As a black woman, I don't feel you were too harsh at all. You were honest and truthful. This event would have ruined the cruise for me too. I can't stand the smell of weed and would hate to smell it while relaxing on my balcony. It's sad that now all cruise lines need to have more intensive screening prior to boarding but I would approve of it to prevent something like this from happening. The fact that people can't go 3-7 days without weed is an addiction and that needs to be addressed.

[@SeanJ2A]

100% agreed. If you can't go a week without weed you need serious help. That means there's mental stress/anxiety, demons or whatever else your battling that might need more than a plant to cure.

[@katyburch6593]

@@SeanJ2A If you've got to have it, bring gummies then you are not inflicting the smell on others.

[@JennyCruiseCommander]

Exactly. Add to that the families that had small children onboard - they definitely did not want their little ones inhaling the pot. Same for older folks especially those with breathing type issues.

[@MidRiseLiving]

yeah, I was on the cruise and was part of the Facebook group he mentioned in the video. People were trying to make it a race thing in the discussion which they don't realize shows THEIR true colors. Being ratchet / ghetto isn't a race. It can apply to any race who wants to be in this "party" mode while smoking out. My wife and I hung out with a few from the travel group and it's not like they all knew each other or condoned each other's behavior. There were even people within the travel group shaking their heads and being annoyed from the party crowd.

[@grrriallen7192]

[@JennyCruiseCommander]

I was on this sailing, and everything you’re saying is very accurate. It was just horrible and disgusting what the people in the group were doing. 600 people in that group - approximately 300 permanently kicked off the ship in the ports. Just completely deplorable. It started Day One with the aroma of pot in many areas onboard (and went on all week long), and then their behavior just got worse all week long.

I’m recently on board the beautiful Oddesy of the Seas for Royal Caribbean. This is a transatlantic cruise from Rome ti Miami USA. The vacation started of great but I had an experience that I never thought would happen. While in Rome I mixed up the dates to board the ship. Once I arrived at the cruise port me and my brother found out we missed the ship! Because I watch this channel I had something to refer to what to do. Now Royal did everything in their power to make sure that I boarded when I was supposed to. And I have to give a special thanks to the port authority workers because they went the extra mile to help us catch the ship. The people from Royal thought the next chance was for us to catch the ship in Spain. However the port authority personnel found out the ship was then stationed in La Pienza which was 3 hour drive and was a possibility to make it. Me and my brother did catch the ship and boarded the ship. We did miss out on the first day of the cruise but we are feeling grateful to the people that stepped up and helped us get on board the ship.

[@losfp]

Ah that's a real shame that you missed the first day - we are currently on this cruise (Odyssey Of the Seas, Civitavecchia to Fort Lauderdale). At least you got on eventually.

Based on what I’ve heard about this, I would not have wanted to have my family on this sailing. Race and music genre aside, what it boils down to is people who have not been taught how to behave in public. My mom was a single mother of four back in the 70’s and she worked her butt off. But she still found time to teach us how to behave properly and be responsible, respectful human beings. Apparently, there are a lot of moms out there who failed at instilling basic values in their children.

[@dheyes803]

It is so true, this group of young people and many others do NOT know how to behave in public. Some parents have let their children take the lead of the household. These children are left to raise themselves and this is obviously not working.

[@slimpickens01]

Spare me the BS! In a SUBURBAN town outside of Atlanta a white owned restaurant grew tired of parents allowing their kids to misbehave in public so they simply add a fee those customers bill. Hint its a predominantly white customer base.

It’s like the artistry and musicianship is mostly gone. Rock and roll died a long time ago so I guess nothing good lasts forever.

[@timz.4000]

I just moved to a different area. Most of the people out of Galvaston are from Texas and we're pretty chill no matter what color you are. This group was loud and rude. I personally didn't see anyone get kicked off but I did notice on the 6th night it was really quiet and we were finally able to enjoy the solarium and hot tub.

We were on Allure the week before, it was the country music festival and even that crowd created a noticeable difference in the Vibe. I think it is more about the fact that these group cruises bring on many new cruisers who have a different expectation is all. Wish they would let you know these groups will be there before you book!

[@candynickel]

Absolutely. I have been in situations where a similarly-minded groups really shift the vibe. And not just on a cruise. We went to Nashville one weekend and a group of associated moms (I am a mom, but the these were moms who had an air of superiority due to the type of association they belonged to) were lining the streets and bars judging everyone who was dancing or having fun - dirty looks, loud comments about dress. It made every where we went feel dead and dreary - not at all like Nashville. We found a old hole in the wall they would never go in to and had a much better time.

Every person booked should receive a notice if there is any group over a certain number. That way, people have the information and can decide if that's the type of crowd they want around their families.

As long as they overlook the rules because of money, you’ll have problems. Carnival uses drug sniffing dogs now,so that crowd is like, let’s go on royal, they don’t enforce anything. As long as money is all the cruise line wants, the problems will follow. I watched a mall near Pittsburgh slowly deteriorate because they let the problems continue unabated. People no longer felt safe going there. The mall was once second to the mall of America. It is now vacant and due to torn down. Just google century 3 mall. It’s truly a shame, but it is proof of what can happen when chasing money is more important that anything else. How many customers did Royal lose forever because of a horrible experience.

My wife and I were booked on this very cruise. It was our yearly "Anniversary Cruise" and was to be our third time on the Allure Of The Seas. However, my wife ended up being admitted to the hospital a few days prior to embarkation and we were not able to go. From the sounds of things, I'm glad we missed it. We had sailed on the Allure twice... November of last year (its very first sailing from Galveston) and May of this year. Both of those cruises were wonderful. We're already booked on the Harmony Of The Seas, which has since replaced the Allure in Galveston.

I am on the Allure right now, just talked to a crew member. He advised that there were 750 people in the group and 300 got thrown off before they ever left the dock. They were all at the pool smoking weed and it was also found in a lot of their luggage. The Rapper and the rest were allowed to stay on board.

Do you think for one minute anyone of them thought about other cruisers. Definitely not! It was all about them taking over the ship. My cousin was on that cruise with his wife and kids said it was like a gangster rap cruise. It ruined it for him and his whole family. They were loud disrespectful rude and broke a ton of rules.

I think this applies to many types of group cruises, for some reason some of the attendees think it’s all rules off because it’s a special event for them. Now when booking I ask if there’s any large special groups or large events happening and so far I’ve been lucky missing them.

[@leesmoak3125]

Great idea. We have always cruised Royal Carribbean until lately. Our last cruise in May 2023 had many unruly folks. We avoided areas but I hate doing that since I know what it is like to be able to venture anywhere and enjoy oneself. We are going to try Princess and go to the Mediterranean to see if it changes the crowd. So many now get free cruises in the Caribbean from gambling that it changes the dynamics of people on board. And I wondered if they don’t tip much because the cruise staff seem to be less gracious or happy on Royal Caribbean. I have no idea really what it is, but I don’t enjoy cruising with them anymore to the disappointment of my husband.

Thank you for your comments and perspective. This was mine and my husband’s first cruise and we had a great time! We must be oblivious, because we never smelled pot. Granted, we were so busy all day long we were too tired to go out drinking at night (we are a retired couple) It was pretty hard to miss the group in question on the first day because of their red & yellow t-shirts and joked with many in the group about being incognito the rest of the cruise. Being as it was our first cruise, we checked to see what was allowed on board. I thought RC was pretty up front about drugs not being allowed, although you do need to read the information that is sent and I’ll sure a lot of people don’t bother. I’m sorry some people had such a terrible time. 😢 The question is, who is responsible for people’s actions? I was taught I am responsible for my own behavior.

[@juanitaquinonez1483]

Appreciate your unbiased perspective

[@jaklg7905]

I don't understand the mentality of people that smoke weed. Everyone knows that it smells like skunk and that most people that don't partake can not stand that smell. It is beyond selfish and rude to subject others to that. If you can't go a week without your drugs, then you need help.

[@ricktaylor5397]

But then the same can be said about tobacco products.

[@officialmaneater3873]

Tobacco and alcohol are the same

[@VargasFamTravels]

Omg stfu , literally beer heads and tobacco puffer's smell worse. But sure you mentality is narrow minded.

[@birdsinparadise3113]

I'd be pssd if I thought I was going to be on a non smoking trip and I don't care what kind of smoke it is. Even from a BBQ. But I'm smoke sensitive, allergic reactions

[@jaklg7905]

@@ricktaylor5397 Yes, and people should be able to go a week without a cigarette. Too many let addiction run their lives. But most smokers are a bit more considerate and stick to smoking in the smoking section. Clearly that wasn't the case for these weed smokers. When you can't control yourself and feel like you HAVE to smoke, even in places that you are not supposed to, then you have a serious problem.

[@cydkriletich6538]

Just gotta say…First, thank you for this info, Jay. You tell it like it is, no apologies! But…as a 74 yr. old woman who was a little flower girl/hippie in the S.F. Bay Area back in the late 1960’s and 70’s, and saw my share of drug users and potheads, I can honestly say that not once did I see anyone loaded on pot become belligerent. In fact, I’d rather smell marijuana and believe all I’ve got around me are mellow potheads, then ever be around alcoholics, speed freaks, crack heads, and that lot! And the cruise lines love it when people drink Al hook. Add that to other drugs, and you’ve got big trouble! I’m guessing that just because the smell of marijuana was evident, there were a lot heavier drugs and a lot of alcohol being used on that cruise! It’s really a shame, because no doubt there were some folks onboard, perhaps even those who were part of the lager group, who were first time cruisers and, after what went down, they may never want to cruise again. On a specific cruise we took, as we and hundreds of others waited for the passengers of the previous cruise to debark, we found out why we were not able to board until hours after we should have: the cruise that had just docked had been on Super Bowl weekend, and a lot of the fans of one of the teams had created chaos and trouble, including fights and..guns!! Yes guns!! When the ship docked, the local police boarded and busted A LOT of those fans. Of course, the crew was told not to talk about it, but we did have one crew member tell us it had been just awful and she felt so bad for the other passengers. I’m not sure there’s any real way to prevent these scenes from happening. However, I do know that from then on out, whenever we would talk to a cruise line about taking one of their cruises, I always asked if there were going to be any big groups and who they were…and steered clear of those with large groups!

October 15 to 22?? I was on that cruise and all over I didn't see a thing. Worst 2 things rain storm at Honduras and a ruckus group at hot tub in Solarium that seemed way wasted early before noon. Yes they looked like new school hip-hop crowd. But that was it. Maybe wrong cruise date. And by the way I was all over the ship and partying until late. No smell of ganja, maybe it was on some floors? I was 8th floor balcony.

It’s too bad that other cruisers can’t find out that there’s going to be a big group cruise onboard before they book. No matter what kind of group it is. I have scene this at a smaller scale and can see it ruining for others and it can take 10 or 20 out of 600 to make them all look bad

I think that a lot of boats are suffering with this issue. My last cruise was a general cruise and the guy next to me was smoking MJ in his room and clearly the room attendant smelled it and nothing was done. He was a middle aged man in the room and as long as the smell didn't invade my room I wasn't bothered. All boats should just station drug dogs on board if they are that bothered by this.

[@robinandhismom]

I wanted to add my 2 cents worth (with inflation that's worth zero). Anyway, this is not just planned large groups. My first cruise last year out of New Orleans was eye opening. I was with my bestie of 42 years. We are down right lovers of all music and dancing. We found out real quick that a large group of friends/family were on this cruise together. They did everything entourage style. Everywhere they showed up, they took over...literally. The worst was the dance club. At 11, all of us cruisers of a whole variety of sizes, shapes, and colors were out dancing and singing. They came in, got their drinks, and insinuated themselves onto everyone sitting along the bar along the floor. Then they stood around the whole dance floor like security guards. Then the rest of the group took over the floor and music. The only way in was a little slot over by the dj. It was truly odd. This happened the 1st 2 nights. We finally decided to just go make fools of our own selves out by the pool dance little spot. Night 4 we went because it was supposed to be oldies night. At 9...it was not. I don't know why it is okay. One group of 25/30 people changed a whole cruise for hundreds of others. I avoid that ship now since that music venue is apparently off limits.
