You Gotta Ban These Cruisers

Editorial Summary

The creator examines two specific scenarios involving passenger behavior that may warrant banning from cruise lines. The first case involves an encounter on the Caribbean Princess where a passenger berated both a crew member and a manager regarding the pricing of printed photographs. The passenger expressed frustration that a discount was only available for purchasing five photos rather than the three she desired. The creator suggests that passengers should take as many free photos as possible throughout the cruise to make better purchasing decisions later and questions the ethics of passengers taking cell phone pictures of watermarked digital photos to post on social media. The second case involves a social media post from a Carnival brand ambassador showing a passenger using a rubberized luggage mat as a blanket at an airport. The cruise line has charged the passenger for the mat under the assumption it was stolen. The creator asks the audience to decide if these behaviors constitute grounds for permanent bans.
