How inebriated is too much?

[lawofraven]

Is there a drunk tank on any of the Ncl ships? A few years ago on the Dawn they asked/escorted us out the door of a bar we were in but did not tell us party over. I was wondering if they can confine passengers to cabin or flag us? (special sticker on S&S card). Oh BTW which symbol is the spell check?

Thanks,

Angie ;)

I think when you begin to disturb others and embarass yourself then it is time to call it a night.

I saw some very drunk people on the Sun last year that should have been asked to go back to the cabin. Truly, it is for your own safety and the safety of others. The last thing anyone needs is some one who has had a few too many injuring themselves or someone else.

I agree ... ergo George Smith.

On the Spirit last November, there was a group of 4 "guys" (read - 20s/30s) who were in an elevator with me. I had gone down to retrieve a second customs form and was alone. It was only around 12:30AM, so it wasn't terribly late at all.

 

They were hanging on to the walls, etc. and spilling their drinks and beer on the floors and themselves. One got off at the wrong floor and when I went to exit on the next floor, the language and comments from the remaining group was utterly offensive (and, I don't offend easily). I went directly to our cabin amid the commotion. Dear Fiance opened the door and they scattered. We just kept to ourselves for the remainder of the night. No use to complain to anyone - since these guys were out in public, eventually someone would say something to them (I hope).

 

There were a lot of people sloshing drinks all over the floors and themselves - it was a strange sight indeed.

 

Now *that's* what too inebriated means - the people can't walk, stand or talk. They don't know where they are. And, they make other passengers uncomfortable.

""Websters Dictionary:

Inebriate - adj -

1. To make drunk.

2. To exhilarate, confuse, or stupefy mentally or emotionally.

3. An intoxicated person.

4. A habitual drunkard.

Inebriated. - drunk, intoxicated. Also, see drunkard.""

 

To respond to OP's question, all of these definitions describe "Too Inebriated", IMHO.

Many folks can handle their liquor better than other's but none seem to know when they have passed the point where they are offensive, abusive, and just plain drunk. Not fun for those who are unfortunate enough to be in their presence.

My boss is going on the Dawn in March and I told her the story about our large, loud group being asked to leave a bar. She is worried because her brother-in-law can get loud and obnoxious when he drinks. Someone else told her about that honeymooner that disappeared and that cruise lines are cracking down on public drunkeness. Sorry I guess I should have mentioned this in earlier post. I joked with her just to order a bar set-up and let him in the cabin.

We were on a cruise several years ago and there were a bunch of really drunk people. They were so bad that they actually put them off the ship at the next port!!!!(After warning them) If you read the cruise regulations, it says that they can do that and then you have to find your own way home.
