GROUCHPUSS Posted June 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I was attacked by fellow passenger on the Destiny! Just returned from the 5-28-09 sailing and on the ST night I had walked up to get some pizza at about 3:30 AM for my wife and myself. While I was waiting fro the pizza and bread to bake I had drink at the back pool bar after about 10 - 15 min pizza was ready and I was returning to my room and I walked up on 3 young mid 20's drunk men 1 of which was urinating on the wall outside of my room. I will not go into many details here but lets just say they where not happy that someone challenged them on what they were doing and that I was going to call security on them. That is when I was Physically assaulted, they must of thought they could scare me off before security arrived, well they were wrong I was not going anywhere! After a few mins they realized maybe they bit off more that they could chew they ran off to their room which was great for me I knew just where they went. Security finally showed up went to both rooms took statements and pictures I did end up with a good shiner but the other guy ended getting removed from the ship on his very 1st morning plus at least a $300.00 fine for not stopping at a foreign port. I have not returned home yet so I can not post any pics yet. I will as soon as I return. I do have more details to post on how Security treated me that I will post later do not have the time now.

meluvtogocruise Posted June 2, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Geeez! I'm glad you were brave enough to confront them and also glad you weren't harmed any more than you were. This just enforces my thinking that I should not roam the halls all by my lonesome late int he evening. What if they had been confronted by a woman? Well, I be watching for the rest of the story... Again, glad you're ok! mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobster71 Posted June 2, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I am so sorry you got attacked. Thank you for warning us. It just goes to prove to not let your guards down just because you are on vacation. The ship is just like a little city. Mostly good folks but always have that 1 or 2 that ruins it for the whole lot. That is why we set rules for our kids and have a curfew for them even while on vacations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Sorry that happened to you and congratulations on standing up for what's right. Now I don't want everyone to take a stand and face harm but since you were ready and willing good for you. But be careful a lot of the youth have not been properly brought up by their parents and can be very dangerous. I hope the youths you faced learn from their mistakes and grow up.

donaldsc Posted June 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Does the fact that you were on the Destiny have anything to do with the story? If you were at a hotel in a major city, the same thing could have happened? DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tximprov Posted June 2, 2009 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Bravo for challenging them and making the rest of the voyage safer for everyone else. Hopefully, Carnival will flag their names and not allow them on any other CCL ship. Unless Donald is on that cruise, since he finds the bahavior acceptable since it could have happened and any hotel somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplmac Posted June 2, 2009 #13 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Those were not 'fellow passengers' -those were animals. Only animals urinate wherever. Perhaps they were drunk animals? They'd pretty much have to be drunk to be malfunctioning in that anti-social manner.. .......................... So great that you caught them, did something about it and in the end they got kicked of the ship. Well done Carnival! No animals allowed on board - unless you're a guide-dog for a blind person! .

cmjb4ever Posted June 2, 2009 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I don't think Carnival's fare has anything to do with the boys' behavior. There are just as many ignorant well-to-do, as there are ignorant poor. I'm sorry that happened to you and hopefully Carnival treated you well in the process.

The fact that it happened on Destiny is part of the whole report. It certainly won't affect my selecting the ship for a future cruise if the opportunity comes up.

bcs819 Posted June 2, 2009 #19 Share Posted June 2, 2009 They weren't animals They were trash. Another example of why Carnival needs to increase their fare. the worst behaved passengers were ever saw were on Princess. It doesn't have to do with the fare, it has to do with the individual. I shouldn't have to pay more for my vacation so scum can't afford to take one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDMan Posted June 2, 2009 #20 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I'm glad that you are ok and that you stood up to them. And kudos to Carnival for kicking them off.

jonesbk Posted June 2, 2009 #22 Share Posted June 2, 2009 They weren't animals They were trash. Another example of why Carnival needs to increase their fare. So please don't tell me that the only folks who can afford to cruise with these "lower" fares are "trash". My wife and I NEVER would have been introduced to cruising had it not been for these "LOWER" fares that seem to attract all this "TRASH". Frankly, I am appalled that you or anyone could even make a statement along those lines. If you think that it is because of the low fares, by all means, you are more than welcome to go cruise another line at a 200% difference..........

You certainly cannot control 'who' books on your ship, but you sure as hell can make sure that if someone shouldn't be on there that they get tossed off.
