These two lovely ladies were not the dog owners. We were also on this cruise and had lunch with them one day. The owner of the obviously-not-service-dogs had a similar hairstyle but was most definitely someone else.
The first two days on the ship, the "service" dogs wore little coats (pictured earlier) labeled with "Service Dog." As has already been shared, the dogs were obviously not trained and provided no visible service to the owner.
It sounds like there were consequences for the dog owner, which I'm happy to hear. I also have a close friend who has had four legitimate service dogs during her adult life, dogs that are highly trained and enable her independence. It was infuriating to see a passenger disrespecting this so obviously.
