I Got Into An Argument With A Passenger On My Last Cruise

[@SandNSurf]

That guy was completely out of line. Very rude & shameful. If he wanted quiet he should have stayed home.

[@MultiMattman68]

The guy was probably drunk

[@blissfuljoy6049]

Maybe, maybe not. I feel like I'd have to be there.

[@lightwarrior432]

Agreed! Why even say ANYTHING?!? J was by himself at that point. I could see if the whole group had moved to that bar, but it was only him. Some peoples children 🙄😤

[@TheQueenBInChargeDiva]

Facts!

[@beckee6282]

I think it’s ruder to be obnoxiously loud, but maybe that’s just my opinion. Drunk people often don’t see how disruptive and annoying they appear. Being around loud, drunk people when you’re sober is one of the most annoying scenarios to be stuck in. I feel sympathy for him because he tried to move away from them. He didn’t say anything to them until he became frustrated with the situation. Just because you’re on a booze cruise doesn’t mean everybody else is. He shouldn’t have to hide out in his room like a hermit to have a bit of peace. There’s being a bit loud and then there’s being obnoxious and annoying

[@ItsGoingDao]

You responded better than most people would. It’s like stalking someone and claiming self-defense 😆

[@deeeti6576]

You are absolutely right. I love peace and quiet, but I recognize that I need to find an appropriate location on the ship (For instance the library or my room) so as not to infringe my likes on other vacationing guests. A bar , lido deck, etc is the wrong environment to expect people to be quiet. That man’s expectation was selfish and unfair. You handled it well

[@lexih.5790]

[@KathleenBaker-l1f]

Something similar happened to us,while eating and laughing in the Local on NCL. An older couple was sat beside us and asked if 'we could keep it down, they're trying to eat!' We were laughing about a waiter at the last port that did magic and 'spilled' drinks. I told the old gentleman to 'book a cruise at the retirement home if he wants peace and quiet,this is a cruise ship,not a morgue.' Im 65 and hate older people that are wet blankets.😁

[@tigergreg8]

Imagine getting angry about noise while being on vacation. They were in a restaurant for goodness sake. I would have said, if they want quiet, eat in your cabin next time. Said nicely that is.

[@BhappyD]

@@tigergreg8Especially on a cruise ship of all places! When I picture solitary, quiet, secluded and relaxing vacations, a cruise ship packed with thousands of people (most of which are incredibly intoxicated a lot of the time) is the exact OPPOSITE of that! It’s insane to go to just a regular restaurant and expect a quiet environment, but a CRUISE?!? I don’t understand people. I really don’t.

[@just.R.A.]

“Sir, unless you own this ship, please take your negative attitude elsewhere.” I have sound sensitivity but that is MY problem. When I’m in public, I wear headphones for my comfort. Because the world does not need to adjust for MY comfort.

[@CursedEarthPizza]

Same here. I can occasionally get overstimulated but I recognize that is MY problem. I can choose to go somewhere else, or go back to my room to unwind if I need to.

So he’s on a 4 day sunshine booze cruise and people are on the pool deck for sail away, drinking, laughing, being noisy and exuberant! Wow who’d have thought it!! What was he expecting? A group silent reflection session? You showed way more patience and courtesy than I’d have mustered. Once he came back to have a second go he’d have got two short words out of me.

OMGawd….I had this same issue but with my “Best” friend on a cruise last week. I was having a great time laughing and chatting with a couple and once back in the room my “friend” decided she needed to check me that I was too loud, having too much fun being expressive and my 2 glasses of wine intoxicated me too much! Ok needless to say I’m DONE cruising or EVER traveling with her, but I was also shocked and offended. But since we were in the same cabin I said my peace and begin doing me more!! I 💯 percent agree that people confuse their home life and vacation time as well as whom that can say what too. I’m not your spouse nor kid! Again last time I’ll travel with her! My mistake…lesson learned.

[@DRMTTJ]

Jay, I'm so sorry that you had to put up with this. Thankfully, this "man" is in the minority of those who act as he did. I am 76 yrs. old and don't especially care for the LOUD cruises. I'm not talking about people being loud from time to time, that's life, I'm speaking of those cruises where it appears the entire ship is a party and there is NOWHERE to go (except your room....perhaps) to have LESS noise. If I want quiet, I go to the mountains or maybe a secluded beach. If it gets too loud for you, you just get up and MOVE. No need to create a scene. I'm so sorry, just keep being you!

[@jerseyfinest7152]

😂 That loser knew exactly who you were! You're better than me because I would have told him to take one guess at what I was thinking and he can go do that to find his peace and quiet. 😂 I'm just not as mature and calm as you are Jay. 😂 Kudos to you. I had to clean up this comment because it got flagged. 👍

[@Tirani2]

All of the cruises I've gone on I've gone for relaxation, spending that sweet sweet money at the spa, the occasional excursion, and in between? Peace and quiet. I could always find a quiet spot in the shade to curl up with a book on my cruises. Didn't matter what was going on with everybody else, there's always quiet corner where you can get a drink and watch the sunset, or read a book, or write in your journal, or just take a little time. Guys like that have a chip on their shoulder, and the fact that he came back and sat down right next to you proves it. Protect your peace my friend.

Nowadays, you don’t know who you’re dealing with and making all the fuss and if you stand up and tell him what you think you may get stabbed shot or thrown overboard, just remember folks always choose your battles and there’s always a place you can walk off to.

[@tod3msn]

A cruise is a public place where drinking and dancing and conversation and music is all happening at once. There are places in the cruise like your room where you can meditate or chill or pray. Many cruises have a chapel room so go there. However, unless this is a "transcendental meditation cruise" or a "spiritual cruise" you are going to encounter lively behavior so deal with it! You were wise in moving on because clearly the man arguing with you was mental in some ways and seemingly has issues so best getting out of the way of nutcases. Moving away from him was a wise.

Does that man seriously not understand how much of a buzzkill he was being?!?! Last month I, and many of family members took our very first cruise ever on Royal's Allure of the Seas. Massive freaking ship with a ton to do and see, despite its soon pending remodel. We all had an absolute blast! Everyone else on board appeared to be greatly enjoying themselves too. Not once did I ever feel I was stuck to deal with a particularly obnoxious group. In fact, there were even some rowdy kids on board, but I'd see them once and pretty much never again. There was never a shortage of opportunity to go find my peace when I needed it. I can't even imagine justifying that man's actions. Whenever I saw people having a good time, I admired it and sometimes fed off of their energy and shared a laugh or a moment with them. We are all on vacation making the best of our time, lighten the hell up! If you want to relax outside of your room, walk the ship till you find a quiet enough place and set up camp! Or wait till nighttime where the opportunity is plentiful!

Sounds like someone was expecting something different and I would think that cruise was his last.
