Cruises: Expectation vs Reality

Posted: January 11, 2024 | Last updated: January 11, 2024

Expectation: Boarding the Ship is a Dream Come True

A first-time passenger typically does not have much to pull from when imagining their cruise vacation besides what they saw in the movies. Therefore, they will likely picture boarding the cruise ship as being a luxurious highlight of the trip. Quite a few movies make it seem as if it is a peaceful, private and pleasant experience. Perhaps you may even picture a crowd of people waving you off as the ship pulls away from the dock.

Reality: Battling the Crowd of Other Passengers Can Be a Nightmare

Think of when you are boarding a plane or even a train. There are typically several hundred other people making their way through the same path as you, right? This is especially the case with the latecomers running behind schedule that simply do not want to miss their ride. Keep in mind that the average cruise ship holds several thousand people - not several hundred. Therefore, the boarding experience can quickly become like animals in a stampede instead of the private luxury experience you may imagine.

Expectation: Award-Winning Entertainers Will Perform Onstage

The phrase "live entertainment" may immediately generate a list your favorite award-winning singers, songwriters, and musicians. You may check the cruise itinerary to see exactly which celebrities (if any) will be performing during our specific trip dates. In some cases, there is a headlining act designed to draw a crowd and compel more travelers to book reservations.

Even if their names are not listed, you may even still hold out the hope that a surprise performer will make an appearance.

Reality: You Are More Likely to See Karaoke Stars Instead of Billboard Artists

As mentioned, there are some cruises that draw a lot of interest by advertising an A-list celebrity or Grammy-winning performer as the headlining act. What most people forget, though, is that the headlining act is not the only performer. Even in a typical concert experience on land, the lineup is filled more with opening acts and lesser-known performers than the crowd-creating acts. The same is the case with cruise ships. The quality of the "live entertainment" for most of the trip will basically match the same quality you may enjoy during a local karaoke night at your local bar.

Expectation: Delicious Food Galore and New Activities Daily

One of the most exciting parts for most first-timers is planning out the daily itinerary. You may have done the research of what cuisines are available in the buffet line or all the activities available on the ship. They may even make sure that they pack "stretchy pants" just so they can make room for all the wonderful foods and beverages that they will store in their bellies. Those who enjoy creating schedules for themselves may even map out everything they plan to do and eat - expecting there to be an abundance of new and exciting options added to the list daily.

Reality: Overcrowded Buffet Lines and Relatively Short Activity List

Just because there are a lot of options available in the buffet line does not mean you'll get to stuff your belly with all of them. Keep in mind that there are thousands of other passengers onboard along with you. This means that, at any given time, you may be in a crowded line of likeminded foodies ready to stuff their bellies as well.

In addition, you may find yourself burning through the available options on the activity list much quicker than you expect. This typically leaves you wanting more towards the middle of your trip but having to settle on reruns instead of brand new episodes.

Expectation: All-Inclusive Means You Can Leave Your Wallet at Home

The phrase "all-inclusive" can mislead more first-time travelers than you may realize. It creates the illusion that everything is covered and paid for as soon as you come aboard the ship. You may even consider keeping your wallet with your belongings and "living it up" as you believe everything your heart desires is included within the initial cost of your purchased travel package.

Reality: 'All-Inclusive' Has More Fine Print Than You Realize

It is true that the "all-inclusive" label may cover a lot of your meals and drinks during the trip. However, there are still plenty of other enticing things that do not come with that label. For instance, gratuity for your service and housekeepers is not included. The cost of premium beverages and first-class entree upgrades may come with an additional price tag as well. In addition, there are the casinos, activity packages, and even gift shop souvenirs that will require you to at least have your payment information handy.

Expectation: You Will Have the Luxury Cabin of Your Dreams

The dream scenario for most first-time travelers consists of using their room key to unlock the door to a luxury suite with expensive linens, quality furnishings, and a substantial amount of living space. Some travelers even pack a little more than they initially planned just to take full advantage of the ample closet space that they imagined will be provided in their luxury cabins. You may even picture the high-count Egyptian cotton sheets on a California King bed and feel right at home.

Reality: You Will Only Have a Luxury Cabin in Your Dreams

The reality is that most of the cabins on a standard cruise ship are much smaller than you may realize. A major misconception is that a huge cruise ship automatically means that each of the cabins within it are huge. You must remember that there are several thousand passengers on a fully-booked cruise ship - which means there is nowhere near enough space available for every cabin to be a luxury suite. You will more than likely have to settle for a king-sized food dish long before you enjoy a king-sized mattress in your cruise ship cabin.

‘We’re stranded here’: Couple says cruise line abandoned them on African island

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. ( WMBF /Gray News) - A South Carolina couple’s dream vacation has turned into a nightmare at sea this week.

Jill and Jay Campbell say they are currently stranded on a small island off the coast of Africa after their cruise ship left without them.

“We were waiting for the tender boats to come back and get us because our boat was anchored off the harbor, but they didn’t come back to get us. So, we’re stranded here,” Jay Campbell said.

The Campbells were eight days into a 21-day cruise, which started in South Africa and stopped on the island of São Tomé.

“We were on a tour of the island, but we had an issue on the tour, and they didn’t get us back in time,” Jay Campbell said.

Despite help from the island’s coast guard the cruise ship reportedly refused to let them and several others back on board. This has left some without their money, medicine, vaccination certificates required by immigration, and all other belongings left in their cabins.

WMBF reports that the Norwegian Dawn has abandoned seven American and two Australian passengers.

The Campbells said several passengers are older, one has a heart condition, one is a paraplegic, and another is a pregnant woman.

The couple said they are now trying to reunite with the ship at another African port, but the process has been complicated.

“We’re trying to get written permission from the cruise line to reboard,” Jill Campbell said.

Despite the issues, the forgotten passengers are hopeful they can finish their trip.

“We paid a lot for this trip to Africa, so we hope to make it through the rest of this trip and end in Spain,” Jay Campbell said.

All the passengers have reportedly tried reaching out to Norwegian Cruise Line but have yet to get any assistance in re-embarking the ship.

“We’ve got our flights booked to Gambia. However, we don’t know if we’ll be able to get into the country and get back on the ship,” Jill Campbell said.

WMBF reports Norwegian Cruise Lines released the following statement regarding the situation on Saturday:

“On the afternoon of March 27, 2024, while the ship was in Sao Tome and Principe, an African island nation, eight guests who were on the island on their own or with a private tour missed the last tender back to the vessel, therefore not meeting the all aboard time of 3 p.m. local time.

While this is a very unfortunate situation, guests are responsible for ensuring they return to the ship at the published time, which is communicated broadly over the ship’s intercom, in the daily communication and posted just before exiting the vessel.

Guests are responsible for any necessary travel costs to rejoin the ship at the next available port of call. When the guests did not return to the vessel at the all-aboard time, their passports were delivered to the local port agents to retrieve when they returned to the port.

Our team has been working closely with the local authorities to understand the requirements and necessary visas needed if the guests were to rejoin the ship at the next available port of call. We are in communication with the guests and providing additional information as it becomes available.”
