Got to get that last minute shopping in...
Why is this even news?
Its not like its an 18th century schooner leaving for a 3 month voyage to Australia.
Nothing unusual. I see this throughout our short cruise ship season.
Fact is it is the most asked question of my cruise ship clients; “will you have us back in time so we don’t miss our ship?”
Stupid should hurt. If more stupid and selfish people experienced the consequences of their actions, life would be better for decent people. On that ship with 4,000 passengers, all but one did what they were supposed to do. There is no reason they should have waited even 30 minutes for one spoiled brat.
I’ve been on half a dozen cruises and I can’t remember a one where our departure wasn’t delayed in at least one port because of missing passengers.
This has nothing to do with cruise ships but it relates. I met a woman from South America. She told me the story of her family. Very large family in middle Europe, maybe Poland, decided in about 1890 to move to the US. They traveled to the nearest seaport but there were too many to get on one ship.
They split up and because they didn’t speak the language I suppose, one ship went to NY and one ship went to South America. It was over 75 years before the 2 groups found each other. Imagine the anguish!
You can see the woman carrying a big shopping bag in the video.
Irresponsible woman. No one else’s fault but hers.
