World Record: Cruise Ship Pier Runners Heckled By Others

World record scene right here. Pier runners are cruise ship guests who are late returning to the ship at a port of call. They are at risk of the ship leaving them so they are often seen running back to the ship if they are late. Here is Royal Caribbean, mariner of the seas in Nassau, as we watch all of the late cruise guests. This was a Bahamas cruise, and it is not often to see pier runners, but when you do see them sometimes it's funny to hear the crowd cheering them. Watch until the end to see if we make the record and witness the heckling from fellow cruisers. This is one adventure you don't want to miss! #worldrecordpierrunners #pierrunnersinnassau #cruiseshipadventures #pierrunner #PierRunners #Royalcaribbean #MarinerOfTheSeas #Nassau #pierrunnersnassau
Must see this hilarious parody song with pier runners
• Cruise Ship Left Them!...

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Amazing how many pier runners this time. We had an early all aboard. That and a late shore excursion.

[@LorettaYike-nh9ol]

Ships should not wait at all. For those who disregard time

[@skeletor9121]

I wouldn’t jump to any conclusion. Maybe all of these late passengers were on a Royal Caribbean sponsored excursion where the ship must wait.

[@brigettehall6316]

Thats exactly what happened....we do not recommend the excursion to Pearl Island ! 😂

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Yeah after a while I realized that and did mention it.

[@marciar8909]

Agree!

[@Dusterbugless]

That’s what I thought. They usually won’t wait

[@dogsareme100]

If that were the case why would they not come in a big group like escorted instead of on their own. This would A keep people from cheering and jeering and B keep people from going out on their own after the excusion and the ship having to wait for people being late because of their own fault and thinking they will wait for us because we were through the ship.

[@katehebner6964]

Same thing happened to me when I was in Nassau. A large group of us went on a royal caribbean excursion and we hit a bad current which stopped us from getting back in time. I was horrified and they booed us all

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

In this case like yours it was ship excursion back late so they waited. The people still love to jeer and cheer.

[@chachapabon6604]

Wow

[@SteveTempleton-yh9oz]

Not pier runners if it was a ship excursion that came in late

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

@@SteveTempleton-yh9oz yeah I realized that at the end but I think the first several were on their own.

[@sharonmenzel7791]

They should of announced what happened, they can’t leave it wasn’t their fault

[@promaster185]

And That is EXACTLY why you should book Excursions through the Cruise Line.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@arribaficationwineho32]

They did!

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

@arribaficationwineho32 yes. The ones at the end turned out to be a later arriving ship excursion but many were still afraid of being left lol.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

@arribaficationwineho32 yeah that last group did

[@ladyplum4851]

That's why we always use the ship excursions, guaranteed not to be left behind if late.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

That’s the best advantage- no worries.

[@eadecamp]

Us too. More expensive but worth the peace of mind.

[@lamofonguera7807]

I think the ship can leave u in some cases but the cruise line is responsible for getting u back on the ship. That’s why I’ll never do a private excursion. Way too risky to have my vacation ruined.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

@@lamofonguera7807 not a bad plan.

[@likesbycece]

If they were on an excursion booked with the cruise line the ship has to wait for them .

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Right. That’s why we waited. There was one ship excursion late getting back. But the first several were on their own. They got lucky lol.

[@MB-uy5kh]

We were a ship excursion (on HAL) during Spring Break in 2015 on Mexican Rivera cruise which was at least going to come back an hour late. They could not wait for us to return because the tide was going out and had to leave, otherwise the ship would be stranded at the port. We knew we were going to be left behind, as the tour guide was on the phone with ship since we started our return. We had four other family members cruising with us and they were already back on board since they took a different tour. We called them to let them know. The port agent made arrangements for us to fly that evening to the next port, they paid for our overnight stay at a nice all inclusive resort and the next day we watched our ship come into the port. It was actually an adventure. There are about 30 guests on the tour.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

@@MB-uy5kh wow that’s quite a story. Glad it worked out for you.

[@busybee2033]

Thanks for the cute guy in video 📹 with monster drink

[@timbrown1790]

If they were on a ship sponsored excursion, then technically they aren't pier runners.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Right. I am sure the big group at the end was from a ship excursion. Hard to distinguish the first several.

[@lindajohnson4378]

True. The ship HAS to wait if it's their excursion.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

@lindajohnson4378 yes they will.

[@genes3088]

Probably, it was an excursion purchesed from the ship. That's why the ship had to wait for them.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Yes partially that last large group coming in off that pirate ship

[@annabellesnightmares]

If you are late, first round of drinks for everyone is on you.

[@livecamstreaming]

I think this is my favorite kind of video.

[@EM_ARCHER]

You get better results if you RUN!!!!!! When you run every one knows that you are trying!!

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

😂😂🎯

[@faithsrvtrip8768]

I had no idea. A cruise ship vacay is my version of hell! Too many people. But this is similar, in a way, to when campers show up at the campground and everyone is watching while they back up and park in their site. Cheap entertainment especially when you see couples fighting or the person can't back into their camp site!

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Haha. Indeed it’s good entertainment especially to hear the heckling from the peanut gallery

[@carlosellis4932]

How people are late getting back on the ship is mind blowing. You know way better you even take the cruise what time the ship gets there and leaves.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

To be fair, the group at the latter part were on a late arriving shore excursion. The first half though they were just plain late. They could have been left if there wasn’t a late ship excursion.

[@EM_ARCHER]

EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU WALK!!!! the rule is if you are late the least thing that you can do is RUUUNNNNNNN!!

[@inesjones5361]

Leave the smug individuals behind. I am not a person that is early, but if I were late for a cruise departure leave me.

[@evelynmckenzie5269]

For that amount of late comers they were on a ship bought excursion. Had to be.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Yes that’s what I concluded also.

[@lindaclifford1062]

I'm guessing the last batch of "pier runners" were from a ship excursion that ran late. Ship must wait!

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

[@anthonyashley8565]

What date was this? I was on the NCL Joy, we did a overnight there instead of Bermuda cause of storm. I saw them pull gangway up after someone got on and I heard someone got left

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

That’s the date I was here

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

That’s the date I was here

[@Scraghunter]

We were almost "those people" in St Lucia once. Actually had about 10 minutes to sail away, but we still got plenty of cheerful noise from the ship.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Wow. Glad you didn’t get left.

[@Love2Cruise]

10 minutes away from sail away meant you were 20 minutes late from the all aboard time.

[@ruthkringle1353]

I couldn’t run. It would be terrible to be late.

[@robinbranco437]

Reason #12 to never go on a cruise ship😅

[@Greco4915]

I don't know why but there's something funny about watching people literally running to catch the ship. I'd personally love to go a cruise and pray I have a stateroom with a balcony, cause i'd have a small thing of popcorn watching the fools who forgot to watch their time

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Haha. Yea it’s quite entertaining to hear the peanut gallery comments.

[@timinsandiego6979]

how unbelievably irresponsible. I'd leave them behind.

[@eadecamp]

I'll have to check out RCCL's excursions now that it looks like they sail out of New Orleans. We live near St Louis and prefer to drive.

[@johnkean6852]

Our first cruise: our ticket said the ship leaves at 6pm. The real time was 4pm! Luckily we aimed to get there 2 hours before. We got there 4:05 in a panic when we realised we were late and showed our ticket. No-one knew why the 2 hour discrepency. It was very stressfull.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Wow..

[@lpwienert7358]

I sell water ballons and pay for my trip.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

😂😂😂😂

[@bkmartin1958]

I am not sure about any cruise line but Carnival. But i know on Carnival if the back on board time is 2:30, the scheduled departure time is 3:00. If we have everyone early then we depart early. If we do not have everyone we wait until departure time. Later if people are on a Carnival sponsered excursion.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

That’s consistent with other lines.

[@margaretpijnaker9922]

All this shouting is like fish wife's, this man is very opinionated..

[@mariebrooks7341]

They might have had an excursion that ran late and it was booked through the cruiseline. Maybe why those folks weren't running. The cruiseline knows who's on the itinerary for the excursion and their estimated time of arrival back which is why they are still sitting still and the gangway is down, ropes not pulled up yet. Anybody not on that excursion and was late is LUCKY that day. ijs I like to get back at least 2 hours before the due back on board time just to be safe and I'm wearing a wrist watch that is on ship's time.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Yea that’s what I surmised later on in the video.

If "All Aboard" is at 14:30 BE ABOARD AT 14:20!!! NOT just showing up. LET alone 20min late just strolling up it's nothing. BIG FINES should be given to passengers who hold up departure by more than 10min due to THEIR NEGLIGENCE!!!

[@brigettehall6316]

I wish we had been on the booze cruise! 😂 We don't recommend the Pearl Island excursion...a ferry broke down and we waited for almost an hour for a boat to come get us off the island!

For ship excursions they will wait til they get back. For other guests on their own, they will wait minimum 30 minutes past all aboard and then it depends on the distance to next port.

[@Linda-qm1uz]

So if they were on a booked ship excursion, why is there a need to run??? Nobody has to run under those circumstances and booing someone for that is un-necessary. I was on a cruise where a couple held the ship up three times during the cruise because they didn't feel being back on time was important. The Captain refused to allow them off the ship for the rest of the time. Same people THREE TIMES!!! and yes they understood what time to be back, no they were not from another country they were just plain stupid and inconsiderate.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Wow. Serves them right !

[@kathleemcallister]

[@Shdeffie]

Wasn't their fault. It was the cruise's own excursion that arrived late.

[@Scott_T_]

Passengers should be charged $20 per minute they are late automatically on their stateroom bill. Everyone knows what time to be back.

[@mmckenzie8085]

It is very clear the reason there are so many especially at the end this is a ship excursion that was late. That is the ship's responsibility which is why many in the large groups were not running. I would not make assumptions and jeer someone if it is the ship's responsibility. You are advised to go on the ship excursions for this reason. I am not saying all but it is pretty clear here several here were on one of those So narrator be careful about judging them and in particular the later groups walking. I personally could not run much at my age and fitness and if on an excursion like this why should I? I would walk as fast as I could but not going to make myself ill due to something that is not my fault. I am glad you finally figured it out but a bit late in your video after a lot of judging. Personally if I was not on a ship excursion would allow myself 1 and half hours to be safe, less stressful as things can happen. However I would probably choose ship excursions for places I don't know well or locations not easy quick access to the port. Now if someone made a habit of being late perhaps get annoyed. That is different. I know someone who was late and it was due to a traffic accident. So no I wouldn't jeer myself for a one off as would not wish to presume.

[@RoyalCaribbeanCruiseChronicles]

Thank you very much for the comments. It seems like a “tradition” for all the cruise guests standing out in their balconies waiting for the late arrivals so they can cheer and watch. It’s all in fun. Thanks again.

There is a difference in running or going quickly and just slowly walking up the pier because well they have to wait so we will just take our own sweet time.
