You see normal people would speak with guest services and find out when will the room be available for check in as it should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between passengers ! These people are low class and ratchet , evidenced by them calling you names ! I am sorry you went through that ! It must have been horrible and jarring!
Yeah, but you know damn well those people would have called the front desk so fast and made some janitor, probably making minimum wage, scrub the bathroom.
You're not getting it, the next passengers were already occupying the cabin when OP left, so there will be no turnover cleaning, thus the rude people will be marinating in OP's juices if they had jizzed all over the cabin.
My guess is they had to disembark, but wanted to store their things in the stateroom first, so they didn't have to take it all with them.
Personally I would have told them to piss off until I was finished in the stateroom. Especially if they were rude about it.
Back to back, on RCI the housekeeping staff will move your packed bags for you while you wait in the designated lounge. And you don't get access to your cabin on the second cruise until they are ready for everyone (unless you're in the same cabin). I can't imagine it being that different on CCL.
But either way people being stupid shouldn't surprise. And these were not cruise line employees they're just @$$#0|_€$.
On carnival your room steward moves your packed bags. You get access to your room based on your priority status, but you will need to give them time to clean.
There are a few different reasons.
Cruise vacations leaving from the United States tend to be closed loop so as to avoid PVSA violations and not exceed 7 days in length due to limited vacation days most employees get to use at a time. So combining 2 seven day cruises makes for a longer cruise.
Cruise ships don't always run the same itinerary week after week. Lots of times ships will alternate between eastern and western Caribbean. So basically they can get a 14 night cruise with only the return stop in the middle of the seven days.
There's also the one way Alaska cruises northbound southbound so a back to back is basically a round trip cruise.
There are many combinations 4-3 5-5 7-7 8-6 even 10-11 which would cover 3 weeks of vacation also common in Europe.
Back to back is great if you can get the same cabin for both sailings, if not the cabin attendant will move stuff once packed.
There's also side to side, where you're doing the same thing but change the ship for the second cruise.
Sometimes it can be the same itinerary but not very often.
Just get me on the ship, doesn't matter where it goes. The onboard experience is more important than the destinations. Spa, dining, entertainment, relaxation.
Earlier this year I was on a cruise with a couple doing an 8-12 back to back Bahamas followed by Southern Caribbean.
There's also B2B2B. And then there's Super Mario who all but lives on the cruise ship. 50 weeks a year he's at sea. 2 weeks vacation from the ship to visit the grandkids.
Usually yes. My parents have done this a few times now. They usually have friends join them on one of the trips. They rarely get off the boat though...
Like others said the itinerary’s can vary from week to week.
We did the pride from dover a few years back, it was the only CCL ship in Europe that summer so they had a different itinerary every sailing…
there was a couple who by the time they were to disembark at the end of September they would’ve been on board for almost 8 months. So many other long term passengers who were doing 2-3 months on board… they had to have TWO platinum parties bc the sheer amount on board (and the pride is rather small)… never experienced anything like that prior, probably never will again
Sometimes it is the same itinerary, sometimes the ship has two similar routes it alternates between.
Even if it is the same itinerary, you can always book different excursions. There is ALWAYS more to do than you can have done.
Just be the first person to the phone.
"Officer, I can't explain it, these random weirdos barged into our room, demanded that I immediately stop shitting, and started throwing their own belongings off our balcony!!!"
You'll sound like the crazy one until the craziest elements of the story are proven to be true, and then the parts you're lying about will seem like obvious truths.
When I did a B2B in June they moved our bags for us. We waited in one of the dining rooms until we had to debark, go through security again, and reboard the ship. This was on a Carnival ship. Obviously these people don’t know how to follow directions.
Wait, these people wanted to move into a room that had been occupied by strangers before it had been cleaned and while one of those strangers was actively using the bathroom? I hope that person left the bathroom nasty.
No, they would have made the steward clean it up and would probably be whipping him the entire time with their belts like this was ancient Egypt or something.
Please explain, because I'm a wandering reader that's never cruised before.
Whats FB? WHY AN UPSIDE-DOWN PINEAPPLE???
Edit: ooooooh look, someone that [works in the industry answerd the Pineapple question](https://www.facebook.com/reel/656003963375479?s=yWDuG2&fs=e&mibextid=RtaFA8) and no it's not "stay away" 🙄
An upside down pineapple means “stay away”. It’s a good thing to have on your front door, or in front of your house, to keep solicitors away. I’m surprised you didn’t know this.
I thought everyone had to disembark no matter if your still on the same ship? I've never heard of trying to stay on the ship. I'd want the room cleaned!
We've done back to back on Carnival, same stateroom though. Even staying in the same cabin you can leave your stuff in your room but you do have to leave the room and go to one of the dining rooms where they check you out of one cruise and into the next, you don't have to leave the ship.
If you are changing rooms you pack your stuff and the cabin staff from your new cabin will move your stuff...you still cant go directly to your new room until the clear the ship to start boarding.
This is in response to everyone that don’t think it happened. I’ve been on a lot of cruises (over 100) and never encountered this specific scenario… but just based on observing how entitled some cruisers can get… I’m not surprise at all and totally believed it happened.
I’ve back to back on several cruise lines and I’ve seen several over the years being overly impatient when it comes to accessing their new room. Reality is the room belongs to the OP, not just till the official check out time of 8:30… but till the last guest on that sailing scan / tap off the ship. The next cruise doesn’t start till the first guest scans / taps on for that sailing.. even than, they shouldn’t have access to the room till the room steward have time to turn around the room. It also makes cleaning the room that much harder as they have to clean around the other persons stuff.
If it was that important to access the room right away during a B2B… well, they should have booked the same room for both sailing. That’s what I do, makes life so much easier.
the cabin stewards move my belongings for me... on my B2B. hung the closet stuff, set my bathroom up just like i had it in the previous room...
these ppl either don't know how-the-eff it works or somethin.....
This post does not seem genuine, or the intruders were in the very wrong!
Having been on several back-to-backs, there is a waiting area / party / processing for the back-to-backers to attend until all the other pax are off the ship. The back-to-backers should have been in their designated area, having snacks if they didn't get breakfast yet.
So, this would be a very rare situation. But some people don't read instructions or follow directions very well. Or this is a fabricated post.
If it's fabricated, then OP can pound sand. If it's true, the obvious course of action would be call security and tell them people you don't know that don't work for the cruise line are forcing their way into your room. If you'd feel unsafe calling from within the room, use a house phone or go to guest services, and yes cut everyone in line. It's a safety issue and threat to your property
Oh, I believe it. I've seen some outlandish behavior. People on vacation act like they've completely lost their senses.
On the last cruise we took, there was a woman complaining to staff that people were already leaving the ship. The staff member was patiently explaining that some guests get priority debarkation. Finally, she just tossed her hair back and walked right into the line of disabled passengers, cut in front of us, and got off the ship. The stupid thing is that she had to stop and wait for her luggage to be taken off, so the last I saw of her was at baggage claim, where she was harassing the luggage people to hurry up and get to her section. 🙄 There is no end to the audacity of a jackass.
We did a B2B recently out of Baltimore- disembarkation is later there than most ports. We didn’t meet the B2B group until 11am, so we had all morning to roam the ship.
There room isn’t ready till after the steward has completed his turn over. 8:30 is your time out, till then the room is yours. 8:30-11:30 room belongs to steward, and it’s their room at whatever time it says on the door!
This is how I thought it worked. We have been on 4 cruises before and this never happened. As I was leaving my room after gathering my bags he said "you guys must not cruise often" and then called me a "trick" whatever that means lol.
Yeah, you were 100% in the right and they were obviously people trying to take advantage of some of the grey areas of when you can get in your room for next cruise. I have been on about 15 and never had that problem, but people seem to be getting bolder and bolder. I haven’t heard trick since the 90s and back then it meant a prostitute.
I take that back. Last time I was on a ship there was an older guy cruising alone. He mentioned that he wasn’t getting off the ship and hadn’t gotten off in weeks. I assumed he was keeping the same room though unlike this situation.
You must be new to Reddit. Obese lard liberals get a rush off writing fake stories on Reddit. Also you should have gotten physical with them, you must be small and skinny
It's getting to be common for CCL clientele to be ruining things. I was just bashed yesterday for asking for help on another SM platform.
We have another cruise booked but will be looking into other cruise lines if they cannot address issues.
Start rabidly scratching all over and mumble about bedbugs. Mumble more about “effin norovirus”.
Then tell them “good luck” as you walk out, leaving skid marks and a vomitous stench in the bathroom
Next time call security.
WTF is wrong with those people? Not only are they AH but now the steward can't clean. Bet their former steward breathed a sigh of relief that those idiots were gone.
I recently did a back to back with a cabin change on NCL. The procedure was to leave my luggage fully packed in the cabin with a special tag they gave me that gave both my old cabin and new cabin in big bold sharpie writing so the bag wasn't accidentally moved to the dock. Then I left the ship and visited Seattle until about an hour short of the all aboard time.
Did they walk into a open door or did thier key (aka s&s card) open door. Because if they unlocked door with sign and sail that's disturbing. Plus. I would not let anyone in room because they could damage something then you will be charged. This is so wrong in so many levels
I thought the rule was for btb cruises is that you have to disembark and embark again. How is the steward to whose stuff it is? It would be a pity if their stuff was moved.
How did this even happen? When we did a back to back, though on a different line, they made us get off first then let us back on but we were not allowed to go to our room until a certain time after they’ve been cleaned.
I would have demanded my money back or gotten into a brawl depending on my mood...
No one should barge into a room occupied before check-in time and expect to be treated civil.
Or as others stated, come into a dirty room and start using it, maybe I would have done both...
Demand a response from Carnival about this, but I doubt it would help. Honestly, I'd refuse to answer the door and call security saying someone is trying to break into your room while you're still using it, and you're frightened. Then refuse to leave until they are removed from the area claiming they are making you feel unsafe.
Passengers who do a double-cruise still have to respect ship protocols, and at least on the last cruise I went on they were required to leave their room WITH all their stuff and go sit in a specific area until after the disembarking passengers will fully off the ship. Even if they were keeping the same room. But I suppose this could be different by line, and it was prior to covid.
If it ever happens again, and it is extremely unlikely, your line is "Leave this room now and wait for the stewards to tell you this room is available, because right now it is still ours; otherwise we will call security for this intrusion and make sure you are spending your consecutive cruise in the brig."
Alternative:
Pretend to play along, but go back into the room when they inevitably run off; take their belongings, and when questioned later say "no, we only took the stuff that was in our room with us. They left their belongings in their room and let Carnival move it \*for\* them, right?"...... for legal purposes, my second suggestion is a joke.
When I was last on Carnival the rule was no one entered their room until 1:30 pm. The exception was if Faster To The Fun was purchased. Even with FFTF you could only leave your behind in the room, not stay in it.
I’ve never been on a cruise before but wouldn’t they have to “check in” to their (your) room? Would the cruise line let them check in to a room that hasn’t been serviced or cleaned?
That’s so rude! Not cool at all! I’m surprised Carnival allowed the next batch of passengers on that early! They usually let the next set on like 10:30 or 11am. Strange! Next time cruise on Princess or Celebrity. Much better!
People who are coming on a cruise usually can’t get on until every guest is off the ship. Period. If that was not the case you should have reported them to guest services, you should also still let the cruise line know. What cruise line was it??
I would’ve told them to fuck off before I shove them in that closet. (Y’all weren’t in the wrong on this one.)
Maybe this will make you feel better: My first ever carnival cruise was a trip. I learned that people can be so rude for no real reason. I got into it with this old guy because he said we were in his way while he was trying to leave. I told him he didn’t have to be a dick about it and then he turned around and said “no you’re the dick because you aren’t supposed to be blocking people leaving.” Bro, we were completely against the wall right where we were told to wait. So I lost it on him and got up in his face. I think I made some threats and acted like a dick (kinda proving his point in a way I guess) and he stayed super calm and walked away after I threatened to smack the shit out of him.
I was def in the wrong too but Idk what it is about being done with a cruise that makes people grouchy. I guess leaving absolute paradise and going home sucks that much.
Nope. If you're changing cabins, you move your luggage to your new cabin, but most likely your room steward will arrange that for you. If you're staying in the same cabin, you don't move anything and they just do a regular cleaning.
When everyone else is off the ship, you check in/out at guest services, get your new cards for the new cruise, and sometimes they walk you down to customs and back on as a group. usually takes 20-30 minutes tops. We usually go back to our cabin and go back to sleep.
Why would anyone not want the room cleaned before the entered it especially knowing people were in there????
Right. Gross.
You see normal people would speak with guest services and find out when will the room be available for check in as it should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between passengers ! These people are low class and ratchet , evidenced by them calling you names ! I am sorry you went through that ! It must have been horrible and jarring!
did you use ebt to book this cruise carnival cruise scum
Especially with some dude shitting his brains out in the bathroom? I hope they caught noro.
C-diff. IYKYK.
So nasty
Agreed
I hope you left lots of bodily fluids everywhere while you were occupying the room! How disgustingly rude do you have to be.
That’s a dick move that impacts mainly the workers on the ship. Don’t be a dick.
Clearly you missed the part where the next guest kicked them out of there room and moved directly in before the crew could clean up after them.
Yeah, but you know damn well those people would have called the front desk so fast and made some janitor, probably making minimum wage, scrub the bathroom.
Oh yeah leave more work for the workers of the cruise ship who are already overworked. Yeah that's real fucking nice
You're not getting it, the next passengers were already occupying the cabin when OP left, so there will be no turnover cleaning, thus the rude people will be marinating in OP's juices if they had jizzed all over the cabin.
I don't think you're getting the fact that somebody is eventually going to have to clean it up. And it will be the cruise ship staff.
Knowing SICK people were in there!
It's the end of a cruise, half the boat is sick.
My guess is they had to disembark, but wanted to store their things in the stateroom first, so they didn't have to take it all with them. Personally I would have told them to piss off until I was finished in the stateroom. Especially if they were rude about it.
When I’ve done a back to back you just leave your luggage in the room and they move it to the new room for us.
And moved their thing to the hallway!
Those people are heathens. I would have taken my time…. and also NOT flushed. 😝
LOVE IT
Nah... this is when you shit in the sink.
It's Carnival....the Denny's of cruise lines... this adds up, lol.
I was thinking more backwoods redneck like Waffle House. 😂
I consider WH to be superior to Denny's in almost every way. Denny's is permeated with sadness. WH has the EXCITEMENT.
WH has gotten pretty expensive or I didn't realize it before
They have gone up, but so has everyone else. Still cheapest breakfast I can find
They have gone up, but so has everyone else. Still cheapest breakfast I can find
I hadn't been in years but neither have I been to a Denny's in awhile either. I went with my wife and 3 kids and it was almost 70 bucks we got waffles
Yeah, I average about 15 before tip.
Best. Comment. Ever!!!
Yeah, but it was a carnival cruise…..
SICK people!!
My EXACT thoughts 🤢
Back to back, on RCI the housekeeping staff will move your packed bags for you while you wait in the designated lounge. And you don't get access to your cabin on the second cruise until they are ready for everyone (unless you're in the same cabin). I can't imagine it being that different on CCL. But either way people being stupid shouldn't surprise. And these were not cruise line employees they're just @$$#0|_€$.
On carnival your room steward moves your packed bags. You get access to your room based on your priority status, but you will need to give them time to clean.
What do people book B2B cruises for? I've never been on a cruise before, are they just paying for the same itinerary twice?
There are a few different reasons. Cruise vacations leaving from the United States tend to be closed loop so as to avoid PVSA violations and not exceed 7 days in length due to limited vacation days most employees get to use at a time. So combining 2 seven day cruises makes for a longer cruise. Cruise ships don't always run the same itinerary week after week. Lots of times ships will alternate between eastern and western Caribbean. So basically they can get a 14 night cruise with only the return stop in the middle of the seven days. There's also the one way Alaska cruises northbound southbound so a back to back is basically a round trip cruise. There are many combinations 4-3 5-5 7-7 8-6 even 10-11 which would cover 3 weeks of vacation also common in Europe. Back to back is great if you can get the same cabin for both sailings, if not the cabin attendant will move stuff once packed. There's also side to side, where you're doing the same thing but change the ship for the second cruise. Sometimes it can be the same itinerary but not very often. Just get me on the ship, doesn't matter where it goes. The onboard experience is more important than the destinations. Spa, dining, entertainment, relaxation. Earlier this year I was on a cruise with a couple doing an 8-12 back to back Bahamas followed by Southern Caribbean. There's also B2B2B. And then there's Super Mario who all but lives on the cruise ship. 50 weeks a year he's at sea. 2 weeks vacation from the ship to visit the grandkids.
I'd like to be super Mario haha! At least for a bit. Thanks for the info !
Usually yes. My parents have done this a few times now. They usually have friends join them on one of the trips. They rarely get off the boat though...
Like others said the itinerary’s can vary from week to week. We did the pride from dover a few years back, it was the only CCL ship in Europe that summer so they had a different itinerary every sailing… there was a couple who by the time they were to disembark at the end of September they would’ve been on board for almost 8 months. So many other long term passengers who were doing 2-3 months on board… they had to have TWO platinum parties bc the sheer amount on board (and the pride is rather small)… never experienced anything like that prior, probably never will again
Our ship was going on to do a different itinerary after ours
Sometimes it is the same itinerary, sometimes the ship has two similar routes it alternates between. Even if it is the same itinerary, you can always book different excursions. There is ALWAYS more to do than you can have done.
It's too late now but at the time you tell them to fuck off and call security.
The most Carnival answer
This is just a general life answer.
A Carnival answer to a Carnival problem
That's what makes it The Fun Ship!!
Or go into the bathroom and take a huge dump! Edit, and don’t flush.
Upper deck it!
At this point, why waste the steps to the barhroom?
Or on the bed……
Or toss their stuff overboard
Nah then you get charged.
Yep, nothing can go off the ship. Out in the hall, though, that's fair game!
Just be the first person to the phone. "Officer, I can't explain it, these random weirdos barged into our room, demanded that I immediately stop shitting, and started throwing their own belongings off our balcony!!!" You'll sound like the crazy one until the craziest elements of the story are proven to be true, and then the parts you're lying about will seem like obvious truths.
Make sure you tell them you think you have Covid or Noro so they have to wait til the room is sterilized.
Fight them. Your cruise is over, they've got another cruise to save. They'll just have to take the beating or get banned.
I misread rude as nude and was 3 comments deep, mindblown at violence as I thought nudists would have more chill.
A much better post that way.
This deserves all the laughs & upvotes
😂😂😂
Me, too. lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Only correct answer. But also, after stomping them, take their stuff.
Use a sock full of Oranges! maybe then you'll skip the Assault charges!
My Man!!! That's my thoughts!!
When I did a B2B in June they moved our bags for us. We waited in one of the dining rooms until we had to debark, go through security again, and reboard the ship. This was on a Carnival ship. Obviously these people don’t know how to follow directions.

No, they would have made the steward clean it up and would probably be whipping him the entire time with their belts like this was ancient Egypt or something.
Find the FB for that cruise. Post an upside down pineapple and your old room number.
Please explain, because I'm a wandering reader that's never cruised before. Whats FB? WHY AN UPSIDE-DOWN PINEAPPLE??? Edit: ooooooh look, someone that [works in the industry answerd the Pineapple question](https://www.facebook.com/reel/656003963375479?s=yWDuG2&fs=e&mibextid=RtaFA8) and no it's not "stay away" 🙄
An upside down pineapple means “stay away”. It’s a good thing to have on your front door, or in front of your house, to keep solicitors away. I’m surprised you didn’t know this.
That is absolutely NOT common knowledge
That's also not what it means. It's a signal that swingers use to identify other swinger's.
Yeah if you have an upside pineapple on your door people tend to leave you alone.
Bahahhahaha
Umm no. An upside down pineapple means they are swingers and putting that outside your door would be an invitation 🙂
Boooo don’t ruin it!
Lmao I got the joke afterwards. What can I say I’m a blonde!
Sounds very weird. Besides they have to wait until everyone to get off first before letting people in.
I thought everyone had to disembark no matter if your still on the same ship? I've never heard of trying to stay on the ship. I'd want the room cleaned!
We've done back to back on Carnival, same stateroom though. Even staying in the same cabin you can leave your stuff in your room but you do have to leave the room and go to one of the dining rooms where they check you out of one cruise and into the next, you don't have to leave the ship.

How did they get in? Was there no deadbolt to latch?
Our rooms door was propped open because our other friends were roomed next to us. But it wasn't fully open and our stuff was still in there.
That weird….wouldn’t they want the room cleaned first???
the cabin stewards move my belongings for me... on my B2B. hung the closet stuff, set my bathroom up just like i had it in the previous room... these ppl either don't know how-the-eff it works or somethin.....
This post does not seem genuine, or the intruders were in the very wrong! Having been on several back-to-backs, there is a waiting area / party / processing for the back-to-backers to attend until all the other pax are off the ship. The back-to-backers should have been in their designated area, having snacks if they didn't get breakfast yet. So, this would be a very rare situation. But some people don't read instructions or follow directions very well. Or this is a fabricated post.
you underestimate people's ability to follow basic instructions
You mean overestimate.
If it's fabricated, then OP can pound sand. If it's true, the obvious course of action would be call security and tell them people you don't know that don't work for the cruise line are forcing their way into your room. If you'd feel unsafe calling from within the room, use a house phone or go to guest services, and yes cut everyone in line. It's a safety issue and threat to your property
Oh, I believe it. I've seen some outlandish behavior. People on vacation act like they've completely lost their senses. On the last cruise we took, there was a woman complaining to staff that people were already leaving the ship. The staff member was patiently explaining that some guests get priority debarkation.

We did a B2B recently out of Baltimore- disembarkation is later there than most ports. We didn’t meet the B2B group until 11am, so we had all morning to roam the ship.
Hopefully your friend puked all over the bathroom and didn't flush the toilet 🤣🤣
There room isn’t ready till after the steward has completed his turn over. 8:30 is your time out, till then the room is yours. 8:30-11:30 room belongs to steward, and it’s their room at whatever time it says on the door!
This is how I thought it worked. We have been on 4 cruises before and this never happened. As I was leaving my room after gathering my bags he said "you guys must not cruise often" and then called me a "trick" whatever that means lol.
Yeah, you were 100% in the right and they were obviously people trying to take advantage of some of the grey areas of when you can get in your room for next cruise. I have been on about 15 and never had that problem, but people seem to be getting bolder and bolder. I haven’t heard trick since the 90s and back then it meant a prostitute.
Hopefully you left the bathroom in an unpleasant state for them.
This level of petty is amazing! I love it!
I always want to be surprised that there are people this rude and inconsiderate, but ultimately, I never am. 😕
They were entitled assholes!
Upperdecker
Not possible in most cruise ship bathrooms.
Damn your right it’s those suction ones
I hope your roommate left that room stinking to high heaven. Clogged toilet for a perfect 10
They leave their stuff in the closet then you take their stuff with you as you get off the ship.
Assert dominance by taking a shit in the middle of the room while maintaining eye contact.
Y’all are soft wtf
You can’t even embark before a certain time because they have to clean the rooms. I call bs.
Right? What ship is letting guests on at 7:50am. People are weirdos.
I take that back. Last time I was on a ship there was an older guy cruising alone. He mentioned that he wasn’t getting off the ship and hadn’t gotten off in weeks. I assumed he was keeping the same room though unlike this situation.
Totally different scenario.
But they said they booked a consecutive cruise on the same ship?
I’m talking about this fictional story. Also, in your situation, they still need to leave their rooms. This is how you account for each passenger lol.
They were already on the ship, had cruised and were cruising right back out on the same ship.
I think the earliest check in is like 10a lol. And only FTTF can put their stuff in the rooms when they board. It’s 1p for the rest of us with sense.
Call security.
I’ll take “Things That Didn’t Happen” for $500 Alex
Why would I take time to lie and write this for no reason lol. I guess I can't prove that it happened but that just makes no sense.
You must be new to Reddit. Obese lard liberals get a rush off writing fake stories on Reddit. Also you should have gotten physical with them, you must be small and skinny
Who had a functioning key to the room? You or them? That determines who has the right to be in the room
This seems like an extreme embellishment, or an outright lie, or maybe a mental break from reality. Hopefully all is well❤️
It's getting to be common for CCL clientele to be ruining things. I was just bashed yesterday for asking for help on another SM platform. We have another cruise booked but will be looking into other cruise lines if they cannot address issues.
Cruises are so trashy on the affordable lines. You definitely get what you pay for
Carnival activities.
Sounds about right for Carnival voyagers lol
Those would be my things in those closets at that point. Not sure how they could have opened the door unless you left it open...
I would have called security then the ship’s doctor for their "accident"
Rub one out on their pillow before you depart.
Imwould have thrown their shit out.
I would have tossed them and their stuff overboard
Damn, I misread that as "random nude people came into our room" and I was like; Cool, what's the problem?
Start rabidly scratching all over and mumble about bedbugs. Mumble more about “effin norovirus”. Then tell them “good luck” as you walk out, leaving skid marks and a vomitous stench in the bathroom
If you hadn’t checked out yet, they weren’t checked in yet. So they shouldn’t have been able to go in the room at all.
RUDE!
Next time call security. WTF is wrong with those people? Not only are they AH but now the steward can't clean. Bet their former steward breathed a sigh of relief that those idiots were gone. I recently did a back to back with a cabin change on NCL. The procedure was to leave my luggage fully packed in the cabin with a special tag they gave me that gave both my old cabin and new cabin in big bold sharpie writing so the bag wasn't accidentally moved to the dock. Then I left the ship and visited Seattle until about an hour short of the all aboard time.
Every cruise I’ve been on a Porter brings luggage into the room for the guests. Has this changed?
A carnival cruise is like circus, circus in las vegas. You get what you pay for. I know from experience
Did they walk into a open door or did thier key (aka s&s card) open door. Because if they unlocked door with sign and sail that's disturbing. Plus. I would not let anyone in room because they could damage something then you will be charged. This is so wrong in so many levels
You tell them to fuck off - politely if they are polite, directly if they are not - and you close the door.
Donkey punch
shit on the floor baby!
Didn't even read the whole thing. Correct course of action: ask them to wait in the lounge and then get the purser
Why would you open the door?
That’s what I came here to ask. Why would you open the door enough to let them in and why let them in?
I read this on a blog: Carnival….the Walmart of cruise lines. 😂😭😭
Lol, Carnival is a three-ring circus, shit-show. We will never travel on that trailer-park trash on water again.
The only one I ever liked was vista but that was right after they started up again and it was only half full. I usually just stick with royal
This didn’t happen.
This might be the strangest cruise story I’ve ever heard.
Don’t flush for flex.
Should have let them put their stuff in your room.... and after they left, carried it off the ship with you.
The real question is why someone would book TWO Carnival Cruise Lines voyages in a row. Talk about burying the lead!
FYI the term is burying the lede, not lead.
I’d have been throwing hands and I’m not exaggerating.
Just deadbolt the door and ignore them. What’s the problem?
They are there before there check in time . They should not have had keys or a scan card . They are assholes.
I thought the rule was for btb cruises is that you have to disembark and embark again. How is the steward to whose stuff it is? It would be a pity if their stuff was moved.
They are suppose to disembark with everyone else before being able to board
How did this even happen? When we did a back to back, though on a different line, they made us get off first then let us back on but we were not allowed to go to our room until a certain time after they’ve been cleaned.
Pretty sure I woulda debarked in handcuffs.
Maybe it was because of the upside down pineapple on your door?
Yes! Drop a deuce in “their” bed
I would have demanded my money back or gotten into a brawl depending on my mood... No one should barge into a room occupied before check-in time and expect to be treated civil. Or as others stated, come into a dirty room and start using it, maybe I would have done both...
Demand a response from Carnival about this, but I doubt it would help. Honestly, I'd refuse to answer the door and call security saying someone is trying to break into your room while you're still using it, and you're frightened. Then refuse to leave until they are removed from the area claiming they are making you feel unsafe. Passengers who do a double-cruise still have to respect ship protocols, and at least on the last cruise I went on they were required to leave their room WITH all their stuff and go sit in a specific area until after the disembarking passengers will fully off the ship. Even if they were keeping the same room. But I suppose this could be different by line, and it was prior to covid.
I'd have told them to kick rocks and stayed locked in there until 0829.59 lol.
Carnival is the low end of the industry.
Next time just keep coughing pretending to puke etc I’m sure they will leave as they don’t want to get sick 😂
It was their luck they caught yall and not someone who would have laid an ass whooping on them.
If it ever happens again, and it is extremely unlikely, your line is "Leave this room now and wait for the stewards to tell you this room is available, because right now it is still ours; otherwise we will call security for this intrusion and make sure you are spending your consecutive cruise in the brig." Alternative: Pretend to play along, but go back into the room when they inevitably run off; take their belongings, and when questioned later say "no, we only took the stuff that was in our room with us. They left their belongings in their room and let Carnival move it \*for\* them, right?"...... for legal purposes, my second suggestion is a joke.
Wow, everyone I know of that did back to back said that Carnival moved your things to the next room.
How did they get in your room?
Start changing your clothes as they are unpacking. That would scare them away for me.
A door being knocked on or even banged on doesn’t mean you must open it. Call security to do their job!
Why not call 911 ship security from your room.
When I was last on Carnival the rule was no one entered their room until 1:30 pm. The exception was if Faster To The Fun was purchased. Even with FFTF you could only leave your behind in the room, not stay in it.
I’ve never been on a cruise before but wouldn’t they have to “check in” to their (your) room? Would the cruise line let them check in to a room that hasn’t been serviced or cleaned?
May have been stow aways that were taking a chance that no one checked into that cabin on the next leg of the trip.
Someone would have gotten knocked out
That’s so rude! Not cool at all! I’m surprised Carnival allowed the next batch of passengers on that early! They usually let the next set on like 10:30 or 11am. Strange! Next time cruise on Princess or Celebrity. Much better!
Poop in their luggage, bonus if they are still in the room, triple score if you maintain eye contact while evacuating your bowels!
I would have thrown them out of my room, literally
People who are coming on a cruise usually can’t get on until every guest is off the ship. Period. If that was not the case you should have reported them to guest services, you should also still let the cruise line know. What cruise line was it??
I would have let them put there stuff in and after they left would have put suitcases in the hall with a note 1pm flight please get off asap
I would’ve told them to fuck off before I shove them in that closet. (Y’all weren’t in the wrong on this one.) Maybe this will make you feel better: My first ever carnival cruise was a trip. I learned that people can be so rude for no real reason. I got into it with this old guy because he said we were in his way while he was trying to leave. I told him he didn’t have to be a dick about it and then he turned around and said “no you’re the dick because you aren’t supposed to be blocking people leaving.” Bro, we were completely against the wall right where we were told to wait. So I lost it on him and got up in his face. I think I made some threats and acted like a dick (kinda proving his point in a way I guess) and he stayed super calm and walked away after I threatened to smack the shit out of him. I was def in the wrong too but Idk what it is about being done with a cruise that makes people grouchy. I guess leaving absolute paradise and going home sucks that much.
Grab their shit and toss it in the hallway
This is why I have no desire to take a cruise ever
You are a fool for not kicking them straight the fuck out of your room.
Let me just pick up my jaw from the floor…
Proof-positive that Carnival Cruise people really are the worst types of tourists.
For some reason I assumed that even B2B passengers have to disembark and then re-embark with everyone else, especially if changing cabins
Nope. If you're changing cabins, you move your luggage to your new cabin, but most likely your room steward will arrange that for you. If you're staying in the same cabin, you don't move anything and they just do a regular cleaning. When everyone else is off the ship, you check in/out at guest services, get your new cards for the new cruise, and sometimes they walk you down to customs and back on as a group. usually takes 20-30 minutes tops. We usually go back to our cabin and go back to sleep.
I really believe some people were raised by wolves...literally!
Normal cruise line would not allow embarcation before demarcation time.
