Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Wow. I’m sure this happens in all waters but Australia has had a string of events the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkySailing Posted March 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2018 That is crazy! Now I don’t fault Royal for kicking anyone involved off the ship. I know there is 2 sides of the story. But I’m more instested in how long did Royal take to provide even simple first aid? And why did it take him hours to finally get to his brother with his other meds? Also wonder what Royal found when security looked into the first incident these two had with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 7, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2018 What's with these folks from OZ? Similar brawl on a Carnival ship last month too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted March 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2018 What's with these folks from OZ? Similar brawl on a Carnival ship last month too. I thought they were Italian? Or maybe it was poorly worded and they were Italian Australian? Possibly just Italian Bogans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The good news was less of a brawl then what happened on the Carnival ship last month. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie cruises Posted March 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It's obvious there is so much more to this story by the obvious "spinning" in the poorly written article So really royal refused to administer medical treatment to the brother?

sellwingri Posted March 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hope this isn’t a pattern. I leave for AU in 8 days for B2B cruises on Radiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdad59 Posted March 7, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2018 It's mating season in Australia. The male of the species gets very frisky around this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted March 7, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just what we need, more news stories to scare the public into not wanting to cruise because of two fights out of hundreds of thousands of people. But yea, it's not just a "Carnival thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wonder what Royal found when security looked into the first incident these two had with each other. Considering the fairly obvious, um... Stretching of facts by the brother, I'm not going to believe the first aid story until there's verification from a neutral source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsf Posted March 7, 2018 #19 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Does this anything to do with the drink packages and supposedly free drinks? Just askin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted March 7, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Wow. I’m sure this happens in all waters but Australia has had a string of events the last few weeks. The article does mention the Carnival incident. Among the many things in that article, I can't help but notice they posted a barely related picture of the guy's young niece. That probably wouldn't happen in our press. Clearly though the "victim" is contacting a lot of press and supply his cruise photos, which is a whole other issue possibly. Ok, enough of the trivial take away from the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just askin I'm sure you won't hear either way, just like you never hear when the vast, vast, vast majority of drink package holders create no issues whatsoever.

Rare BillOh Posted March 7, 2018 #23 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Just what we need, more news stories to scare the public into not wanting to cruise because of two fights out of hundreds of thousands of people. But yea, it's not just a "Carnival thing". On that note, these help lower prices! I've not so shamelessly taken advantage of price drops created by bad news. My upcoming Jewel cruise is the cheapest 7 day balcony cruise I have ever done. Costa Concordia got me a room upgrade and Carnival Triumph breaking down got me a low cost upgrade.

robtulipe Posted March 7, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Does this anything to do with the drink packages and supposedly free drinks? Just askin Not really free even if the drink package is included in the cruise fare paid. It's just people striving to get their money's worth out of the paid for drink package.

Good point, I don't like the drink packages for several reasons, so I just don't buy them and like you implied, why punish the many for the actions of the few. The most obnoxious drunk I ever seen was well before the packages were sold. He showed up loud and totally out of control for muster on my 2007 Majesty cruise.
