Pier Runners Cozumel Mexico (Carnival Horizon WK: May 22nd, 2022)

[@MrAGreene23]

These are AWESOME!!!! I do not feel for these people. They have been told and told to keep up with the time!!!!!!!!!!

[@johna5563]

Yes, yes! When the cruise starts, when you’re pulling into port, and when the gates open to leave the ship! Gotta watch the time!

[@darlingjewel6938]

Going on my first carnival cruise on Monday, that makes me want to watch the pier runners

[@michaelhemingway6677]

For the life of me why people do this, you know the ship has to leave a Certain time....I'm going to be back on the ship 2 hrs or before it's time for the ship to depart.

[@johna5563]

Same! Unless it’s an excursion booked with the ship, early is always the way to be!

[@Drknnja]

If they were charged for the extra fuel, pier runners would slowly stop being a trend.

[@mercedes151]

This is hilarious I have to go on a cruise 🚢🤣🤣

[@beauhills6757]

I remember these people. I was on that cruise that week.

[@johna5563]

That’s so cool! ! My wife and I had such a great time on that cruise!

[@photodom2000]

What an example to set for your child. 'Don't worry dear, we are the most important people in the World and yes, the ship WILL wait for us. Let's not worry about all the other few thousand on board.'

[@andreagriffiths3512]

I find these videos strangely addictive. I shall def have to watch for pier runners on my next cruise. I feel for them though

[@johna5563]

My biggest fear! Getting left! I heard it’s real expensive to get back home, to the next port, and/or your luggage back with you! Just don’t get left behind! 😬😆

[@MrRibby88]

I don't feel for them at all. It is up to them to make sure they are back in time for "All Aboard"....the captain should have just left that last lady who made no effort to even walk faster.

[@marykay8587]

I saw this same ship and pier runners in another video, well the ship was late waiting for so many people, I love cruising but it irritates the hell outta me when your told BEFORE stepping off the cruise to be there BEFORE the time of departure...the captain repeats himself over and over and.....some people's children!! 🤣

[@princessmarlena1359]

Respect for those who run for the ship when late. No respect for those who stride along, taking their time. If the person is in a wheelchair or helping to carry an injured or disabled person, major respect.

[@Midwest..]

Poor kids 😬 but he'll learn not to be late anywhere again 🤔

[@arisrafa188]

These Pier Runners videos crack me up🤣 It’s even better when you watch them from the deck. It’s become a thing to do when you get back onboard 🤣 Just cheer the late crowd as they run down the pier🤣🤣🤣

[@johna5563]

It’s wild! So far Cozumel has had the best places to watch! Is there anywhere else you’ve been with a good spot for pier runners? 🛳💨

[@MrRibby88]

You cheer on the runners, but boo and shame the ones that are just walking.

[@NarnianLady]

@@MrRibby88 But what about those with health concerns, sudden running may provoke a heart attack? (I have read it happened when a guy ran too fast to catch his plane).. and yes, everyone should make every effort to be on time - except for risking your health. Better to stay behind alive than die of a sudden sprint

[@johna5563]

Thank you all for the views, great comments and continued shares! It’s been a wonderful year and I hope everyone has a great 2023 full of excitement!

[@docsavage4414]

Made this same trip on the Valor the next week. Didn't have any issues respecting what time the boat was leaving.

[@johna5563]

That’s great! Everyone watched their clocks like they were supposed too!

[@largol33t1]

The video I saw BEFORE this one was shot from another ship and I could see the stern (back) of the Horizon. So basically, this and the other video were from the SAME port at the same time! Soooo many pier runners. LMAO...

[@johna5563]

It was wild! It got real when the ship’s horn started blowing!

[@mrmartin7131]

When I went there I wasn’t playing me and the girl was back almost a hour before the ship leaves like people how can it be so hard,cell phone, watch 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@johna5563]

I know! Two days before this we had someone that was left in Ocho Rios! She ran up to the ship as it was pulling away! Cruises are fun… as long as you make it back to the ship on time… 😂

[@mrmartin7131]

@@johna5563 exactly 😂😂😂😂 we even made sure or watches and cell phones was the same as the ships 😂😂😂we wasn’t playing 🤣

[@josebasilioconcepcion4377]

I think this is the most awaited event in any cruise trip .. 😂😆

[@lonniehill3455]

In 2008 NCL, we anchored off Cozumel. Is pier new ??

[@ElloImNoodle]

They even got crew on the breeze watching the show

[@johna5563]

The show was sure entertaining! Both ships had a time watching!

[@thekellys29]

Can't believe how rusty the railings are. Never been on Carnival, so not sure if this is common.

[@ElloImNoodle]

That’s not a railing that’s something used for cleaning

[@gloriawelch3603]

The one not trying to hurry should be left.

[@tiggersdad6878]

I remember being able to visit Cozumel on a SCUBA diving trip back in 80's when there was just 1 cruise ship per week. Those were the days.

[@johna5563]

That’s awesome! What a time to live! I bet it was super quiet visiting ports then?!

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

I was in Cozumel in 86 and there was definitely more than 1 ship a week. The day we were there we were one of three ships and I know for a fact that at least one other from the same cruise line I was on called in Cozumel on a different day of the week than we did. Now the ships were a lot smaller and yes there were less of them but let's try not to make it sound like it was the Dark Ages or something.

[@tiggersdad6878]

@@ashleighelizabeth5916 We stayed in the Barracuda Hotel and were pleased to see a gallon jug of drinking water available for us in the room. Later in the week I had wandered around to the back of the hotel looking for something I guess only to come upon the maids filling those gallon jugs from a garden hose. Please refrain from lecturing me about the Dark Ages.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

@@tiggersdad6878 then get your facts straight because it's pure fantasy that Cozumel received only 1 ship a week in the 80s.

[@rah938]

My first trip to Cozumel was in ‘82. We flew, stayed in Cancun for two days so we could day trip to Chichen Itza, (highly recommended) and took the ferry over. We were there five days and two cruise liners used a much smaller pier about a mile out from the center of town. I wondered why a cruise line would stop there, as an overnight would hardly be enough time to dive the incredible reefs Cozumel was renowned for. There really wasn’t much to do in town then. Some night life, not much, a few bars and restaurants. Dive shops outnumbered any other type of business. Things sure have changed.

[@pedrozatravel]

You have no idea what happened to them to be late, I was recently on a cruise where I was the last person on board before they raised the ramp. We were driving back in a taxi on the autobahn in Germany, we had plenty of time to make it to port. Then a guy in front of us went to fast, misjudged a turn, his car exploded, and he died. That happened right in front of us, I was aware enough when I saw it happening I distracted my family. We had to wait on the side of the road until authorities came, got statements, and cleared the road. This delayed us to where we were 15 minutes past all aboard time. When I got back to the ship the cruise security director pulled me aside and gave me his "you need to be more responsible" talk. I looked him right in the eyes and said "I just saw a man lose his life today, I am terribly sorry I delayed you, but nothing you say to me right now is going to make me feel repentant." After that he stopped said "welcome back" , rest of the cruise proceeded normally.

[@ryanm4013]

When they are walking down the pier like nothing is wrong….nothing bad happened to them. In your situation, all you had to do was contact the cruise line and let them know what happened. That is common knowledge for anytime something happens while you are off the ship.

[@pedrozatravel]

@@ryanm4013 an anonymous account willing to mock people, oh the irony. What did you do magnify the video and look at their faces? I bet if you did you would see some worry on it, but you don't care because it is easier just to mock them right? As for my case, if I could have called, would that have done me any good? Cruise ship wasn't waiting for me, I just got lucky something else happened, but you probably know more about that than I do.

[@edyedith]

Once they are leaving that's it ! They will leave you.

[@johna5563]

Yes! Don’t get left behind! It was like being at a football game on this ship! Hundreds, thousands watching!

[@edyedith]

@@johna5563 😆 Lol yes it was like a football game watching it. When we go we watch the clock like a hawk and stay near the ⚓ ship. We went on a carnival approved tour in Cabo San Lucas once our tour guide insisted on taking us by a gift shop (he probably gets a cut or something for bringing us there) finally it was getting close and we had to go back the ships captain was sounding the horn over and over because they do have to wait for us if it's a carnival tour... the tour guy wasn't concerned at all we were about 15 minutes late. Crazy lol

[@2centsam927]

Honestly, all of life should run this way. This business of always late but worth the wait is so selfish, and remains uncorrected because people get away with it.

[@liliabenavides4052]

So true. Went to an event with my child. Was told if I would seat him on my kness so people who arrived late had where to sit. WTF! I mean really? We arrived early to get good seats. I gave the usher the evil eye you can bet he looked elsewhere to sit the late comers.

[@pogzillacg4501]

Can’t blame em its a lot to do there probally 💀💀💀

[@raenettwilliams5897]

They even got the babies runnning. Why would you do that to yourself? How embarrassing.

[@johna5563]

Crazy people!

[@dianewebb3343]

Nasty people. Poor children.

[@kirschrot77]

Do they then get tarred and feathered on board, would only be fair

[@rachaelramos]

Poor kiddos

[@redzoom7857]

It’s so ridiculous, and some of these people have no business running so why not get there early smh

[@lauriehable]

That last straggler could be me and it's no laughing matter. He could have COPD or need a hip replacement like me. I can only walk so fast because I can't breathe and my hip is always in constant pain so that slows me down also. People should think twice before they start throwing out rude comments and doing the Run Forest Run line I hear so often on Pier Runner videos. it is so childish and so hurtful. Have some respect for people with disabilities. It could be you someday.

[@redzoom7857]

All well and good and all the more reason they should get there on time or early and not be holding up an entire ship full of people.

[@Meela234]

People who have those physical and respiratory limitations should make arrangements to get back early enough to avoid the need to rush. I know because I can't run either due to hip pain and arthritis in both knees.

[@dianewebb3343]

Fair dos, but all the more reason to give themselves plenty of time.

[@dianewebb3343]

Is that 2 kids running too? They are the ones i feel sorry for, having thicko parents etc putting them through this shit. Diabolical.

[@Brandon-tk2rw]

cpt strikes again

[@redzoom7857]

That’s ignorant AF, cause if u’ve watched many of these videos it’s not one race being late .
