Bodogbodog Posted December 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Oh dear - when cruises go wrong - it seems that not everyone had a good time on this Voyager of the Seas cruise in NZ earlier this week An Australian man was kicked off the Voyager of the Seas cruise ship after he assaulted his ex-partner while on the way to the Bay of Islands...On the same day, a 74-year-old passenger was issued with a formal warning after police said she tried to steal jewellery from a Paihia shop I guess you get 4000 on a ship together and there can be a few bad eggs NZ Press story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo72 Posted December 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2015 We were on the VOS cruise that finished last Friday. We had people leave that cruise with their luggage at most ports...most of they didnt look happy to be leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozscot01 Posted December 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I was aware of one person being removed in Bay of Islands from the 5/12 cruise on Voyager, but not others. That individual had been "confined" to their cabin with security outside since our first stop in Mystery Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailzmick Posted December 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 24, 2015 We've had people leave our ships every sailing we've done... But only on our Aussie sailings! Lol. There was an all in family brawl on Radiance a couple of years ago- (like 10+ people throwing punches!) for the next few days, a few of them had black eyes. Ha ha. Just the two main people got asked to leave! One boy, (he was 17) got thrown off for bringing pot on board. His parents stayed on the cruise!

Esilef Posted December 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 24, 2015 On our rhapsody cruise a father and son had a fight in the casino and a chair was thrown. During the art auction a man was so enraged that he was not the highest bidder that he punched a hole threw the painting. Just remember these stories have passed 2000 sets of lips...... Australians are not known for embellishing their stories at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozziepost Posted December 24, 2015 #15 Share Posted December 24, 2015 On one memorable trip on the old Pac Sun we had a group kicked off the ship at Mystery island for fighting in the laundry. A plane landed on the islands airstrip and took the passengers to the nearest international port at their expense. When it comes to shop lifting I had a long career in retail there is no specific age profile it can be anyone from kids to the elderly often the person caught is well dressed and has more than enough on them to pay for the goods.

shrekaus Posted December 27, 2015 #19 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Unfortunately, people being kicked off the ship is a regular occurrence.:( We went on our first cruise Sea Princess to NZ last January. Two female "friends" were put off first stop Auckland for heckling abusing the DJ and wouldn't stop after warnings. Two other females - obviously not friends, were put off for having a physical altercation (punch up) in the laundry over machines. Second cruise Solstice November, staff weren't telling any tales. :) Third cruise coming up in February Pacific Dawn, who knows?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted December 27, 2015 #20 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Now I'm worried. All these stories about fights in the laundry.........who knew clean undies were so important to some people that they would be kicked off a cruise ship...... Now what was that about 4 wears per pair....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Kruzer Posted December 27, 2015 #21 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The best/worst laundry rage story I heard was of a lady on an American cruise ship , who went to collect her washing and found a dress missing. Next day she saw her dress being worn around the pool deck....confrontation ensued which ended up with the two of them pulling each others hair and rolling around the deck. Security came rushing to break it up . They were both put off at the next stop.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagtail_syd Posted December 27, 2015 #22 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I've had one firsthand experience. On the second last night of our Carnival cruise there was a lot of shouting and scuffling right outside our room at around 3am. A violent domestic had happened up on another deck and security were bringing the man down to our deck to separate them and confine him to a separate cabin but the woman had followed them down and was screaming abuse at security. They ended up dragging her away and there was a security guard outside the cabin three up from ours for the whole last day of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe that chain stores make more than 1 of the same dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these stories about fights in the laundry.........who knew clean undies were so important to some people that they would be kicked off a cruise ship....... Ahh that explains why no laundry on Solstice, saving on security?? I thought it was to make you pay their inflated laundry service prices but fooled them, took enough clothes so didn't need to wash :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
