My worst is when fellow passengers are rude when out on excursions, to tour guides and locals. They seem to think they are privileged and everyone else lives in a 3rd world country. In Russia, someone (who previously had been heard very loudly talking about her friend Lavinia at the tennis club) started to ask the guide about what type of sanitary arrangements were available to local residents! The guide was amused, and wryly said that it was quite modern in Russia, they had electricity and taps and everything, including many millionaires! She reported him for being rude......in Buenos Aires, the guide was asked about the poor and starving....we were in an area where all of the condos had their own yacht moorings....the guide clearly didn't know what to say.
On a trip to St Petersburg, 4 young men spent all day drinking while we were in the Hermitage, threw up on the coach, then when we got to the Airport and we were divided into planes for London and Manchester, shouted that they didn't think anyone from the north would be on a "culture trip".....I understand they weren't allowed on the plane!!!!
For some reason, I feel responsible for their behaviour!

Cancellation rights after itinerary changes
in Ask a Cruise Question
Posted · Edited by Host Walt
Delete name of TA
we have booked a cruise in April 2019 on Celebrity cruises via our TA for our 40th anniversary.
It was advertised as Japan to Canada via Alaska. We were attracted to the itinerary and also a special offer of all inclusive plus onboard credit.
As soon as we booked and paid the deposit (£500) we were told the offer didn’t apply to this cruise as it was a repositioning cruise. Ok, we accepted this as it wasn’t our main motivation for booking.
Now, 14 months away from sailing, we are told that the only stop in japan has been changed to somewhere unheard of in Russia (it starts in Tokyo but in a hotel), and that Alaska is off and we are going straight to Canada.
Our agent tell us we cannot cancel or change as this is not a “significant change”- 2 of the 3 places on the title we are not visiting, and it is over a year away. Is this not misspelling.
