chessbriar Posted August 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I hope he gets the same treatment as the girl on the RCL a couple years ago who made terroistic threats on the way to Hawaii because she missed her boyfriend. JAIL TIME. These are serious times and we don't need idiots crying wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingChick Posted August 5, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Another reason NOT to cruise Carnival? I'm apprehensive to ever step onto a Carnival ship, this does nothing to ease that apprehension. I wonder what type of punishment he will get.

springtxbill Posted August 5, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Unfortunately, he will probably never be caught, unless he brags to his friends about it and they report him.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmand Posted August 5, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2004 This has nothing to do with the cruise line. It is another example of someone doing something stupid....I agree with springtxbill, probably never get caught. This could have been much worse, no one was injured.

Danno Posted August 5, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Sounds like youth, stupidity, booze and a microphone all came together at one point...another example of a fun night on a "fun ship". Just about time for Carnival to have it's annual "a drunk jumped overboard" festivities...fun, fun, fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne S Posted August 5, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 5, 2004 We sailed on Carnival to Canada in June 2002 and had a wonderful time - met some very nice people. The passengers we met were very civilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsjohn Posted August 5, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I would consider the PA room part of the communications command center of the ship and should have been secured. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo's Mom Posted August 5, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Personally, if I were a passenger on that ship...I would be holding the cruiseline (Carnival) responsible. Access to the Public Address System needs to be secure. Period. This is exactly the reason why. Many people could have been hurt. People fall. Heartattacks happen. etc.... Yes, the individual should be punished. But, as a passenger...I would be upset with the cruiseline. There you go....those are my thoughts! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted August 5, 2004 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It's really a shame that you have to pad lock, dead bolt and guard EVERYTHING just to protect yourself from the BONEHEADS of the world...who is at fault?? Bonehead 95%, Carnival 5%. Sober him up, then lock him up!!! If he's under 18, lock the parents up too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2J Posted August 5, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2004 How is this event any worse than this one? Nov 02 - Celebrity: Two crew members (a plumber and an air conditioning technician) arrested for sexual assaulting and battering and female youth counselor. The announcement was made from the Maitre'd station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usha Posted August 5, 2004 #13 Share Posted August 5, 2004 :eek:It really doesn't sound like Carnival's onboard security is all that impressive, if some idiot can gain access to the ship's PA system!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWOFERTWO Posted August 5, 2004 #14 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Gee, I wonder if this passenger is yet the next step in the "I paid for this cruise, I can do what ever I want" :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocJohnB Posted August 5, 2004 #15 Share Posted August 5, 2004 This is really an apples an oranges argument liv. Of course, the sexual assault is a terrible thing. Of course, the PA announcement is a terrible thing. They just are not the same thing. The two crew assaulted one person. They need to punished accordingly. The idiot on the PA announcement interfered with the safety of every passenger and crewmember on board that ship. He needs to be punished accordingly. Unfortunately, he probably won't. Even if they catch him. Does Carnival bear any responsibility in this incident. Of course. But as someone else mentioned, probably about 5% of the blame. Don't kid yourselves that this could not have happened on any other cruiseline, it could. (It just seems to be that most of these "idiot" incidents occur on Carnival).
