I had the same experience back in June 22 with that same bartender. I just sat there patient as he**. A "big spender" that had been there for a while buying a bunch of rounds for his family noticed and got his attention for me, he also gave me a drink while i waited. The bartender kept bragging to his colleagues about the tips he was getting. I honestly think he was giving special treatment under the belief that black people don't tip. I wont go into where i think he is from, because they do sometimes have a bias. You guys are from NYC so you should catch my drift. IYKYK.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

That’s such a same

[@arnitapalmer4886]

I remember him. He just mad. Personally I went back to Margaritaville restaurant ask for a manager who walked back with me and told him to serve me. The look on his face 😂. I just smiled got my drink and walked away no tip like don't play with me dude. 😁

[@sissimpson]

Thank you! Skipping Margaritaville until someone can confirm this guy is gone.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@RiK_G]

I had the same treatment on the boat at one of the bars. I remembered the lady was from Jamaica because she was on another boat and did the same thing she did on this boat. It took for an another dude to walk up and ask if I was served. I tipped dude $20 cash and she looked at me like 😮 and I looked at her like 🙄

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes assuming we don’t tip is an L for them

[@thrillz55]

I’ve never commented before but I just had to on this occasion. As someone from Turks and Caicos, let me apologise for the behaviour of the guy mentioned in the video. We are a warm, welcoming people and this guy does not represent all of us and I’m so sorry you had such an experience at Margaritaville. I do hope this video is seen by those in authority at the cruise port in Grand Turk so that the bartender in question can be disciplined accordingly. Please don’t allow this occurrence to ruin your entire perspective on Grand Turk. Continue to do what you do! As a cruise lover myself your videos keep me very entertained!

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

We have been to Turks and Caicos before and know the people there are very very nice! We will be back soon, but not Margaritaville lol

[@Shezadiva4]

I experienced a similar situation in the Bahamas pre-Covid from several Black men and said I’d never go back. But nah…in 2022, I’m calling folks out on the spot. We deserve to be treated equitably.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Smh

[@MomDocTravels]

🤣😂 "don't be appetizer shamed" I love you Jazzy!! You and Rich keep me laughing!!!!🤣🤣😂😂

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

😭😭😭

[@AnonyMous-nl7ig]

Everyone aware of his discriminatory behavior should flood M'ville and the cruise ship(s) with complaints...He does not belong there.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes this is the 3rd KZbin video about it so I’m sure it will be seen

[@dazzleheights]

Thank you Rich and jazzy for letting us know about Marganville we are going there on a cruise but we are not going to stop there!😳

[@MyFullFiguredLife]

Oh I would’ve made a scene huntyyy. Unacceptable. I’m happy you guys didn’t let him mess up your day.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

🤦🏾‍♀️

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Thank you!

[@helloclarice116]

My cousin and I had an amazing time in Grand Turk. We got off the cruise ship, met and hung out with some really cool locals on the beach, and then went into town to eat, and met more amazing people. Sometimes it’s best to get away from the tourist traps. Grand Turk is small enough to roam around and be back to the ship well within time. Sorry this happened to you guys.

[@MsJonesy]

Thanks for putting out this video. You saved a lot of people from future disappointment.

[@gettosnickerz]

Had this same guy as a bartender in June of this year. He was very rude. Not only did he constantly ignore me and people in my party but he would constantly “forget about us” And even told someone in my party that he did not want “our money” and another that we were gonna need more money for him before he even knew the drink order. He had no problems serving any and everyone else around us even serving them multiple times before addressing any of my party.

[@Tiffanysharmin]

We had the same issue at the bar closer to the beach. I literally had to ask the bartender why she was skipping us. She LEGIT kept serving ppl that were right next to us. And then would move onto the other side. And they all were white. The guy next to me finally said no they were waiting before me... I'll NEVER go back.

[@TrippingTexans]

Margaritaville Gran Turk...avoid...got it!! And Jazzy said, "Get out my appetizer business!!" LOL!! Great vlog y'all!

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

You got it! Lol

[@authenticallykyle]

So unfortunate we have to treat each other better no matter what country we go to, sorry you guys have to go thru this 😢

[@shopper5969]

So sorry y’all had to experience unnecessary customer service on your vacation. Glad y’all enjoyed the rest of your day. ❤️❤️

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

We still had a great day! Thank you!

[@margaretharmon7485]

Oh wow thanks for sharing, because we were thinking about going to margaritaville in April when we sail to Grand Turks👎

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey Rich and Jazzy. Oooh. Love Margaritaville. Huge pool. Great shopping at least when I was there last in 2016. Yesss. Did see this on Travel Spree. Very unfortunate and disrespectful. That’s some bs with Vanessa too. 🤦‍♀️. I wouldn’t even want the drink after 10-15 minutes and I wouldn’t trust him making my drink. 😡. Glad you didn’t let it spoil your day. Dj Cue in the house. MDR tonight. Great fashion show. Deck party💃🏼🕺🙌🏼. Thanks for sharing guys and see you next video. 🛳

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes such a turn off

Yes we are hearing Jacks Shack is the spot, gotta check it out

[@lifewithtonic2173]

The fashion had me laughing. Love your vlogs😊

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Thank you!

[@SIGCruiser]

Can't believe that service. Grand Turk is one of my favorite ports and maybe that's because I've never been to Margaritaville. I always go down to Jack's Shack and have a great time. Love the fashion show!

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes our times in Grand Turk were much better in the past, won’t be back to that Margaritaville

[@margaretlogan8233]

Hi yes that wasn't cool at all and I wouldn't go back either. Those stuffed mushrooms looked good. Loved the fashion show 😊❤️

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Thank you Margaret!

[@MyCruisingFamily]

The folks did their thing on the FlowRider! Not my thing either, but that was cool to watch! Good to know that there's that baby-friendly beach-type area! Over an hour to get a drink?!?! Wow! That lack of service was disgusting! Thank you guys for sharing 'cause if we return to Turks & Caicos again, we won't be giving that Margaritaville our business.

[@Seaneeskreationz]

I've been to Margaritaville before and we had a great time. I'm sad that you guys had that experience. If I had never been before and I watched this video I would not have gone. The stuffed mushrooms, is something I probably would have liked, it looked delicious.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes we saw many have a good time there but we won’t be returning there

[@choppedandcruised]

Oh wow that is really horrible! Sorry you guys had to experience that terrible service 😢. It actually makes sense now though. Sherik went to get drinks and it took a really long time, so maybe this is what happened to him too… that pumpkin soup looked delish though! Also chefs kiss on the fashion show!

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes smh

Yes included! 😂

[@cindynelson992]

Hi guys! Just watched this video and you need to write to corporate of that chain of hotel and let them know what this jerk did to you by not serving you but serving everyone else around you-no ma’am! Call corporate of margaritaville and complain because you’re right I believe I also watched travel spree when this happened to them. Don’t let this go. I think the other channel announced his name on their video. The higher ups won’t know this is going on unless you bring their attention to it. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior! So sorry for y’all-I would be mad as heck! Love your videos -thank you for doing them. ❣️

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes that’s the plan! Thank you!

[@angelamartin1147]

I went to that place years ago and service was very slow then too.

[@snicole1022]

I had a cabana at Margaritaville. After 20 mins and being skipped I asked for help. The person said someone else had to help me. I waited 20 more mins for them to come. She wasn't nice either. I didn't appreciate the service either so I didn't spend any money. One of the guy waiters tried to be helpful but at that point I was over the area.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Aww sorry to hear that. That Margaritaville really has some of the worst service

[@GracefullyMissJC]

Y’all looking good there! ❣️

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

We had the same thing happen to us Last yr. The crazy thing is the pool bar wasn't full. He just never gave me eye contact

[@angeladarocha2258]

OMG so sorry that you had this bad experience, sure hope that you had a conversation with Carnival Cruise lines to talk to that bar's manager. Thank you for this as I plan on taking this cruise in the near future, re-thinking now, why are they treating people that look like them like this??. Maybe you reminded him of his ex girl that left him by the way side in the deep area of the Turks... Lawd, it will be your own kind sometimes. Thank you for sharing!

It's amazing how some black people, treat other black people🙄....He's just a self hater ..very sad to see that 😒, loved the fashion show

[@49rjohnson]

We were on Celebrity for an Alaskan Cruise and when we went to get spa information we had a similar experience. The black staffers in the Spa made sure they took care of the white passengers before getting to us even though we had been waiting longer. After taking care of the white passengers they finally acknowledged us. The staffer assumed we never had spa services and proceeded to provide inaccurate information regarding skin care for black skin. When I corrected her and told her my dermatologist and esthetician would disagree she appeared to be surprised. I shared with her how we waited while she put others in front of us only to get inaccurate information. I advised her can’t judge a book by its cover and it was a missed opportunity for her. Perhaps she needed to step up her game beyond handling Caucasian skin. We left. One of the reasons I was hesitant to do another Celebrity cruise. I mean our green spends like everybody else.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Wow

[@lulubelle2009]

Oh nooo if the rest of your cruise was good don't let the poor ignorant behaviour of one employee deter you from a brand. I was on the Celebrity Infinity out of Port Canaveral in September and I had a great time! I'm trying to put together my coins to return in March 2023 ❤️
