shofer Posted August 31, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Does anyone know about a passenger being put off Solstice during a Mediterranean cruise d/t an altercation in the casino w/another passenger? There is another cruise website where this is getting hot and heavy attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightydays Posted August 31, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Do you know when that happened? We just got back from our Solstice cruise on Saturday (8/29) (it was heavenly!!), and while I did not hear that someone was "ejected," during our bridge tour there was a report of an incident, but no details.

Rysyonok Posted August 31, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2009 There was a threat earlier on this site about it. Something about 2 passengers arguing in a casino. I think it took place on 8/13 and I think both got disembarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was a thread earlier but Walt did delete it due to the lack of facts and it was more like a rumor of the "did you hear what happened" kind of thing...... Remember the old game "Operator"? That was when many of us were small....someone started a story and by the time it got to the last person it was 360 degrees different than it began....

It was a true story, Lois, I did some research on it but unfortunately you are not permitted to refer or link to a competing web site. Only one side of the story was presented however as Celebrity refused to comment on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 1, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi Don:)oh, ok thanks for the point of information. I guess I could google it, but to be honest with you I probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxm2254 Posted September 1, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2009 On the Soltice Aug 7-17th. Heard discussion of one man being put off following a bar fight. No other details were discussed other than he was put into some form of custody at the time of the fight and disembarked by order of the captain the next morning.

Ommadawn Posted September 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I never thought about it, but I guess that these cruise ships do have a "brig" somewhere on board. :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shipshape sam Posted September 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I never thought about it, but I guess that these cruise ships do have a "brig" somewhere on board. :) :) :) Guess the cruise lines don't show that room on the ship's schematic! Wonder if it has a view? If it gets out, some people may try to book it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shofer Posted September 1, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted September 1, 2009 According to the story that was posted, it was the passenger who was ejected telling his story to the person who posted it. There was liquor involved and some nasty words between passengers in the casino. The person (American) was told to stay in his cabin for the rest of the night. The next day he was called to a meeting w/ship's officers who told him he had to leave the ship but his family could stay. The other passenger who supposedly provoked him, remained on board. The man was trying to sue Celebrity for all the costs incurred while he flew from port to port, staying in hotels to remain w/his family for the rest of the vacation. There was some speculation that there was discrimination against the American passenger who was a "nobody" and the (maybe) Russian passenger (who traveled w/a bodyguard) who was a "somebody". Unless the person involved decided to post something on this board than we only have seoncd-third hand info about the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourlol Posted September 1, 2009 #14 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was also on this sailing. In fact I heard rumour that two people were 'removed'. One relates to the incident referred to above; the other I believe was a gentleman who was persistently rude to staff... and was ejected fairly early on.

If that was policy here, every thread here should be removed....:rolleyes: Ok..maybe I worded it wrong?:rolleyes: I just know I read the post Walt had put on here and I was under the impression the incident had missing parts to it........and instead of having everyone guessing what happened he chose to close the thread. I was just posting what I thought I had read....maybe I read it wrong.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted September 2, 2009 #20 Share Posted September 2, 2009 HUH???? Removed due to lack of facts? If that was policy here, every thread here should be removed....:rolleyes: It was removed PRIMARILY because the OP and others used links to another cruise board which is forbidden. Lois is correct in that at the time there was some question as to whether the whole story was bogus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreative03 Posted September 2, 2009 #22 Share Posted September 2, 2009 A passenger was removed with assistance from local Egyptian Authorities from the Equinox on 8/29 in Alexandria. Caused a 2hr delay in departure from port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
