Cruise employee reveals shocking passenger behaviour
- Replies 43
Imagine stepping aboard a luxurious cruise ship, feeling the salty sea air and looking forward to several exciting adventure-filled days.
Now imagine that the charm of this journey begins to fade as you notice other passengers sauntering around with a complete disregard for basic hygiene protocols.
Lucy Southerton, a seasoned cruise professional, has aired her feelings about it all.
She talked about how certain behaviours can be deemed inappropriate and downright unhygienic.
And the one that tops her list? The barefoot crowds.
Lucy (28), who has been aboard cruise ships for almost a decade, was appalled at the sight of passengers often entirely shedding their footwear to explore the vast expanse of the vessel.
From shopping areas to the theatre, no area was exempt from the barefoot invasion.
This behaviour also often continued for the entire duration of the trip.
She shared that those who go barefoot are usually 'made fun of' by the crew members.
'Crew members generally make fun of passengers who deem it acceptable to walk around the cruise ship with no shoes on,' Lucy said.
'They will weave in and out of shops with no shoes on they will even think it appropriate to go to the theatre with no shoes on because technically they are indoors.'
'However any space outside of your cabin really, you should have your shoes on. And if you do want to walk around the cruise ship with no shoes on, just know that the crew members will be making fun of you.'
Lucy also cautioned against being rude towards staff members.
After all, you never quite know when you might need their assistance or when an opportunity to enjoy special deals may come your way.
This comes after another social media user, Marc Sebastian, warned about the word that cruisegoers should never say while on board.
'You’re not supposed to talk about the Titanic. Who knew that? I didn’t,' Marc said in the video, which has now been viewed 8.3 million times.
'I brought up to an entire room of people having lunch that our ship was only 100 feet longer than Titanic.'
'When I tell you that—utensils dropped, waiters gasped, it’s dead silent.'
