Let's all carry a couple of $20 bills with us, and when we see someone being a jerk to a crew member, send a little love their way. I know I'm going to. It'd be a lot more fun - and probably more effective - if we could also carry cattle prods to, uh, 'remind' the boorish guests about manners and how to treat everyone like a human being.

I think alcohol is more of an amplifier than a cause. If you're a good person sober, you're generally a good person drunk. But if you're an ass sober, you'll be an ass to the third power when you're drunk. I tend to drink more when I'm on a cruise, and not once in 120+ nights on board have I EVER talked down to crewmembers or caused a scene. I know that for a fact because if I had, my wife would remind me of the fact incessantly. 🙂 But fortunately, these people are relatively rare. Do the math - in like 13 cruises, with 600-700 pax per cruise or so that's around what, 8,000-9,000 people we've sailed with? And I can think of maybe 5 or 6 who I wanted to punch. Pretty good odds. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be worth at least $50 per incident if I could use the cattle prod. Now to figure out how to get it through airport security. 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe a mousetrap hidden in the breadbasket offered to the offending guest would work. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlandlubber Posted September 10 Author #80 Share Posted September 10 It’s been about two weeks since we’ve been home and never in a million years would I have predicted such a varied and large number of responses. Please know that it was only one “lady” who was a jerk and as most of the online community has mentioned, the vast majority of Regent cruisers are very well-mannered, which is why we always enjoy the cruises so much. Happy cruising, fellow travelers! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably the ones who wear jeans to Compass Rose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
