Live from the Oasis--Woman Threatens to Kill Security Guards and Family in MDR

[Marylandteachergirl]

Yeah - the baggage. :( I do tend to overpack. I suppose it's a good life lesson in a sad way.

 

I am sure that is why I rarely drink, and if I do , it's fruity and mostly sugar.

 

I am sure, now that she is sober, she is mortified. And, I am sure someone in the dining room caught the event on their cell phone camera.

[Marylandteachergirl]

Thanks for sharing. I am sure it took some courage. We children of alcoholics carry a lot of baggage into our adult lives. I can only hope that she did not have children with her at the table.

 

 

Thank you Gail! It has been many years now. Reading stories like that just make me sad for the friends and family.

[A&L_Ont]

The family should have a photo of her in the Brig, so they can remember their cruise! Good Idea! Smile!

 

All I know is the ship's photographer always shows up for me at the most inconvenient moment, such as seconds after my main meal is placed in front of me. It would not have surprised me if they were beside the table when the woman started yelling. I just came from TMZ and she must not have been that famous/important as there were no celeb/CEO photos posted today of said woman from the ship.

 

I feel for the family, as this type of situation usually isn't the first time it's happened.

With so many getting the "unlimited" drink package (though servers can refuse to serve those who appear impaired) AND the free drinks in the concierge lounge, more and more people drink to excess to "get their money's worth" from the beverage package.

 

Not sure what its like in the US but drinks packages are 'free' with nearly every UK cruise purchase. Its a massive sale generating tactic over here, sales literature states all inclusive drinks before listing the ports :eek:

 

I'm no prude and like a drink but 70 people recently thrown of Independence (if the post from the reviews section of CC is to be believed) for alcohol related incidents is a serious matter, as is this with this lady.

 

Not sure the answer is.

I would have been right there recording the whole thing and periscoping it live. And hopefully all of her coworkers would have been watching.

To make the situation magically disappear? ;)

 

For, the price, you would think they could!!

That could be me in a few weeks.:eek: For sure the photog will show up at the wrong time.:p

 

Edit: that's one way to get the expedited disembarkation treatment.

Main Seating: Obviously inebriated woman sitting in MDR at early seating began throwing silverware and yelling at family seated at adjacent table. F-bombs being screamed and the woman yells at the waitstaff that she's an executive with Intel and has two suites on the ship. Waitstaff attempts to contain her at which time she begins screaming that she will kill them and her family members if they don't leave her alone. Waitstaff begins scurrying to collect knives and silverware from all the tables in the area. Security takes a very long time to arrive and seems more concerned with trying to placate the screaming woman than they are with removing her from the dining room. Woman is led away screaming and security is overheard saying she will be turned over to the Sherriff's Deputies upon arrival in FLL in the morning. Guessing she's spending the night in the pokey.

 

Entire incident caused me to question the efficiency of security on the Oasis.

Seriously, what's to question?.....K.O.:rolleyes:

[Lionesss]

Well, isn't every person who cruises famous after a couple drinks of alcohol?

 

Well at least in their own mind.:eek:

 

 

Okay, not being sarcastic, but alcohol does have a big part in social situations.

 

The more you drink................well..................the more that could happen.

 

Thank God I travel with the DH.

One drink an hour I am very social.

Two drinks an hour, put me to bed...............to sleep

 

Three drinks......................."clean up on deck 17"

 

Just saying.

 

For me better to just drink slow so I do not make a fool of myself.

 

Just saying

Yorkvillian, that would have been the periscope ever! Lol

[vickiw0318]

The OP said that security took a long time to arrive. That had to be disconcerting when you are around someone throwing silverware.

 

My favorite story in response to the Don't You Know question was an airline ticket counter employee who supposedly got on the P.A. system and said "I need some help here. This man doesn't know who he is."

Well .... Think about the marketing opportunity..

Now the FLL Sherriff's department can say they have "INTEL Inside" LOL

Love it!!!

 

Great post.

 

Thanks for sharing.

[paulh84]

From watching strange things unfold once too many times on a ship, if there is no actual fight to break up, the first thing security tries to do is calm the person and the situation down. Then they will do the escort away as necessary.

 

Yep. They're doing their job correctly, as uncomfortable as it may seem for other people and kids forced to watch her act so ridiculous. In our current environment imagine if they came in, pounced the woman, tossed her over some mans shoulder and drug her out kicking and screaming (which is presumably what most of the onlookers wanted to see happen at the time). Talk about a media fire storm....

[Artemus]

Do you think RCCL should hire her to do photos with passengers? Instead of the pirate with the sword, they could have her with a table knife.

3.) The woman who's about to be fired for the black eye you just gave the company.

 

So true.

 

 

+1

 

I've seen it done on a Qantas A380 headed to LAX:

 

. cabin staff knelt down and looked up at irate noisy business class passenger and calmly asked him if he could keep the noise down as people were trying to sleep.

 

. pax continued to get louder and louder (DYKWIA)

 

. more and more senior cabin staff knelt at his feet and looked up at him (submissive position/actions)

 

. eventually chief purser gave an ultimatum and he settled down.

 

What he didn't see were the air marshals in each aisle next to my seat waiting to see whether he was going to stop. They were deliberately outside his line of sight. (Their presence initially gave me a bit of a fright!)

 

Once he had calmed down they 'melted away' back to somewhere in the plane.

 

I love the way you told that story. I could really picture it. The guy never knew how close he came.

 

My mom's townhouse neighbor in the '90s got drunk on a plane (he had drinking and drugs problems anyway) and got loud and scary and "threateny". Arrested, felony, prison, the whole thing. Wife divorced him while he was in prison. His whole life down the tubes because he just needed to drink (knowing he had a problem) and couldn't calm down. And that was in the '90s. Cannot even imagine what would have happened to him just a decade later causing that sort of problem on a plane.

[mollyeilis]

I rarely drink, but my father is an alcoholic (now sober), and I vividly remember a restaurant dinner on my birthday (age 10) where he was very impaired and started a screaming fight with my mom and neighboring table. Nice birthday (sarcasm intended), and an awful experience I will never forget.

 

I'm so sorry. And I'm very glad he's sober now. My father never really got sober; at one point he simply stopped drinking, but never joined any program or really changed his verbal behavior (the physical abuse only came out when drinking, and I'm not sure he could have taken on his second wife, who is 10" taller than my mom was). 20 years later he started socially drinking again, and that seems to be OK, but it's not like he ever stopped being a "dry drunk". No amends, no nothing.

 

Thanks for sharing. I am sure it took some courage. We children of alcoholics carry a lot of baggage into our adult lives. I can only hope that she did not have children with her at the table.

 

Yep to all of that.

 

 

I would have been right there recording the whole thing and periscoping it live. And hopefully all of her coworkers would have been watching.

 

I get the urge to do that, but you could actually destroy her life like that. She needs to hit rock bottom so she can come back up and create a new life. But if you destroy any possibility of a future by filming that bad moment (that might or might not be her rock bottom), you are eliminating her future. SHE has to hit rock bottom; you don't need to do that TO her.

 

One of my dear friends is a drugs/alcohol counselor whose husband hit rock bottom 20 years ago and is fabulously sober now. They met after he became sober. Their children have ONLY known him as a sober man. He has been able to rebuild his life.

 

If, during whatever it was that caused him to finally "get it", he had been filmed and shamed all over the world, how could he have rebuilt his life? How could he have created this beautiful family?

 

He is an amazing man, and I'm glad that no one actively destroyed his future by filming him.

 

 

Seriously, what's to question?.....K.O.:rolleyes:

 

"Security takes a very long time to arrive and seems more concerned with trying to placate the screaming woman than they are with removing her from the dining room."

 

That's what they are worried about.

[spookwife]

And how do you know security took too long to arrive? For all you know they were there immediately and held back to see if she'd calm herself down

[legaljen1969]

I wish I'd been there....not because I really wanted to see it, or would have done anything differently...just because that would mean I was currently on Oasis. :D

 

You have love to the DYKWIA crowd! New thread: "Best Answers to the Question: Don't You Know Who I Am?"

 

1.) I don't now, but the whole world will as soon as I post this video of you making an a$$ of yourself.

2.) I'm sure you're famous in your village, but this particular location has more than one idiot.

3.) The woman who's about to be fired for the black eye you just gave the company.

4.) Someone who obviously needs a new publicist.

5.) No, but I'm hoping you earn enough for bail money.

 

Great responses.

[legaljen1969]

It seems to me that maybe the woman had problems other than drinking too much? Maybe she got some "herbal supplements" in port that didn't catch up until dinner time.

 

I cannot imagine how disconcerting that was for other diners. When you have someone hurling weapons/brandishing weapons and threatening to kill others for no apparent reason, that seems like more than just a "few too many" to me.
