washed their hands or using the alcohol
0:52
gel because it does what other people
0:54
have risk it is one of those things that
0:56
drives people when they see it happen
0:58
crazy link to that is also when they see
1:03
people not using the tongs or touching
1:06
food and putting it back because again
1:08
that puts everyone at risk of the
1:11
norovirus and it's one thing that I see
1:12
people get really upset about and drives
1:14
them crazy when they see people touching
1:16
food putting food back and not using the
1:19
tongs other people smoking or vaping on
1:24
the balcony next to them above them or
1:26
below there is the thing that drives
1:28
cruisers crazy
1:29
delgo strict rules on cruise ships now
1:31
about where you can can't smoke and
1:33
pretty much every single Cruise Line
1:35
smoking on your balcony is not permitted
1:37
vaping in your balcony it's not
1:39
permitted a lot of people still try and
1:41
sneak a or a vape because it's quite
1:44
a big trick often to go to the areas
1:46
where you can smoke it drives people
1:47
crazy and I have seen people go absolute
1:51
mint 'el and I've seen them go and
1:52
report people and it's one things you'll
1:53
see in all of the cruise forums people
1:56
going absolute crazy where people smoke
1:58
where they're not supposed to
2:01
saving lounges around the pool on the
2:04
decks or saving seats in the theater is
2:06
another thing that drives cruisers crazy
2:08
and is probably all of these things is
2:10
the one where I've seen the most
2:11
arguments and people really falling out
2:14
and going absolutely crazy so you know
2:16
how it works people will head down there
2:18
put books or towels on lounges in great
2:21
locations around the ship now then
2:23
basically disappear for hours they might
2:24
pop back at some point of the day and
2:27
use it for a pair of time head off again
2:29
for many hours cruise lines pretty much
2:31
universally have a rule which says if
2:33
your lounge is left unattended for 30
2:35
minutes they'll take your stuff away so
2:37
to frees it up you might experience not
2:39
there many cruise lines actually enforce
2:41
that unfortunately so people have
2:43
learned actually if you do it you're
2:44
probably going to get away with it it's
2:45
the ones where I've seen the most
2:46
arguments and the most fights on board
2:49
also think that of course is in the
2:52
theater people are booking rows of seats
2:53
or big chunks of seats for their friends
2:55
or family it's another thing which the
2:57
cruise lines strongly ask you not to do
3:00
and again I've seen big falling out if
3:02
you would have been holding spaces and
3:03
again the cruise lines will make
3:05
announcements not reserving seats people
3:06
do it and again I've seen big stand-up
3:09
arouse over that as well it's something
3:10
guaranteed to drive people crazy and
3:13
annoy them linked to that another thing
3:16
which does drive a lot of people crazy
3:18
is and that's when people talk through
3:20
the shows or perhaps take pictures when
3:21
they're not supposed to because it does
3:23
get in the way of enjoying the show
3:24
often because people haven't paid for
3:27
the show specifically so it's including
3:28
their fare a lot of cruisers do seem to
3:30
behave very differently they don't see
3:32
it the same as perhaps that they've paid
3:34
people will talk of chat they might take
3:36
pictures and they're not supposed to a
3:38
table these screens around you and it's
3:41
one thing that drives people crazy and
3:42
again something that I've seen other
3:44
cruises get really really uptight about
3:46
perhaps one of my bug bears and things
3:50
that I have seen people get really irate
3:51
about is when people are laid back for
3:54
meeting points on excursions so when you
3:56
had an excursion press you've got some
3:57
free time and the guide says you know be
3:59
back at 11 o'clock or two o'clock or
4:01
whatever and there's always people that
4:03
you know at each of those stops will
4:05
come back late knowing full well that
4:07
the guide and the bus will not be
4:09
without them and people get really angry
4:11
because they know that the pace of Annex
4:14
is always going to be driven by the
4:15
people who are lost so but you've got a
4:17
number of different places to visit and
4:19
people are back every single time late
4:21
it means that your time gets more and
4:23
more squeezed definitely one thing that
4:25
does annoy cruisers not surprisingly
4:29
perhaps kids can often be the source of
4:31
a lot of annoyance and things that drive
4:33
people crazy on a cruise particularly as
4:34
people who aren't traveling with kids so
4:37
kids running right around the swimming
4:39
pool without sort of being reined in
4:41
or perhaps charging up and down the
4:43
corridors making a noise or playing in
4:46
the lifts or where there are set times
4:48
at a swimming pool for adults only or
4:51
kids only and parents don't pay
4:53
attention that let their kids go when
4:55
it's only time or in two areas so kids
4:58
is often a source of conflicts on cruise
5:01
lines particularly cruisers and cruise
5:03
lines which are not really family
5:04
orientated so okay there's a lot of
5:06
cruise lines with its MSC Cruises Royal
5:08
Caribbean Norwegian those on cruise
5:11
lines it's all very focused towards
5:12
family people going on those cruises do
5:14
of course expect to see lots of kids
5:16
lots of families and go with that
5:17
mindset other cruise lines which are
5:19
perhaps less family or less kids
5:21
orientated I have seen a lot of kind of
5:24
people going a little bit crazy feeling
5:25
that your kids behave better in my day
5:27
or whatever but kids is definitely
5:29
something that can cause a lot of flash
5:31
points and annoyance between cruisers
5:35
another thing that does drive people
5:37
crazy and I've seen it quite often on
5:39
ships is when people have room service
5:41
and instead of just phoning room service
5:42
which they ask you to do they put the
5:44
tray outside into the corridor now
5:46
particularly a lot of cruise ships you
5:47
know the corridors are quite narrow and
5:49
if people do have some mobility issues
5:51
so they perhaps might be within a walker
5:54
or in a wheelchair it means they sort of
5:57
having to shove those aside to get up
5:58
and down the corridors but generally as
6:00
people think it's unnecessary because
6:02
they know that you can actually just
6:04
phone up your room service as you did
6:06
and they'll come pretty quickly and to
6:08
take away from your cabin so that
6:09
certainly is one thing that I see
6:10
discuss a lot and does seem to annoy
6:13
cruisers quite a bit
6:15
the next two are really often
6:17
interlinked one of those are when people
6:20
get really drunk and really rowdy and
6:22
out of hand in any of the venues and
6:24
I've seen lots of tensions rise around
6:25
that particular people feel it's
6:27
encroaching in their own space link
6:29
layer of course is the next point which
6:31
is just general noisiness taking poor
6:33
people in cabins which perhaps have into
6:35
connecting doors or there's not great
6:37
soundproofing where the people
6:39
opportunity rowdy noisy party in their
6:41
cabin and it is quite intrusive on other
6:44
people that is one thing that you see a
6:46
lot of complaints about so the course
6:48
the key thing is if you think that's
6:49
going to impact you make sure that
6:51
you're choosing a cabin that first of
6:53
all doesn't have an inter connecting
6:54
door and secondly isn't above or below
6:56
any of those venues where there's going
6:58
to be lots of partying like the
6:59
nightclub or perhaps the bars and the
7:02
big late night venues surprisingly one
7:07
of the most interesting things that
7:09
seems to wide people up enormous Lee is
7:11
comparing fairs you hear it happen all
7:15
the time on cruises where people will
7:18
start talking about the cruise and
7:20
somehow they start comparing how much
7:22
they paid whoever paid the most is
7:25
annoyed people that have got great deals
7:27
are very proud of sharing that if you do
7:30
get an amazing deal and you want to wind
7:32
up people bring up how much did people
7:34
pay one of the things that perhaps is a
7:38
thing that does annoy cruises and
7:41
increasingly as annoying cruises and
7:42
maybe a good thing that people more
7:44
people getting annoyed is when they see
7:45
their fellow passengers being rude or
7:48
disrespectful or unnecessarily demanding
7:51
of the crew on a ship as you'll know the
7:55
corner ship they work very long
7:56
contracts away from their family for a
7:58
long time they don't earn huge amounts
8:00
of money and they work really hard with
8:01
no days off and so when other cruises
8:04
sea cruises being rude disrespectful /
8:07
demanding they're creating a lot of mass
8:08
a lot of extra work for the crew other
8:11
cruises get annoyed and that's probably
8:13
as I said is a good thing because
8:15
actually treating your crew with respect
8:17
and treating them well is a good thing
8:19
so I think personally if people are
8:21
getting annoyed it's great because it's
8:22
kind of normal pressure on people to be
8:24
more respectful next time you go on a
8:27
cruise
8:27
take a look
8:28
some of these things and just see and
8:30
look at how other cruises are reacting
8:32
to the things that cruisers do it's very
8:35
interesting to see that you'll probably
8:37
find that these are the things that wind
8:39
up people a lot and encourage you next
8:42
time you're on a cruise to take a look
8:43
for each of these to see if you can spot
8:46
them too I think there are things that
8:47
are really winding up modern cruisers a
8:50
lot why not watch many more of much of
8:53
so travelers videos they're packed full
8:54
advice and tips to help you make the
8:56
most of your precious travel time money
8:58
on land on sea and on the rivers of the
9:00
world
