windsor26 Posted February 18, 2018 #126 Share Posted February 18, 2018 25% future cruise credit is very generous for everyone when only s percentage of the cruisers were affected. They shoulod be happy I was happy with a recent 15% future cruise given to us when we LOST A DAY of the cruise and EVERY PORT WAS CUT SHORT some by 4 hours. I wonder how they work out what they could/should give as a consolation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karoo Posted February 18, 2018 #127 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I expressed my concern about the behaviour of staff in an earlier post. Kicking people on the ground is not on. In Victoria there has been a huge effort to train and register security staff and bouncers. Part of the reason is the the red mist or whatever has seen people severely injured, and even killed (see Crown Casino case). To my mind, the staff shown to be kicking people should also be charged with assault by our Police. And the lax laws, and offenders having more rights than people in authority certainly hasn’t helped my city - Melbourne. We have increasing incidences of aggravated crimes, violent assaults etc are on the rise, backed up by statistics. Offenders are walking into supermarkets and bottle shops, brazenly stealing stuff, throwing things at the security guards and telling the guards they can do nothing and can’t touch them and how right they are. Our security staff are powerless. They can only talk. No wonder we have these thugs onboard behaving this way. They probably thought they could do as they please and behave how they do at home without any consequences.

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 18, 2018 #130 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I know a family of 2 adults and 2 children. They received $900 credit which they are happy with. They don’t have a problem cruising Carnival again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Very nice deal for them.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 18, 2018 #132 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Though has anyone heard of "Zac"? He claims to be part of the family that was disembarked. He says their family are the victims and that it was another family who got angry at their family because someone stepped on someones thong:o and didn't apologise :'). I really hope this guy is taking the piss because otherwise I think that makes the whole thing worst:( I suppose it depends on the type of thong and where it was stepped on.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiselover53 Posted February 18, 2018 #133 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I did like the quote "They called up the mechanical people from down the bottom, the big boys, to intimidate and basically do what they want.".

The_Big_M Posted February 18, 2018 #134 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I agree that once the person was restrained, laying the boot in was going too far. They need to be better than thugs. But was he restrained? He seemed to be holding someone else down; hence why I'm not judging either way. It's just not clear so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The levels don't even match:')I suspect a little imaginary license has been taken here;p It certainly has. On closer reading - it’s not that a well to do suburb. A newer area, possibly a fair distance from the city in the western or northern suburbs. You wouldn’t have bought a house like that for $750, 000k in 2011. The south eastern corridor you would have had to have paid well over a million or the two million dollar + mark or they would have had to buy a long way out. I live 20kms out in the southeastern corridor and you couldn’t even buy a newish townhouse on half a block of land for that price back in 2009/2010.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums They look like they would fit in the profile for the northern corridor. Epping, mill park, mernda. New housing estates have created security areas for like minded individuals (I'm being PC). Yes I live in the "skip" area near there. To be fair I respect the older generation of those whom immigrated to Australia with nothing but worked hard to make a home for their family here I don't respect those whom immigrated here but have no respect for others. Acceptance and respect of others is a positive personality trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esilef Posted February 19, 2018 #144 Share Posted February 19, 2018 They were talking about this on the radio tonight. A listener called up and advised that it was the whole group, the women and children as well whom were behaving badly. They were playing the security guards for days and laughing at anyone whom tried to show authority over them. The person advised that it was bad how the security were kicking the guy on the ground but everyone had had enough of them and the security guards are only human.

I suspect they are narcissistic. The type of people whom act first & cry when others retaliate. Expect to hear that they are suing carnival for millions due to their treatment.

Esilef Posted February 19, 2018 #150 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Due to the bad publicity this has caused to carnival & the cruise lines plus the video of their own staff kicking the family, I suspect that the cruise line will want this to go away and we will not hear anymore.
