Things Got Ugly On the Pool Deck On Our Last Cruise

Editorial Summary

The creators recount a distressing incident involving an intoxicated couple on the pool deck of the Grandeur of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean ship. While relaxing on a sea day, the creators observed a man repeatedly bringing alcoholic drinks to his wife, who appeared incoherent and unable to stand. The situation escalated when the man placed the woman in the pool and began tossing her around despite the ship's movement and her apparent state of intoxication. Although nearby guests and the creators expressed concern to staff, the lifeguards did not intervene immediately. Eventually, security officers arrived and assisted the woman out of the pool in a wheelchair. The creators use this experience to compare the alcohol policies of different cruise lines. They note that Royal Caribbean offers truly unlimited alcohol, whereas Carnival Corporation brands implement a limit of fifteen alcoholic beverages per twenty-four-hour period for drink package holders. The video concludes by asking viewers whether cruise lines should implement drink limits to prevent belligerent behavior or if passengers should be held solely responsible for their own consumption.
