kicked off the ship

[salty dingo]

Possession of an illegal substance will certainly get you removed from the ship.....any illegal substance' date=' including the smoking kind.[/quote']

Yes, it certainly CAN. And I don't want to hijack this into a drug thread, but I think this is a judgement call. If you are acting obnoxious, doing anyting involving children, or causing people to complain, they will take action. Otherwise they seem to leave people alone to their vices.

 

I know that in Bermuda, and probably other places, the local police board cruise ships with drug sniffing dogs and even if you have it in the safe you are dead meat. They take you off an you'll likely miss the ship. In Jamaica the cops search you as you get back on the ship - they don't bother to use dogs, they run their hand over ever inch of your body (if you get my drift) and feel for it.

So, it's clearly a bad idea, don't get me wrong!

Some of us who spent a lot of time in the Military aren't certain what he means ;):D (but I have a guess based on context)

 

 

So do I, but only God knows if my guess is correct.

glrounds: We were getting ready to leave Nassau when a man and woman and their luggage left the ship and were on the pier. The lady and a bunch of luggage got into a golf cart and were driven away. The man remained on the pier with his luggage. People, including us, were on our balconies in anticipation of sail away. I was too far aft to hear what they were saying exactly but someone closer to him asked why he was leaving the ship. He said "it wasn't our choice, believe me." He proceeded to tell people on balconies closer to where he was standing what had happened but we couldn't hear what he was saying. Just curious. I know what CAN happen. I just wondered if anyone knew what actually did happen.

This could mean anything from they did something wrong to a loved one passed away at home. Also the source of this statement of what was said on the balcony could be full of it and just spreading something that makes plants and vegetables grow better that is produced by horses and bulls.....:D:eek:;)

How would any of us who were not there know what happened?

 

Maybe you should have asked the other passengers who talked to him.

 

:rolleyes:

[roysue]

Well, then that would be SAME CONVEYANCE with DIFFERENT TIMES. Still strikes me [operative word] as being unusual that the man wasn't with his wife/girlfriend/cruisemate. But now we know they weren't "kicked off" the ship.

 

Actually I was on that sailing too. Although I could not hear the exact words the man was saying, some others on their balcony said he made it plain that he was being removed from the ship against his will. No flames, please, I just don't understand why you picked apart this poster?

[obnurse]

Well, I know they weren't the medical emergency. When we entered the ship for the last time that day there was an ambulance there waiting for someone. These people did not leave in an ambulance. They were both walking, talking and carrying luggage. The reason the man and lady didn't leave together was because they had too much luggage to get on one golf cart. First the lady, then the man; both left prior to our ship leaving.

[Chacooe]

It was most likely from drugs being found on them when they came back to the ship. I was reading in USA Today about a young man and his family being kicked off because the kid smuggled on something like 30 joints and it was a police dog that found them on his checked in luggage at the port. I bet his parents were ticked off to spend that kind of money only to be kicked off because their son wanted his pot. They did arrest the son on both federal charges and state charges. They only arrested the son because the pot was in his suitcase and not his parents.

 

It does make me wonder why they would kick the parents off, since they did not find anything on them, or maybe they just got off to be able to help their son get an attorney or something.

[imsulin]

If the son was a minor (under 21) and cruising with his parents, they would all be asked to leave.

If it appeared like I was "picking apart" the OP, I apologize. I thought I was merely stating so many other possibilities and wondering why he/she picked "kicked off the ship" as a thread title based on what little information she was privy to. I sometimes go out of my way at times to NOT pic apart a poster . . . even those who, incidentally, pick me apart by accusing me of something I didn't intentionally do. :D

[imsulin]

this is somewhat similar to an insident on a RCCL s Monarch a few yrs. back..WITH MY DAUGHTER..my son was a karate instructor at the time and found 2 young males in her cabin trying to get her drunk..*he s now a police investigator, Special Victims Unit*

 

Well, onward..between him and his 3 cousins proceeded to rat pack the punks pretty good..when security finally arrived the parents wanted to press charges against my son and his cousins..i interviened and told them that i wanted to press charges against the 2 young adults for contributing to the deliquency of a minor.. these guys.

 

it was funny..everytime i passed by them anywhere on the ship they would hit the wall..those who have been in the military would know what that means.:D

 

This was "funny"?? Sounds like your daughter had a problem allowing two young males into her cabin in the first place. Sounds like you think your son and cousins had the right to physically assault these guys. Sounds like you encourage and validate this kind of behavior. Sounds to me you're what my retired Army Lt. Col. Dad called a "chest thumper". (All talk, but not much to back it up with, other than physical stuff). Sounds like you can't control your daughter, let alone your son and his cousins. Sounds to me you're pretty much a bully.

On our first cruise we did not go to Jamacia, because of a possible hurricanr. On our last stop in the Cayman islands, I had heard that there was some reall idiots smoking pot on the ship. When we got back to the ship, the parents were handcuffed, the kids were crying and all of their stuff was in a pile on shore. It could have been worse has they could have been kicked off the boat in Mexico!

[Guest bahamamama1]

My friend was on a Conquest cruise in May. He said a husband and wife were very drunk most of the time and one night in tha cabin they got in a huge fight and he beat her. The couple was given 2 choices. Either the husband goes to the brig till the ship gets back in the US or the husband gets off at the next port and the wife continues on. They decided the husband would get off at the next port so they got the wife another cabin for that night.. then the next day, the husband was escorted off the ship. Suprisingly, the wife got off with him - by her own choice !!

That's funny....on our first cruise, also the Conquest, there was a couple fighting in the hallway. Our waiter in the MDR told us that he heard that the fight began b/c the man was paying too much attention to another woman and the fight continued for hours commencing in the knockdown drag-out we witnessed in the hallway....they were put off at the next port, Jamaica, ... air travel home at their own expense :D

This happened a few months ago when the Conquest was avoiding the Mexican ports due to the SWINE FLU. Instead, they had 2 days in Jamaica.

Actually, it is not surprising. This is common behavior in cases of domestic violence.

Alas, this is sadly true. A variation of a phenomena known as trauma bonding.

But this is not limited just to domestic violence...

[imsulin]

We just had a case here in the CA Bay Area where a girl was gang raped by a bunch of guys when someone that she thought was a friend invited her for an after homecoming drinking party in a secluded part of the school. Could be that the girl met the guys, thought they were friendly and never thought of the possible consequences. Kids make mistakes. Picture yourself if you were her parent or older brother. I'm sure you'd want to whoop some ass too. And I'm sure we don't know the whole story anyways. I know if it were MY daughter and she was underaged and had "adult" men in her room you bet your ass I'd press charges AND ground my kid til she was 30.

 

I'm not one for arguing on the effing internet, but I've been reading the boards all day in anticipation of my upcoming cruise and from reading your other posts on these boards maybe you would want to go reread them. Calling someone a bully is like the pot calling the kettle black...JMO. We're here to share stories and get tips and advice, not pick fights with one another.

 

This incident has been on the news for many, many days! Kids make mistakes?? Kids enticed by thugs who committed a brutal assault. There have been numerous arrests, and probably more pending. They were not on a cruise ship. This girl did not invite two males into her cabin, but deepnite10's daughter did. THAT is what you meant by "kids make mistakes". Right? Yes, she made a mistake, but her Dad (deepnite10) never acknowledged it. Never admitted that his daughter made a mistake, but immediately excused his son and three cousins for beating these guys up. And then bragged about it. That's why he's a bully. I'd be mad, too, but I'd be a lot madder at my daughter. Have a problem with these two guys still being on the ship, if deepnite10,s story is true, so that whenever he saw them, they were so intimidated by him that they were "up against the wall". If these guys were truly guilty, they would have been off the ship. deepnite10 is a bully, and if you believe him, I don't care. He's a chest-thumper. This pot is definitely calling this kettle.

I can hear it now

i was on a empress of the seas 11 day cruise two years ago the husband got kicked off in st kitts and the wife stayed onboard. he flew home to new york, a few days later he showed up at the dock in aruba to take her out for lunch etc. then flew home again. she looked like she was having the time of her life on the ship without him.

Rumor has it that Carnival found out they took their kids out of school to save money on the rates!!:D

LOL :D:eek:

 

Now back to the thread. I do know two different problems can be going on a ship and get them confused as being the same thing. On our lasted cruise we had a medical emergency and two passages that didn't get on the ship in time and they were calling them. Plus they had a pax that fell. All this was going on at the same time when we where living Belize. The ship even stop for a while to wait for some medical people to come out to the ship.

 

So there may have been two different problems going on, one being a medical emergency and the possibility of a couple getting kick off the ship.

[FLFemale]

I agree... smoking pot is not likely to get you booted (I have smelled it too many times and they don't do anything, and shouldn't do anythign in my view.)

 

Now, being under the influence of any drug, including alcohol, and making a violent disturbance may easily get you kicked off.

 

So, if you punch someone, or get caught vandalizing something, they can kick you off. It can also happen if someone is acting in a predatory manner, or trying to sell stuff to the guests.

I was on the NCL Sprit last Nov.; the last night at sea someone was caught with pot. While coming up the Miss River the N.O. police boarded the ship and when docked they escorted the passenger off. The rest of us passengers had to have a 100% bag check and it took us almost four hours to get through Customs.
